Do we get M5 Max benchmarks only after they are in store?

What did y'all do with your review devices?? *shakes fist at journalists*

@simon Just learned about Showboat from your recent post!

WDYT about taking it a step farther? You've build a literate programming environment -- almost.

With the Markdown Babel convention we're pitching and rolling out to apps, you get user-interactive results, too […]

Oh man. I mean there's another war now and people die. But in our bubble this is also a shitty move to DDoS a git forge

In 2026, you don't have to read the news to know that there's a war going on…

@denis 'nanoc view' works fine btw

@denis Is it my config or has something in nanoc/nanoc-live changed with recent updates that makes adsf live server fail?

no acceptor (port is in use or requires root privileges)

I've tried all the ports! :O

Tagging a note about #Emacs, I was inclined to add #customization -- but then second-guessed myself. Because isn't that the same extent as the other tag?

The tool chest is almost complete!

Typical "Unit tests without integration tests" situation -- since installing the small 'box' in the left, I can't fit my saws underneath anymore.

Argh.

Where are the M5 Max compilation and inference engine benchmarks compared to M1 Max!!

@nighthawk maybe I should also try that for over-the-air delivery.

MTP is essentially a very flaky USB file transfer solution.

Sometimes I turn my USB-C cables to make the device detectable.

Well well well

if this isn't an #mtp app for #macos that natively browses my #Supernote eink tablet for file transfer!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a graphical, structured XML editor with an outline view?

macOS-wise, just a file-loader that shows an outline view and whatever's an attribute stays an attribute, whatever's a sub-element stays a sub element.

Asking for a friend (really!!!)

I didn't know about compiling the toolchain with/without 'assertions'; I don't really want to ship apps without assertions that crash the open source compiler, I believe? That sounds unsafe :)

So is the #Xcode #Swiftlang toolchain an actual _fork_ of the open source Swift toolchain?

Because no matter how hard I've tried (semi-hard!!), a SILGen crash in the Swift compiler via mise/swiftly/... does not happen when using the Swift compiler that ships with Xcode!

It would suck ass if […]

Modern CSS is just lovely. Theme switcher with a single <html> data attribute to ideate on variations during prototyping, nice color spaces and maths, layouts and smooth animation and even transitions. Love it.

I don't understand the 'nonisolated(nonsending) Sendable' closure keyword/annotation sequence

I'm looking at images of the Shift key and with that broad variety of the word's typography, it now looks like it's written in a wrong way.

Whatever this AI stuff brings to the world, it's not "clear communication on generated websites" (assuming LLM's were involved in this website)

What's a "GTM AI"?

Jargon filled landing pages were the plaque of my internetting years ago, and it still is.

Emacs Complete: Feedback Loops in Emacs, Feedback Loops in Computing If it is representable as text, it can be moved into Emacs. And if Emacs renders as text, it can be moved into other processes to interpret the result, like snapshot tests, e.g. for automated regression testing. The loop is fully closed.

SE-0449 allowing `nonisolated` to essentially opt out of global actor inheritance is a really beautiful addition. Without it, I don't know how people swifted before.

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 […]
