Am i impressed that exiftool has a 61-page man page? I am.

& because programming is its own punishment-reward, hooray for scripting mdls.

(i can't think about all the lost hours spent making LG when they could be fixing a zillion little things that actually help.)

The Finder has this nice feature that when in list mode with a collection of images, you can have image-specific columns like dimension. But it won't work with png images, even though it clearly knows its dimension. Bug? Odd oversight?

Right in Xcode 26.3's demo project, proudly using liquid glass to create this see-thru weather sheet, we see how LG adds *nothing* and how the content is now muddier. Do they just not see what their lying eyes are lying about? ("I get this beautiful view" he says.)

The Results view in Xcode 26 is so much less useful now that the results are no longer near the line of code that produced them. I mean... that was the main innovation! I can print() for myself, tyvm.

And it auto-unrolls objects, and adds these super unhelpful icons. # = number or boolean, double-squares for arrays?, E = enum, birds = swift objects... but it's just noise.

This almost negates the whole reason I use them, and I use them extensively, but starting to question it now. </rant, sry>

I noticed this back in beta, but why does Xcode even have a fast refresh rate, let alone a glitchy one? A(nother awful) side effect of LG?

How on earth is this an improvement? The change to have navigation blocks on the left be their own floating embedded window is awful. What was once easy to understand is now something that makes me constantly look at non-functional color patches and have to guess if it's meaningful. A big step backwards for HCI.

Asked a question to Google's LLM, got an answer which I was suspicious of. Did nothing more than hit "Dive deeper..." button, only to see the opposite answer. It's exhausting.

actual output from a supposedly good coding llm. at least it's saying the unspoken truth.
