These posts by Gruber are starting to sound like a bunch of old dudes ranting about how back in their day the macOS UI was so much better. Was macOS UI 10 years ago better than Tahoe? Just like some think 50’s era cars were the ultimate in auto design. daringfireball.net/linked/2026/...

This “us-vs-them” narrative is unserious. During 2020-2025, Elon created great wealth for TSLA shareholders by building great EV’s. Now he’s dropping EV’s for ketamine-inspired moves to robotics and robocabs…no, Cybercab…oops stocks.apple.com/AK-TLP_FNQZW...

Mission Orion 2 is live on Apple’s AppStore. apps.apple.com/us/app/missi...

MissionOrion 2 was approved by Apple's AppStore reviewers this morning at 10:35 AM, or 18 hours after it was submitted for review. Thank you, Apple! portablefrontier.com/2025/12/10/m...

“Like so many space projects, DRACO started with a bang but ended with a whimper.” Jeff Foust Both House and Senate CJS Approps Sbcmtes disagree that DRACO is dead. Instead, DRACO and NEP are funded at $110 M, as they have been for years. spacepolicyonline.com/news/senate-...

Let's try and fix some stuff, or get frustrated and end the stream early... youtube.com/live/8f1lygt...

Very excited to share our new work out today @cellpress.bsky.social. Here, we propose that meningeal mast cells regulate brain inflammation after stroke by coordinating immune infiltration from the skull bone marrow, through the meninges, and into the brain! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Target spacecraft added for translation flight training.

After Mission Orion 2 is released, there will be three other apps released shortly afterwards that helped make this possible: an astrodynamics app, one for visualizing quaternion rotations, and one for visualizing integrating of quaternion-based orientation changes.

Where we’ve gone since Apple introduced the iPhone 17 years ago leaves me looking forward to where we’ll be with visionOS in that same time.

3D work on Orion interior are coming together. The new instrument panel is as close as possible. Next up is adding astronauts. And then an instructional on how to fly a spacecraft.

I was born with moderate strabismus, but I’m wally-eyed to be sure. So when I put an Apple VisionPro on, I didn’t expect that the eye tracking would work very well. I mean, which eye does it track? Apple VisionPro has worked like a flawlessly! Amazing!!! waitbutwhy.com/2024/02/visi...

A project is lake casting-off on a long sailing voyage. Initially exciting, as the days grind-on to weeks, or longer, you begin to question what you’re doing. But you gotta finish the voyage, regardless of whether it makes sense.

Progress on MissionOrion has sometimes been slow but it is getting there.

On Sept. 30, 2022, Phil Paxton followed Google Maps instructions across a bridge on Snow Creek in NE Hickory, NC that was washed-out years ago, resulting in his death. Apple Maps shows that the bridge no longer exists. Apps and data have consequences. www.wcnc.com/amp/article/...

Unity’s new “per-install” pricing is an act of just breathtakingly bad faith. I’m sure glad the years I’ve invested weren’t with Unity. arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/...

@seanallen.bsky.social Seems a bummer that the Swift dev community seems so quiet on BlueSky
