While it's controversial to put business logic in your database, I suspect it is not controversial to claim that it's important to understand the permissions and security of your database. If you neglect learning how your database handles authorization, then you probably aren't following the principle of least privilege — your database might be accessed by coworkers (e.g. developers, data scientists, marketers, accountants), contractors, continuous integration processes, or deployed services that have more privileges than they should, which increases the risk of data leaks, improper data access (e.g. of personal identifiable information), and accidental or malicious data corruption and data loss.

This document attempts to explain the Apple Silicon (i.e. M1 and later) Mac boot ecosystem (henceforth "AS Macs"), as it pertains for how open OSes interoperate with the platform.

It is intended for developers and maintainers of Linux, BSD and other OS distributions and boot-related components, as well as users interested in the platform, and its goal is to cover the overall picture without delving into excessive technical detail. Specifics should be left to other wiki pages. It also omits details that only pertain to macOS (such as how kernel extensions work and are loaded).

To clarify from the start, this article is meant for people who write Haskell, because it covers do notation, the most common way of writing monadic code. I wanted to write it, because I believe you can write monadic code without understanding monads.
