Okay, I've tried this test on my MacBook Air 2020 several times, first by saving the "echo Hello" shell script in an editor and then, because I wasn't getting the results the author experienced, trying again exactly as he wrote it. Essentially the same result: airyote% echo $'#!/bin/sh\necho Hello' > /tmp/test.sh airyote% chmod a+x /tmp/test.sh airyote% time /tmp/test.sh && time /tmp/test.sh Hello /tmp/test.sh 0.00s…

Might want to look at Capture1 at this point.
The UI is way worse than either Aperture or Lightroom, but the editing is powerful, and you can download the full version for free if you have a Fuji or Sony camera, IIRC.
I've been forced to update to this pile of shit because latest iOS requires latest Xcode which in turn requires Catalina. It's a nightmare. First off the new apps (music, podcasts, etc) are terrible. They killed off iTunes but replaced it with much worse. These apps don't behave like standard macOS apps, the UI is full of inconsistencies and is just so empty. This website has nice examples of the failures of modern M…
Re: downloading Xcode, this page has saved me hours: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download... . It's just a list of direct links to each version of Xcode at apple.com. Mystery why Mac App Store downloads still can't be bulletproof after all these years.

What should the default nix store path have been then?
The obvious option would be /opt/nix, /usr/local/nix, or something to that effect. /nix is a clearly obviously bad choice, and now we're starting to see why.
/opt/local/nix is probably safe.

Because 10 years ago when I first started installing software from the command line on my mac, a large number of the packages I wanted to install were very outdated on MacPorts, and {CURRENT_VERSION} on homebrew. Also `brew cask` is nice. EDIT: also that Macbook had a 128GB HDD, so space was kinda precious, and MacPorts installing its own version of libs that were already on the system was literally taking up GBs of…
In addition to outdated ports, several times I had issues with macports mucking with or otherwise interfering with the system-bundled copies of things which was a real headache. Seems like the ideal setup would be something like Homebrew, except it "lives" in the ~/Library/Brews/ folder or something to that effect.

Happy MacPorts user of just over a year as well, for a variety of reasons I won't get into here but that being one of them.
Very satisfied MacPorts user since 16 years. I really don’t get why brew is a thing...
In our company many of us have similar issues. I have always loved OSX but this time it is driving me crazy. I though the issue was some sort of company antivirus/firewall, or it could even be a combination of that and this issue (maybe my vpn + path to company firewall is what magnifies the issue in this post). The thing is that some commands take 1 second, some others take 2 minutes or even more. Actually, some com…
> For example, I can run "terraform apply" and it could take up to 5 minutes to start, leaving my computer almost unusable until it runs. On a clean Catalina install this does not happen. Does “terraform version” have the same delay? If not, check your remote configuration - maybe run with TF_LOG=trace. Terraform Cloud will definitely highlight the inherent performance problems of using a VPN.

> IIRC there was no dedicated macOS “task force” like the one on iOS It's not surprising. Macs are less than 10% of Apple's revenue. https://www.macrumors.com/2020/04/30/apple-2q-2020-earnings/
Except all of Apple's other devices are built on macOS. Apple's clear de-prioritization of macOS based on revenue numbers is so insane I can barely believe it's happening. If developers, who use Macs in large numbers today, go to another platform, there's very real risk that their entire empire starts to come apart at the seams. And, this may just be me being naive, but it doesn't seem like that much work to keep mac…
And I'd wager that some iOS games are released without the developer ever touching XCode: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityCloudBuildiOS.html
