@aral @krzyzanowskim I bet you’re fun in escape rooms 😝

@drunknbass @krzyzanowskim Isn’t every room technically an escape room? Some are just harder to leave than others :P

@krzyzanowskim The oldest reference I found is this Pastebin from 2019: https://pastebin.com/bm3qiizz

It contains references to other flags, e.g.:

· NSLogUnusualAppConfig (documented at https://mjtsai.com/blog/2013/12/31/defaults-for-debugging/)
· NSConcurrentViewClasses and NSDebugConcurrentViewDrawing (probably documented in some AppKit release notes, https://spec-zone.ru/RU/OSX/releasenotes/AppKit/RN-AppKitOlderNotes/index.html)
· NSMightNeedToWorkAroundBadAdobeReleaseBug (https://twitter.com/chrisatlatenite/status/1214832204687134720)
· NSVisualEffectViewDefenestratorModeEnabled (?)
· most of https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/TextDefaultsBindings.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000468-610084

@krzyzanowskim Alt-text:

Screenshot of blog comment: I always pass -_NS_4445425547 YES when debugging from Xcode, which gives a nice extra menu item 🐞 with — among other goodies — a window that lists the current responder chain.

i don't know, but isn't putting an emoticon in alt-text counter-intuitive? not sure how screen readers and such work

@Haijo7 @krzyzanowskim They should just read it. Unless you’re using it for decoration or have loads of them it should be fine. Here it adds to the meaning/reflects the flavour of the original text.

@krzyzanowskim ah yes, I too like to debug with -debug enabled

0x44 = d
0x45 = e
0x42 = b
0x55 = u
0x47 = g
