It was two decades ago to the day—March 24, 2001—that Mac OS X first became available to users the world over. We're not always big on empty sentimentality here at Ars, but the milestone seemed worthy of a quick note.

Of course, Mac OS X (or macOS 10 as it was later known) didn't quite survive to its 20th birthday; last year's macOS Big Sur update brought the version number up to 11, ending the reign of X.

But despite its double life on x86 and ARM processors and its increasingly close ties to iOS and iPadOS, today's macOS is still very much a direct descendant of that original Mac OS X release. Mac OS X, in turn, evolved in part from Steve Jobs' NeXT operating system—which had recently been acquired by Apple—and its launch was the harbinger of the second Jobs era at Apple.

Cheetah, Mac OS X's initial release, was pretty buggy. But it introduced a number of things that are still present in the operating system today. Those included the dock, which—despite some refinements and added features—is still fundamentally the same now as it ever was, as well as the modern version of Finder. And while macOS has seen a number of UI and design tweaks that have changed over time, the footprints of Cheetah's much-hyped Aqua interface can still be found all over Big Sur.

SnakeMe's official site - It's a cool powerful and FREE remake of the classical snake game. You can play alone, with up to three friends (two players on the keyboard, and two joypads), or again computer intelligence (eight players maximum).

• In an app on your Mac, choose Edit Emoji & Symbols, or open the Character Viewer from the Input menu (if you set the option in Keyboard preferences). Depending on your Mac model, you can also set an option in the Keyboard pane of Keyboard System Preferences to access the Character Viewer by pressing the Fn key or (if available on the keyboard).
• Mac OS X finally did away with the whole scheme, implementing a modern sparse virtual memory scheme. A subset of the older memory model APIs still exists for compatibility as part of Carbon, but maps to the modern memory manager (a thread-safe malloc implementation) underneath.

OS X brought many new features and technologies we now take for granted, too. For example, it enabled Apple's laptops to wake up from sleep immediately, and it introduced dynamic memory management, among other things.

Mac OS X's greatest impact in retrospect may be in the role it had in inspiring and propping up iOS, which has far surpassed macOS as Apple's most widely used operating system. And indeed, macOS lives in a very different context today than it did in 2001. It was recently bumped from the No.2 operating system spot globally by Google's Chrome OS, ending a very long run for Mac OS as the world's second-most popular desktop operating system in terms of units shipped.

The most popular desktop operating system in 2021 is Windows, just as it was in 2001, but the most popular OS overall is Google's Android, which has dramatically larger market share in the mobile space than iOS does.

So while Mac OS X's influence is profound, it exists today primarily as a support for iOS, which is also itself not the most popular OS in its category. Despite Apple's resounding success in the second Steve Jobs era, as well as in the recent Tim Cook era, the Mac is still a relatively niche platform—beloved by some, but skipped by much of the mainstream.

After 20 years, a lot has changed, but a whole lot has stayed the same.

I was struggling to enable and preset passphrase with gpg-agent and tried few articles and finally I could able to make it works following this article. Let me summarise the steps i followed.

1. Install gpg-agent with brew

brew install gpg-agent

this will install all require dependencies too.

2. create a new ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent.conf file and add following lines.

default-cache-ttl 600
max-cache-ttl 7200
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry
allow-preset-passphrase

3. We need to start gpg-agent when machine boot. I used LaunchControl app to register a startup service. If you start gpg-agent daemons more than one, each agent will sit on their toe, this is what above article says.

Add the following line and load it.

/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent –daemon –enable-ssh-support –write-env-file /Users/<you>/.gpg-agent-info

4. Need to set few environment variables. Add followings to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc if you use zsh as your shell.

if [ -f “${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info” ]; then
. “${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info”
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
fi

export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

5. Restart your machine and now you good to go. You will prompt to enter the very first time your gpg passphrase and gpg-agent will cache it for you until the cache period ends which you can configure using ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent.conf file.
