Linked by one HN commenter as the source for an explanation of why macOS 10.12.4 Night Shift behaved as it did, namely a whitelist of allowed version numbers. The blog covers macOS internals.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Great people share their wisdom without asking for anything in return…
