I mean, they haven't announced the non-Pro iPhone 18 yet, so keep the hope alive!

Thank you for showing this. I'll echo what some others say: if you're claiming to be faster than rsync, you should demonstrate why front-and-center. There have been decades of documentation on how rsync optimizes transfers, so it&

it was the first Miyazaki I saw, in college, and it blew me away. I still occasionally listen to Joe Hisaichi's soundtrack.

As marketing goes, I appreciated the Reddit AMA [1] where "Coyote" responds in-character and only via signs. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1w58qjb/hi_reddit_i... My favourite is

Thanks for reminding me to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit again. It's one of, like, 5 DVD/Blu-Rays I own, because of how excellent it is.

I tried it a few years ago, following all the "It's actually good now!" stories. But a few hours into the tutorial, at a point of yet another "go gather 20 wolf Pel^H^H Ores from that other planet and bring it back"

You are, I'm afraid, in the minority. Apple produces a "small" phone (S or Mini series) only every few years because that's enough to saturate that market.

The fact that it's news that a human beat an AI, post-AlphaGo, demonstrates the current norm.

To reinforce your point, by default on macOS you can't use Tab to select different options in a dialog box. You have to enable that in System Settings -> Keyboard -> "Keyboard navigation" which is off by default.

This is off-topic, but I am reminded of the sci-fi novel Eternity by Greg Bear, in which the protagonist Olmy downloads a copy of an alien Jart mind into his nanowear to study it. Turns out this was a trojan horse, and the Jart escapes the

It is a popular story and I love it, but Tim Curry himself has denied it: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/movies/muppet-treasure-is... > Curry emphatically denied that interpretation. “I saw the M

While the idea of data-deduplication does apply everywhere, this specifically depends on the APFS CoW data feature, so it's not applicable outside of macOS (or APFS Volumes)

There are two aspects to compute performance: latency and throughput. There has been a ton of work to improve throughput, but that's often come at the cost of latency, because a great technique to improve throughput is batching, to avo

Fun fact: the Jeff Dean Facts was started by Kenton Varda (kentonv around here [1]), as a joke inside Google. He has expressed regret that it eclipsed Sanjay Ghemawat, with whom Jeff Dean basically did pair-programming with. [1] also known

Granted, Apple does do this weird thing where you're invited to use your personal iCloud (/Apple) account for work-related things (I suspect because they're just bad at supporting multiple accounts simultaneously). As part

I suspect SPF is used because it's cheaper than performing cryptographic checks for each email. A (cached) DNS lookup and IP check on a connection is comparatively cheaper.

I want to cheer (again) for my 2020 Ford Escape. Its infotainment design was a significant differentiator that led to my selection after testing a dozen different models across all US manufacturers. It has Carplay/Android Auto, natural

I wonder how they achieve the lighting effect from the banner picture? It doesn't look like the Adafruit panel has backlighting built-in, and there isn't anything added in the project.

I've been hearing that for years, and I'm still waiting. Incidentally, my 2020 Ford Escape has buttons, which was a strong selector. I hear it's because it was designed for the European market (as the Ford Kuga)
