Stereotype posted:I haven't updated to El Capitan yet because I heard it breaks things if you mess around in /usr/bin (which I do) Also it breaks everything which depends on $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, including a ton of astronomy/astrophysics libraries. Not sure if these libraries have since added work-arounds though.

Googling around looks like AIPS has a fix where you just symlink your dynamic libraries into a user accessible library area: https://blogs.nrao.edu/jmalone/2015/10/05/how-to-fix-aips-under-osx-el-capitan/ Still, every update to OSX seems intent on driving physicists/astronomers away from it. They already break XCode with every release. It can never be as bad as Windows, but at some point they are going to make pure linux distros a viable alternative and it is going to be just super sad.

Most of the astronomers I know are leaning back towards Linux for their next computers. More fundamentally, I just think SIP is kind of dumb (even though it is well-intentioned). As the administrator of my laptop, I should be able to do pretty much whatever I want with it, including writing in /usr/whatever or accessing whatever environmental variables I want. A more nuanced system, like SELinux, would be a better alternative.

Most physicists still use ancient FORTRAN code on a regular basis, so whenever Apple breaks that to make things really easy and swell and abstracted for facebook game programmers we all shutter a little. FopeDush posted:~scientific linux~ I love linux security, which is either obscurity or nothing at all. I had to click on an actuator button in the SLAC ESA control terminal (running scientific linux) like ten thousand times (because we were mcgyvering something), so I wrote a auto-clicker linking in the Xlib library, since you don't need root permissions to compile an executable and the "mouseclick" function in Xlib is public! You can use this to install a keylogger without root permissions too.

i use windows 10 and my favorite feature is how every time it forces an update it downloads a hosed up driver for my thinkpad's trackpoint that disables middle click and i have to remove it manually, and there's no way to turn that off or block the update

Does it realy help you to know how your cpu is performing? Beyond "working good dude" or "on fire"? Like if pc be slow close some stuff. If pc be fast open stuff.

PC can be slow because of swapping or HDD problems too. Like 90% of computers I look at where the user's main complaint is "It is slow" the problem is either that they have a super lovely hard drive or are swapping to it since they have 50 tabs open. Also I use it to see when my code finishes running because I am looking at the internet for the 4 minutes it takes to run.

ou know you can just disable UsoSvc, BITS and wuauserv, and no updates are going to happen? This changes nothing in terms of whether you can disable updates or not. And that's good. Because if it would, I would rip Windows Update from the system, delete the services, wipe the registry keys and incinerate the binaries. I decide when the updates are good for me. Not Microsoft. And if I find those settings "occasionally overwritten", I'm not going to "expect" it. I'm going to eventually get fed up and leave for Linux, ending my 15 year long association with Windows.
