This 100% - it’s funny how it’s actually more reliable in my experience to use the encrypted sparse bundle. I can sling it over to my NAS no problem. I’ve restored from one and everything was perfectly fine. YMMV of course

Be warned if you actually install beta software and take your device to the Apple Store they will not replace parts because of the chance the diagnostic tools aren’t compatible- this bit me trying to get my iPhone battery replaced

+1 I went out of my way to set up a skeleton project that just uses shell scripts to build an app bundle. I really dislike Xcode but Swift itself is actually fun to write.

Thank you. It’s driving me crazy that everyone is just pointing to research and numbers, partly manufactured numbers at that. Go outside and talk to a few real people and see how they’re fairing maybe…

See the benefit of just using what the original mathematician wrote, is that if they had a problem with a way the graph was rendering, or they wanted to tweak it, they just had to edit the code, no translation layer needed. It shipped like

I want to come out and say that a long time ago at a startup we needed to generate a very particular type of analysis graph for a human operator to review in our SaaS. and I just straight up installed GNU Octave on the server and called ou

Awesome demo page! SDFs are super fun, and usually pretty useful (in addition to being pretty) I recall a paper published by Valve that showed their approach to using SDFs to pack glyphs into low res textures while still rendering them at h

I've gotten used to it on iOS 26 at least, but, I have been using the official macOS release on my work macbook and it's _horrid_. I'm holding onto macOS 15 as long as I possibly can on my personal machine.

This is a company owned by the same guy whose other company is dumping huge amounts of pollution into the air around Memphis, TN. And when asked they basically said “no we aren’t.” Something tells me it’s not NIMBYism.

Glad you say you're coming around on the BEAM. It really is a fantastic virtual machine. Of course if you look at my comment history you'll see I'm a big fan of it and tend to push it, but that's only because it has actu

I ended up grabbing an Ioniq fully electric 2019 and i absolutely love it. Got it for a decent used cost, interior wise it was like new, no huge touch screen, but a decent one for CarPlay and Android Auto, real knobs and buttons, and the on

Really interesting perspective honestly, I legitimately have no issue with machine learning being used as a tool, like all technology it has benefits! It’s when it’s used as a replacement for creativity that really gets to me.

I wanted to upgrade my NAS with some 12TB drives and two of them in the box from Amazon had been powered on (according to the SMART data) for over a year! Thankfully got my money back.

wild that I booted up my SGI O2 the other night just to remember the name of the tech used in the demos that ran inside Netscape! And then spent a whole while reading about VRML. I wish we had something as easy to deploy interactive experie

I am primarily an Elixir engineer so Dart was the exact opposite of what I’m usually working in, that said it’s not hard to get up to speed on Dart conventions- and other team members were able to get up and contributing in a couple weeks

Flutter Pi had other issues. It required systemd as a dependency just for the event loop which we ended up having to hack out. The Sony embedded project is still being updated and active. And the code quality is much better

We shipped a project at work with Flutter recently, specifically using it on embedded Linux, basically a touch screen smart apartment tablet/thermostat combo. Internally the “UI” team is tiny (basically me, a UI/Designer and one o
