I have a feeling something weird has happened recently in macOS related to git . I am used to automatic merge of git branches with very little conflicts, usually none. But since last 2-3 weeks, almost every merge shows conflicts. When I open the offending files in a diff tool like Kaleidoscope […]

The thing I love about visiting wine areas like Logroño, Rioja — you sit at a random bar, order “vino rojo” and you get 2020 Crianza. 💯 As in — awesome wine is default. I have no idea who is the maker but it’s lovely silky red with black fruits exploding on your palate.

On train from Barcelona to Logroño. It’s amazing how much of the terrain is covered with newly-seeded orchards. It’s also notable how much empty space is still available, currently being rather bleak, only dotted with shrubs.

Looking closer to iPhone Duo spec and it seems it has the same typical “1st of its kind” device from Apple. When they started developing this, they fixed the stuff not exclusive to decide (like camera) and then developed the rest around it. Back camera system seems from iPhone 16 era which […]
