Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without […]

Currently expanding a (C++) data structure to deal with larger amounts of data, and I now have the perfect example for why overflows are an error in Swift and have to be explicitly requested. Related: No surprise a data transfer never ends if it keeps sending the first 64k of the data over and […]

@atpfm Regarding 663 and touch Macs: Personally, I’d be happy with a touch Mac that runs iPad apps, assuming that it runs all iPad apps, not just ones marked as Mac compatible by the vendor. So, launch an iPad app, it’s an iPad, maybe fullscreen in its own space. But there’s macOS in the same […]

Wrote a long-running bit of code. Realized I didn't add any progress logs so I have no idea how long it'll take. Wondering now if it'll finish any moment now, or if I should restart with added progress info. I'm sunk-cost-fallacy'ing so hard right now 😅

[mastodon meta, allusion to politics] Still daily unfollowing someone because they can't CW and insist on using weird terms to avoid naming the people that stress me. If I was conspiracy-minded, I'd think they are actively *trying* to get past my filters.

Say, I thought I’d set up a new Mac by just using iCloud keychain to sync the certs. Now Xcode says I had a certificate, but was missing the private cert. It wants to revoke the cert. Will that break any past Developer ID builds I’ve signed? Is there a way to avoid that?

Always nice to have options

Oooo... Pringles have finally changed their cans to have a cardboard bottom instead of metal! I can now stick it in cardboard recycling!

Love this feature in Fork: Also a good reminder that I should prolly delete Cursor, given it's just taking up hard drive space. #macos #git #gitfork

OK, I don't know what I did differently, but I know have sample code that performs a CATransition or a CIFilter-based transition when adding/removing NSViews from their parent. Not quite sure why it didn't work before. https://github.com/uliwitness/TransitionTestApp/ (Sorry, it's Objective-C […]

I finished Myst III today, so now I have to pick a new game for next stream. After that new game is done, I'll likely go back to Myst one more time, because after Myst I, Myst IV, Myst II (Riven) and Myst III, Myst V is the last one left to play. I never finished that one, so will be tougher […]

Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is an amazing turn-based strategy game with a neat story, and apparently about to be delisted from all stores (I guess their license ran out), so last chance to get it: https://www.gog.com/en/game/battlestar_galactica_deadlock It's even half off!

Protip: If you get weird permission errors pushing to Git, make sure that you didn't set your remote to the entire "git remote add origin" line that Github shows, but rather just to the URL. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone else have Xcode keep forgetting your developer account? I hope 26.1 will fix that for me.

Dangit, no stream from the Linux laptop tomorrow, will have to stick to the usual setup. The webcam in OBS stutters. Might search around if there's a fix later, but time for a break. I didn't offhand see the "Camera" app in GNOME that some web site said one could use to test issues ...

Looked at my first gaming PC and thought it'd be nice to put my old GPU in it with a new main board. Turns out the GPU wouldn't even physically fit in that Mini-ITX case by another third. 🤣 (Mainly trying to set up a backup Windows PC for the games I bought and got into not realizing they had […]

Controversial opinion: Windows 3.x and earlier are just DOS apps and therefore should qualify for #DOScember projects. #retrocomputing

Oooo… looks like the Ubuntu install on my old laptop actually offers a Snap install of OBS that does both web overlays *and* VLC. Might play with that tomorrow to see if I can stream from Linux on Sunday.

Been meaning to update my phone to 26, but I can't free up enough space. That devices are sold with capacity numbers, a whole chunk of which is then used for OS installs, is such a ripoff. They should really just reserve a partition and sell the device as the remainder of the capacity. Both […]

On the one hand, this song is well composed, and funny, and the singer makes some valid points. OTOH this has incredible vibes of a boomer singing about the vices of the telephone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU #songoftheday

Anyone have a recommendation for a small (ideally single-file?) C++ Markdown parser library? I have some Markdown files that I would love to export to various other formats, and don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. I don't need any support for HTML in Markdown. Basically I'd […]

Making share extensions for Catalyst apps appears to be... confusing. What I had to do: - make an iOS share extension target - tell the app target not to embed it for macOS - make a macOS share extension target - tell XCode to build it for macCatalyst not macOS - tell the app target to embed […]

Forgot to zip the old Xcode, so now instead of updating Xcode 26.0 (which I'm using all day) my old Xcode 16 got updated to 26.1 🤣

Did Guhrman ever get any intentional leaks from Apple so far? I have a vague memory that he's a good supply chain observer, but you can't really project Apple's business plans (like price range) from that very well. So I'm still feeling like the whole "Apple will make a cheaper MacBook" might […]

Surprised that nobody has remade Guardians of Infinity. The game idea is cool, like a cross between Carmen Sandiego, Deathloop and 12 Minutes. Just not as a parser based text adventure.

I have never seen a playerbase so free of toxicity as ARC Raiders in solo mode. It's amazing to see what happens when a game really puts in the mechanics to have players work together instead of compete, if they want. It reminds me of my first playthrough of Guild Wars 2, except with proximity […]

Does Xcode always delete your closing braces if there already is one after your cursor? The right setting to turn off seems to be:

TIL that there was an incident in a Swedish prison, where the guards forgot to lock the cells at night, leaving the prisoners to roam the prison and do what they want. Which they did: They started baking Kladdkaka ("sticky cake") and watching movies. I want to believe that the entire world can […]

Hey, were you born after 1992 (or don't remember much from before that because you were too small)? If you haven't checked out the music of Queen, do it. They have a song for everyone: - Stadium hymn? We are the Champions - Polyphonic? Bohemian Rhapsody - Elvis-style? Crazy Little Thing Called […]
