Requried software

 I work to do most things via the keyboard instead of the mouse. Having a clipboard manager is huge. Here are a few things I use.

Linux

MacOS

• https://qsapp.com/
• https://snark.github.io/jumpcut/ 

Also, I like information on the desktop.

Oily coffee beans

So we have a Gaggia Brera superautomatic espresso maker. It makes great espresso but refuses to feed oily coffee beans. Here's a list of those that aren't and those that are too oily.

Not too oily:

• Nicoletti Coffee Espresso Roast Beans https://www.nicoletticoffee.com/
• Most of the actual Italian beans, such as those from Lavazza

In between

• Verena Street Shot Tower Espresso

Too oily:

• Dazbog White Nights Espresso
• Kicking Horse Cliff Hanger Espresso
• Kicking Horse Three Sisters

It'd be nice if the roasters would come up with a method to express this. In general of course, we can look for light or medium roast, but there is little consistency between the light/medium/dark roast oiliness.

This just gets worse and worse

More macos strangeness.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    int pid = fork();

    if (pid == 0) {
        printf("child, errno: %d\n", errno);
        exit(0);
    } else {
        printf("parent, errno: %d\n", errno);
        exit(0);
    }
}

And here's the output under macos.

$ ./a.out 
parent, errno: 0
child, errno: 22

The fork man page doesn't even list "Invalid argument" as a possible errno value...

MacOS/Darwin/Mach sleep weirdness

A system call to sleep returns 0 as it should, but set errno to 60 "ETIMEDOUT Operation timed out." which it really shouldn't, especially on a return of 0. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/sleep.html states "No errors are defined." Here's some C proof.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    printf("this looks good: %d\n", sleep(1));
    printf("this does not: %d\n", errno);
}

And the output.

this looks good: 0
this does not: 60
