Infinite Mac: Resource Fork Roundtripping

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-17 06:36:43

One of the frequent emails that I get about Infinite Mac is “I’ve been copying over these files to every mac I’ve owned for the past 20 (or 30 or 40) years, how can I load them into your site?” While there’s been a “The Outside World” drive from the very beginning, all it can do is a best-effort import/export using available browser APIs. Classic Mac OS used resource forks for structured data and stored additional metadata in the file system (where it belongs). Modern macOS still supports all of

Readers still love this legendary Files by Google alternative, but why?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-25 04:00:21

Andy Walker / Android Authority In a recent article I wrote about alternatives to Files by Google, several users mentioned a name I hadn’t heard in ages: Total Commander. Launched back in 2012, the app still has a strong following on Android, even though I remember it best as my preferred Windows file manager back in the day. You all intrigued me, so I installed it on my main phone and started using it as my primary file manager. But is it any good compared to the many alternatives available? I

Safe C++ proposal is not being continued

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 20:00:29

One year ago, the Safe C++ proposal was made. The goal was to add a safe subset/context into C++ that would give strong guarantees (memory safety, type safety, thread safety) similar to what Rust provides, without breaking existing C++ code. It was an extension or superset of C++. The opt-in mechanism was to explicitly mark parts of the code that belong to the safe context. The authors even state: Code in the safe context exhibits the same strong safety guarantees as code written in Rust. The

Google Tasks may be getting an upgrade that makes it worthy as a standalone app (APK teardown)

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing the ability to add documents via Google Drive to tasks saved in Calendar. It allows adding multiple files in various formats to a task’s description. In its current form, the functionality is limited to Google Calendar but is not available through the native Tasks app or the web interface. Tasks is one of Google’s most straightforward and user-friendly apps. But its lack of features, masquerading as simplicity, is also upsetting for use

Dotter: Dotfile manager and templater written in Rust

What is Dotter? Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater. Dotfiles are configuration files that usually live in the home directory and start with a dot. Often times, it is desirable to have a backup of all the configurations on your system, which is why a lot of users have their dotfiles saved in a git repository, then symlinking them to their target locations using ln -s . However, there are several issues with that barebones approach: Hard to keep track of what comes from where once you h

Using Claude Code SDK to reduce E2E test time

End-to-end (E2E) tests sit at the top of the test pyramid because they're slow, fragile, and expensive. But they're also the only tests that completely verify complete user workflows actually work across systems. Due to time constraints, most teams run E2E nightly to avoid CI bottlenecks. However, this means bugs can slip through to production and be harder to fix because there are so many changes to isolate the root cause.
