Yeah, I forgot there’s the intermediate VM level, and user folders are shared there so that folders could be mounted to the individual containers using host paths.

My personal take is that the only way to be reasonably sure you're OK is to install as few apps as possible and then as few plugins as possible (and ideally stick to the bundled on…

I „love” such sandboxing defaults. Apps like Docker Desktop also share the whole home by default [1], which is pretty interesting if a big selling point is to keep stuff separated.…

I believe LS has some protections against this. Never tried them, but there are config related security options, incl. protection against synthetic events. So they definitely put s…

I treat LS as a privacy/anti-telemetry/anti-accident tool, not as anti malware. Obviously it can detect malware if there’s a connection to some weird site, but it’s more like a bon…

Ahh, this brings memories - back in the day GORILLAS.BAS was a perfect game, and also a mind blowing piece of code (for a kid, ofc)!

As a kid I had Atari 520ST(M) and GEM was like a… window to a magic world. It was so different from anything I had seen before (older Atari, ZX Spectrum, C64). Funny thing is that …

A few months ago there was a seemingly similar crash in Sonoma 15.4, on some M1s [1], and AFAIR it was fixed in 15.4.1 ~2 weeks later. [1] https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2560…

Safari is interesting. It's been separate, except for major macOS updates, which had it bundled. But if you had a newer Safari on an older macOS, and upgraded macOS to anything els…

Let me play devil's advocate for a second, because I feel it’s more nuanced. Pros: - [for users] 15.8.5 patches one high-profile bug. - [for Apple] minimal effort which translates …

Yes, I also have fond memories of quite a few TUI apps for DOS. Not sure if it’s pure nostalgia, it might be. But then it feels like dark magic that you could have 40kB .COM or 100…

Yeah, that's what I meant by hardening the existing stuff. It's very good they are doing it and we're all more secure thanks to that, but it’s not a caps-based system designed from…

Well put! But I think there's an interesting exception—APFS seems to be very reliable. It's been quite a few years since the very successful silent auto migration and it’s pretty q…

Ah OK, I see it now—I focused too much on the „magic syntax”. As for hooks, I guess I mentally treat them as magic that lives in its own lane, and so I've never really thought that…

I don't know much (if anything) about it, but it can be turned into an interesting thought experiment. Let’s use Apple as an example, as they tend to do major transitions on a regu…

It's not my experience, but then I have a „living” GEMINI.md doc where I add/clarify/tweak what to do and what not to do. And it's possible the initial revision already contained t…

I can imagine that some race condition slips into production, but what's hard for me to process is why it’s 5 or 6 years later and it’s still not fully fixed. I mean, even if you h…

I've found that LLMs help me find the boundary. First I ask a bunch of questions in a chaotic manner. I explore the topic, check references, etc. At some point the dots start to na…

I mean, your router is the single key to your kingdom—-your local network. If you don’t treat all your local devices as hostile (which is a reasonable thing to do but almost no one…

Re 1., based on [1] it seems that some data loss bugs are getting fixed. Asymptotically :) [1] https://mjtsai.com/blog/2019/10/11/mail-data-loss-in-macos-1...

Also things like: _('There are:') _('%d items', count=len(items)) —-which look correct until you want to translate them into a language with a different order of words in a sentenc…

My favorite reply is something like: „You’re The Real GOAT!!! And now let’s just quickly clarify some minor points”, followed by a complete destruction of my arguments :).

As a rookie with gray hair I completely agree :)

I can’t recall a single time where I would want to put JSX in an „if” statement.. In fact I can’t recall a single time where I would want to use JSX in a different context than the…

Yeah, well put tech wise (the ad personam part puts me off a bit, though). Personally I like hooks quite a lot, but e.g. I feel I have to check once a month or two if a memoized co…
