Anna DorofeevaOne thousand years of 😳
From an early ninth-century manuscript (Basel, Universitätsbiblitohek, N I 1:3c, fol. 2r).
Arne BrasseurIt's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.
Steve Troughton-SmithHere's one for the icons-in-menus haters on macOS Tahoe:
defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO
It even preserves the couple of instances you do want icons, like for window zoom/resize

Nvidia's next frame-gen tech goes way beyond upscaling, and not in a good way

Alison CreeksideSo the US knew the location of the Iranian ship off Sri Lanka bc both the US and Iran were part of a military exercise hosted by India which the US pulled out of at the last minute, presumably so as to bomb the unarmed Iranian ship.

JA WestenbergEquilibrium is not the same as a good outcome. The economy found equilibrium after the Industrial Revolution too, and for several decades that equilibrium included child labour in textile mills and life expectancy in Manchester hovering around 25. What matters is how much unnecessary suffering we allow between here and there, and whether the new normal we settle into is one worth living in.

A soft-landing manual for the second gilded age
By the summer of 1945, West Berlin had been reduced to rubble. Allied bombing, the Soviet ground assault and Hitler's insistence on Götterdämmerung had destroyed roughly a third of the city's buildings and left most of the rest damaged. There was no functioning government, no reliable electricity, no clean water
Gabriele SveltoIn other words up to 10% of all the crashes Firefox users see are not software bugs, they're caused by hardware defects! If I subtract crashes that are caused by resource exhaustion (such as out-of-memory crashes) this number goes up to around 15%. This is a bit skewed because users with flaky hardware will crash more often than users with functioning machines, but even then this dwarfs all the previous estimates I saw regarding this problem. 3/5

And today people are running the amazing Qwen3.5 accelerated on an m1, this is insane:

TIL about TUIKit, a Swift library for writing curses-like terminal UI programs using SwiftUI-like result builders (and without linking to ncurses) https://tuikit.dev/
big fan of the custom theming they put into their API docs https://docs.tuikit.dev/documentation/tuikit/
