I remembered today I had Haskell for Mac http://haskellformac.com installed and started it after a long time. It hasn't been updated in ca. 5 years and is Intel/Rosetta only. The website doesn't have SSL, the support website http://support.hfm.io doesn't exist anymore. So it's probably abandoned. It's still in the App Store, though.

Anyone still using it, or know if it's maintained? And what do you use to play around with Haskell on a Mac these days?

“macOS Golden Gate is a buggy mess”

In June 2008 Apple announced Mac OS X Snow Leopard, proudly boasting that it would have "no new features". Instead of piling on new things, Snow Leopard aimed to build on the success of its predecessor, Leopard, opting to focus on under-the-hood performance and stability improvements throughout the system.

18 years later, Apple is taking a similar approach with

@nixCraft This is what happens when you don't have a micro-manager at #Apple anymore who likes sweating the details. Didn't they recently terminate a guy who worked on a lot of plumbing and quality of life features of #macOS?

I may have made a _very_ expensive impulse buy... merry early Xmas to myself I guess 😅

Crazy story though, this Rocket popped up on eBay this morning, I saw it was from a Canadian seller and so I decided to spring for it. The seller messaged me 5 minutes later, turns out he lives two blocks away from me… I didn't even notice the city when I bought it 🤣 So…he just walked it over, and now I have a Radius Rocket for my IIfx!

(and yes, I have a massive and ever-growing #retrocomputing project backlog to get through, but this immediately gets bumped to the top of the list!)

Yesterday I read about @brentsimmons's design explorations on his NetNewsWire app.
It reminded me of my own explorations with the macOS design language, especially the modern title/toolbar which I believe is one of the most foundational design regression on the platform.
I played with the idea of redesigning the Finder with the original hierarchy but keeping the current Liquid Glass styling. Though it's still far from what I'd like to see on my Mac, I thought I'd share.

I'm happy to report that MacOS 27 Golden Gate seems to run stable 24/7 on my Mac Mini M4 server. However there's not a lot installed on there.

I have decided not to upgrade my production machine YET. There's limited information available about audio plugin compatibility. Moreover Ableton Live doesn't seem to be officially supported yet.
Adobe Lightroom Classic/CS seem to have contrasting user experiences.

Caveat: if you are updating to #macOS 27 there is this lovely fscking Apple Stupidity "feature" which starts quantising *all your disk* so that Spotlight can give you "better answers".

It has been going for over 24hrs for me and it is at 7.1% … the I/O is floored and you simply cannot run any I/O intensive tasks (e.g. Parallels).

To find out the state of affairs you can use:

plutil -extract SpotlightKnowledgeV2.embeddingGenComplete raw ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlightknowledge.plist | awk '{printf "%.1f%%\n", $1 * 100}'

Whoever at #Apple thought this is up is a complete and utter cretin, especially because it is clearly running with a high priority and takes over all disk I/O.

I still have not found a way to stop it so I can actually do some work.

Update: figured out a fix… note that it blocks Apple Stupidity as a side-effect:

UID=$(id -u)
# Disable Apple Intelligence search daemons
launchctl disable gui/$UID/com.apple.assistantd
launchctl disable gui/$UID/com.apple.assistant_service
launchctl disable gui/$UID/com.apple.assistant_cdmd

# Stop the running hybridsearchd process immediately

sudo pkill -9 hybridsearchd 2>/dev/null || true

First day with #macOS 27 and #iOS 27:

- the iPhone is smoother and quicker, but today I've had a high battery usage (I guess reindexing is doing its job)
- the MacBook M1 Pro is definitely quicker.

All in all, it seems a good upgrade, at least for now.

Looking forward to today's release o MacOS 27 Golden Gate. I honestly haven't been this excited about a new MacOS update for over a decade and I am considering a day 1 upgrade over my current Mac OS 15.7.9 Sequoia installation.

I have been testing Golden Gate earlier on an old Macbook Air M1 and it felt very polished, efficient. While I hated Tahoe and therefore never upgraded to it, I think Liquid Glass has been improved to the point that I'm ready to embrace it.

Hazel is one of those indispensable apps that sits quietly on my Mac, renaming files based on their contents (e.g. reading PDFs in my Downloads folder, and renaming it “power bill” if it has my power utility customer number in it, and also prepending the date it was issued, again read from the PDF) and filing them accordingly. So useful. #macOS #Utility
