Tired of seeing “Ask Siri” on every menu? Here's how to disable it.

In macOS 27, after enabling Siri AI, all context menus include a persistent “Ask Siri” context menu item. Turns out you can actually disable it without turning off Siri AI.

To disable, run the following commands in the Terminal app:

codes=(soft apwn exit loca lock logo rlgo rcnt rrst rest rsdn shut slep spro syss)
args=(-int 0)

// 3D Dom viewer, copy-paste this into your console to visualise the DOM as a stack of solid blocks.

  const SHOW_SIDES = false; // color sides of DOM nodes?
  const COLOR_SURFACE = true; // color tops of DOM nodes?
  const COLOR_RANDOM = false; // randomise color?

  const MAX_ROTATION = 180; // set to 360 to rotate all the way round
  const THICKNESS = 20; // thickness of layers
  const DISTANCE = 10000; // ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

• You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

• Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

Strings:

_NSCFString - a CFStringRef or CFMutableStringRef. This is the most common type of string object currently.
    - May have 8 bit (ASCII) or 16 bit (UTF-16) backing store
_NSCFConstantString - a compile time constant CFStringRef, like you'd get with @"foo"
    - May also be generated by dynamic string creation if matches a string in a pre-baked table of common strings called the StringROM
NSBigMutableString - an NSString backed by a CFStorage (https://github.com/opensource-apple/CF/blob/master/CFStorage.h) for faster handling of very large strings
NSCheapMutableString - a very limited NSMutableString that allows for zero-copy initialization. Used in NSFileManager for temporarily wrapping stack buffers.
