The new container tool is also very nice on MacOS

That did not age well.

That sounds like an awesome concept. However, I'm restarting Linux usage after 10 years on Mac, and I am surprised on how much less annoying the Shift-ctrl-v is compared to what I expected.

Do you happen to know similar queries for Oracle?

Also lovely! I was going to look for somthing like Toshy - https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy

Lovely. Do you have some tips for that? Something you put in bashrc?

I think DHH compares them because they are both the latest, top-line chips. I think DHHs benchmarks show that they have different performance characteristics. But DHHs favorite benchmark favors whatever runs native linux and docker.

For local LLM the higher memory bandwith of M4 Max makes it much more performant.

Arstechnica has more benchmarks for non-llm things https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/review-framework-des...

Thanks. That looks like nice progress.

Any news on the usage of Swift?

How it started / how it's going

I've thought about this too. But I can't even tell what would be the good default. At low load events seem nicer, but at high load polling seems necessary?

Yes. That mainboard repurpose is awesome! A dedicated mini can probably have better/quieter cooling. Fingers crossed.

Are you considering some quiet NUC-type machines? I have a very nice Starlabs Byte v1, but even more competition for the Mac Mini would be great.

Lovely writeup. Making that webpage must have taken quite some time also?

A question out of curiosity. What are your thoughts on re-writing in Swift?

If it were me, I am sure my tech-fingers would itch for a rewrite, but my business hands would slap those thoughts away.

Thanks for the great posts. Will you also do a post about MacOS this year?

I sent you a note and added my email to my profile. Best of luck with the writing.

I would be happy to have a look at your book drafts.

Traffic is bad, but fossil traffic is strictly worse than EV traffic. So again, it seems possible to advocate both less traffic and that the remaining traffic should be better.

It seems possible to do both. Both encourage the shift from fossil cars to EVs and to encourage more cycling and public transport.

I know it is all Toystory names, but everytime I hear the name I think of this wonderful story https://j-novel.club/series/ascendance-of-a-bookworm

Works for me with the Office 365 Teams. Is the one on live.com different?

I have the Byte desktop machine from them. I waited quite a bit for the delivery, but the machine is very nice.

Wow. That seems awesome. Do lots of people use it? Is it reliable?

I think Sourcetree is a very nice gui for git. https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/

Anyone who has read it - is it good?

I am a fan of having some element of the team and solution architect also do the support. It is useful for aligning incentives, and it kills some of the risky and useless refactorings that a "sheltered" engineering team can be tempted to do..

Yes, I looked at that one too. But since I only need it for work I went with the small and quiet.

I am getting one of these https://dk.starlabs.systems/pages/desktops to go with my M1 to run x86 based VMs, docker and similar stuff. An extra expense, but hopefully a good combination.

It makes sense for Denmark to have two, as each of them is connected to different larger markets and have limited interconnection between each other.

Denmark is going to have some pretty cheap hours around 13:00, so charging an electric car is not going to be bad tomorrow.
