The Ultra 2 was sold to me as the watch that can do Siri without network connectivity. That was very useful to me to leave reminders for stuff I think about while on a run without the phone. 3 years later, Apple releases the OS 27 versions

Once this was announced a few years back, I was very skeptical that a few dots on the screen would be all that's needed to help me. And yet, apparently it was. It's not perfect, but the dots help me to go from instantly feeling si

it's also very tricky to do given the current architecture on the server side where one single-threaded process handles the connection and uses (for all intents and purposes) sync io. In such a scenario, listening (and acting) on cance

Firefox is not in a position where it is the only browser allowed to run on a platform. On iOS, you’re either doing a native app, sharing 30% of your income with Apple, or you’re restricted to Safari’s feature set. No browser in iOS can use

what's especially strange to me is that in the more distant past, he was a pretty normal guy - at least as normal as any other linux user. Heck, he had a super great podcast (Linux Action Show). Something changed in the 2014ish time-fr

It wasn't meant as a rebuttal. Just as a point of thought: By showing that at least one application doesn't exhibit the problem, I thought I was showing that the problem might not be related to the Tahoe redesign at all but might

As much as I like to hate on a new OS like the next person, I think it's worth pointing out we're probably not seeing the full picture here: When trying to reproduce the problem as shown in the article by resizing the Safari windo

One thing that’s not quite clear to me is how safe it is to generate v7 uuids on the client. That’s one of the nice properties of v4 uuids: you can make up a primary key of a new entity directly on the client and the database can use it dir

I understand this as an argument that it’s better to be down for everyone than have a minority of users switch browsers. I’m not convinced by that makes sense. Now ideally you would have the resources to serve all users and all the AI bots
