borschtplease··on Mac at any scale
Apple still lives in the world where software developed in IDE on a personal computer and shipped as a boxed software on a disquette with a licence key. Xcode cloud is a joke. All their automation is a joke. It’s not surprising even their own software development stuck because of their ecosystem because they use same tools, same cryptic software signing with their plists, p8, chains, certificates, lack of ui testing, horrible cpp, objc legacy. You just drowning in this environment. How I wish we have proper web app apis at last

borschtplease··on The new Firefox design is here
Gradient tabs. What a nerve. You don't like put very questionable design style as default. What next. Replace favicons with flowers?

Blurry misaligned icon set.

One more technical challenge. The whole ssl infrastructure is incompatible with a state current planet moves forward to.
borschtplease··on Check if a file was made with Claude
Like they should ban astronaut on a horse images or what? Misinformation becomes misinformation upon the fact of presenting it as so, not the fact of creation
borschtplease··on Let websites framebust out of native apps
All of this can be reason to reject an app during submission review. Google and Apple could update their guidelines and start enforcing them.

I mean if I would Apple I would go even stricter. In Info.plist you declare list of domains which can be accessed with webview and reason why. Just like you declare reason why you should have access to photos or a camera. Everything other would straight open in browser.

Also there is a solution to make component which acts as a webview, but in fact is blackboxed main browser which app has no access to, just like PHPicker photos select in ios 15

borschtplease··on Stage 3 Proposal: Array.prototype.at
I want you to look at some other languages beside javascript. Take a look at Swift or Ruby. Compared to them it feels like 60% of js code is boilerplate. 200 lines of js can be fit in 60 lines of Swift. All because js stdlib is just sucks. I’m tired of this silly ‘someArray.length ? someArray[someArray.length - 1] : null’, I want just ‘someArray.last()’
borschtplease··on The lack of namespaces on crates.io is a feature
Then packages will be resquatted. Maybe by the same person under different name.

And he makes mistake #1 in mistake #3 by running „get“ sequentially instead of using Promise.all
