On macOS, they do! It's not clear why 1Password and Bitwarden don't utilize it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationserv...

Rust’s inference is generally a strength. If there's a type-shaped hole to fill, and only one way to fill it, Rust will just do it. So for instance `takes_a_vec(some_iter.collect())` works even though `collect` has a generic return typ

I'm using the standard US English keyboard on iOS 26.1. Not sure what other details would be relevant.

I'd love to use Orion but it's just too buggy for me. I downloaded the iOS app to try it out and immediately noticed that when typing in the URL bar, three quarters of it is covered by the toolbar above the keyboard.

I've only ever seen `a` and `d`. Personally I prefer `a`. The only time I've seen `c` is for trait methods like `<Self as Trait<Generic>>::func`. Noisy? I guess. Not sure how else this could really be written.

It still interferes with itself, and that interference affects the pattern of detections. It's as if the photon were a wave right up until the moment of detection, at which points it's forced to “particalize” and pick a spot to be

Wow, very cool problem. Took me a second, very satisfying to land on the solution.

It's not just about curving the baseline, the glyphs themselves curve according to the user-specified curve radius. Check out the second image/gif with curve optimizations on/off.

What determines which “average” AI models latch onto? At a pixel level, the average of every image is a grayish rectangle; that's obviously not what we mean and AI does not produce that. At a slightly higher level, the average of every

I don't know too much about how the feature file distribution works but in the event of failure to read a new file, wouldn't logging the failure and sticking with the previous version of the file be preferable?

Federighi is in charge of software which is Apple’s weak spot right now; hardware has been firing on all cylinders for years now while software gets buggier and more confusing. I'm not sure how he could turn the ship around as CEO if h

asciimath does a lot of things automatically, like parenthesis sizing and auto-frac, that latex requires you to do yourself. \left and \right and \frac do add quite a bit of noise to simple equations.

Without AI assistance, this should take ~10–15 minutes for a human. Maybe add 5 minutes if you're not allowed to use d3.

It's interesting because if you asked them to write code to generate an SVG of a clock, they'd probably use a loop from 1 to 12, using sin and cos of the angle (given by the loop index over 12 times 2pi) to place the numerals. The

This font actually has quite a bit of character.

Right, surely the icons could be SVGs, with the background orbs stored as a base64 PNG (or maybe a specular lighting filter?), with the foreground icons made to move via an updating displacement map?

IIRC IBM’s Watson (the one that played Jeopardy) used primitive NLP (imagine!) to form a tree of factual relations and then passed this tree to construct Prolog queries that would produce an answer to a question. One could imagine that by s

Plastic is a hydrocarbon. If bacteria can metabolize it, we have a whole new source of GHG on our hands. It looks like 5–10% of petroleum ends up as plastic, which seems like a decently sized new supply of GHG to worry about. Even if we swi

When I open this in the Mac app store, there is a download button, so I'm guessing it works on both iOS and macOS due to catalyst.

What does it mean that it preserves fonts? Presumably the body font on my website won't also support math typesetting, right? Or at least, not in a way that's as nice looking as the tex default?
