It's also never crashed on my old Mac Mini, which is my HTPC setup now. Windows hasn't crashed for me (or any of my friends or relatives for whom I'm their IT guy) since Vista came out. How much they crashed has varied a lot between setups. Since then, I've also had another desktop and a laptop running Win 7 and Win 8 (though enough coworkers use GDocs now that I've stopped using Windows at all).īoth Linux distros and all OS X versions (from Snow Leopard to Mavericks) have crashed countless times on me. I had two self-built machines running Linux, a laptop and a self-built machine running Win 7, and OS X running on a Mac Mini and later a MBA. I used Xubuntu or Fedora (dev), Windows 7 (Office), and OS X (XCode) for hours every day for years. I'd say LepriconSoft's UnicornOS is actually Windows 8.1, as strange/infuriating as that's going to sound to many HN readers. In 10.10, you'll see some newer, cleaner fonts and icons, that's it. There has always been the Special Screen with real estate taken by the menu bar, no matter how many screens you have, you drag the cursor back to that screen over and over. It treats multiple screens in a sensible way - finally addressing a weakness inherent in macs since '85. There are additional internal APIs for IOS tooling - good for the long term, nothing for now. The changes are updates to the on-board apps - none of which I use (message center? no. What should you expect? Look through Ars' list. It's hard to get to a repair center or genius place? Sorry for that too. If you have GPU panics, and you don't get your hardware fixed, you get what you deserve. I lost two weeks of productivity, because they failed to fix it the first time (it got worse). Go check out the big apple support log on the problem. Even though it's clearly a common problem, if not a design problem, something similar. I had terrible crashing problems - twice a day. But I would not be surprised to find that the relevant code here is many years old, possibly written in C, with no maintainers, and not having been touched in those many years, so there's probably little chance of it being fixed :/ And if you're going to say that the main thread should be able to simply indicate that it's still loading, and refresh the list when the load finishes, then I completely agree. It is rather unfortunate, since nothing I'm doing actually needs to see the recent documents list. my NAS waking up, the main thread ends up waiting on a semaphore. Normally the list would be loaded before the main thread goes to access it, but when the load is blocked by e.g. I haven't tried iCloud Drive, though that should not be related as, assuming it works anything like iDisk did, it would keep the drive local and sync changes back and forth, rather than doing direct network loading/saving.Īs for I/O, last time I checked, the Recent Documents list is actually being loaded on a background thread, but the main thread is where the UI for it has to be populated.
