I can name lots of things I can't stand about MacOS and iOS and Apple hardware, but that wasn't the point of the comment. Some of the things I can't stand about Apple are things th…

Easy workaround for this: 1. Install uBlock Origin in Edge. 2. Start Edge, browse to MSN Weather. 3. Click the "Add an Application" button in the address bar to get a Start Menu ic…

Super interesting; it's been exactly the opposite in my experience. MacOS/iOS users put up with whatever Apple is telling them they should love - Liquid Glass, right? App Store res…

This SDK is widely trusted, but it carries significant technical debt: Performance risks Memory leaks Design flaws Maintainability issues Popularity does not equal quality.

I know that OpenAI has made computing deals with other companies, and as time goes on, the percentage of inference that they run their models on will shift, but I doubt that much, …

Everything about the title of this article is frightening.

This is brilliant. Thanks for building it.

The fact that most of your Git commands are local-only is an artifact of how Git works, but I expect that ~100% of the time, you have an internet connection, so the fact that Grace…

> Any plans to assimilate the build system as well? No plans, not at all. One of the design questions I've had in mind the entire time I've worked on Grace is: "What belongs to Git…

Eh, I'm not really an Elvis fan... One of the problems that GitHub and GitLab are going to face in the coming years, as Git gets supplanted whatever wins, is that "Git" is in the c…

It's totally cool. It's not a product yet, it's a one-person project so far. I'm not asking anyone for any money. I expect one day that it will be a product. It's still an alpha (s…

I'm a long-time C# dev who got into F# about five years ago. F# is so awesome, I hope that if Grace catches on, that more people will pay some attention to it. And .NET is so fast.…

Thank you, I appreciate even the one data point. I'm a Windows user (and former Windows network administrator). I only use Linux as a target for containers, and rarely use a Linux …

> Hi - can Grace support partial commits somehow? Not at the moment, and probably not for v1.0 unless that bubbles up as a huge blocker. You could accomplish it with something like…

> This doesn't really make any sense. Most people are not "large Git hosters" I do work for GitHub, so I do know what it takes. Most people don't run their own Git servers, they us…

Thank you. There's no way to build something with an intention as big as "replace Git" that won't invite knee-jerk reactions. I know I'm building the thing that aligns with my crea…

Not with something like GitHub Secret Scanning monitoring things, or we could imagine a local ML model automatically checking every save before it gets uploaded. This is an easily-…

Don't get hung up on what GPT-4 can do. That's irrelevant. Even Sam Altman calls GPT-4 "mildly embarrassing". "Don't skate to where the puck is, skate to where the puck is going." …
