TIL that most (or all?) of the core of macOS is open source https://opensource.apple.com/releases/
GUI, apps like Finder (which is... kinda not that good anyway) is closed source
Finder: they are prob embarrased to release the source 😜
Never understood the Finder hate. Far better than anything on Window or Linux \:p
hmm well...
I do like most of Apple's products
Perhaps if it could just remember once and for all that I want Lists instead of any other View option...
That feature is known to be broken and has been for a long time. Additionally, the default search is... weird? I realize there's a plethora of search config options in there, but I never find what I actually need with the default ones.
Like this example:
I am looking for .cljc files, there's this Date Last Opened column (which seems to do nothing?) Also, what is admin-service.iml doing in there? Perhaps it has that string in the content? Perhaps that's a problem of trying to be "too smart" and indexing stuff inside files? I am not sure.
Now... once I start clicking... maybe I can get it to do what I need... That took a bunch of clicks and typing the same thing in another field.
There are "saved" searches that help, but it's extra effort... For finding things on the go, the defaults don't work for my purposes.
Fair enough the search is weird
The previews are really nice tho
Which preview? Via the Space bar key?
Yeah or to the right
There are even open-source projects built on darwin
but they faltered with the exception of Puredarwin
Puredarwin: very cool
Apparently, some quite low-level components like APFS, are still (sadly) closed source
A rare opportunity to give public #gratitude to someone you wish to recognise... Ask HN: Tell me about the best programmer you worked with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44928088

I'll start. A colleague would be politely suggesting designs or changes, but rolling with the punches when people disagreed. They were always proven right eventually, and it was usually because someone wandered into a module they had written and loved it.
They changed a lot about how I worked, and by far their main characteristics were patience with us and a sort of completeness to whatever they wrote. It just arrived, maybe with one small adjustment or bugfix, bug never with a rearchitecture or major refactor required."Proven right" is a very key part. "Someone wandered into a module they had written and loved it" is a bit vague, but I feel it also speaks to the ability of the people around to recognize and appreciate good work being performed.
A good team is where the good ideas win.
