Basically using AI the way we have used linters and other static analysis tools, rather than thinking it's magic and blindly accepting its output.

Pushing what used to occur on web forums into Discord chats has been a net loss for the Internet.

As a big fan of Apple TV boxes and a medium fan of Apple TV+, I can't agree with this strongly enough. It's such an unforced error.

It's so unnecessary to call everything "Apple something" when they've had great success creating recognizable brand names like "iPod", "iPhone", and "Macintosh".

Calling it "Apple TV+" just feels like both the set-top box and the streaming service wanted the name "Apple TV" and neither side was budging.

The fact that consumer VR remains a niche category even in its best use case - gaming - tells you everything you need to know about whether or not it's ready for development in the non-gaming consumer space.

Until VR tech is strong enough that it becomes a must-own product type for the average gamer, any other consumer-focused use case should be considered dead in the water.

But it turns out "dump everything in docroot and let mod_php interpret and execute whatever it finds there" had security implications...

Given the things Wells Fargo has been guilty of in the rather recent past, this reads like a punchline.

Have you stopped to think that maybe people will use this "experimental 3 month old language" for their personal stuff, and that not everything in programming is for your "whole team"?

> Seems like Rust was the wrong tool for the job.

Sure, but the problem is when you have a community around that tool that insists otherwise.

Hope that includes the non-invasive glucose monitor for the Apple Watch.

There are two kinds of people who declare a crypto is going "to the moon":

- The ones who don't believe it, and sell off their inflated coins after the price jumps

- The ones who do believe it, and are the rubes the first group is counting on
