That's a bullshit excuse for this particular issue. No one is forcing you to employ this specific dark pattern regardless of how you claim your competition behaves.

> Sam Bankman-Fried’s mistake was operational, not philosophical. He was right that a serious altruist goes where the money is.

Just wow.

And additionally they cause problems I didn't have.

If you almost don't care about how quick it is then why not take 2-10 days as 10 days?

There's much more to a good app than the code.
yreg··on Apple HomeView
One issue with upgrading: macOS 27 doesn't run Xcode 26 which most developers probably want to continue using until they finish polishing the apps for Duo.

Yeah, I haven't been seeing the point of this exercise for a long time (apart from driving traffic to Simon's blog if I wanted to be negative) and find it boring by now.

But apparently we are in the minority since the pelicans are always upvoted to the top, so if others have fun with it then whatever, fair enough.

yreg··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
Everyone who has not heard of her before thought that you are referring to something that happened now and not decades ago.

I was surprised and felt mislead.

I'm not sure what are you even arguing with me about. If it doesn't weaken your argument than it shouldn't matter to you that I've added factual context.

yreg··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
I'm not arguing for anything. I'm just adding context, because your comment read as if it happened during the 'current phase' of the conflict. That's a crucial detail to omit, imho.
yreg··on Firebase SDK is crashing all iOS apps since this morning
This is not the first time this has happened.
yreg··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
Worth noting that Corrie was killed 23 years ago during a different phase of the conflict and under a previous government. (In which Netanyahu served as minister of finance.)

This is such a nice article!

They have started trying it when the problem was much more difficult than it is now. I think a fridge that does this itinerary well is not too far away.

Because you are at the supermarket trying to remember what you have at home.
yreg··on Disney+ and Hulu raise prices by up to 13 percent after doubling profits
How is that absurd?

Of course with piracy you can have all the content available everywhere forever.

How do you expect a law-abiding company to match that with content they don't own? Unless we abolish copyright.

yreg··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
I miss these kinds of shows. BSG, StarGate, Star Treks, FireFly. I'm sad that they went out of fashion and the genre has moved on to other concepts.

Only Expanse and The Orville compares in the past decade I guess.

Does API price cut translate into higher allowance on the subscription? Do we know?

> There's a crypto token involved in paying for it.

It seems that the viewers pay with USDC, no? There's nothing inherently sketchy about that.

yreg··on Xcode 27.1 Beta Release Notes
In plenty of big companies one month is not even enough time to get a new release into production, let alone test and fix the layouts.

> some of the bigger apps to switch to the Liquid Glass

Interestingly, Instagram decided to implement a custom liquid-glass like tab bar which surely now turns to be a PITA.

yreg··on Xcode 27.1 Beta Release Notes
Yeah, good luck with that.

Finally! So we have a little over a month between getting the simulator and first customers running our apps in Duo.

I expect that most apps will look rather broken on release, but it will be smoothed out eventually.

yreg··on Waymo in Singapore
Doesn't Tokyo have very low unemployment? According to Wikipedia: Japan 2.5%, Singapore 3.2%, USA 4.1%, EU 5.2%.

I expect Tokyo is probably even lower than the national average. Visiting just as a tourist it seems like Japan is quite good at creating, I don't want to say bullshit jobs, but perhaps not-that-necessary jobs? Jobs which mainly serve to give something to do to (usually) elderly. My understanding was that the idea is to make them feel to be a contributing part of the society(?)

I mean all the people controlling the pedestrians or acting like "human signs" and such.

Am I getting it wrong?
