Reminder me of all those “{trivial thing}, on the internet” patents 25 year ago

Yet I never had issues doing any design thrown at me using AppKit, UIKit or SwiftUI.

Only storyboards and XIBs were hard to style globally.

All of the flexibility, but a lot faster than web

And Intents

It’s funny how a US$30 ReSharper license that would give me a 20% performance boost in programming was out of the question, while me burning US$3000 per month on tokens for a 40% boost in performance never was questioned

“…if you give it good context…” that’s what the architect session is for basically. You throw around ideas and store the direction you want to go.

Then you execute it with a clean context.

Clean context is needed for maximum performance while not remembering implementation dead ends you already discarded

I think stable API versions are going to be really big. I’d rather have known bugs u can work around than waking up to whatever thing got fixed that made another thing behave differently.

Poland is quite intertwined.

But Catholicism has its own government, which prevents individual catholic countries to veer off too much.

It’s almost like they reject the parts of the bible featuring Christ, and only cling on to the Old Testament and the parts after Christ as their guide.

In lack of a better word, that sounds more like anti-Cristian

Internet connections on devices are an anti feature to me. I need something to work reliably without internet. And then maybe add some extras through internet access through open and secure protocols, so I can always write my own implementation.

Hungary was outpaced by all WU countries in the last 20 years:

I guess it’s attractive for its low wages? But not because of something Orbán pulled off.

Bloomberg also has a link, but doesn’t mention ASML is actually adding 1400 engineers while cutting 4500 managers:

Apologies for the Dutch source, but I couldn’t find any source in English yet.

“ ASML plans to eliminate approximately 3,000 of its 4,500 management positions in engineering. The expectation is that approximately 1,400 people will be able to move into new engineering roles.”

It’s much easier to make stuff work with Safari first then last.

“In the EU” only because some countries might have individual laws, unless you have more information about the EU specifically causing that?

The country with the worst “bad opinion, police comes knocking” is the recently seceded UK.

And I guess Germany has something against nazism?

Problem with SwiftUI is that it only works well on macOS 26, maybe one version prior. AppKit works well on all macOS versions.

Building a macOS 26 only app in SwiftUI today is a great UX, just as fast as AppKit.

But it takes quite some effort to turn an iOS SwiftUI app into a real macOS experience. Though most macOS optimizations help for iPadOS as well.

I had similar experiences working with the RAW data API's that appeared a few years ago in iOS. My photos were barely better than the stuff I would take with my old Nokia!

I have a lot of respect they manage to get pictures to get to look as good as they do on phones.
