The App Store has done a great job of training users to think that anything downloaded from it is somehow safe. In reality, Apple’s static code analysis and human review processes …

Do you actually want that built into the OS? To me, this is an app but an invasion of privacy if it’s integrated into the OS.

I can see a lot of negatives in relation to removing the human readable aspect of software development. Thorough testing would be virtually impossible because we’d be relying on fu…

Figma has become absolutely shocking in the past few years. The performance is so bad these days. It doesn’t help that almost every designer doesn’t care to split things into more …

In Australia, if you work in multiple places and at multiple companies, it’s still trivial to file your own taxes. You log in to the government portal, where the collected amounts …

I don’t mind the visual appearance of iOS 26. My main gripe is that this update introduces some pointless additional taps for common interactions. Here’s some of the UX regressions…

Settings > Safari > Set tabs to “Bottom”. This gives you back the old style bottom bar, including the all tabs button. The “Compact” UI option is complete and utter garbage.

Claude Code Router ( https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router ) lets you use Claude Code with other, non-Anthropic models.

react-router is such a disaster. It’s got to be one of the most irritating but ubiquitous packages. I’m going to migrate to Tanstack Router on a project that uses react-router v6 c…

I don’t think it’s actually faster than Jest in every circumstance. The main selling point, IMO, is that Vitest uses Vite’s configuration and tooling to transform before running te…

Figma was quick until a 12-18 months ago, it’s been getting progressively worse. It’s excruciatingly slow at times now. The version history feature takes forever to load. It’s a sh…

What’s worse is it used to be 90 days. Apple changed it to 7 days years ago.

I recently spent 2 weeks fixing a project that a senior engineer seemingly vibe coded while I was on holiday. Prior to that, their work output was excellent in terms of quality and…

The Australian open runs for two weeks, solely in January, so you can subscribe for a single month. ~$12 is roughly the price of a single beer at a game. If you can get 2 weeks of …

Having seen this generation at music festivals, I kind of disagree. I feel like the current generation go really hard on drugs. In Australia, nightclub entry can be expensive, rang…

One thing I like about Berlin is that some clubs explicitly forbid photos. Staff place stickers on the front and back cameras when you enter. Anyone spotted taking photos is kicked…

Wow, this seems ridiculous. The expected answer is basically finding a loophole in the problem. I can imagine how worthless all of these models would be if they behaved that way.

> Nothing unproven about covid coming out of wuhan lab The burden of proof lies on those making the claim of a lab origin. In scientific investigation, the party proposing a partic…

Look at U.S. factories now vs the 1980s - way fewer workers but making more stuff. Yeah, companies moved jobs overseas, but they also went big on automation to boost efficiency. Th…

Similar experience here. These tools are so good for side stepping the one or two day grinds.

Claude web’s context window is 200K tokens. I’d be surprised if GitHub Copilot’s context window exceeds 10K. I’ve found using Claude via Copilot in VS Code produces noticeably lowe…

I’m paying $240 a year to Anthropic that I wasn’t paying before and it’s worth it. While I don’t use Claude every single day, but I use it several times a day when I’m working. Mor…

Existing hearing aid products are still available for purchase for those who want them. I don’t think AirPods are going to replace hearing aids. Hopefully they lower the barrier fo…

If iPhone owners can improve their hearing for $250, that’s a win for a large number of people. Sure, it doesn’t solve the problem for everyone, but neither does a $2000 pair of he…
