I tried re-indexing my rear derailleur yesterday and now the bike doesn’t shift to the smallest and the 3 largest cogs so…I’m glad I don’t have to make a living doing this, because i dont think id be able to afford food.

In 2009 every financial institution promised to not make the same mistake and put up guardrails. Today, they lowered the limits for entering an IPO and made it so that your 401k will buy it automatically, effectively chaining your savings to a rug pull.

“Font parsers process data from untrusted sources, making the TrueType hinting interpreter a security-critical attack surface” Its good there are people who understand security, because this would never ever occur to me.

There is something poetic about Anthropic running marketing around how powerful the Mythos model is, so much so they can’t ever release it because it would mean the end of every security measure ever, only to release it, it being shit, and naming Fable, which means a short, fictional story.

Unstructured thoughts about WWDC so far: 1. I feel like this year is the year we got mostly improvements over new features, and I think it's great. I've been saying we need a down round for the past few years and feel like this can help the platforms. 2. AI - well, was there a segment where

Great libraries are *opinionated*

Wait wait what does await? someAsyncThing() mean? I’m not at the computer now so can’t check, but just saw this in SOTU and never ever seen it before. It was inside a defer block, is that relevant here?

I’m sorry but this is how I imagine a person who’s looking at their boots and backpack directly in front of them on a table and asks Siri if the boots will fit inside instead of just trying it

I swear if they come on the WWDC stage tomorrow and start pushing AI down or throats I’ll lose it

I mean no CEO ever had to keep saying that the printing press will revolutionize the transfer of information in the next 6-12 months, it just did it. But yeah, AGI next month, out of work in 6!

WWDC is a great time to get excited about features, APIs, and generally have fun nerding out with other people! But we cannot also ignore Apple's willful collaboration with fascism. Because it threatens those same people that use and make it all.

I'm gonna repeat myself, but seeing content creators who helped me get into iOS, for which I'm infinitely grateful and had always immense respect for, jump on the AI hype train and join AI companies is heartbreaking.

Is there a way to determine if a PR was created using AI and automatically reject it? Ideally a check with runs any time a PR is updated.

There is an inverse correlation between how rich the society is and how much people try to make their IKEA furniture look custom/built in.

I often shit on Apple family handling, such as app approve messages being completely broken and unusable, but today…today I was forced to use Microsoft family management and…what’s the best way to unalive myself?

Just curious, wouldn’t you expect the big ass checkmark button to actually save the thing to calendar? Because it doesn’t.

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah, about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Not racism and homophobia.

Leaving Medium to go work at OpenAI is like leaving the Third Reich to go work for the USSR.

All the companies that were telling us that we need to make abstractions over backends because what if we decide to switch from SQL to a graph database later are now locking themselves to a single AI provider and firing people. Make it make sense.

Btw how bad of a decision maker you have to be to make “lets move from choosing from a pool of literally millions of people to locking myself down to 2 AI companies” sound good inside your head.

Riding 150km in 30km/h and posting it with “coffee ride” caption is peak male behavior

Holy sh*t the new Canyon (road) drop from today is so good

People in tech really need take a chill pill with the whole “I’m so important, my job is so important” stance. Like buddy, we are not saving lives (well, most of us I guess). There never ever was a pilot asking for an engineer because they need to implement binary search or the plane will crash.

In the future there WILL again be a person who gets both the mountains as well as the points jersey on Tour de France. I think we are close to it with Pogačar now, but not quite there yet. Or are we? #TourDeFrance

První den using this, zatím necítím potřebu hajlovat a nemám doma desetitisíce prospektů s auty, uvidíme co zítra

It makes life so much better when you treat your training as you main mission and your job as a side quest.

Letting anybody write an authorized biography about you is sociopathic and should disqualify you from ever holding any position of importance.

There was an interesting take on social media interactions system I would love to explore sometimes, but I can’t find the article now. Essentially you had capital and every upvote cost you, which made the upvoted user more visible and yourself a little less visible so people had to think […]

You think state management is difficult and then you have to handle timing dependent remote state with sync to multiple clients for a shared session and…I’ll take local state any time over this.

Tell me if this makes sense or not: I would never spend 3k on a bike myself. But, if I ask people for money for my birthday for a 1k bike and I add 3k on top, thus getting a 4k bike, it now makes sense, even though my out of pocket was the same. Does this makes sense just in my head or…?

People are now claiming that the Pope saying Trump shouldn’t wipe out a whole civilization is wrong and that he shouldn’t interfere in politics, because that’s not his place. Bitch…pick up a book. That’s literally the only reason he exists, to interfere in politics. Like that was the whole point.

good algorithmic work tho, i do like stories about AI promoters getting their shit wrecked by AI

5k on a track > 5k on a road all day every day

To answer a question posed to me recently, no, I don’t have any issue with socks. I actually have a system which helps me to avoid any socks related problems. #NotTestedButEverybodyPrettySure

It happened. We knew it was coming, but I dreaded the day its going to happen. Knowing something will eventually happen doesn’t make it easier when it does, sometimes its the exact opposite. Today, my wrists started to hurt while holding my Xbox controller. I am officially old.

Xcode builds once again started crashing my audio

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Apple moving from primarily hardware revenue streams to primarily services is one of the greatest tragedies of modern tech

I’ve been banned from notifications

It should be illegal for real estate agents to put up visualizations of how could a house look like and then showing you a complete ruin.

Do you remember the press conference scene from Love Actually where David call the US president a bully and they won’t let him bully them? That scene seemed extremely far fetched then, but if it happened today, it would be a very calm reaction to what the US is doing to its allies.

Here are some thoughts in no particular order about Apple/SwiftUI/whatever 1. I don’t actually believe Apple is using SwiftUI in any meaningful way, and if they do, they must be using a much more stable version. Don’t get me wrong, I really like SwiftUI and what its bringing to the table, BUT […]

Is there a way to allow multiple apps to interact with the same SQLite database on iOS? I’m wondering if there’s a place a package could put it so that any app which uses the package gets access to it. My brain says no, but what do I know.

If you want to understand modern #Swift concurrency, you should first go through the @massicotte.org blog www.massicotte.org and then straight to the @pointfree.co Isolation series www.pointfree.co/collections/.... Those are a god send. For the first time I feel like I am starting to understand.

In the past I had so many ideas for new apps but not the experience to build them. Now I have the experience, but no ideas. Sigh.

Seeing how some of the people out there work I can see why they think AI is so good at their job

Nothing does more to limit my doom scrolling than the “ad break” bullshit on Instagram where it blocks scrolling so you have to look at the ad for 5-10 seconds.

US wants to leave NATO? Let them. We will manage without them and once they join again with the next administration, it will finally become a union of equals without the US as a disproportionate leader. We don't need to be associated with fascist administrations.

"No miss teacher, you have to trust me, I did the math homework, but the calculations are too dangerous to share with you"

The bases should never have been opened to US use. They should now immediately be closed to them. This is patently the case. It is a military power with explicitly genocidal intent. Given how severe that danger is, the reassurances of its military officials about authorised use are insufficient.
