On macOS, we got a port of OpenBSD pf (probably not up to date though). I've been able to convert hosts files to OpenBSD pf format in, when was it, 2002? What you'd need to do is create an anchor. Perhaps there's a GUI for it as well for those who prefer. There's at least pfBlockerNG which basically does that for PfSense. [1] FWIW, all of this existed before Pi-Hole (or Raspberry Pi for that matter). IIRC there was also a converter script for hosts files to IPTables rules.

Is it possible to import such rules to Little Snitch? That's the go to firewall on macOS, though it is proprietary. There's also LuLu, a FOSS firewall for macOS. [2]

Now, from my memory, these block lists did cost quite some memory on a machine with 512 MB RAM. Even though it'd do dedup. What one could also do is build up a VPN with a remote server (in the cloud, or at home) and use say use WireGuard to have a secure connection while using a remote DNS on the VPN to get ads blocked.

It looks like windows can't copy some in-use files, and Linux can't copy some attributes.

Why not copy as many files as possible with windows, and then go to Linux to copy the last few?

What a pile of garbage.

First of all try to compile C code written for 8 bit and 16 bit 80's micros to see how well it has stood the time, without making use of hardware emulators, spoiler alert it won't even compile.

Then plenty of programming languages, some of them older than C, are doing great.

Anyone with enough money can enjoy NEWP on Unisys ClearPath, a systems programming language almost 10 years older than C.

Or for free one can enjoy Algol 68 programs in 2020, http://algol68.sourceforge.net/

Guess what, those languages took engineering seriously, unlike C.

"The first principle was security: The principle that every syntactically incorrect program should be rejected by the compiler and that every syntactically correct program should give a result or an error message that was predictable and comprehensible in terms of the source language program itself. Thus no core dumps should ever be necessary. It was logically impossible for any source language program to cause the computer to run wild, either at compile time or at run time. A consequence of this principle is that every occurrence of every subscript of every subscripted variable was on every occasion checked at run time against both the upper and the lower declared bounds of the array. Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary pre- cautions would have long been against the law."

Still disappointed how Azure Sphere can sell its security story, while offering only C as programming language, so...

Even C++, with its copy-paste C89 compatibility, is already better than writing plain old C. And guess what, the language is 40 years old now.

I use several tabs and histories override each other, meaning I could never count on a command being present in the history. I’ve always been told an experienced dev has a folder with txt notes, so that is what I did.
FWIW, my American experience tracks well with yours. Yeah, middle school was difficult, but that's because being a kid going through puberty is pretty difficult across the board, I'd expect.

I don't at all doubt that others had bad experiences, and I sympathize with them. But also "if it bleeds it leads" follows in online comments (especially on places like Reddit, which I often find to be rather negative). You aren't hearing the people who just think, "yeah, middle school was okay."

If you want to write a random program that you don't plan to support but want to remain usable, Java is your best bet.

I've on multiple occasions recently used really random Java GUIs that are from the 2000s (Melee related). It sometimes took some finagling (iirc I had to use Java 8 or something .. luckily it was just a nix-shell away!)

This, to me, is what separates Woz from Jobs. One of my many qualms with Apple is their ability to create industry-defining technologies, and give little back in return. I'm all for businesses profiting, but imagine all the good Apple could do if it still maintained this mantra today.

I don't share the same negativity towards Go, in spite of disliking some of its design decisions.

TinyGO, TamaGO, Android's GAPID, Fuchsia's TCP/IP stack, gVisor, are all good examples that Go has a place on C's domain, when one is willing to invest the resources (time and money) into making it happen.

Using Ada wouldn't be that bad actually. :)

As for Rust, now with Google using it on Fuchsia and Microsoft doing internal Rust summits, lets see how it evolves. Both companies are quite big into ISO C++.
But the reality is that, anyone who knows anything about modern (post 2004 era) software can only laugh right back at them, whether they're laughing with you, at you, whether they're being snobby, pretentious or otherwise.
I think there's a lot of information sleeping in depositories only on paper. The thing is people are busy with the urgent stuff and stay away from the important if they can't get something immediate from it.

