<p>Right, a PR is "just" a set of commits (all must be in the same branch) that are intended to land atomically.<p>Stacked PRs are not breaking up a set of commits into divisible units. Like you said, you can already do that yourself. They let you continue to work off of a PR  as your new base. This lets you continue to iterate asynchronously to a review of the earlier PRs, and build on top of them.<p>You often, very often, need to stage your work into reviewer-consumable units. Those units are the stack.</p>

<p>You "just" need to know the original merge-base of PR B to fix this. github support is not really required for that. To me that's the least valuable part of support for stacked PRs since that is already doable yourself.<p>The github UI may change the target to main but your local working branch doesn't, and that's where you `rebase --onto` to fix it, before push to origin.<p>It's appropriate for github to automatically change the target branch, because you want the diff in the ui to be representative. IIRC gitlab does a much better job of this but this is already achievable.<p>What is actually useful with natively supported stacks is if you can land the entire stack together and only do 1 CI/actions run. I didn't read the announcement to see if it does that. You typically can't do that even if you merge PR B,C,D first because each merge would normally trigger CI.<p>EDIT: i see from another comment (apparently from a github person) that the feature does in fact let you land the entire stack and only needs 1 CI run. wunderbar!</p>

<p>TFA doesn't say -- does anyone know if this applies to 5k and 6k monitors? On my 5k display on a M4 Max, I see the default resolution in system settings is 2560x1440. Which is what I'd expect.<p>If the theory about framebuffer pre-allocation strategy is to hold any water, I would think that 5k and 6k devices would suffer too, maybe even more. Given that you can attach 2x 5k monitors, the pre-allocation strategy as described would need to account for that.</p>

Windows subpixel aliasing (Clear Type) manages a lot better with lower pixel density. Since Windows still has a commanding market share in enterprise, you might be right about the industry standard for HiDPI but for Apple-specific usage, not really.</p>

<p>no, but many apps can independently use a different Apple (nee iCloud) Account specifically for that app.<p>that said, you can create multiple users per macOS device, and each can have a different Apple Account. that's a nightmare, because some significant areas of device management assume a single Apple Account. So for example you can use a 2nd account to get around Activation Lock in some cases.</p>

<p>I'd find this more compelling if you looked at a few thousand Vanta or Drata reports grouped by auditor. You're going to find the same commonalities with only trivial language differences.<p>SOC2 reports are private between you and the auditor (that way if you "fail" you can just find another auditor or have a re-do, and no one is the wiser), and basically always gated behind a sales touchpoint (another hint about what utility they provide). I guess the Delve ones leaked which is why they can all be compared.<p>220 out of 494 "no exceptions" seems quite high to me. Nobody I've ever dealt with allows an exception to make its way into the report.</p>
