ATProto is closer to how RSS works than ActivityPub. In the same way talking about "RSS instances" makes little sense, the same goes for "ATProto instances".

How is that better than the Zig codebase you started with?

In contrast with the Zig codebase, you now have clear well-scoped unsafe boundaries you can iteratively fix one by one. This was not the case before.

Running lid closed with external display has been officially supported since forever so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The public contract previously discussed in RFCs and conference talks hasn't changed. Coding language is just an implementation detail.

Because majority of the audience spend large parts of their day on GitHub and it keeps going down.

Don't underestimate the significance of code being runnable in a browser environment.

Not good for fans. And happy fans are good for artist. So not good for artist.

Your argument is just as applicable on human code reviewers. Obviously having others review the code will catch issues you would never have thought of. This includes agents as well.

It really isn't - a ui framework should be able to properly handle backend latency and provide a great experience while waiting for a backend response with no flicker while not locking the entire ui. It's just way harder to set up good benchmarks for this.

I'm so sick of these performance benchmarks. I understand it's easy to spin them up to show that one framework is faster than another, but in general all these frameworks are fast enough for 99.9% of use cases.

Where frameworks lack today, in my opinion, are in providing the right tools further optimize the UX of interacting with web sites. It's a constant struggle of loading spinners and flicker and loss of scroll positions.

The only framework I see that actually tries to resolve these very hard problems is React, through their work on new asynchronous primitives like startTransition. Yes, they are currently hard to understand how to properly use, but I so wish the discourse would be around how to best resolve these actual UX issues than who can create 50M divs the fastest.

The difficulty to deploy Next.js is greatly exaggerated in my opinion. It's mostly if you care about some of the more advanced features, like image optimization and hosting static assets on a different origin it can become difficult, but these are features no Next.js alternative generally provide anyway.

I might be blindsided by using npm exclusively for years by this point, but what would be a better way to support iteratively migrating from v3 to v4 without having to do it all in one large batch?

Same reason as why it's harder to solve a sudoku than it is to verify its correctness.

I think arrogance has always been part of their culture – partners have _always_ hated working with Apple. Personally I believe it's the shifting dynamics of no longer being the underdog that slowly has eaten away at their core values.

As a web dev, it’s been fun listening to Accidental Tech Podcast where Siracusa has been talking (or ranting) about the ins and outs of developing modern mac apps in Swift and SwiftUI.

It’s not a symbolic link - it copies on modification. No need to worry!

I've been for many years a happily paying customer of iStat Menus [1], from which this seem to be the heavily inspired of.

so by increasing the cost of patient care, they can take out more profits.

He still is

I think I was 8 or 9 when I started building my first website as well, and it looked remarkably similar to this. :) I think the only difference really is that all guides used uppercase for html tags back then. Happy that went out of style.

The versions should generally match what's specified in the user's package.json. It doesn't make much sense then to have a separate registry.

The software support for iPads have been excellent imo, especially compared to competition.

If you bought an iPad in 2012, it should have received software updates until 2019, and all iPads since 2015 are still supported. In general I expect the first 2-3 generations of a new product line to have shorter support cycle before they have matured a bit, so it doesn't surprise me that your particular iPad model only got 7 years, but if you buy an iPad today I would be surprised if it got less than 10+ years of support.

All that said, I think hardware companies should be forced to open up their hardware for booting alternative OSes once they are classified as EOL.

- Alternative app marketplaces become allowed.

- Apple sees emulators as a potential market for alternative app stores and proactively chooses to allow them in the Apple App Store.

- This is a clear example of how competition in the app market place being a positive thing.

- Developer creates an alternative app marketplace, with an emulator as one of its main apps on launch, realizing the competition that forced Apple to update their rules to allow emulators in their own store.

I'm sorry you feel forced to download a separate app store, but don't you see how you in the end are benefitting from this change even without using the AltStore? Give it some time and you will probably have another emulator in the app store you can choose to download.

Max Howell (mxcl) created Homebrew fifteen years ago

Despite that, Max continues to hype himself as the creator of Homebrew

Weirdly gatekeepy. Why shouldn't he be allowed to update his followers on his life?

If writing good commit messages isn't specifically defined as part of your job, why would you waste business hours writing commit messages that are beyond what is expected of you and frankly useless since nobody would ever read it anyway?

Not everyone has the luxury to work with competently written backend systems.

Why are you comparing default behavior of macOS with Linux after “a bit of theming”. You can easily install a tiling window manager on macOS if that’s your thing.

I've recently toyed with server-side SQLite with LiteFS [1] to enable replication, and it has worked quite well for me. Are there any similar plans for distributed setups for DuckDB?
