I don't know if it's just me but Spaces in macOS 27 is completely broken. My keyboard shortcuts stop working after a period of time and apps don't stick to the space into which they're assigned.

I'm finding the tab bar in Safari on macOS 27 in Dark Mode is pretty rough. Is this what all you Tahoe people were putting up with for a year?

Not to say that @siracusa.social is wrong but I‘m using a coding agent in a Zig project and filled up my disk to the point where I was getting syscall errors saying that there was no space. macOS seemed to handle it like a champ. (I quickly cleaned up caches so it wasn’t prolonged use.)

I was hoping for your help with something. (Please RT for reach.) Is there a particular font that’s instantly recognizable to someone who lives where you do, and appreciated/recognized/hated there, but completely unknown elsewhere? Road signs, street names, transit, infrastructure, stuff like that?

I had Claude set itself up so that when it wants my attention for anything, it causes Ghostty's Dock icon to jump and make the background of the label of the relevant tmux window a tasteful yellow. I assume this is what it felt like in prior generations to make a spice rack.

@simonwillison.net Hi Simon 👋 I don't believe you're a crosswords guy but in case that's wrong (a man can like marine life and word games, I realise!), I made a crossword app for iPhone and iPad using just Claude and Codex. It took three months. It's called Crossmate: apps.inqk.net/crossmate/

Consistency for traffic signs! Let's start by redesigning them all to be the same shape.
Four diamond-shaped road signs: a yellow right-turn warning sign, a red stop sign, a white speed limit 80 sign, and an Interstate 15 highway marker.
