As a non-seasoned complete outsider, I thought this part of the article was somehow being dryly facetious or sarcastic or something.
Kinda good to have somebody to provide context, actually.
Anyone know of any commercial solutions for this that don't involve e.g. having to disassemble the book and feed in a stack of pages?
Ideally something on Amazon but "prosumer" lever stuff is good too.
I would love to have digital backups of my library and personal notebooks.
Couldn't find any mention of a 3rd party security assessment? Open source doesn't necessarily guarantee security though I'm really glad to see this is open source.
Given macOS's security track record - especially with High Sierra - and how particularly verbose Mach-O binaries tend to be, I'd be kinda worried about something relying so heavily on proprietary APIs (and potentially the system keystore?)
Though I'm sure using Keepass with Mono (that the Macpass site lightly implies is the only Keepass macOS alternative) isn't exactly an impenetrable fortress either haha
I (used to?) own a student license for Parallels Desktop circa 2012, though it may have expired by now.
In my experience, I could see no major differences between their solution and, say, Virtualbox.
There were some Mac-specific features like working well with Exposé when in Seamless mode and a few other UI niceties, but Parallels seems primarily geared towards supporting Windows.
Linux Guest OS support of features like Seamless mode refused to work unless you had specific kernel versions and was always several versions behind in my experience.
I'm sure the feature parity gap between Virtualbox and Parallels Desktop is even smaller today than it used to be.
The pricetag is usually less for Parallels products compared to the leading commercial competitor, FWIW.
Appreciate the clarification.
Almost picked it up from context, but was still a little curious (searching the internet for an contextual acronym is never efficient)
Anyone looked into potential privacy implications?
I understand my current carrier can potentially deduce things about my habits in the unlikely event that they were so inclined, but Alphabet et al seem to make a not insignificant portion of their profit from data gathering - that is, they don't need to be interesting in me particularly to sell data about me to those that are (whether for benign ad targeting or something more nefarious)
I don't mean to seem paranoid, but with the current hype around Google's tumultuous relationship with "Don't be evil", I'm not sure I want them having that data on me too.
Makes perfect sense when put this way.
I also really appreciate the response from the author. I forget the gurus behind books like this often have a presence here on HN.
