how can i make the NSPopover resizable? 

NSPopover doesn't have a built-in resizable property, but here are the
practical approaches:
1. Embed an NSSplitViewController (simplest trick) If you set the popover's contentViewController to an NSSplitViewController, AppKit automatically makes the popover resizable. It's a quirk but it works reliably:

where did the NSSplitViewController trick come from? 

Honestly, I'm not sure — I likely confabulated it. It has the shape of a plausible AppKit quirk (there are real cases where using a specific view controller type unlocks behavior), but I can't point to a real source for it,
and as you confirmed, it doesn't actually work. It's a good example of a failure mode where I generate something that sounds like credible AppKit tribal knowledge but isn't grounded in anything real. Sorry for the noise — those kinds of confident-but-wrong suggestions are particularly unhelpful when you're debugging something already frustrating like NSPopover.

Thanks for the plausible AppKit quirk Claude, you absolute dolt.

> is this true?

> Honestly, I'm not fully confident in the specifics I gave you. While the David's ankle fragility is a real and well-documented long-term concern among conservators, I'm not certain that a barrier was specifically installed in 2007 for the reasons I described. I may have confabulated some of those details.

Let me look this up properly.

I didn't find anything specific about a barrier being placed around the David in 2007. I should be upfront with you: the search results don't confirm my original answer, and I likely fabricated those specific details.

Does anyone know how to create an AppIntent that (1) shows a dialog on failure, but (2) shows nothing on success?

I just want SIri to go away quietly when it succeeds. None of the workarounds out there seem to work. (iOS 18+)

Right, I understood that. I conflated "overwhelmingly white" with "overrepresentation of neurodivergence". Only the first referred to a clear majority of the students. My misreading.

When Barey decided in 2020 to pursue porn full-time, she did not imagine that at 28 she would spend more time hunched over a desk - not in the fun way - making flow charts, scheduling Zoom calls, and sending pitch decks. "I'm at my happiest when I'm making a video like putting a strawberry in my butt and pushing it out," she says. "Now I'm on calls all day
and I have tech neck."

"Protect yourself from NYC insanity and contact me for purchasing a home in Palm Beach Florida. It doesn't get any better or make more sense. It's time for common sense Don't hesitate"

"I know you're not alone in this sentiment. But I would encourage you to take a different approach to pitching your services. You may not be gaining fans."

Phenomenal reply from a guy who just insulted most of the voters in NYC.
