It's not that it's difficult to turn off TAA: it's that so many modern techniques do not work without temporal accumulation and anti-aliasing. Ray tracing? Temporal accumulation and denoising. Irradiance cache? Temporal accum

A first good step is getting rid of Haskell's obscure and impenetrable syntax, and checking implementations that would be more readable. Kotlin's Arrow library hits a good middle ground between FP wizardry and readability, and the

ICEBlock is actively lying, is not open source and is confidently misleading many. While I don't want to assume regular fed honeypot, we can at the very least be certain that it's an app made by an Apple Kool-Aid drinking person.

That's not the initial point. The point is that UI tests are so much easier and less brittle if they're going to be using the accessibility tree, rather than relying on a few selectors. click("Enable Frobzinator") is inf

MSVC was laughed at for only providing a stable C++ ABI in 2019. Swift is not immune to the same criticism, and has even fewer excuses for it: we knew for a long time stable ABIs are critical for interop. (And interop with Swift is still la
