Companies need to stop treating personal information as a private asset and start treating it as a public liability.

Apparently #macOS 26 has a bug that leads to massive CPU usage and lagginess in apps until you terminate and restart them. The lagginess creeps in over time, until the affected app is restarted again.

I ran into this with #iTerm2 but the issue has been reported already months ago in macOS betas with various apps.

Workaround is to: defaults write -g NSAutoFillHeuristicControllerEnabled -bool false

You will lose some autofill functionality by doing this, but apps slowing down over time is quite annoying, too.

#Apple quality control leaves things to be desired yet again.

I’m convinced that the cost in terms of developer hours wasted by changing double quoted strings to single quoted just to satisfy Rubocop, exceeds the savings in terms of the postulated increased cognitive load and potential for defects by an astronomical amount.
Premature Design Is Not Design

Resist the temptation to guess, and let the code tell you what it needs.

Is there a single "dev tools"/infra product that does usage based pricing that doesn't feel like they're absolutely rinsing you? lol

Apple Turnover

Pixelmator Pro release notes over time. Slightly changed since being acquired by Apple.

Why do we not have binary builds of ruby available for common *nix/mac architectures? I've read thru https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/42, and best I can tell seems like a lack of eng + $$$ for the build side.

Its a hard problem I know, I know. But hell, rvm used to do it, somehow, and I think it worked somehow via 2k+ lines of bash and their own builds.

It would make a _lot_ of things easier and faster across build pipelines, deployment, simple CLIs, and dev bootstrap if it was a real thing.

Binary packages · Issue #42 · rbenv/ruby-build

I'd like to add binary package support to ruby-build. I'd guess that most ruby-build installations are on one of two platforms—Mac OS X x86_64 or Linux x86_64—and most people really don't need to c...

Next time someone asks me "why don't we just have the AI write the software" I will ask them "why don't we just have the AI do the management?" or "why don't we have the AI do product management?" or "why can't the AI be the CEO?"
