Oh, I haven't considered the possibility of indexing things like Instagram or Discord with this. I am now much more interested than before

Remembering my teachers 20 years ago talking about staying in school grading until 8-9 PM, I wonder if these things are a symptom instead of a disease

Qwen-3.8 for me automatically set copyright footer on a website to 2025 and thought Astro 5.x is the latest version which first came out in December 2024

Anyone have experience with embedded Swift or know any interesting embedded projects running on Swift?

One fun example is this Playdate game: https://news.play.date/news/four-corners-swift/

Here's a more comprehensive list of different platform examples: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-embedded-examples

(About?) the same list in a nicely formatted way: https://www.swift.org/get-started/embedded/

Thanks!

Interesting tidbit about not having the Foundation library. Every Swift project I worked on had to import that, so I imagine it's annoying to lose that

I find it amusing that their excuse is that the AI agent forged the commit apparently. I don't what's worse - if that's true or if that's what they have come up with as the excuse

The don’t tread on me person is fascinating. I wonder if they wrote the software from their phone using github codespaces in browser?

i opened it and thought "neat, I will add to my reading list" but instead found myself reading and reading until the end. I got really hooked by the shell inflation part

i wonder if M7 will not have elements in it that help with x86 to ARM on the fly translation that M1 had now that macOS 27 and beyond is ARM only with no Rosetta

I bet it will, because cross-platform virtualization and containerization is a boon for Apple. Also, Rosetta will stay for older programs (esp. games) and some Intel specific frameworks per Apple's docs.

I bet with all the transistor count increase, that circuitry is a blip.

Apple can’t wait to ditch rosetta2, and dump all the development work on fex for supporting old legacy x86 software.

oh right, forgot about virtualization. Apple probably still need those customers that spend half of their day in Parallels Desktop

Also, being able to run x86 Linux binaries is important for developers:

you can add square corners with a terminal command afaik https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/want-the-bigger-window-...

A vibrant ecosystem of full-featured 3rd party apps able to offer unique spin on the UX, tailored to different preferences of their user base who are willing to pay is a good thing. Not an indicator of a problem.

Now for Twitter/X we get One (1) ad-infested first party app requiring login/tracking, an unusably crippled logged out web view, and an API exposing a limited subset of data with a tiny free tier.

Is that really better than 10 years ago?
