Yup. The author has now swapped that part out for “Any language can do this.”
Just commenting to preempt any comments telling you that the article doesn’t say this.

Jarred just tweeted a few days ago about how little influence over zig he has, funnily enough.

honestly as long as they don’t use the home directory ill survive. vscode and similar apps not offering any alternative to home directory pollution kills me.
I assume this breaks vscode? Would love a writeup if you have time

Nice start. There's definitely room for a good native macOS chat client, I have tried a few now and none feel perfect. I found two that feel usable:
HuggingChat (https://github.com/huggingface/chat-macOS) It has a launcher interface in the current release, and code, latex, etc are pretty printed. You can switch from HF hosted models to local mlx ones (though those are hardcoded rn i think). I like it for quick queries to qwen2.5-coder and I think it would be great if they develop it more.
Enchanted (https://github.com/gluonfield/enchanted) This one feels a bit buggy and it might be abandoned, but it has basic functionality for working with ollama models.
Also worth a mention is aichat (https://github.com/sigoden/aichat). It's not a native gui app, but it's an impressive cli client.

Just switched from logi options to Steer Mouse myself.
You can map the buttons and add chords. The only thing it might lack is being able to use mouse movement as a trigger (eg hold the back button and move left to change spaces). Still looking for it

Nice, I’ll try it. I assume this takes a screenshot every second or so and we get a video?
Semi-related but I’ve been wanting a screen recording tool that drops identical consecutive frames for reducing file size. Maybe frame comparison would be mouse-insensitive idk. Cause I would like to review what I’ve been working on and still capture the details as I’m scrolling a page, but often there’s half a second where I’m just reading or I take a drink of water or something and I don’t need those frames. I suppose this is a pretty close approximation if I can capture like 10fps or something

Wow. When I saw the original for-loop example I was like "ok not a huge deal, doesn't surprise me too much really". But rewritten in the comprehension form I'm like wtf

Dynamic UTIs in macOS started to cause problems for me when I upgraded to Catalina.
Setting defaults for 'Open with' on these file types seems pointless as I'm forced to do it once per each dynamic UTI (as far as I can tell).
It's also annoying that quicklook (extensions) started playing dumb with them — you'd think that QL would look for the lowest familiar ancestor or something.
I'm not sure whether the file typing approach changed with catalina, or if the migration from qlgenerators to quicklook extensions broke things, or if it's just catalina being buggy but it's disappointing that the typing situation seemed better back in mojave.

note: i’m not a doctor or anything related.
Wikipedia says “5-HT2A antagonists block the psychedelic activity of LSD”[0], so wouldn’t 5-ht2a antagonists like mirtazapine work well enough here?
No idea as to how quickly the trip would be tempered, though

For anyone looking for more information on what happens on the first run of an app in Catalina, see [0]. Here's a direct link to the diagram [1].

Perhaps related: "How come someone notarized my app?"[0]
It mentions that anyone with an apple developer ID can notarize a qualifying app and submit this notary to the Apple Notary Service. However, the proof of notarization—the notarization ticket—might not be stapled to the application.
In the case of no stapled ticket, Catalina contacts the notary service to see whether a ticket exists. If so, the app is good to go.

EDIT. More informative link here[1]. It specifically outlines what happens on first run of an app. (and there's a great diagram if you scroll down)

I remember reading speculation about that as well. After some googling, it appears only speculation that the Music app would be built using Marzipan/Catalyst.
9to5mac writes in a correcting update that “We’ve now learned that the code for the new Music app for macOS will be based on iTunes, not iOS”.

Mostly unrelated, but does anyone know how apple managed to make the macOS Apple Music app feel like electron?
I imagine that they didn’t actually use electron, but the app feels pretty far from native imo
