it’s harder than you might think, and i haven’t found a perfect solution, but i’m pretty close.
in eclipse, likely because of swt’s use of jni to use os-native forms, you can simply set an application-specific anti-aliasing threshold for the application:
defaults write org.eclipse.eclipse AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 20
and this more or less works (thanks to tim for pointing this out here), but with netbeans, no joy.
our buddy netbeans uses swing, which doesn’t look at application property plists. since apple rolls their own ui elements for swing/awt on osx (best of my knowledge), we’re in strange waters, as well. there’s a hackier way to do this, documented here on the netbeans forums for netbeans 6.5, and involves appending the following flags to netbeans_default_options in the netbeans.conf file inside the netbeans application bundle- that’s .../NetBeans\ 6.7.1.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf
-J-Dswing.aatext=false -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=false
and this works fine and dandy, if you’re using the standard “Monospace” font.

However, this fails miserably if you’re using something else, like profont or (my pick) pragmata. in that case, at least if you’re on 10.6, you get a mess that looks like this:

note that fonts are being drawn on top of each other. selecting text and moving the cursor around makes for an even bigger mess.
i’ve noticed that apple’s release notes contain a note saying that the swing.aatext system property was ignored in apple’s first release of java6 on osx, so my guess is that either they didn’t get it quite right, or that netbeans is getting rendered glyph sizes wrong. my money is on this being an apple screwup, as it works great with the default monospaced font, but this is also me talking out my ass as i haven’t bothered even looking at how this works in another swing application.
this is the point where i give up and admit that i’m spending more time than i should on getting my special font working. if anyone else has any clues past this point, i’m all ears!

I forget how to do this all the time, so I’m sticking the command here.
$ sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app\
/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users admin \
-privs -all -restart -agent -menu
will enable screen sharing for all admin users. More specific options are available from the kickstart command’s -help option.

so
a dude made a post about how he’s moving to sf from nyc, and mentions how nyc is dirty and sf is relatively clean. for the most part there is nothing here to argue about- nyc smells like fritos and hot garbage in the summer, from what i’ve experienced. maybe the mask of garbage covers it up, but best i can tell, nyc doesn’t have nearly as much street pooping as san francisco. flickr provides the examples.

WARNING- poop below the cut)

There is a way to force Safari to live with one window only- Apple has, true to form, hidden this functionality away in hidden preferences. Run the following in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
..and Safari will no longer create new windows unless you ask it to. (via eNik)

Apple’s default X11 key mapping causes trouble when using virt-manager on the local X server. For reasons unknown to me, Apple maps the option/alt key to Mode_switch, meaning that when virt-manager grabs the cursor, it’ll never let go, as there’s no way of sending Ctrl+Alt to it- apparently it works explicitly off of keysyms instead of mod maps. It’s been long enough since I’ve dealt with X11 configuration issues that I had to do a little hunting to figure things out, so I figured I’d throw my solution up here.
On the machine where you’ll be running your X server (your mac), stick this in ~/.Xmodmap-
clear Mod1
keycode 66 = Alt_L
keycode 69 = Alt_R
add Mod1 = Alt_L
add Mod1 = Alt_R
This will make the control keys on your keyboard emit (I think) more sensible events, while keeping Mod1 in the same place. Finally, no more restarting X11 when you want to break free of virt-manager.

Normally, when using Red Hat’s tools (which like everyone else Sun has ripped off wholesale) this is exposed in virt-manager and virsh, but the versions that Sun has brought over from Redhat lag quite a bit behind upstream, so you have to dig in below the convenience tools. Shut down your guest, then use xm list -l to dump the xen config file. There’s a on_xend_start property in here- change it from ignore to start, then dump it back into xen with xm new -F .sxp.
All at once:
pfexec xm list -l > guest.sxp
sed -i 's/on_xend_start ignore/on_xend_start start/' guest.sxp
pfexec xm new -F guest.sxp
..and you’ve got a domain that’ll auto-start when xend is brought up, which is pretty much what I usually want.

