On previous versions, there was a single "Apple Intelligence" toggle that turned off all of these features. This support doc describes ~10 separate settings, and still doesn't provide any way to turn off certain AI features (e.g. Genmoji).

When I see an AI-generated hero image, I close the tab. It’s an excellent heuristic for quality.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'd heard of fish but didn't realize that was a feature. It seems quite nice.

I’m not a huge fan of Warp, but I would love for any other terminal to copy its text editor-style input field.

It’s so much nicer for 90% of my terminal usage (long multi-line commands, etc.) And when you do need TUI behavior that 10% of the time, just toggle it off.

The new one also doesn’t consistently snap to a specific line in the URL fragment if the diff is too large, which makes sharing links problematic.

Wow, reordering workspaces with the mouse! This is a small thing that has been driving me insane on GNOME coming from macOS.

VPC endpoints in general should be free and enabled by default. That you need to pay extra to reach AWS' own API endpoints from your VPC feels egregious.

Just offloading the analysis to the phone is extremely funny. It also seems like a pretty obvious solution, so I wonder if it was delayed by legal analysis and they only just decided it was likely to hold up in court.

Ah, that may be the case - I’ll edit my comment. I was primarily using macOS before this so I may have misremembered the Windows behavior.

As a recent Linux (and Wayland) switcher, I love this behavior. It has always felt insane to me that macOS will just let some random auto-updater steal focus and eat your keystrokes while trying to work on something.

I like Nix but I think the current model of reinventing a new set of declarative configuration settings for each package is fundamentally misguided and will not scale in the long term (look at the number of program-specific options in Home Manager for example).

The nice thing about container-based systems is that all the existing documentation for configuring a given program continues to apply as expected. Of course the tricky part is figuring out how to compose them together.

I don’t know what you mean by this, unless there’s a personal reason. LGA has a free shuttle bus from the subway, JFK and EWR have AirTrains connected to the subway, and SFO has a direct BART connection. I use public transit exclusively to get to all of those airports.

My guess would be that this is in support of the preview hover feature. For a while now, you can watch an entire video just by hovering over it, complete with captions, scrubbing and audio. This wouldn't be very useful if the thumbnails were still tiny like in the past. Personally, I like this feature and don't often need to look at tons of thumbnails at once, but to each their own.

Abandoning traditional constructors and all their strange special-cased rules in favor of regular old class methods that return Self was one of Rust’s best design decisions, I think. Super easy to reason about. Glad to see similar techniques being advocated for other languages.

I used Direct File this year. Super fast and simple, no upsells or bullshit. Feels like every little thing just gets worse and worse lately.
