How long did you use the new phone for? I was a mini advocate for a very long time, then changed to a 17 pro for work, it took me around solid 2 months to get used to it. Now the mini feels comically small. iOS26 did a lot to eliminate the

For me it’s just as unbelievable that the second hand book stores would sell rare or irreplaceable books at bulk prices. If they do they are really not good at what they are doing and I wouldn’t blame any startup big or small to destroy it,

I think a truly open source OS and phone is what both Facebook, OpenAI, Amazon, Netflix, Epic, Microsoft, Spotify and many others need to get out of the grips of Apple. It’s quite ironic that all these companies pour billions in failed atte

Same here, but Liquid Glass has been a headache lately. Google really dropped the ball here, but to their credit it almost feels like Liquid Glass was an intentional move by Apple to cause as much friction for cross platform frameworks as p

I’ve worked on some award winning apps in the past, our experience with SwiftUI is it makes it really easy to develop a basic average looking app. As soon as you need something non-standard, you have to drop down to UIKit and figure out how

I think open source is the right move here. The great thing about Flutter is you get the declarative UI to build a lot of standard screens easily but you can always drop down to lower levels, inspect the standard components, mix and match w

Native apps suck too. i cannot list 10 native mac apps that are truly great, including Apple’s own. To me these days native on desktop means web, not Appkit. I can resize the whole interface with a common shortcut, I can select text trivial

Have both and none is falling apart. Both have their advantages, the Sample is a more robust and also just bland, KO2 is more fun and interesting. It’s comparable to Nintendo vs Sony, both excellent in their own way.

Unfortunately a very large part of the population is living their digital life inside closed platforms nowadays and this is getting even worse with younger generations who literally think tiktok and instagram is _the_ internet. On these pla

I think Ive deserves some respect. His portfolio makes it clear what type of car he will design, same with Newson. It’s Ferrari’s leadership that has to be held accountable for the decision, my guess is they wanted to break into a brand new

Go to modular meets, music instrument expos like Superbooth, dj sets and live concerts. I met all my best friends this way, everybody is a record collector, beat maker or techno producer. Record conventions are also fun, after couple of occ

Couple of things that helped me in similar situations: - volunteer: find a place you can help others, go cook for the homeless, work with other volunteers, not only are you doing good and meeting new people, you also appreciate what you hav

I rarely feel that any more, especially with the latest liquid glass updates. I used to work on high profile native apps, but embraced Elektron after Figma destroyed Sketch, the supposedly superior native alternative. Electron apps run fine

Berghain puts stickers on your phone cameras, it’s pretty non intrusive while substantially improving the party experience. I didn’t see a single phone in the air on the dancefloor. It was quite refreshing, felt like partying in the 2000s.

It looks like they made a decision to include icons for every menu item and the developers for each app had to come up with an icon association for all menu items. I’m sure they realized along the way that this was a bad idea, maybe it was

Electron is usually a business choice, it’s performant enough at the fraction of the cost. it has very little to do with developers being lazy.

After signing up with Apple sign-in, the app fails to load favorites, chats, fails to upload images and fails to submit issues. Something to look into.

I tried the app and dragging down on the content doesn’t dismiss the keyboard interactively like Messages, Safari or even ChatGPT does. That is usually the telltale sign that an app is not fully native, I haven’t see any cross platform fram

I’m curious to hear where you think this is a showstopper. I’ve been testing some Flutter apps lately and other than some mismatches in platform UI elements they have been smooth. I wonder what you would think of apps like Kagi News.

That is one way to look at them. The other is more akin to a parasite, wait for small companies to invest and innovate and once a product is proven in the marketplace, copy it. I don't really want to judge them, cheap music gear is cer

When I was working with TextKit years ago I was constantly using the Hopper decompiler on iOS SDKs to understand the internal workings of these frameworks. Documentation is sparse and calling functions in the right order resulted in big dif

It’s pretty standard for electronic / sample based music acts to have live bands assembled for touring after the completely sequenced studio album takes off. It’s a hit or miss depending on how well the musicians can reinterpret the s

The fact that they reversed the change so easily proves the point that there wasn’t a good reason for it in the first place. I feel the same about Liquid Glass, so far I have not seen a good explanation on what actual problem does it solve,

The Tesla app was using location services when the screenshot was taken. It’s a similar indicator to camera activity, basically a privacy feature in iOS.

Excluding their cables Apple products held up incredibly well for me. Maybe I’m just lucky but they outlasted every single Android phone and non Apple laptop. It would be interesting to see actual statistics about the average lifespan of ea

PRNG = pseudo-random number generator. I think it would have made sense to spell it out in the first sentence and go with the acronym from then on. Like the author does it with multiply-with-carry (MWC). Makes it more readable and consisten

The first time I registered to Mastodon it autocapitalized my user name on the web form. Thus I ended up with a capitalized name. I didn’t like that as all my Social handles are lower case, thus deleted the account and registered again only

I used to use Apple Music but when my Credit Card expired I missed two months payment and Apple happily deleted all of my playlists and library. I don’t think they realise how bad this is, but I will never use it or subscribe ever again.

Before Three.js there was Papervision3D for Flash written in ActionScript. While it was not a direct port I imagine a lot of ideas were already established and pretty straightforward to implement in Javascript. Happy to see Three.js going s
