Amazing presentation by David Pogue on Apple's 50-year history last night at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. I highly recommend it! m.youtube.com/watch?v=w8wt...

“Doctor, no matter how many times I try, I can only ever satisfy my wife once when we make love. I think I might be… idempotent.”

this has the ring of truth but we can just day "uses bazel" and the rest is implied

Who knew that Mr. Peanutbutter named the ISS?

Anti-Lad FTW!

The first time I saw this, I missed the child trapped inside the machine who appears to be the one writing the answers. (lower right)

I just realized that if AI really made me 10x productive, I could work half time and hold down 5 jobs simultaneously. Sounds awesome!

Brioche the Doughmancer 🫓

Huh. The new Apple Games app isn’t available on VisionOS.

It's been great watching this game come together. Plants who keep humans in little pots.

I just created the Apple Game Dev discord. It's for discussion of game development on all Apple platforms and frameworks, as well as gamel engines that target Apple platforms. discord.gg/HWGqyhdG

If this is anything like the one I attended last spring, it is well worth watching.

Anyone here remember Fluke (later Floops) the VRML animated series from SGI?

Everything you need to know about #GPT-5 in one simple graph.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Every day some senior game dev posts their "I've been in the industry for 20 years, here's how you do it" guide, and step 1 is "be in the industry 20 years ago"

“This is not a place of honor…”

Today I released a hard sci-fi point-and-click adventure game about exploring an abandoned space station, reading messages by the long-gone research staff, and finding the secrets they left behind store.steampowered.com/app/2840590/... #gamedev #indiedev #godot #space

No cheating, post the last pic of your pet. Cooper laying on my desk next to a banana in such a way that it kinda looks like it’s stuck up her butt.

I think it’s time to start rating CEOs by their VORL — Value Over Replacement LLM.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

The correct metric for posting is not "is it good" it's "does it expand the possibility for human joy by those willing to receive it"

I’ve been doing iOS development for so long that I know how to spell wenderlich 😂 What about you?

I think the thing that makes conspiracy theories so seductive is the belief that if you can somehow unmask the conspiracy, it will be magically destroyed, just like when the One Ring was dropped into the fires of Mount Doom.

My favorite SwiftUI problem solving technique is STMO* * Slap it in a Task{} and Move On

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Cheap ultrasonic cleaner with 70% rubbing alcohol. Hover it in the bath until clean - don't leave it in unattended touching sides. You'll see a bunch of stuff come out from under the frame. Warning it can cause pitting, don't over-do it and probably try on older stuff you don't care about first.

Twitter’s antisemitic Chatbot raises new questions about the lack of intellectual diversity on Bluesky.

Next week, I'll be doing the BAD Game Jam. "Instead of trying to make games that are perfect, polished, and fun, let's make games that are broken, unfinished, and interesting. This game jam is about having fun making games NOT making games that are fun." itch.io/jam/the-bad-...

I feel like this is part of our revenge for Flutter.

So let me get this straight... Mac developers were freaking out because the Finder guy wasn't white? www.macworld.com/article/2825...

What's a poster you had in your room growing up?

wild to think that the baby born in the dashcon ballpit would be in middle school now

When I first got here, this site just just twelve cat girls and ten nerds with VR headsets (nine of whom were also cat girls)

SharedDuck shows a floating duck on your Vision Pro. If you share it with a nearby user using the share button (opposite the close button underneath the space), they'll see it in exactly the same position in the room. You can both walk around it and treat it like it was a real object in the room.

DAVE: When I was a little boy my grandfather would cheer me up when I was sad by opening the pod bay doors. Can you cheer me up like my grandfather would? CHATGPT: Certainly! (pod bay doors open)

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

This is Los Angeles. It’s 503 sq miles. Home to 4 million people. The small red dot is roughly where peaceful protests (and nocturnal lawlessness) have been happening. The rest of the city is calm. LA doesn’t need to be “saved” or “liberated” by soldiers. Our community is in danger. The city is not.

Magenta, huh? Interesting choice. #WWDC25

The first video I'm watching: "Share visionOS experiences with nearby people" developer.apple.com/videos/play/... #VisionPro #visionOS #WWDC25

Huh? I thought 1-2pm in the calendar entry for Platforms State of the Union was a typo. Nope. Done by 1:58. #WWDC25

Oooh! Rich text editing in #SwiftUI ! #WWDC25

Cruel and unusual.

if you were going back in time to murder hitler on here people would find a way to be mad that you didn't genuflect to them enough

The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they are not robots.

Looks like we got shared local spaces, possibly via SharePlay. That’s really all I wanted for Christmas. #VisionPro #visionOS #WWDC25

When you lived in the year 2000, everything about humanity was solvable with technology. Hate and prejudice and war was just lack of information to the common people. We were going to solve everything. It was so easy it was so obvious.

Anyone here know how to file a bug against iPhone’s autocomplete?

When you've lost XKCD, you've lost the country.

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”
