This sounds like macOS (in a good way). Is the window really closed or just hidden?

What does that mean?
“S-Q-L ‘aight” for SQLite?
Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.
You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.
Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg
(especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).
Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.
Yeah that’s a whole other can of worms. I see this a lot at work where people are asking for direct database credentials and cringe every time.
Is it though? I haven’t used a framework since probably 2007 that doesn’t do this. There are the smaller, more DIY frameworks out there but I’ve never used them professionally.
Lately I’ve been dealing with tons of invalid byte sequences in MySQL dumps and it makes me question what the hell they’re allowing in there.
I’m mostly used to it now. Though -r
is supported in macOS’ rm
command I still prefer -R
and use it even on Linux where I believe -r
is the preferred argument.
Actually that’s a good point that I’ve completely forgotten. Docker uses the modern macOS APIs for virtualization these days, and uses Rosetta2 for amd64
containers.
Edit: Damn you’ve got me excited about FreeBSD again. I’m a much bigger fan of FreeBSD on bare metal but do love Docker and related Linux goodness!
Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.
It is now, but it was bash
before.
But in any case once you start doing anything remotely advanced you’ll find the individual command line utilities are wildly different between macOS and Linux. They seem (are?) much closer to FreeBSD than GNU utilities.
I’ve been doing web development for something like 20 years now and I just can’t imagine how shitty your backend is if this is an issue.
This is why I take a late lunch every day. Every standup I’m like “I’ll wrap up this small issue from yesterday, then move on to something bigger…”
Usually the “small issue” is finally done around 4 PM.
That’s interesting. I haven’t really used Windows since the XP days so I didn’t realize there was already some VM stuff going on to begin with.
I always wonder how Docker works on macOS with a more UNIX-style kernel than Linux when even FreeBSD gave up on the effort.
I understand macOS is way closer to Linux than Windows (despite its differences) but is it really that hard to do Docker/OCI out of Linux?
Why did they give up on the wine-like approach? That seems so much better than running an entire VM (not even a Microsoft person but still).
How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.
I use Linux utilities everyday on macOS as well as on my servers and networking equipment—I love it to death.
But when it comes to the end-user stuff, I’m deeply invested in Apple’s ecosystem. My personal laptop, work laptop, phone, Apple TV work pretty seamlessly together and I love that aspect of it.
What saddens me most is the drive away from native app development regardless of OS. Can’t stand Windows but if I’m using it I want the applications running on it to match Windows’ design language the same as I do on macOS (Linux GUI looks awful on macOS) and Linux (depending on desktop environment).
More related to Linux though, I do tend to lean more toward BSD UNIX than Linux, but due to the lack of containerization and popularity it’s hard to make it a daily OS.
I’m dying to do this but the clients for Matrix on iOS and macOS look like trash, they’re either web wrappers or have that creepy Windows look.
I really wish I had the time to study Swift and native app development.
As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.
Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.
