Infinite Mac: Resource Fork Roundtripping

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-17 01:36:43

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

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.

Safe C++ proposal is not being continued

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 15:00:29

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
