I had copilot mainly so I could write issues and throw agents at it, while I went off and did other things. Has been great for contained spot work.
At this point, I'll go ahead and leave it expire, and then consolidate between Codex and JetBrains AI. Especially since Xcode supports Codex with a first-party integration.
Fallout’s pre-war world feels more familiar than it should, and we should be talking about that. I wrote this article as a mashup between Fallout, peak oil theory, and the slow decay/decline that likely would have happened before the bombs dropped. The game and tv show never really depicted any of that, and it's a shame.
I had a lot of fun using my imagination and writing this article, and I hope any (hopeful) readers have as much fun reading it.
An excellent dissection, but took me a minute to get through it!
I really don't know what they were thinking with trying to scare off all the little indie creatives with the pivoting to enterprise stuff, who won in that strategy? And why wasn't there room for both? They could have just left the old Vimeo in stasis for those people and created an entirely new product line that'd have been better suited, especially since they were rewriting stuff from scratch anyway.
As pointed out, if you want to win in enterprise, you have to be willing to bend over backward, which is exactly what Microsoft did/had to do to get entrenched and at least part of what locked Apple out until iOS came along.
The bit about BrightCove and the competition explains so much.
I truly do wonder about the amount of tech debt that must be inside of the Messages app on MacOS and iOS. It's got to be massive.
I also wonder what they're using (protocol) under the hood that lags behind other chat clients like Telegram and Signal and WhatsApp. It works, but I wonder how/if it'll continue to scale and stay competitive.
Arc was the only Chrome browser that I could stomach as a development browser/environment. Kind of tight-lipped, but I assume it'll keep getting updates?
I use Safari day-to-day, but its behaviors are inconsistent with caching which makes development hell. I notice this caching behavior even when you have it disabled in the network developer tools.
I personally prefer the Power Macintosh 6100 form factor, but even I can appreciate the goofy personality of Apple’s engineers to tease Carl Sagan with a first-generation PowerPC Macintosh. “Cold Fusion” on the 8100 was probably the coolest name of the series, while the poor 6100 got stuck with “piltdown man.”
They seem to make the ride smoother, but they don't seem to help much with distance/runtime per battery charge. Like a minimal/marginal improvement in that regard, vs a standard prop.
I have a hard time understanding why anyone would buy a physical tv that big. I decided to get a projector. Huge surface area. Goes away/out of my sight for the 98% of the time I'm not using/watching it.
As a owner of both slot load and tray load G3's, I strongly prefer the tray loaders. The drives still work, while I have to jam a credit card with double-sided tape into the drive to get a disc out of the slot load drive.
The really should have kept that design around longer, iterated on it.
Maybe it just wasn't possible to put a G5 on that small of a logic board, but it's still an absolutely stunning computer. I have one sitting on my kitchen counter right now!
Just make the albums easily downloadable on Bandcamp is all I ask.
