In my experience, when you always have the option of coasting, repeatedly choosing to coast is tempting. You know it leads to a worse outcome. You live in fear of long term regret from the sum of your choices. Suffering arrives in between a

Before typing with our thumbs made autocapitalization a popular feature, we were roughly as lazy, and it meant no caps at all. ;)

iCloud Keychain syncing, strong password suggestions in Safari, and WebAuthn passkeys are all part of Apple's strategy. When they don't buy a third party and deeply integrate it, they tend to operate by insinuating themselves as t

Zig in particular stands out for having strong support for cross-compiling. I wonder how much simpler that makes adding a new platform to a self-hosted language, and what challenges persist?

If Zig is built on a C compiler, and (I assume) the C compiler self-hosts, then if Zig starts to self-host, it doesn't _introduce_ the dependency on a chain of previously built binaries, it just makes it a step more severe while removi

For what it's worth, Apple offers Numbers free on the App Store. I'm not sure how deep the financial functions go. Graphing: The classic has been ported by its original author. Not free but a pleasant surprise https://s

It really isn't. You likely have a phone, there's a whole App Store full of calculators, and in a pinch there's always Spotlight. PCalc has been on iPad since just after iPad launched. https://www.loopinsight.com&#

Just an incredible film. Even the slow parts, and there are a lot of them, have so much rich setting to marvel at. The love scene comes across as nonconsensual and it makes me uncomfortable every time. Whether that's intended discomfor

Generally I plug into one or two external 4K Dell displays, models P2715Q and U2720Q, with either USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to DisplayPort, or in the past, Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort. I avoid HDMI ever since I once found I was limited to 3

Yes: Just now I checked TextEdit's "Open with Rosetta" box in Get Info, launched it, and saw it come up as an Intel process in Activity Monitor. This was in a Ventura beta 2 VM run with Apple's virtualization sample proj
