I finally upgraded my Mac Mini (late 2014) model (8GB RAM!!! 2.6GHz dual-core i5) to the newest version of XCode (v 14).
Each time I've tried to run it the machine has completely locked up. v13 of Xcode ran ok and at least the box didn't crash.
I went out and ordered a new Mac Mini (M1 chip, 16GB RAM). Hope this one runs a lot better. We will see.
I received notification that it shipped and went out to take a look where it is shipping from[^] (snapshot of shipping label).
That's a long way from me. 
I run them headless (connected via ethernet to my Linux box).
Any iOS devs out there. Give a shout!!

Which monitor are you going to use with your new Mac Mini?
|
|
|
|
|
I connect to it using Remmina (remote desktop for linux) so I just use one of my two basic 23" monitor that is connected to my Linux box. No special graphics for me.

|
I look forward to your apps created with your new Mac Mini.

I was having all kinds of inconsistent behavior with my PWM driven fan. It's a very high quality fan from a fantastic vendor - about as good as it gets at the consumer level so I was really confused as to its performance. I even wrote about my confusion over this fan in an article, and that confusion in the article survived at least one article update.
Don't judge me for what I'm about to say.
For two days I had it laying flat on my bench.
No, in case you're wondering, it didn't occur to me to stand it up. For. Two. Days.
I'm going to find a corner to curl up in and die of embarrassment now.

You were simply doing some edge case testing, unconsciously.

You have collected data for non-standard fan orientation and operation. Something worth noting.

Well that… sucks!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Actually, it didn't. That's what her problem was.

It is not obvious to me why a fan would not function whilst in the horizontal position. If it were myself I would send a nasty note to the manufacturer. Did the instructions state "Do not lie flat on bench."
|
|
|
|
|
The airflow is impeded when it's laying against a flat surface.
Don't feel too bad. It took me two days to put that together.

The impeded air flow is obvious but was the problem it would not even spin if horizontal?
|
|
|
|
|
It spun, it was just wasn't spinning at max ratings, and I wasn't getting stable RPMs.

"Do not lie flat on bench."
Maybe that could that have been interpreted to mean that while laying on a bench lay on your side or curled up? The manufacturer might have received complains from users having side hip pains and removed that instruction.

It wouldn't have occurred to me either

If you turn it over (still flat), does it turn into a hover craft?
Add collective control, and drive it around your bench.

A long time ago I managed a database group. One of my developers who I will say right now was female although in my mind was not relevant, had been fighting a problem in the code for days. She finally fixed it - something stupid/silly/why didn't I think of that before sort of thing. I thought it was pretty funny and appreciated her effort and struggle, because I have dozens of the same dang t-shirt in my attic.
I said, "yup, welcome to development..." and was almost taken to HR.
Good for you, and yeah that stuff happens. Debugging 101 - even if you wrote the code 10 years ago, don't assume you did it correctly. I just found a bug in a utility I wrote, and I have no idea how we ever shipped product.

Ha!, I think me being genderweird kind of insulates me from being subject to those sorts of HR complaints. If anything people tend to be more worried about me reporting them I think, but I never have. I'm pretty easy going, and anyway I don't believe in it because if it's a hostile work environment, what is HR going to do to change someone's behavior, especially when they can't change their motivations? If I'm not wanted somewhere or an environment is otherwise untenable I'll simply go somewhere I am and it isn't.

Or you are at least an accessory.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
|
|
|
|
|
I kinda feel like it's investigating my own murder, but then you should see the situations I get myself into with code.

I hear ya, sometimes I look back at code I've wrote and wonder if I'm part Italian.
