I don't know what the baseline is for CEO popularity (I guess most people don't know that many CEOs by name?) but I'd be hard-pressed to call a 37/50 favorable/unfavorable ratio po…

I believe Google's Safari payments are a significant chunk of services revenue too (around $20 billion a year.) Then there's Apple TV and Apple Music, which are not nothing.

And in many cases, multiple times. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of SQLite DBs on my phone was in the hundreds and the number of separately compiled copies of the library i…

Is the syntax really the stumbling block for most languages? Would Rust's lifetimes or Swift's isolation rules be easier if they used more parens? Are the scoping rule differences …

The two leads, Rob Morrow and Janine Turner, are doing a rewatch podcast called Northern Disclosure. They seem to be in season 3 right now. No endorsement, haven't tried it myself.…

Yeah, agreed. I liked the idea of Mercurial branches better than git's — in principle I prefer more rather than less metadata in history — but they genuinely had a scaling problem.…

Yeah, it seems something is still happening, they keep posting updates every now and then: https://forums.swift.org/t/differentiable-swift-feb-2026-upd...

It might be helpful to have a modifier on all the models. It's a bit awkward (not that the naming geniuses at Apple have ever cared about how awkward it's to talk about their produ…

Gochujang and doenjang are two fermented pastes that are used a lot.

That's a serious overgeneralization. It's true for some people, but trains mostly don't bump and swerve enough for that to be a significant problem. Finnish trains have lots of sea…

They could do it, but I wonder if it makes sense financially. It's probably easier for a neutral foundry like TSMC to recoup the costs by selling the capacity to whomever for years…

And we can again enjoy horrible keyboards and gold watches.

EU isn't a country, it's a union of 27 countries with their separate legislatures. I live in Finland, a country of five million people. According to your math I think I'm allowed t…

I love Yamaha Motor using the tuning forks as their logo. It's a proper beautiful old-timey logo (well, from 1967, apparently, but anyway) and it's just so weird seeing them on a m…

It's (hopefully) unscripted drama. People enjoy drama.

The parliament seats are also apportioned by state. I don't find that a bad idea, living in a small country, and I don't see why the council seats being divided by country is a wor…

I preferred Carthage in theory, but every time I tried using it in anger I hit enormous stumbling blocks with projects not actually living up to its exacting standards, then spent …

A public beta period is for receiving feedback from developers and customers.

Also Emacs keybindings. Being able to use your text editor muscle memory for editing in every text field of every native app is fantastic.

Yeah, and Germany is expensive compared to the Nordics. 6.35 c/kWh right now in Finland, 2.54 c/kWh average over the last 30 days. (clarification: that's euro cent, so 0.0635€ etc)…

For what it’s worth, they offer subs via IAP in the iOS App Store. If you subscribe that way, unsubscribing is just a couple of taps. That €349 per year is pretty steep, though.
