I've recently come across a spectacular number of regressions on my M3 Max MacBook Pro, Sequoia as well as previous versions included. The most workflow breaking one (which really tempts me to throw the computer out of the closest window I can find in the room) is a Safari bug that basically randomly fails to open any website with a > Safari can't open the page. The error is: "The operation couldn't be completed. No…

Some other things that devs should know about Sequoia: - If you're sticking to Sonoma for stability, be aware Apple doesn't backport all security patches. Apple's release notes show 79 security issues fixed in Sequoia, and only 37 fixed in Sonoma 14.7. Maybe some vulns were only introduced in the Sequoia betas, but based on previous years, that's mostly not the case. Apple only keeps you safe on the latest version. -…

Not an Apple fan myself (don't touch the stuff at all) but my first thought there would be to check if the "missing" fixes are for things broken in the new release that don't need fixing in the prior one.

> still includes vulnerable years-old binaries

Are these stock builds, so definitely have the problems you are concerned about, or could there be security updates backported as Debian do with older versions in their stable release?

I promise, you will be just fine without the security updates.

This is probably misguided. Apple includes the OS version number in the user agent, so an attacker can actually pay to have code delivered only to users with vulnerable versions of MacOS. (advertising marketplaces allow bidding by user agent)

Are you thinking of a safari exploit that allows JavaScript to get out of the safari process? What’s the attack scenario?

Xcode's new autocomplete is pretty awful. It tries to be smart, but keeps hallucinating nonexistent API methods, and makes up stuff from my own codebase.

How can anyone come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to use imprecise generation on the go in the tool made to refer to specific already defined things?

Year 2024. Now we use more computing power to make computers remember things worse.

Isn’t this almost certainly a bug? I’m pretty sure the MacOS developers don’t really want to add a .s extension to files.

> Isn’t this almost certainly a bug? I’m pretty sure the MacOS developers don’t really want to add a .s extension to files. How is this passing QA? Did no one try to save a file during the whole beta?

File saving dialog doesn't have functionality for purchases or subscriptions, so it may have a lower priority in the eyes of upper management.

I’m seeing Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14_7). What do you think the 14_7 stands for on MacOS 14.7?

> Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7. This is on an M4 MacBook Pro running 15.0. So not correct.

Heya, I couldn’t find a way to contact you privately but I’d assume you want to delete your comment until (presumably) next month! Correct me if I’m wrong tho :)

Alternatively, a mod could help to edit it instead

I just pray they never fire whoever maintains the iTunes Classic Visualizer, that thing is a gem and it still gets updates sometimes.

Isn't iTunes already dead and replaced with music?

Up until recently it was still named the "iTunes Classic Visualizer" even though it was in Music.app. It's buried under Menubar > Window > Visualizer > Classic Visualizer now.

In the Save File As dialog of most Windows apps, you can enclose the filename in double-quotes to force it to not add an extension. I wonder if that will help with the issue in macOS?

No, macOS will just put quotes in the name. I just saved file from vscode as "testfile.sql", including the quotes, and wound up with a file named "testfile.sql".s.

That's a great way to drive someone insane.

1. Put some of the forbidden symbols in the file names of, let's say, a bunch of photos.

2. ZIP them

3. Send to someone who ordered those photos with Windows/Linux computer.

4. An hour later tell them that everything works on your computer and you don't see the problem. As a bonus you can film unpacking the zip file and saying: "You see, it works. There's something wrong with your computer".

I always have such a difficult time messing with packages on debian. On arch, there is a single PKGBUILD file, and it's basically the simplest thing anyone could think of which makes it bliss to work with. On the other hand, debian/rules is a complete mess, apt-get update is notoriously slow, and I have not had good experiences with dpkg-buildpackage compared to makepkg.

Really? I have had package manager failing experiences since I installed Arch. About 1-3 times per month yay will fail requiring me to use pacman to update. Once I run pacman I can run yay to update my AUR deps when the selling point of yay is that it’s a completely pacman-compatible interface. It’s package situation is so fuzzy though that the community actively encourages you to install multiple package managers. T…

Yes, there are some wrinkles in upgrading packages on Arch, like you said. I've had to manually install archlinux-keyring with pacman. Ive had to manually upgrade yay because a shared library it is dynamically linked to was upgraded. I've had to rm -rf my gpg cache due before.

But my post was primarily focusing on the experience of building / modifying packages. To elaborate just a bit more as an example, the Debian docs claim one can use this environment variable to control certain things when building a package.

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='nostrip noopt debug'

What they don't mention, is that these environment variable values are only enabled on a case-by-case basis for every package. Which means, you can't just expect to be able to easily rebuild an arbitrary package without cleaning first, i.e. doing an incremental build. You have to look at debian/rules, which is highly unstructured (unlike PKGBUILD), uses tons of DEB_ makefile variables which I have no understanding of.

It bonkers isnt it! Do none of Apple's developer team use any other editor at anytime other than XCode! How was this not picked up in beta testing!? Here's another gripe: The tiling feature maddens me! You cant disable it completely or remap the key bindings. Did anyone at Apple even test this using a full size Magic Keyboard? Using the FN key to move windows is fine when the key is down next to the Control key. Whic…

Are you sure you can't remap the keyboard shortcuts? I believe you can change them in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts

AFAICT You are able to remap the 'Globe' key to another key, say CAPSLOCK.

But you can't remap the key combinations assigned to the new Tiling feature!

I think they’re on the windows menu. If so, I believe you can. I’m staying away from Sequoia for awhile though, so I can’t test it.
