The issue here is the existence of a terminal feature that can send your commands to a 3rd party server. With not many more characters than are needed for an API key, I could write a script in the very terminal provided by iTerm2 that sen

People are making their whole personalities about being anti-AI. I'm personally a mix of skeptical+worried about AI; but at some point just being a reactionary ninny makes people tune out on whether there might be some truth at the cor

That's really interesting! I never owned an Atari 8-bit but reading about them now they sure seem like they were years ahead of their competitors in some important ways.

I don't think this is right — Mac revenue is slightly higher than iPad but surely Mac ASP is much higher than iPad ASP so I believe iPad unit sales are quite a bit higher than those of the Mac.

More like code that runs code, not code that generates code. Assuming the latter means that it's generating native code and attempting to execute it natively, that's not allowed.

That might hold more weight for me if it weren't the easiest thing in the world to install bash! Like literally `brew install bash` will do it, right? That way I'm not reliant on Apple at all, which seems optimal when we're t

There's also an enjoyment in revisiting the old stuff while standing on its shoulders. For example, there are modern games made by hobbyists for old systems that completely outclass literally anything that was available contemporaneous

It would be interesting if an incident in the vein of the Canadian Airlines one caused a few billion dollars in liability, though. I could see that causing some hesitancy.

It was BillG who famously called the 286 "brain damaged" after all. EDIT: Upon doing a web search, actually it looks like it was "brain dead".

Yeah but what I was interested in was what people who came into contact with both considered superior. I'm gonna nip back across the pond tomorrow so should I watch my Betamax movie tonight or wait until after my Concorde lands? :)

Honest question: is 25fps a net positive over 29.97 for 24fps content? No 3:2 pulldown judder/tearing, but speed/pitch are wrong. (Not to mention color differences, necessity of a tint knob, etc etc.) I don't recall having he

It's popping up more and more because it's so flexible and great to work in. I've spent my weekend working on a Swift project for the Playdate ( https://play.date )!

Yes, 100 Days of Swift (and, really, anything by Paul Hudson (@twostraws)) is really good and recommended all over the place. One more resource I'd add for a beginner, the book The Swift Programming Language : https://docs.

I’m no grammarian but I think it should have a comma after “world”.

I think a key part of why this was confusing to many back in the day was that the big thing at the time was "client-server computing". If you wanted to do email on your home computer, you'd [buy and] install an email client.

I love these ideas. One more: "He said xyz but we know he's lying. What would motivate him to do that?"

Maybe a better example would be the more general "blockchain". There was all sorts of talk just a few years ago about how it was the most revolutionary technology since the Web and every business was going to be affected by it.

I cannot imagine it would take more than _half an hour_ for someone with macOS display compositor experience to implement it. What fools Apple engineering management must be, then!

Just a few months ago I came across some reference to Hobbes and it reminded me of my early-‘90s OS/2 but pre-internet days, when I’d often see references to “Hobbes” but, like “the internet”, I didn’t quite know what it was.

The 80286 had sufficient memory management hardware for full Unix. What it did not have was sufficient memory management hardware for reasonable demand paging, but it was fine for swapping systems. Wasn’t 16-bit OS/2 demand paged on

The best part is when I die I feel like I made a dumb mistake, and that if I improved just a few things I could be way better. I think I've heard Miyamoto talk about that. When the frustration is all with yourself (rather than with t
