Sharing because it's interesting:

CSMWrap is an EFI application designed to be a drop-in solution to enable legacy BIOS booting on modern UEFI-only (class 3) systems.

> "It achieves this by wrapping a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) build of the SeaBIOS project as an out-of-firmware EFI application, effectively creating a compatibility layer for traditional PC BIOS."

@dimsumthinking it used to be possible in project builder in earlier OSX times.

The way a bundled app is executed and can bundle whole runtimes (swift early days used to bundle the whole shebang), I would assume it is indeed possible. The app bundle rules haven’t changed much.

But I have an inkling it wouldn’t work without a more permissive setting for XProtect.

Something like https://medium.com/swift2go/embedding-python-interpreter-inside-a-macos-app-and-publish-to-app-store-successfully-309be9fb96a5

Might give you early pointers

Embedding a Python interpreter inside a MacOS / iOS app, and publishing to the App Store…

The struggle was real

OH: I don’t understand why this graphics card isn’t powerful enough. I used to mine etherium on it.

That’s the ciiiiiiiiircle of liiiiiiife

Super excited to bring back the Stacktrace podcast (again!), with monthly episodes starting... right now! 😀

205: “The 2026 edition” | Stacktrace

On this first episode of the 2026 season, John and Rambo discuss how they’re using AI agents when working on different projects, and how to approach learning new programming languages in 2026.

@mikaelacaron been asking myself that for the decade of my tenure for the curriculum.
What you want is someone curious, trustworthy, and with the right methodology. Every other skill is learned in the course of doing the work.
So for interviews, i asked them to show me a failed project of theirs, maybe like their WoW guild, or a DiY stool, or a short movie they never released, and asked them to walk me through it from idea to certificate of demise, and grade them based of what they had to learn, from where, and why they decided to stop.

Reflecting on all the times in my career as a software engineer I have been told that, yes, things were a bit unfair to me as a woman, but that I was being a trailblazer, I was the one discovering and establishing the path that would enable others to follow.

But you go back to the 70s and you see the same number of women programmers, being fed that exact same line
And in the 80s
and the 90s
and so on to today. The "trailblazer" narrative is a lie told by managers to make themselves feel better

I do not know what kind of marketing wizard decided that a push notification should open an autoplaying video with the volume at full blast, but they should be flogged, then forced, along with their managers who approved that decision, to babysit babies and toddlers who are trying to sleep for… let’s say a week. And of course be bombarded by random things that startle the lil mites.
@glebd I hear you. Too many idiosyncrasies and inherited baggage, most of the time
