The measles virus evolved to do this thing where it eats away at your “immune memory” during an infection — immunity to every random rhinovirus, coronavirus and so on. It is diabolical. So, if you survive an infection, you get strong immunity to measles itself but at the cost of many many […]

So weird: I get an infinite redirect. loop and then a 503 trying to log into developer.apple.com on Golden Gate Safari, but doing the same thing in Vivaldi works fine. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

I just want a SMALL iPhone. Why is this so hard, Apple?! I don't need any bells and whistles. I just want voice, messages, and a decent camera.

And no free year AppleCare with the Duo? That feels like such a "fuck you, good luck with our new tech" from Apple.

Can the Duo replace my 13 mini? I dunno, I'll have to hold it and test it. My rough sketch makes me think it's too wide to fit into a front trouser pocket?

Photograph side-by-side comparison of what the size of the new iPhone duo looks like compared to an iPhone 13 mini. The duo is wider but shorter than the 13 mini.

Good gravy! I’m curious how much the 128GB was with my M1 Ultra. I’ll have to look when I’m back in the country.

This is a screenshot from the Apple Store of memory selection between 96 GB included or 256 GB for an additional $4000

@Iconfactory any plans to fix 403 errors for Reddit feeds in Tapestry? (I’m guessing it would require a bunch of hoops to jump through, but just curious—it’s my primary use case)

@dnanian this was really the only post-Gabriel Genesis I listened to, and as I recall, I first heard it as a late-party-after-most-people-had-left album. Although I think “Mama” transitioned to a driving-home-at-one-AM-unrequited-love-sad-frustrated song. Ahh high school. I miss my 1980 VW […]

Some folks are under the mistaken impression that our industry builds careful, handcrafted solutions. Most of the software industry was slop already. AI solutions are an improvement over the previous low quality slop.

We seem to have largely stopped innovating on trying to lower barriers to programming in favour of creating endless new frameworks and libraries for a vanishingly small number of near-identical languages. It is the mid-2020s and people are wringing their hands over Rust as if it was some […]

I will say one thing for generative AI: since these tools function by remixing/translating existing information, that vibe programming is so popular demonstrates a colossal failure on the part of our industry in not making this stuff easier. If a giant ball of statistics can mostly knock up a […]
