Still wishing for the day apple is split into the hardware and the software company. I want their silicon, but I will never use their (arguably terrible) operating system. If I can't run my own kernel and kernel modules then it's a device that I don't own. Firmware is alright in some cases, but my laptop next to me is running core boot just to prove a point.

macOS is not perfect but I don't think anyone could seriously argue that it is terrible.

It’s pretty bad. IPC doesn’t work reliably any more. The window manager is unusable. Spotlight misses results and also pegs the cpu, killing battery.

Finder is bad enough on its own, but the 1:N mapping from logical directories to filesystem directories (like photos, home, applications, etc) makes it essentially unusable without spotlight.

Notifications are flaky as hell (missing phone calls and messages from contacts, but displaying explicitly blocked spam sms).

Copy paste between devices has never worked right.

Which part of the OS is not terrible in your experience?

Edit: also, compatibility with video games (even ones released for macos) is abysmal. It’s much worse than Linux’s ability to run the Windows version of MacOS native releases!

There's a reason macOS is the least-used OS behind Linux and Windows. If it was any less terrible, we would know.

Source? [1] states 12% for macOS and 3% for Linux. [1]: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide...

That's desktop market share. I'm sure the comment you're replying to means overall usage including mobile and server, where Linux is far and away the leader.

Using LLMs for any kind of writing is unethical, with the narrow exception of translation. If you didn't take the time to compose your words thoughtfully then you aren't owed the time to read them.

Agreed, which is why I didn't bother reading this comment before downvoting it. If you think that you were owed some other behavior from me despite not paying me for it, feel free to elaborate; for example, you could acknowledge that there exists an implicit social contract when it comes to basic human communication.

we have dev.our-root-domain.com in public DNS pointing to 127.0.0.1

I've run into resolvers that filter things like that to prevent dns rebinding attacks. And localhost (the hostname) does not work for CORS. Best option is probably to set dev.our-root-domain.com in /etc/hosts [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding

Haven't had an issue yet, with a team scattered across US, Canada and UK. I'm sure it's possible - but so far we've been using this for about 3 years with no hiccups.

I disagree, because those aren't their words.

Do we care about words or thoughts? Many folks are more interested in semantic meaning than character sequences. To each their own of course.

One problem I see with the broader use of LLMs these days is the death of literacy.

For example, you chose to read my response and attack the vocabulary as if that was the point I was trying to make. This is a misunderstanding. I am purposefully reusing the word choice of the comment I'm replying to.

I was trying to very concisely point out that if an LLM is generating your writing it is not your words or your thoughts that you're trying to communicate.

I am genuinely curious if you are trolling, or putting that forward as a genuine argument? Trivially, it's the difference between medium, and message/content. On one axis, whether message is spoken, written via pen or typewriter or word processor, sent electronically, faxed,mailed, etc - it is fundamentally a communication from one human being to another, even if medium / mechanics differ. The other axis is actual co…

Another funny thing about Mac networking. There's a game I play (Old School Runescape) that does network ticks every .6s. Mac does some sort of aggressive optimization on the network hardware/software, so network this infrequent doesn't keep the layers "hot", and you end up getting delayed ticks regularly, meaning you learn what should be happening in the game .2-.5s late. This optimization for (I assume) battery lif…

That sounds like the timer coalescing feature introduced in OS X 10.9 I think.
