I tried to read it. Section list isn’t links. Tried to scroll, got a full screen dickbox. Gave up. If you want to write for email, just write for email and don’t put it on the web. If you wanna put it on the web, use web features. And eithe

It was definitely a great release. I think that’s a big part of why it’s become legendary. To me the myth is the “no new features”. Apple may have said that in places in marketing but there were new features. Grand Central Dispatch for ex

It’s somewhat fair for multiplayer only games. Preservationists want the right to stand up their own server and that would be nice, but I get it. However for games with a real single player component, or ONLY a single player component, ther

It’s still better than basically 0%. Yeah they’re not going make you rich. It doesn’t take the place of investing. But its still better than a checking account for money you need to keep liquid.

When I first got a real high rate savings account it was 5%. I think my normal bank paid an incredible 0.05% at the time. You’re right it varies and that has been obvious lately as I seem to be getting monthly email warning me my rate would

Yeah just off the top of my head I’d expect Discover and AmEx to be around 3.5%. Apple is at 3.4%. I moved away from near 0% savings accounts more than 20 years ago, it’s amazing to me it’s still so common. You don’t have to try very hard o

I believe there are games sold today where what’s on the disc is not enough to play it. There is a mandatory A disc is not sufficient. It does not give you the rights you think.

You can keep your coaster for 500 years. Thats not want you wanted when you bought it. What if the full game isn’t on the disc? How are you going to play it in five years when the servers are gone and you can’t download the rest. What if th

They are also assuming that the comparison is to a financial advisor and not either nothing or a relative/friend who may or may not give good advice.

3% is amazingly good. It’s not hard to beat that, but a savings account at a common bank can easily be below 0.05%. I looked up BoA. 0.04%.

My checking account isn’t the best out there at 1%. Same with my savings account at 3.4%. Neither of those is anywhere near inflation. You are effectively losing money by parking it there. Most checking accounts don’t pay interest at all. I

That was Sony music, not Sony Computer Entertainment. Different divisions of a mega corp. We know divisions fight. The hardware business had to make MiniDisc worse so Sony Music wouldn’t be too mad.

Even if it has the full game they can EULA out if it. There are no laws saying they can’t. Discs are accidental theater. They didn’t start out that way but that’s what they’ve become.

It’s a pretend manifestation, as the article points out.

No. Thats the whole point. The point is you have no rights digital or physical. That’s the problem. Disc are not magic totems. There is nothing promising you the disc you will work in 10 years, 10 months, 10 days. Nothing ensuring that you

Discs don’t matter. The whole “bring back discs” thing is pointless. They’re gone. Period. Rights matter. If we had the same rights with digital purchases we had with old physical games the disc thing would be a much much smaller issue. W

It’s the kernel. Nothing a user space library can do should ever be able to call this. Just happens to be that the musl code is able to hit this and other code isn’t for some reason.

The first thread is the user program, the other thread is the kernel doing things on another core. Reading from the zero page is legal, that doesn’t cause it to crash. The crash is because of a logic “bug” in the program where the zero it

Sounded like a race condition causing a correct new mapping in the TLB to be cleared away by mistake, reverting back to the zero page mapping it was before.

Excellent explanation. I’ve been reading the LWN kernel page for >20 years so I’ve picked up almost all the jargon and could understand it pretty decently. You’re dead on in saying it was written for that specific audience, not anyone mo

I have never run into code like that in any of my jobs.

I agree fully. It may not be perfect but it works really well, has a huge community, and I like the language. I mostly ignore online discussions about Java. So much of it just feels like memes. Complaining about things that haven’t been v

Oh good! I have had a chance to try it.

I tried to look through this earlier. Am I right this is only available through the CLI? If so it’s a no go for me and my team. Which is too bad because it looks quite useful. An addition ability I would love, which is a MUCH bigger feature

You REALLY don’t want to do this on a normal drive with Mac stuff on it. There’s a reason it’s not the default. Story is Apple wanted to do this but gave up. Way way too many Mac apps would load their own resources using the wrong case. I t

A lot more than several. Sounded like it ended up being a large chunk of his team.

Makes sense. I’m sure they have no interest in every Claude prompt going to Anthropic to keep eyes on what Apple is up to.

I know they use it, they host it too? That would be a very Apple thing to do.

I don’t know about hosting it internally but a an Apple focused podcast I listen to (Accidental Tech Podcast) has mentioned numerous times in the last few months they’re using Claude heavily. And they know Apple insiders.
