I know a thing or two about AirPods. App developer, security researcher. 🏳️🌈🧩

This is why I don’t ship my Mac apps in the App Store anymore
Fun fact: the "EnablePasteboardPrivacyDeveloperPreview" defaults flag on macOS doesn't just enable confirmation for accessing the clipboard, it moves the responsibility for an app's main menu from the app's own process into a separate system process (TrustedUIService). This means that the contents of the menus have to be serialized to be sent over XPC to that system process, breaking things such as custom SF Symbols in menu icons. I guess that's part of why it's still just a developer preview.
Steve Troughton-Smith@viticci I think I have an answer, too: programming languages provide the highly-enforced structure and sanity-checking that LLMs need to excel. It's like the (defunct) left brain vs right brain idea — one side for creativity, one side for logic. A dreamer, and a thinker. Together, it keeps concepts well enough in check to create some amazing things.
I think we don't (yet) have that for prose, or music. But I could see it being possible, if we invent and teach the right abstraction layers
If you have a Mac app that displays its own icon somewhere in the UI, it can end up showing the incorrect icon if the user's icon style changes while the app is running. Here's a SwiftUI view that can handle that and always display the icon that matches the current system style: https://gist.github.com/insidegui/686ae55087542b430be976918418d129
John SundellSuper excited to bring back the Stacktrace podcast (again!), with monthly episodes starting... right now! 😀
Recap: I vibecoded (code unseen, no plan) a 3D editor/renderer that has a scene graph, editing controls, primitives and gizmos, materials, procedural terrain and water, and hardware-accelerated Metal raytracing with soft shadows, clouds and bounce lighting, that runs on Mac and iPad.
Tool: Codex 5.3 Medium
Time: About a day's worth of work has gone into it
Igor FerreiraI was reading a post made by @_inside where he demonstrates the usage of CloudKit for content hosting and feature flags.
This triggered something in my mind: if CloudKit has an HTTP API, it can be used as a feature flag control in Kotlin Multiplatform solutions.
Simon B. StøvringThis post by @_inside is THE post to read if you want to understand CloudKit security roles (and how to assign them!)

Thanks, Gui. You're a lifesaver.
