Hmmm... Smalltalk, a pure object-oriented language, stores everything in an image, and has tons of different browsers to inspect its "object soup". Install a Squeak Smalltalk if you're curious :-) Userland Frontier was a wond

Correct. But being open source and distributed under the GPL is not enough. RedHat or SuSE have a more indeterminate future due to their shareholders control, frequent changes of owners, distro licensing or source code availability. Debian,

Debian Stable and Fedora answer to different use cases. I wouldn't use Fedora on any production server.

AFAICT, this is *not* a "European Union's (EU) initiative for developing a new Linux distribution initiative". This is: - a "*Community-led Proof-of-Concept* for a free Operating System for the EU public sector" ( h

They did the popular Xserve, and the AWS before. They did A/UX, AIX (by IBM, of course), MkLinux and even Xenix (on the Lisa) way before OS/X. There was even a version of Netware for Mac. What they don't have anymore are the

Although I have a Parallel license, I'm mostly using UTM. I have Debian/Ubuntu, NixOS, SUSE, Windows 11 VMs all running natively on ARM.

On a Mac keyboard, you have two Command and Option keys. That means you can combine your (left|right) thumb on the Command key and a (left|right) finger on another <key>. Moreover, you can naturally use Ctrl-<keys> as a Control-

Moreover: on macOS Cmd [-Option][-Shift][-Ctrl]-<key> is always about a menu item/command shortcut; [Option][-Shift][-Ctrl]-<key> is always about a glyph.

Try Cmd-w (close), Cmd-X (Cut), Cmd-C (Copy), Cmd-V (Paste), Cmd-Z (Undo), Cmd-A (Select All), Cmd-Q (Quit) with your left thumb on Command and the left index on the other key. Try Cmd-P (Print), Cmd-, (Preferences) with your left thumb and

You should also give MacPorts a try. Its heritage is from BSD ports but, contrary to some reports, it's well alive, stable and kicking ;-)

+1 for Moom :-) As for iTerm2, I found its native tmux integration pretty unique.

I use dotfiles on both Linux and macOS. From the same repository :-)

VirtualBox is a x86_64 hypervisor. They already stated they wouldn't run on the M1.

UTM is a newcomer and still has rough edges but I managed to install Debian Buster with Gnome. Both in x86_64 (slow) and ARM64 (snappy :-) flavors.

This is a very bad security advice...

You should give MacPorts a try... MacPorts allows you to install multiple Python versions at the same time and I personally have several venvs with Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9... all running without a glitch.

I'm not a heavy spreadsheet user and I tend to use cross-platform applications but, quite frankly, Numbers works pretty well.

Yeah, I know... :-) I have to credit the PostgreSQL core developers, you know: people experts in DBMS developments %-) They talked about it on the mailing lists almost ten years ago and I was intrigued. Since then, I probably have bought ab

I recommend you the "Manga Guide to Databases" :-) It's a very, very good introduction to relational databases and SQL. https://www.amazon.com/Manga-Guide-Databases-ebook/dp/B007XL...
