With the World Cup going on right now I wasn’t really sure what the link was going to reveal!

Taking 20 years to move from 0.4 to 0.4.1 seems like a long long time.

Same here, I like that it imitates the iOS behavior when holding the command key down.

Before ExtensionKit you could only make app extensions to extend the functionality of Apple provided systems. Things like authentication, file sync and badging in the Finder, Xcode text editors, or Final Cut Pro editing extensions. With ExtensionKit you can make your own extension points and let people develop extensions for your apps on all Apple platforms.

The code editor Chime just released extension support in their 2.0 release if you are on macOS 13. They have a lot of good details on how the implemented the feature on their blog. https://www.chimehq.com/blog/extensionkit-intro

I'm not an RGB sort of guy, but that backlit motherboard is amazing.

This whole thing is a great read and an amazing labor of love.

I'm fairly sure that it's used on Mac for the virtualization frameworks when working with guest VMs.

I've not messed with it, but will once I find some free time.

There is an old KEXT on GitHub [0] that can mount them from the Finder, but KEXTs are on the way out...

I saw him on tour in 1990 and he got lost in a Beatles song on stage and had a laugh about it. That’s said, everything I’ve read or seen about him points to him having an encyclopedic memory of songs.

Apple added support just in 2019!

There have long been CarPlay and Siri intents for things like climate control but no automaker has wanted to give up more control inside their dashboard.

Even if I enable WebGPU and change my user agent to Chrome it won't let me through to the demos with Safari.

Some demos I find work and others don't. Assuming that the feature state is still early days on all browsers.

Honda builds both the engines and airframes for the HondaJet.

Exactly this, there have long been plugins for edit suites that let you specify the grain and color process of specific film stocks to get the look you want.

People today miss the point that things like grain can be an intentional directorial choice and not an artifact to be removed.

The Onion has a pretty good article to cover this sort of thing. https://www.theonion.com/man-who-lost-everything-in-crypto-j...

I don’t think they ever did. The main source of this seems to be papers in Iran. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/16971/does-the-...

Does this work on any Metal hardware or just the M1 GPU?

Overall I like the format and advice from https://keepachangelog.com/

We’ve adopted it at work and it’s nice to have a consistent format that is relatively noise free.

You can also delete items from your backup. So like if wanted to delete Zoom from Time Machine just select it in a backup and then select the option to remove it from all your backups from the Action menu or a right-click.
