Does anyone voluntarily buys them? I find them barely eatable food.

nah... it is explicit genocide, and the deliberate destruction of every civilian possible. Everyone knows what's going on.

Give him 6 months... usually it takes a bit to change things around (including marketing / pr presentations).

But, he has been part of Apple for too long, and probably has internalized that style.

Hope he brings good change though...

2/3rds of those herbs grow in the garden of my home as just weed (this in Albania), including mint, cilantro, origano and more.

While some have to be cultivated, a lot these herbs just grow as weeds in the Mediterranean area.

Easy... Just go to a Trader's Joe, and get a lamb leg and roast it....

Was this written by AI?

My experience, with the latest models, they do write code that looks correct/polished, but often do not fully solve the problem, or solve the wrong thing, or introduce un-needed complexity. By often, I mean at least 10%-15%, which is still a high enough error rate, that you don't want to let loose in even a trivial service, let alone a service that is on the critical side.

For now humans are absolutely needed in the loop.

I still use my M1 Pro Macbook... for iOS development. It still works amazing well, and the battery still is holding strong. For large apps, compiling can be a tad slow, but for medium and small apps it still works amazingly well.

Eventually I will upgrade, but for me the M1 Pro Macbook (14") has to be the best computer of the last two decades.

Before that, I had the butterfly Intel version, and that was a disaster. Apple just cooked with the M1+ line...

Again... you are confusing second order effects, with the primary reason.

We have an old saying "te rafte pika e diellit", may you get a spot, sun spot, aka cancer from the Sun.

People knew excessive sun is unhealthy.... if you could you avoid it during the summer. It was not necessary to make you look 'rich'. Ability to avoid it, meant you were rich. And people wanted to be pale, because you look rich, that is a second order effect, that came because of the original reason (aka, too much sun is unhealthy).

This is silly.... most of the world didn't live in england.

All cultures (including mine), have a way to warn kids, or adults for not to stay too long in the sun. From normal sunburn, to feeling light-headenes/fainting due to heat excaustion, etc.

In the winter was the opposite. (stay in the sun to get some sunlight and not get sick).

So, they knew, and had nothing to do with 'class'. Also, they knew some sun was good/beneficial, especially during the winter.

SwiftData is just a framework that you can choose to ignore and not use at all. Even CoreData. You can go straight to the source, and use some small layer on top of SQLite, and ignore that noise (most large apps just do that).

But, SwiftUI is being pushed as the way to do UI, and as a replacement for UIKIt/the future of apple, where it is not even near feature parity with it. That's the most troubling part of it.

I wished apple just made it as a Template Rendering framework, and integrated wit with UIKit, and just modernized UIKit a bit.

Just use manual layout / frames dude, like a caveman. (ps. Many successful large apps do just that, including Instagram, and some of Spotify, where I worked).

Dude, you didn't describe MVC at all, but MMVC.

MVC, the controller is the intermediary between the services/data models, and the views. That still one of the best / simplest way to build large apps. MMVC is just a variation of it, with the models being able to communicate state to views and bypass controller if needed.

MVC, is still one of those 'fundemental as simple as it gets, and it gets the job done' patterns.

You are applying a one way arrow to events where in real life events do change state and can completely change UI (and functions) itself. Which makes imperative always the superior mode.

What you described works only in super simple scenarios. Whink Web 1.0, when Javascript was used for basic form validation at best, and didn't change DOM that much.
