Contacts #macOSTahoe is so broken. First, the new design sucks. You can no longer change widths between your contacts list & the contact details view.
Second, creating a new contact glitches out resulting in data loss. Here's a video of me trying to make a new contact TWICE; both times losing my data. It also flickers A LOT.
This is Microsoft-level software quality that I would have never expected from Apple. How do you mess up something as simple as contacts?
Guess I gotta fix this app too.

Iāve been reading (slowly) David Pogueās Apple: The First 50 Years, and really enjoying it. Iāve previously read quite a few books about Appleās history, but Pogue has put together something really special with this one.
Growing up, I hated Apple the way only an arrogant teenager could. Who in their right mind would buy an overpriced toy instead of a āreal computerā? Hereās how I switched to the Mac, and havenāt looked backā¦ despite some recent reservations.

NPM and other package repositories must learn from Linux distributions.
It is ridiculous that every week we are now reading about vulnerability that already ended up in the NPM package repository.
Linux distributions have mitigated this with for example having testing and stable branches. Packages stay few weeks at least in testing, before they go stable. This would have prevented many of the compromises alone.
Hijacked maintainer account used to publish poisoned axios releases including 1.14.1 and 0.30.4. The attacker injected a hidden dependency that drops a cross platform RAT. We are actively investigating and will update this post with a full technical analysis.
