Today I learned about Unicode’s Private Use Areas. That explains why you can see this symbol on an Apple device, but can’t on Windows.
apple techI have changed so many things here ever since I started, I should have kept a change log. I know I have the git log, but it isn’t the same. Maybe it is not too late to start? Meh, on second thoughts… too lazy. Day’s almost over now, better do something productive. You know, like watching some Korean series. Ha!
SUSE is positioning itself to take advantage of Red Hat’s changes (which has sparked criticisms). Excellent approach!
rants tech unixIf you have an Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Watch, AppleTV, Mac), please update it as soon as possible. This, as with any other security updates, I stress, must be done as soon as you can.
For iPhone/iPad, go to “Settings → General → Software Update”, and choose to install. For WatchOS, go to “Settings → General → Software Update”, and follow the instructions to upgrade. Finally, for macOS go to “System Settings → General → Software Update” (on older versions is a bit different, but you get the general idea).
apple techI have managed to break links a bit further, and it is no longer possible—nor the old ones will work—to create anchor links within the paginated index. On the upside, I am not touching URIs ever again!
hugo techCool URIs don’t change, but I am starting to worry about the size (66.6KB as of this note) of this index page. Maybe my URIs are destined to be uncool. 😂
hugo techVisionPro is going to be something. But its true popularity will come down to its pricing, and how many games (yes, games) they get on-boarded. I am hopeful, though.

It will cost $3,500. When a meal for three on a not-super-fancy restaurant costs $260, it is easy to see how a TV, computer, and high definition camera all in one—and that barely starts to describe VisionPro—will cost that much.
apple techCommonMark’s ability to set classes and identifiers is amazing. Hugo (which I use to generate this notes) is using it. They work like so, in CommonMark markdown:
Hello world.
{.foo .bar #foh}
Which, in turn, will render and HTML code like this:
<p class="foo bar" id="foh">Hello world.</p>
Now all you have to do is define the class and id on your CSS, or whatever. Neat, right?
Having grown tired of seeing “Added or edited a note, or tweaked something.” on the commit logs for these notes, I have now tweaked the new note script to ask for a commit message. This is the maiden voyage, let’s see if it works.

It works! Added editing old notes too. Considering migrating from the vi editor to Typora for any note with media in it.
“Rapid Security Responses are a new type of software release for iPhone, iPad and Mac. They deliver important security improvements between software updates – for example, improvements to the Safari web browser, the WebKit framework stack or other critical system libraries. They may also be used to mitigate some security issues more quickly, such as issues that may have been exploited or reported to exist.” — Rapid Security Responses
This is new, at least for me, and interesting. There seems to be more to gain than to lose by installing, and enabling it. Done!
