The students in the computer lab had no guarantee that they wouldn't, say, download a copy of Napster infected with the CIH virus later. The fact that they were not under imminent threat from some kind of Hollywood-style network worm d

I've bounced off NMS several times, but each time I come back, I reason that they've added so many systems now that the procedural generation must finally feel genuinely deep and interesting. And maybe it has, but the first 60 min

Ha, I was going to describe it the same way. The image is there in the buffer, you have full bit-level access to it; the only difference is that there's a firewall preventing it from being rendered to the primary display. Dreaming allo

Both can be true. AI SDLCs simply compress the same incentives that were always there: you could invest in optimizing your architecture and improving your UX, neither of which make for big bullet points that close sales, or you could invest

My reaction was perhaps not as strongly felt as yours, but I agree that it discourages me from reading further when it's obvious I'm reading slop rather than something a human considered. "These are photographs of the device,

As someone whose trading is mostly based on vibes via Reuters, X, and the Apple Stocks app, this is a fun dip in the deep end. The tiling UI is quite sensible once you get the hang of it. The one thing I can't figure out is how to set

As a point of comparison: Samsung has sold smartphone chips and later OLED displays to Apple for over fifteen years. Deals like this that look awkward from the outside but are mutually beneficial to both participants exist everywhere.

I had always assumed it was a sort of quasi-religious practice as the same gesture is typically seen at shrines. Not once in 30 years of consuming Japanese culture did I ever think it was directed at the chef!

Mostly just that it's the platform I'm most familiar with and felt reasonably confident in the TAM. Partly the challenge, too, though! If I were designing within the constraints of a Gnome WM, the result would probably look totall

For the past four months, I've been building a window manager for MacOS based on my 2009 concept video 10/GUI. I've overcome about a dozen "there's simply no way to do this in MacOS and I have to abandon the project

OP or dang should change the link to the DF retraction. While the app’s author has apparently produced some quality products, this puts a big asterisk next to that reputation.

Look up "wireless printing" in the App Store sometime. As best I can tell, one or two actors have spammed the entire category with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of subscription-heavy repackagings of CUPS drivers as iOS apps. They all

In this case it’s actual malice, that the streaming stick is set up for residential proxy and ad fraud straight from the factory. But incompetence can lead to the same place if it’s a poorly engineered, un-maintained device with an old vers

Oh, that's pretty clever! Create a dummy display that never actually renders anywhere and use it as the holding area for "temporarily hidden" windows. Does the dummy display have to live within the desktop geometry (as in the

This just became my new favorite daily game. The only thing I’d change is the time resolution: 1750-2000 should probably have the same number of divisions as 1000-3000 BC.

Thanks for the corroboration. Something that apparently might be possible is using the private framework for Spaces to offload windows to a "holding Space"; I haven't tried it because it felt just a little too hacky for somet

I’ve been building a window manger for macOS that involves hiding windows offscreen, but I’ve found AccessibilityKit clamps position writes at the screen edge, so I’ve had to settle for allowing a 1px-wide sliver (plus shadow) in the corner

Sketch lost the market to Figma, and now Figma is losing the market to vibe coding. I'm not sure what the value proposition of Sketch is these days apart from local, non-cloud editing (although you can even get that with a pretty decen

As bad as this is, it’s worth noting that this is the same incident that was widely reported earlier this month. Sony has only rugpulled hundreds of purchased titles from customers once this year. So far.

This is not really intended as a product you will use today. This is an intentionally provocative statement on the future of work, where your keyboard is not supplemented by, but rather replaced by a dozen or so buttons for prompting (via

It could still compete with Unreal! If this really is the end of the line for IdTech, ZeniMax should gift the whole thing to the Blender Foundation. I would pitch it as: - Huge tax write-off - Commoditizes their complement - If it succeeds,
