Yes. I'll go down a wrong path in 20 minutes that'd have taken me half a day to go down by hand, and I keep having to remind myself that code is cheap now (and the robot doesn't get tired) so it's best to throw it away a

There is truly no space in my device repertoire for a Neo and I can say that with confidence because of how much time I've spent trying to find one.

Apple's fault that they didn't bother to edit the text that says "No install fuss"?

If you're addressing this to me: you need to separate my description of how I perceive things from any effort/desire on my part to make that come to pass. I don't expect to stand to gain if AI continues to get better at codin

It'd be interesting (earnestly!) to see someone make a solid case for AI reimplementation being bad but that the original (afaik) "clean room" project, Compaq's reimplementation of IBM's PC BIOS (something most peop

An argument that I have some sympathy for, while still being moderately+ in favor of gun control (here in the USA where I'm a citizen). It seems that gun control—though imperfect—in regions that have implemented it has had a good bit o

You can also just not choose to enroll any fingerprints in Touch ID. It’s totally optional even if you have the hardware.

The "Swift has too many keywords now" meme makes me want to go insane. The vast majority of Swift code never runs into any of that stuff; so, what advocates of it are saying is in effect "we don't want Swift to expand in

So ask the AI to just translate one little chunk at a time, right?

This is so well-written with obvious care! Answers so much of what I've been wanting to know, as someone who's thinking about taking this plunge.

I'm not a Python programmer but I could've sworn I've repeatedly heard it said that LLMs are particularly good at writing Python.

I don't know… people were lonely before LLMs. And, they're right, this is a question one could easily paste into a frontier model and easily get back info that's way more useful than the significant majority of blog posts o

At the risk of getting further off-topic: what sort of system calls did they have you implement? I’ve never done but a tiny bit of kernel hacking and that sounds like a good exercise, but I’m not sure what would be a good first syscall to a

"I honestly have to say that it's a better programmer than I am, it's just not anywhere near as good a software developer for all of the higher and lower level concerns that are the other 50% of the job." That's a g

I’ll take the opposite side! This seems completely unprecedented. I have nearly no faith in any estimates of even the relatively near-term future.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense, thanks. My experience as "sysadmin" has largely been from the standpoint of personal systems for which that has mostly not been a big concern for me.

On a similar note: just the other day I was thinking about how the Unixy systems I used 20+ years ago used to nudge/push you toward creating several actual partitions during installation. Maybe /, /usr, swap… maybe one or two

I keep seeing this take lately and I don’t understand it at all because there is ~zero Liquid Glass in visionOS, including in visionOS 26.

I assume roughly the same caveats would apply, though? Buffering might be set wrong (and have no mechanism to be updated because the program never checks again), etc.

It’s my understanding that Chan Karunamuni was largely responsible for leading the iPhone X home buttonless interface, which, I agree, is fantastic and probably the best bit of UI to come out of Apple in years. Also, the Dynamic Island, whi

This was really helpful and easy to follow. I came across this term the other day in that article that was going around about defining OOP and was a little baffled and thought "uh, I'll come back to this", but this gave me th
