Hard to take this too seriously when the US is way below war torn countries in Africa.

I think the current Prius PHEV looks much better than any Tesla right now. (It’s a plugin hybrid not a pure EV, of course.)

Right, but you can’t have a single package containing both ObjC and Swift. It’s a limitation of SwiftPM that has prevented me from using it for a few projects (I am using it in several others, though).

Because targeting the latest release lets the developer use new APIs/features that are not available on older OSes making development more productive and pleasant. Of course, there’s a balance to be struck to support users, but macOS u

It’s worth having the original at Caesar’s in Tijuana. Absolutely delicious.

I’m a Mac developer and when asked always say that my favorite app of all time is Keynote. It’s just so, so well done, and the epitome of a great Mac app. Would that all software had so much care for UX put into it.

Picasso absolutely was called that and worse. His treatment of women in his life and some of his children was far from decent.

No, that was Leitz (Leica). Nikon didn’t start making cameras at all until 1948. Their first cameras were rangefinders, sort of a cross between a Contax and a Leica. They were very good (some of my very favorite cameras), but not super popu

I adored the Living Computers Museum. Being able to just sit down and use an Apple 1, Xerox Alto, Altair 8800, and so many more in the same place was incredible. And then, a friendly museum employee being there to show you how to use it, te

This is notable because it’s the first longstanding camera company to return to making new 35mm film cameras. Leica never stopped, but otherwise it has only been Lomography and cheap plastic “reusable disposable” cameras for the last severa

Or you know, if you care about all this stuff, just don’t shoot film! I shoot, process, and scan my own film, both color and B&W, and I don’t have any special facilities. Just a sink and a table… As for environnemental concerns, B&W

You’re right of course, which is why Fuji sells both Provia and Velvia. However the slide is still the image. It’s not a perfect reproduction of the scene in front of the lens, but there’s no subjective choices to be made during printing an

I tend to agree, but it also is difficult for economies that have been built on the idea that growth can and will continue forever.

I’m a full-time Mac and iOS developer, have been for almost 20 years, and this is the first I’ve heard of it. Might just be my bubble, but I don’t think it’s a huge thing yet. (I’m going to check it out now!)

Something that annoys me about this post is the emphasis on Chromium being open source as if WebKit is not. Chromium started out as a fork of WebKit!

I’ve seen the same in my own waveform rendering systems over the years. SIMD comes in handy for a lot of audio-related things, of course.

The latest approved Alzheimer’s drug, Lecanemab, shows a cognitive benefit. It’s modest, but there are already successors in the pipeline that have shown promise (e.g. donanemab). They’re baby steps, not at all cures, and have significant s

This is good advice. Be aware that while APOE variants are the most well known and common causes of a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s, there are several others, including some 100% penetrance, dominant gene mutations that cause it. Un

My understanding is that in recent versions of iOS (and iPadOS) Siri runs a decent percentage of requests locally as well.

I was there in 2014 and was struck by how gross the metro stations in Paris were. I was there again this month (got home yesterday) and was struck by how much cleaner and nicer the stations seemed. I assumed (with no information) that they’

I disagree with you. If the risk is 100% as it is with some ALS-causing gene mutations, as well as one that runs in my (in-law) family, it's does indeed alone explain risk. At least for the disease in my family, timing of onset is rela

Fuji has a couple Instax cameras that do that. They’re not as feature-filled as this camera, but they’re pretty cool.

eFAD (early-onset Alzheimer’s disease) runs in my wife’s family. It’s a simple Mendelian dominant genetic trait. If you get the mutated gene from your parent, you get Alzheimer’s. Not “well, you might get it”. You get it. Usually in your ea