I've used extensively Google Books for research of 17th century Mathematics (not just me, also the whole department were I was at that point). I couldn't have afforded to visit all the libraries to look up the originals but thanks to this repository I could download several copies of obscure works, which gives your very interesting insights: sometimes you hit a personal copy of a previous researcher, or there's an ex-libris from an old institution that you know your author was connected to, or you just discover something no one had noticed before simply with a clever string search. You can even backtrack to the forgotten true primary source of a mistakenly repeated fact for instance. It's been a blessing, honestly.

If you are into whatever not too transited alley of history, you realise soon that your (former?) company has produced a treasure trove for future generations that just shouldn't be shut down ever: there are many books there not digitized anywhere else. So thank you very, very much for your work there. It definitely belongs to the important.

FIY, in Italy the Italian strike is called “white strike” (“sciopero bianco”). No idea about the origin of this name.

I’ve put off upgrading until (at least) the Mail issues are fixed. I have zero trust that Apple is even prioritizing those kinds of fixes, and simply can’t risk the disruption of having my machine not work in some subtly critical way.

Clojure is functional to the core, is built on its own seq abstraction rather than cons cells, and uses persistent immutable data structures for everything. It's not at all the same language as Common Lisp.
Did Ada - or rather its proponents - make any effort to get people to learn it? If I google for "Ada programming language" I do not even find what could be an official site? I thought it could be adacore.com, but that's a commercial offering. Wiki tells me it could also be adaic.org, which errors out with "SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION" in current Firefox. Even if I could access the site: Would I find tutorials? Other supporting material? Explanations why I should use Ada?

If you want people to use your language you have a to put in work. Even more for a language with the reputation of Ada (the sibling comment by pjmlp gives a good overview).
Except, check the language reference for FreePascal and Go, regarding language features.

And Go still doesn't have anything comparable to Lazarus, which isn't as feature rich as Delphi/RemObjects.

In theory, we are asymptotically approaching a stable set of programming languages - a constellation of local-optimums. When something comes along with a different name and new syntax and cleans up some semantics, it's called a new language, but that's missing the point - the intent of the programming environment it provides remains similar. And then writing code in it is no real issue.

What ties us down to old languages is the whole environment - it is Joe Armstrong's "to give a gorilla a banana you must pick up the entire jungle" run rife through our production systems. Because our code increasingly depends on globally-sourced libraries, we tend towards copying around the entire planet and so there are layers of accretion all over.

And yet emulators do exist and run software successfully. The trick there is that they have a terrarium of sorts: a boundary that limits the ecosystem. The explosions that obsolete software tend to occur where a terrarium was not planned for by the original authors, rather continuous dependence on an evolving ecosystem was taken for granted.
Here is something that I can gladly agree with you.
Sure, I grant that these may not be forthcoming and obvious developments to everyone, and that you may need to "fill in the blanks" for many when it comes to atomic energy (a jet engine is not a complex machine, however; it is a precision machine). But my comment is more about how much we underestimate the state of the world that came before us and our historical forebears, and the ability of otherwise open-minded, educated people to adapt to new ideas and work with black box abstractions. These ideas would be for example far from a caveman looking at a nuclear submarine (or Bob Lazar looking at a UFO heh).

Mostly OK, but I'm caught pretty badly with the 16" automatic graphics switching bug - whenever I try scrolling on browsers it tries to engage the discrete GPU, which freezes the screen for a few seconds. Had to disable auto switching, and it hasn't been fixed in the latest update. I expect this will be fixed on the next Intel driver update.

Other than that, things are fine. Not annoyed by the security, and Apple is clear that they're doing the security and privacy warnings across all platforms (same deal with iOS contacts and locations), so I do appreciate knowing exactly what each app is accessing.
Nice. Does this also support templated files like cookiecutter? If not, I guess one can always call cookiecutter from this...
Catalina works well for me, installed in November 2019 on a new machine. I keep an install of Mojave for software compatibility reasons. I believe it’s just in a separate APFS container, the setup described in an Apple’s guide.

There were initially some issues with excess resource use by some system process relating to text input, fans spinning and all. This seems to be gone for a while now.

Two-screen setup with Sidecar is worth it!
Some other commenters have offered really good replies, but I’d like to reiterate the sentiment that most major (American) news outlets have heavily prioritized ad revenue and television ratings over their public duty to inform the people.

