   Looking at your comment history - it does seem you have an agenda. I don't get it. Yet your references are mostly anecdotes from random forums that back your claim. You'll find that for any OS or any piece of software if you go lo

   My experience along with thousands others (incl 100 other Macs at work) is that of stability. You're saying the opposite based on some Reddit threads. Not sure what your intentions are. Yes, modern OS's might have issues in runtim

   Seeing there are thousands running those apps (incl. Freeform) without memory leaks, it could be something else at play here.

   I mean if there are faulty apps, but where do you get this idea from? The amount of IDE's, docker containers, all kinds of stuff you can run on macOS in just 16GB is astounding. And I've used this OS on the desktop for 23 years.

   macOS is generally pretty amazing at efficient memory usage and VM (virtual memory subsystem) handling. So even a 8GB machine can run pretty impressive workloads without having the user think the machine is underpowered.

   Dropped a .ps in there, it's just stuck "rendering".

   Exactly, this should just be a regular app with an optional menu bar option for those who want to switch it on.

    Nothing but respect for Bridges. Also happens to be my all time favorite actor. This looks like a fascinating project and a genuine attempt to make films better.

    Interestingly, if you're in a EU timezone or near it, Github is normally pretty good. It's mostly affecting the Americans.

    I would maybe not go that far, look at ADA, SPARK etc.

    "The alternative languages" - in this case you're talking about C, 99% of the time. So let's talk about that. Well written C code, especially for the purpose of writing and continuing to maintain mature GNU coreutils, is

    Ironically, I was thinking that the Github downtime is an American view in and of itself. For us living in the European time zones, Github is hardly down during our business hours. It's mostly down during US business hours, then demand

    Fair enough, but this is not a big bug. I don't think many people use TextEdit in 2026.

    Check out the new video. I did a full screen screenshot now. https://imgur.com/a/bVznT02 It seems to be adding it to TextEdit but it disappears when exporting to PDF. Is this a TextEdit.app bug?

    I hope they do. I use only the basics of HomeKit, a couple switches and CCTV. I'd like to expand and use it for more stuff. So it's important Home is stable.

    Granted, there's a lot of crap apps out there. But properly built apps are a world apart from your typical PWA's or web sites (or even really good ones)

    The worst part is that several of the replies are probably AI generated too. So AI feeds AI, essentially. Is this going end forums like HN? I hope not.

    You sound convincing, but it also reads very AI generated. A lot of people will stop reading half way.

    Funny, I've used Claude Code and also the app, but I've never even thought about whether there's a web UI.

    I'm worried anything less than xhigh is insufficient though. What do you do?

    I don't see why not. Maybe it should be on the same layer going forward - for true cloud compute (including on-premise cloud)

    Okay it sets the machine up, but not the underlying host machine though.

    Then why can't we put a wrapper onto systemd and make that into a light weight k8s?
