As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, THINK BIG. -- Donald J. Trump 🧠
Unclear On The Concept
I realized last week that I could build one of Apple's driver stacks at home. I wanted this so I could turn on its logging as well as to enable source code debugging.
Each day I updated my clients on my progress, however by today I was quite dismayed that I still couldn't get it to build. This because Apple has a private SDK called macosx.internal. The drivers from Apple's Open Source site once built out of the box, thereby enabling OpenDarwin, but now they don't.
I at first had no clue what was in machos.internal - damn autocorrect! - but eventually figured out that it needed some headers from the xnu kernel.
I figured I should try building the kernel first, but again it depends on macosx.internal. All I really needed was the headers, so I tried:
$ make installhdrs
... which did install lots of headers, but not the ones I needed. The only headers it installs are already in Kernel.framework. I needed some of the private headers. As I figured them out I added them to my own private Kernel.framework.
When I started work again today I mailed my clients with "Working at home to continue building the IOGraphicsFamily. I am dismayed that this is taking so long."
Dismayed because the client wants to send my driver to OEMs on the first.
Eric wrote back, "Do you think this will help?"
"Yes. It should enable debugging of that showstopper bug."
"The one Lucas fixed last week?"

His Eye Makeup Is Way Better Than Yours
Would you be inclined to buy makeup because a 10-year-old boy is showing you how to create a look on Instagram? If we’re talking about Jack Bennett of @makeuupbyjack, then the answer could well be a resounding yes.
Since convincing his mother to start his account in May, young Mr. Bennett, who lives in Berkshire, England, has amassed 331,000 followers and attracted the attention of brands like MAC and NYX, which have offered products to create looks. Refinery29 has celebrated him as the next big thing in makeup.
He is the latest evidence of a seismic power shift in the beauty industry, which has thrust social media influencers to the top of the pecking order. Refreshingly, they come in all shapes, sizes, ages and, more recently, genders. Hailed by Marie Claire as the “beauty boys of Instagram,” the early male pioneers, like Patrick Simondac (@PatrickStarrr), Jeffree Star (@jeffreestar) and Manny Gutierrez, (@MannyMua733), have transcended niche to become juggernauts with millions of followers. And their aesthetic is decidedly new: neither old-school-rocker makeup nor drag queen.
The sequel to Bread Boi.

Error Between Seat And Keyboard
(My writer's block has finally gone away. I used to be a passionate writer but had been unable to write for several years.)
I thought I'd just got banninated from Portland's DamnSingles group over an epic flame war the other night.
But no none of Facebook was working. Sometimes this helps:
$ sudo ping -f -c 1000 facebook.com
If your net is slow in general, do that to nsa.gov, fbi.gov, vatican.va and cern.ch.
Keep track of how long it takes the nsa to stop replying to your pings.
But no, it was not to be.
$ ping 8.8.8.8
No? Maybe just the name servers are down. I left this running for a half hour:
$ ping 4.2.2.4
During this process I cycled my Mac's WifI, power-cycled my AirPort Extreme and cable modem, but still no replies.
I puzzled over what it would cost me to get cell phone directory assistance for Comcast support. This despite that I was using mobile safari so I could continue on Facebook.
Why don't I try the World Wide Web? I hear http is up to 1.1 these days. Will the wonders never cease?
Comcast's support site goes way out of its way to impede your progress toward a live human, but I expect that's for the best as I only pay $29.99 for my first year of their lowest tier. Maybe I'll get satellite internet at month 13.
Amit from support was courteous and helpful, doubtlessly because he has yet to get the memo regarded my Net Neutrality activism on Facebook. That's the great thing about sharing the work of others - you get to pretend you make a difference despite that you're preaching to the choir!
When he asked me to verify my contact details I realized that my phone number changed when I bought my iPhone, but I didn't update my number with Comcast. What was my number? Heck if I know I never called it!
The Wayback Machine saved the day. Good thing I don't worry about my privacy!
http://web.archive.org/web/20170421201738/http://soggywizards.com/
I knew everything would check out, and Amit said it did so my my feelings towards net neutrality soured considerably. Shouldn't this fine, publicly-traded corporation be rewarded for its courteous and helpful tech support?
I began to hope he never receives that memo. I'll start sharing the right wing's posts from now on.
Amit asked to test my modem, which I was cool with. The test took two to three minutes.
"Can you verify that your Internet is working now?"
It wasn't.
But I used to be a network admin, and I know that things break, and as I told Amit, no one is at fault except for googling getting Portland to revise all its regulations to enable google fiber only to back right out.
So I started my usual troubleshooting.
That went very quickly when I realized my Wifi wasn't connected.
Oopsy. It always disconnects when I power off my AirPort Extreme.
Where is "Den Of Iniquity" in my Airport menu! Ah there it is.
I selected it.
... and promptly commenced receiving ping supplies.
Amit asked me to take a brief survey when we parted.
When asked whether I would recommend Comcast to others, I selected 10.
