How do I know if I am using the M1 version of a program and not the Intel version?
It's a free, open-source utility that someone has generously released to the public. I find it useful. I often install and run lots of different apps and open-source things, and sometimes it's convenient to be able to just look at an icon in the menu bar to confirm whether something is running under Rosetta or not. Other people find it useful too. Just because you don't have a use for it, doesn't mean nobody else in the world does either.

Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?
> Curious to see what, if anything, is running under translation
There's a useful app called Silicon Info on Github (https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info) and also on the Mac App Store.
It adds a menu bar icon that switches according to the currently-focused app's architecture.

Welcome new Apple Silicon users! Check out my (tiny) menu bar app that displays if a running application is optimized for ARM
Of course, it is free and open source (check out the code on Github!).

Common Questions about Apple Silicon - Does It ARM
If you already own an Apple Silicon Mac and want to know which apps are running natively as opposed to via Rosetta 2 translation, you can download Silicon Info and see a report of the apps

Intel or Apple. Discover it directly using your MenuBar
I'm not sure OP is the developer, but moreso someone trying to just share.. mac app news. I feel the picture and description is self explanatory if you have one, but the full github release is here: https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info

HFS Origins: The Turbo File System (2017)
I think NeXT might've written an HFS Standard reader or something, but they used the Apple code for HFS+ so it ended up as a hybrid.

Windows 11 Insider Preview — Rust in the Windows Kernel
Mach message passing and objc message passing have no relation. I don’t think xnu contains much if any objc.

Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming
here is the kernel source (they have branches for each individual macos release with its darwin kernel ver, macos 13 is ver 8792.xx.x for instance): https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac
Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with open source. The main beneficiaries of Apple supporting Vulkan would be people porting closed-source games.

- Believe it or don't, Idc, but I am the dude who "forced" Apple to open-source everything. Hackintosh ftw :D
