Don't parse the output of ls, use globbing or find. Here are some examples https://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs

The problem is existing shell scripts not written by yourself.

This is why I encourage not overriding common commands in $PATH. Setup an alias instead so it only applies to interactive shells (or just type the new command :p).

Shell scripting is already fickle enough with compatibility issues across the major implemtations of POSIX utils (GNU, macOS/ BSD, Busybox). Even /bin/sh itself cannot be relied upon to behave consistently across platforms. Notably, Busybox's ash supports the non-POSIX substring syntax that Bash does. This won't work on distro's like Debian where /bin/sh is linked to dash shell.

Not exactly. The linked post is from theregister announcing the fork. This post is the fork itself.

Maybe I'm just of a different vintage but I'm just not a fan of these e-mail newsleters that seem to be the trend these days. I'd much rather follow a Github repo for this sort of thing.

I added the "(XNU inofleak)" to the title as I felt it was a bit too lacking in context without it. Hope that's OK.
