My god they’re really running out ideas in Cupertino. What I need is a screen that gives an electrical shock to anybody that dares to touch it with their filthy fingers.

Firefox is a virtual container that executes web applications safely. It’s too much memory still, but OTOH half an OS. It also doesn’t share anything with the OS like Safari

I tried Astra and it started to fix issues in my code when I just asked a question about it. Then I spent half an afternoon to make sure we really didn’t need that change.

That felt so counter productive.

These models+harnesses seem to be getting better at yolo mode one shotting stuff at the cost of being a useful tool for more controlled software engineering.

The odd thing is that UIKit can easily be transformed into a much more pleasant experience if you just fix some of the worst API’s, like embedding ViewControllers and adding constraints in code.

Loss or breakage.

I had the original AirPods and vowed to never buy them again because replacing the battery was so expensive.

Just ridiculous to throw away expensive audio equipment because battery replacement is as expensive as 50% of a new pair.

While good headphones from the 70s are still good, maybe with some foam replacements.

Reminder me of all those “{trivial thing}, on the internet” patents 25 year ago

Yet I never had issues doing any design thrown at me using AppKit, UIKit or SwiftUI.

Only storyboards and XIBs were hard to style globally.

All of the flexibility, but a lot faster than web

And Intents

It’s funny how a US$30 ReSharper license that would give me a 20% performance boost in programming was out of the question, while me burning US$3000 per month on tokens for a 40% boost in performance never was questioned

True

“…if you give it good context…” that’s what the architect session is for basically. You throw around ideas and store the direction you want to go.

Then you execute it with a clean context.

Clean context is needed for maximum performance while not remembering implementation dead ends you already discarded

I think stable API versions are going to be really big. I’d rather have known bugs u can work around than waking up to whatever thing got fixed that made another thing behave differently.

Poland is quite intertwined.

But Catholicism has its own government, which prevents individual catholic countries to veer off too much.

It’s almost like they reject the parts of the bible featuring Christ, and only cling on to the Old Testament and the parts after Christ as their guide.

In lack of a better word, that sounds more like anti-Cristian

Never witnessed anything before or after with that jump in specs