Sun is an incredibly frustrating company. A number of the new features introduced in Solaris 10 are very excellent, but I find all the Solaris userland a huge shitpile compared to my familiar GNU tools. Furthermore, the documentation for the aforementioned excellent features is pretty lacking at times, meaning a lazy dude like me gets little use out of them. However, I just finally stumbled into SMF, and I am now a fan.
I wanted to move a few of the programs I run into SMF, one of the aforementioned awesome features. Â SMF is Sun’s replacement init process, which takes a more active approach to services than the traditional “tell it to start and hope it does.” It, and all the other new init replacements borrow a good bit from djb’s daemontools, which everyone seems to be realizing, ten years later, is actually a good idea.
SMF provides two primary benefits over traditional init script methods, in my mind, the first of which is process supervision. Process supervision means that when your app crashes, you don’t have to rely on monitoring scripts (or other people) to notice it’s gone, SMF notices immediately and attempts to restart the process. If it won’t stay started after a few tries, it’ll stop and switch the process to maintenance mode, meaning you get to fix it.
The second is its ability to break out instances of an application by essentially subclassing the main “default” instance and redefining configuration variables, such as which config file to read, where to keep the database, etc. This means you can, with a few commands, bring up another instance of apache for testing, or maybe a number of mongrels serving different apps, from the generic service definition.
Sun has a pretty good how-to online dealing with postgresql, which is helpful, but leaves out a few chunks. SMF expects you to provide it with start and stop methods, which is helpful if you just want to move a legacy service over to SMF, but some applications are simpler than that and work fine by just running them and sending them a kill signal when they need to go away. In this case, you can just give the command to launch the daemon as the start method, and fill the stop method with :kill. This will instruct SMF to send a kill signal to the process and children executed by the start method. Incidentially, if the app reloads configuration when sent -HUP, you can fill in :kill -HUP as the refresh method. This isn’t explicitly spelled out in any documentation I’ve read, but it’s used in a few places in the manifests that ship with Solaris.
Below is a manifest I whipped up for mt-daapd, which scans and shares out all of my spiffy tunes so itunes can play ‘em.

</service>
</service_bundle>
I run two instances of this app- one which shares out the music that i’ve sorted and tagged properly, and then another one that shares out stuff that’s just arrived into torrent directories or the like. Ignore the ridiculous location I’ve installed this app to and note the property group and properties. I’ve got two config files, one describing one configuration, and another describing the other. I can make the second instance from the first with the following commands:
svccfg -s network/mt-daapd add incoming
svccfg -s network/mt-daapd:incoming setprop config/conffile = astring: /export/home/pjjw/opt/pkgs/mt-daapd/etc/incoming.conf
..and there it is, a new instance of the server.
[00:28:05][pjjw@push:~]$ svcs mt-daapd
STATE STIME FMRI
online Oct_17 svc:/network/mt-daapd:incoming
online Oct_17 svc:/network/mt-daapd:default
I’d actually just been running this in screen for about 6 months and restarting it when it crashed. This is much nicer now.

Recently I shot myself in the foot pretty bad. We have a ~12TB data array that was set up as a raw LVM2 device- no partition table. There were some issues with one of the cluster members, so I went to rescue boot to attempt to correct it. Redhat’s rescue boot, in the name of spreading democracy, proactively offers to put a partition table on anything that doesn’t have one already, and I fat-fingered the key that made this happen right over the top of our array. Whoops.
This isn’t impossible to recover from- the only thing that got overwritten was, for the most part, LVM data, and it so happens that the boundaries of the volumes is more or less known (25% each), so recovery should be possible just by re-writing correct (or near-correct) headers setting the boundaries in the right spot. Problem with this approach is that you get one shot, and it’s not like we have another 12TB sitting around that we can copy the data to. Here’s where dm-mapper came in to save my ass.

From man python on OS X 10.5 (and probably before):
INTERACTIVE INPUT EDITING AND HISTORY SUBSTITUTION
The Python inteterpreter supports editing of the current input line and
history substitution, similar to facilities found in the Korn shell and
the GNU Bash shell. However, rather than being implemented using the
GNU Readline library, this Python interpreter uses the BSD EditLine
library editline(3) with a GNU Readline emulation layer.
The readline module provides the access to the EditLine library, but
there are a few major differences compared to a traditional implementa-
tion using the Readline library. The command language used in the
preference files is that of EditLine, as described in editrc(5) and not
that used by the Readline library. This also means that the
parse_and_bind() routines uses EditLine commands. And the preference
file itself is ~/.editrc instead of ~/.inputrc.
For example, the rlcompleter module, which defines a completion func-
tion for the readline modules, works correctly with the EditLine
libraries, but needs to be initialized somewhat differently:
import rlcompleter
import readline
readline.parse_and_bind ("bind ^I rl_complete")
For vi mode, one needs:
readline.parse_and_bind ("bind -v")
Well, that explains why Python doesn’t play nice with my readline stuff.
