It works so seamlessly on macOS at 6016x3384. What a delight.

Interesting that its HDMI is 2.0 and not 2.1. Hopefully it's still possible (for those that really want) to connect modern 4K TVs at 120 hz via the DisplayPort 1.4 output.

I'm using it ocassionally - whenever I have time to do further WebXR development beyond what I've already done, and when an interesting new immersive video or 3D movie becomes available on it. I'll sometimes use it to relax a

Maybe time passes at a different rate for it, making it an easy "mistake" of not accounting for that for it to make.

I am at Google, but that's probably not relevant since the reason I was curious about this is that my personal website currently implements a git server over HTTPS[1], and git's CLI/API for that is not the friendliest[2]. It

What is the current story for serving jj repositories over HTTPS? Git has https://git-scm.com/book/ms/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protoco... . Does jj have something better, equivalent, or nothing (at this time)

I’ve noticed something like this while playing the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. Most of the time when I was trying to beat a difficult boss, I wasn’t trying to beat it while it’s hard and would take a lot of effort. Instead I was working o

A difference there is no one's claiming the machines in the factories are going to reach AGI levels of intelligence within some years.

It’ll be interesting to see how quickly this chip becomes available in the MacBook Air and Mac mini. So far those still have the previous M4 only. If it doesn’t happen later this week, how long would the wait be? A few months? More?

Glad to see that unlike last time with the M4 release, this time they released M5 in more devices than just the iPad Pro at the same time. That said, there’s still room for improvement: the MacBook Air and Mac mini weren’t updated yet.

A random recent example off the top of my head: view photos in AVIF format. It does work in Photos app, but not in Preview app nor in Messages app somehow. At least this the case on iOS 26 and so I suspect iPadOS 26 too. It works on macOS 2

The claimed 1.6x increase in video game frame rate compared to M4 seems pretty good. Looking forward to seeing it tested out in practice.

It's a very nicely crafted article. It was quite jarring to see a box containing the following text: > If you open this on a computer instead, you will have a chance to play with some emulators! Instead of what? I was under the impr

Yeah, as one data point, https://staticcheck.dev/docs/checks/#SA4006 has existed since 2017.

The toolchain management added in Go 1.21 sounds related to this. Hopefully you’re already aware of it, but if not, see https://go.dev/blog/toolchain .

To demonstrate some contrast (heh) with another data point from someone closer to the other extreme, I’ve owned a very HDR-capable monitor (the Apple Pro Display XDR) since 2020, so that’s 5 years now. Content that takes full advantage of i

Hopefully this is mostly intended to rewrite/polish local history, before it’s pushed upstream.

This seems similar to Sublime Merge. It’ll be interesting to hear a comparison from someone who’s used both.

Have people wondered about a possibility of an advanced life form hiding inside a star? It doesn't seem easy, but there'd be an abundance of energy, and the less advanced life forms are unlikely to interfere.

Has it been considered to spin the fuel via some centrifuge mechanism as a way to remove sloshing from the equation, or is that more complex/expensive/error-prone than just predicting it via simulation?
