Dating Fireball just posted about how broken SwiftUI is for basic things AppKit was doing correctly in the late 90s (undo/redo)[0]. I think peak productivity for desktops was probably hit about 10 years ago. Most things since then are

That would unfairly couple the success of their students with their own success /sarc. The government has a history of inflating anything they offer cheap money for. Housing, healthcare, education. In our area parents can get several t

That’s like saying you could use positions to specify function argument access (as in assembly) instead of variable names. File descriptors being numbers that are likely array indexes in a file handle seems like a leaky abstraction. Having

Most programming languages abstract this out to be able to connect or drop the 3 standard pipes. Typically this is the only thing that can be shared anyway unless the other program is specifically shared and expects other file handles to be

What about invasion of public and private spaces? Sidewalks in my neighborhood are plastered with dozens of political signs. It’s garish and in some cases hinders traffic visibility. Radio stations near me have started using the album art&#

That’s probably true, but I hope not. Decompiling works because fair use copyright law allows it. Decompiling with AI is not creative and I doubt would stand up in court as transformative.

I need to spend some time on it but I purchased two Omada APs to pair with my OpenWRT router thinking roaming would just work with mostly Apple devices. That didn’t happen. I’m hoping some of this article applies and I can improve the situa

Two years ago I was booked for a flight with my wife and four kids. I would say the average of all 6 of us at the time was about 85lbs. Not only that, but because we have to fit in a vehicle with all of our stuff, we pack light, at most one

Didn’t Microsoft pioneer the privilege escalation prompts in Vista in 2007? It was a joke at the time how little things would hijack the entire screen to allow seemingly mundane things. I didn’t ever use Vista personally or professionally,

That’s not correct. Let’s say you put $20M as collateral for an SBLOC loan. The collateral amount and grows at ≥7%/year and you’re charged interest on your loan of 4%/year. You pull $1M/year that goes into the loan. This goes

Depending on what’s going on, have your iron levels checked as well. I was tired all of the time and two doctors diagnosed sleep apnea and put me on a cpap. Didn’t help. I had to take hour long naps every day. A friend of my wife suggested

That’s not how it works, though. Buy, borrow, die doesn’t rely on retail margin rates. It’s closer to 3-5%. Assets are used as collateral for loans that don’t require any repayment until death. Generally the borrower can borrow up to 75% of

You should just go FreeBSD, but expect to have to learn along the way. My FreeBSD install is about 20 years old and still going well. It started as an Athlon 80GB NAS and has grown into 16-core and 12TB with Linux VMs for LLMs on a dedicate

In an average year (not the past 4), 16% would be amazing. That it’s effectively guaranteed and will almost certainly increase every year is icing on the cake. I’d take that trade any day.

Honestly, I don’t know. My hope is that as executive function matures, logic and consequences become more apparent in decision making. Children haven’t developed that yet. I completely get that in a few years, the training wheels are off an

They are but middle school and high school kids are more creative, have less to lose, and have no concept of long term consequences compared to employees. School district IT is no match for kids with unlimited time, creativity, and access.

You’re correct. I meant to say textures, but even that isn’t completely accurate. AppKit used to generate the bitmap directly through CoreGraphics (PDF model). Now it uses Core Animation and Metal and no longer draws the bitmap directly.
