LLM's feel a little like #CorelDraw to me, if someone remembers that. It felt awesome for a while. Because coming with a ~20000 clipart library it enabled non-designers to produce flyers that felt good-looking. But it didn't take that long until you could easily tell apart those from stuff being done by real designers / people w/ a clue. They just looked too obviously CorelDraw. LLM's are somewhat similar, you get a huge lib of code to cherry pick from. It won't innovate on its own.

@Crell@phpc.social I wouldn’t call SQLite’s type system “mediocre”. It’s intentionally untyped by design and works as intended (views are the one leak I know of, such don’t preserve affinity). You could call it untyped, that would be fair. But certainly not mediocre.

I don’t know a single app in the current „Apple Design Award winners“ email. But i suppose that’s the idea, get to know new apps by featuring them. Recognizing apps that people actually use is a different thing.

Since I just walked over it again, on non-Darwin platforms the MainActor does NOT necessarily run on the main thread. I think it's just a regular global actor there that can run on any thread.
Actually I wonder how to fix this. Could you do an own MyMain actor w/ an executor that uses the GCD main queue? If so, why doesn't Swift do this in the first place?

You can't make this up, we have *two* RFC'ed standards for JSON calendar data (and address data):
- RFC 7265: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7265 (standards people from various companies)
- RFC 8984: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984 (FastMail)

It's seems clear that someone just didn't like the format of the other. So now we have two. For the same freaking thing. Yes, I read 1.1, all 4 points seem like utter nonsense to me. Yes calendars are hard. Independent of the format.

RFC 7265: jCal: The JSON Format for iCalendar
IETF Datatracker

RFC 7265: jCal: The JSON Format for iCalendar

This specification defines "jCal", a JSON format for iCalendar data. The iCalendar data format is a text format for capturing and exchanging information normally stored within a calendaring and scheduling application, for example, tasks and events. JSON is a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format commonly used in Internet applications.

I think I even have an API-OKayish, essentially 0-cost abstraction for dealing with the issue. Like why is it view.chartZAxisLabel (and all variants). Instead use small trampolines, like view.chart.z.axis.label, chat.z.axis { ... } etc. Would have the same shape for all axis.

People are wondering how the iPhone foldable would work, API/screen wise. Do you open separate scenes for the screens?
With our fancy “declarative UI” framework you could also build things where your 3-part foldable is actually:

[Sidebar] | [.              Content              ] | [ Inspector]

(to close, you'd put the sidebar/inspector on top of the content and the back becomes the regular combined thing)

Kinda like the iDrawerMac, but for reals. Might be less crazy than it sounds, IMO.

@kkarhan @dalias @toxomat @digyoursoul You can say 20kW/100km, that’s how EV consumption is measured in Europe (and what my ~10 Euro/100km was based on). But this is getting off topic wrt the original toot and the claim that 300kW chargers are not possible, they are actually very common.

@tonyarnold@mastodon.social @mattiem@mastodon.social @reveal@indieapps.space Probably not, it's kinda a level lower than that. But shipping the libs as part of the revealing app seems kinda like the better thing to do anyways? Though I suppose the lib itself has too much private API to pass the App Store review.

@mattiem@mastodon.social @tonyarnold@mastodon.social @reveal@indieapps.space I guess it could be made to work, but you'd also need to patch the module include path to the interface of either variant using swiftFlags something. Because it won't be automatic from the dependency (which you'd avoid, because that's static). The lib would have to be available in some location, but if it's really part of an app that is installed, it might just be /Apps/Reveal.app/release/ClientLib.a, etc

Apple has given up on the Pro Display XDR. Apparently the large high res display starting at $5000 just didn’t end up being a hit https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/03/apple-discontinues-pro-display-xdr/

Apple Discontinues Pro Display XDR and $999 Stand

Apple today discontinued its Pro Display XDR, following the introduction of a new 27-inch Studio Display XDR monitor. Introduced in December 2019 alongside a redesigned Mac Pro, the 32-inch Pro Display XDR was Apple's return to the premium external monitor market. The launch came three years after the company exited the category with the discontinuation of the Thunderbolt Display in 2016.

@dasdom@chaos.social Maybe try to get a job at Pebble! The CEO is _probably_ not to your liking, but the work might actually be really nice. @kilian@chaos.social might be able to introduce you! Not sure no one needs C devs, a lot of Linux is C. GNOME should still be plenty of C. KDE is C++ so, but there should be jobs. I think everyone shouts "AI is the *junior* dev now". I actually expect the demand for seniors to go up, because someone has to direct, understand and fix the slop. It's not a great job though 🙂

@teslawf@mamot.fr @gahms@mastodon.social @GeriAQuin@mstdn.social You both seem to be discussing unrelated things, I'm talking about the original toot. The chart shows that Denmark reduced use of coal for electricity generation from ~50% to under 5% and overcompensated it with just wind, growing from a little over 10% to almost 60%. This is incredible and absolutely relevant! I also assume that the dependency on energy imports dramatically decreased. (The wind in the chart is probably not all Danish, but very little of the coal was?)