These days, I get most of my headlines from Reuters and AP. I also respect The Economist, Propublica, FiveThirtyEight, Washington Post, The Intercept, Miami Herald, Buzzfeed News, and New York Times. Of course, some more than others, but it seems that the quality of the journalism emerging from these outlets is relying more on the integrity of individual journalists with great track records as opposed to great teams (think Spotlight).

I’m sure just about every commenter here who follows the news knows of at least one article that tarnished the reputation of each of those outlets at some point in time. Maybe it was a low-effort payila piece, or a poorly written opinion column, or just straightup poor journalism that never got a retraction.
Although true kali Linux is bot general and has a bunch of "hacking" tools on it, how many people who will read this will know the difference? I could see many people seeing this and conflating it with Linux as a whole unfortunately...
Very difficult to know if it is going to apply to one's own system.

With updates apparently sometimes crashing after being only partially applied, even the most diligent research into application-specific "will I be able to run XYZ after upgrading" might not be able to save you from having to reinstall from scratch.

This is the kind of low-quality handling of software updates that I never imagined coming from Apple.

I upgraded when it came out, had no issues, and only a few prompts. Because the machine was entirely new to me anyway (inherited MBP2016), I couldn't imagine having anything to lose. But on my older machine? Still have not upgraded. Don't see a reason to, until they've ensured higher quality.
Like what ? A software i develop needs to hide and move the mouse cursor at some point (To create an infinite zoom effect in a timeline as is common in media software). If the user clicks on "no" by reflex on the security popup when they first click on the scrollbar, a very very basic functionality of the software won't work and people won't have any idea why - best case is i get bug reports (and I got a few), worst case is bad press about shipping broken software. How would anything improve security here.
Similar experience. Switching from bash to zsh was probably the most disruptive part of it.
> Nuanced reporting exists on essentially every topic that it is possible to care about, but it is often in smaller paid publications.

Earlier this week I spoke to someone who wanted me to subscribe to a left-wing newspaper (klassekampen for the Norwegians here). I said my media budget was full - for now - but I'd like to add them - together with one from the other side at a later stage.

Then she says: that's not unusual, a good number of our readers also read resett (right wing web site that I usually don't read.)

That surprised me a bit, and in a good way.

Edit to add: I'd of course be equally happy to know if many right-leaning people read left-leaning news, and I've no reason to believe it is different.

I have a 2013 MacBook that is my main work computer when not at home on my desktop workstation.

Years ago I learned to disable automatic system updates and to stay 1 major OS version behind. Let the enthusiasts, fanboys and early adopter pawns work out all the bugs in the current OS X version, install it only when the next version nears or launches.
Progress like you describe is incremental not revolutionary.
I agree that 1880-1915 was certainly a period of radical change, but aviation in 1915 was way less mature than you are suggesting, and would not become so for several decades.

The SPT Airboat Line [1] was the closest to an airline in the US at the time. It operated 20 mile flights across Tampa bay for 6 months in 1914 before ceasing operations.

Flying from NY to LA was not happening on any regular basis, and took much more than a couple of hours. The first transcontinental flight in 1911 [2] took 80+ flight hours over more than a month. Fast forward to 1933, transcontinental passenger flights took 20+ hours [3]. Nonstops finally became available in the late 40s and early 50s.

One shouldn't have been running the bash that came with MacOS anyway. It was a decade out of date.

You can still install your own bash now, or even continue to run the old, obsolete version. But yes, it won't be the default.

Stability wise it's been fine but it still has a few dumb bugs like Finder not letting me add smb shares to the sidebar (but afp shares work fine) and some UI bugs such as additional separator bars in context menus if you set Recent items to None.

Nothing terrible but lacking in some Apple polish.

The access prompts were a little annoying for the first two days but once everything has run and requested access it's fine. A few apps I have had to specifically give Full Disk Access as it seems every update it asks again and again and again.

But like you said stability is as solid as Mojave. However I don't use any legacy 32bit apps or extensions so haven't run into issues with regards to that. I feel most of the complaints I read are related to some old 32bit app which no longer works.
I think one reason geeks have trouble seeing the progress stall is we spend a lot of time in the magical world of computing, where progress has been wonderful, and little time working in the world of physics and engineering.
