Having just reinstalled OS X EL Capitan from fresh on a new SSD, I looked around for a while for the trackpad 3-finger drag. For whatever reason it’s no longer in the Trackpad settings, but it’s in Accessibility. Details here.
Creating an OS X El Capitan install flash drive
Format the USB Flash Drive using Disk Utils:

The volume name in the next step is /Volumes/name-you-gave-the-volume-in-the-first-step.
Copy install files to the Flash Drive using createinstallmedia:
To boot from the flash drive, reboot your Mac holding down the Option key and the choose the icon for the flash drive.
Public Beta for Native Docker app for Mac OS X
Downloaded the public beta of the native Docker engine for Mac OS X – easy install and it’s up and running pretty quick. Docker commands from the terminal without a VirtualBox boot2docker Linux, and no more docker-machine? Seems to work just as you’d expect, and seems pretty snappy too.
Weblogic Portal 10.3.6 generic installer on Mac OS X – Insufficient Disk Space error
Trying to use the portal103_generic.jar installer on Mac OS X 10.11.1 gives this error even though you have plenty of free space:
A quick Google turns up this question and answer. Quick fix, run passing this option: -Dos.name=unix, so:
java -Dos.name=unix -jar portal103_generic.jar
Although others reported this avoided the issue, I then got this issue instead:
Exception in thread "chmodFile" java.lang.Error: Unix is not a supported OS platform.
at java.lang.UNIXProcess$Platform.get(UNIXProcess.java:164)
Following additional suggestion here, using -Dspace.detection=false instead avoided the issue.
