Annnnnd calling it.

It’s really basic but we’re quite proud of it.

Of course this doesn't generally happen when peer programming with humans…

Union rules perhaps?

Pretty convinced ChatGPT 4o is an actual useful programming tool now.

Copilot on the other hand is a joke in comparison.

This year’s weight-loss journey. About 10lb in 10 weeks. I’m at least 40lbs overweight. But frankly I’ll take anything I can get.

You can totally spot the Mexico trip in the data though.

Weird that Numbers wont open a 300MB CSV file.

Little Snitch had a big UI upgrade somewhat recently and I'm running it again after many years of being away…

And holy fuck running VS Code with Little Snitch on and oh boy I probably need to put some tape on my webcams.

It's wild how fast SSDs are these days.

I'm SHA256-ing 0.75 of terabyte of data and it's just taking a few minutes.

Looking for a CLI tool to snapshot a directory (tree)… and then compare current state of that tree to a snapshot.

(Can't use git. Diffing ls -laR is too noisy…)

This has to be a pre-existing thing surely.

I guess it’s finally the year of Linux on the desktop.

I UNinstalled Bartender and installed Jordan Baird's Ice open source replacement for it.

I also sponsored their development on github… when I sponsored it - I was the 2nd name in the list… now another 50 folks have also sponsored it.

I guess the shitty behavior of the previous and current Bartender owners annoyed a lot of people.

I don't think I have ever launch the "Epic Games Launcher" (aka the Unreal Editor Launcher…) without it asking me to re-enter my username and password.

I use it so infrequently that it must automatically discard my credentials.

I am not sure the purpose of this security “feature” except annoying users.

I couldn't remember Nigel Farage's name so i searched for "brexit asshole" and it was the first hit.

If Apple releases yet another major iOS and macOS without a dedicated Password manager app instead of that random engineer’s shitty little Shortcut that launches a system preference for you…

You know their commitment to keeping you safe is lip service.

Weird controversial WWDC wish list item that definitely won’t happen:

Deprecate Metal and jump on the Vulkan bandwagon.

Vulkan -> Metal translation libraries are fine but lose some % of performance in translation.

We don’t need Metal AND Vulkan. Folks are writing new Vulkan code first and then either port it to metal or rely on the translation libraries.

Vulkan tools and documentation are excellent. Apple’s metal support - hit and miss.

Truly one of the best tv shows ever made.

People who hire a cleaner to clean yoor houses but don’t spend 2 days before the cleaner comes manically cleaning it so they don’t think you’re a fucking slob…

… why are you so psychotic?

Or alternatively you could boycott this and not support tech journalists who happily carry water for Apple execs and are blatantly worker hostile.

It would be terrible if some folks attending the WWDC keynote on Monday wore red, black, green and white clothing with all those cameras pointing into the audience.

Not even sure where my visionPro is at this point… are folks still using theirs?

I'm going to block ebay and give my router password to someone here at random and ask them to lock me out.

I do not need any more vintage photography gear.

Thanks.

Been asked to fill out another career goals spreadsheet.
