> the gap between them and VSCode has only widened since then What is in this gap? Do you know of any good resources that outline the features that Cursor provides over VSCode with…

Are you willing to share the name of your startup?

But isn’t this whole thread about running Linux on Apple hardware? I haven’t seen anyone in this thread complaining that they can’t run macOS on non Apple hardware.

I'm not sure that's really the same thing. Apple doesn't own ARM and the main issue here seems to be the GPU no? Is this much different from how things work with Nvidia? I guess th…

Seems like the opposite is true. If their primary motivation was more App Store sales why not allow GPTK games only through the App Store?

This makes no sense to me. Apple does nothing to prevent AAA games on the App Store also being released on Steam. I think it’s more likely that the GPTK license is to encourage dev…

This is the darkest timeline. You want to leverage AI to automate the cycle of creating low quality games to display in low quality ads that leverage gambling mechanics to entice c…

Doesn’t seem like Apple shutting down this old, likely unpopular feature is evidence of Apple turning the Mac into an “Apple Chromebook”. There is no “hard stop” on the life time o…

I’m not sure this is a fair statement given that the thing isn’t even out yet and most haven’t used it.

This article strangely cites the cost of the Mac Pro with M2 Ultra. You can get the same M2 Ultra in a Mac Studio starting at $4000.

This isn’t quite true or at least doesn’t tell the whole story. This tool can do things that Wine can’t today. Namely supporting DX12 games. That support was added by Apple.

I think that’s true today but it could change. I imagine Apple wants to encourage developers to build native games but I could see them loosening restrictions down the road. Maybe …

Latest beta OS isn’t necessary. It works on macOS Ventura.

It's an interesting thought experiment but if the goal is to decide whether we should allow these types of AIs to be used for commercial purposes I think it's more helpful to ask a…

Yes. It's significantly better than the average interest rate of savings accounts in general. Most of the big banks have abysmal interest rates for savings accounts. That said ther…

> Apple and Google would rather not get into these markets than dealing with the legal complexities, this is the reason they are blocked I find this claim pretty suspect. What are …

How does blocking gambling, crypto, and adult content help their bottom line? Seems to me like these would be a lucrative source of income if they allowed them on the store. The ri…

I don't think you can separate the principle from its misapplication. It's misapplied because it tries to stuff useful knowledge into a memorable phrase and the nuance is lost. Fla…

The problem is with the entire concept of development "principles". They are a bad way to propagate knowledge. I suspect more people have an incorrect understanding of DRY than not…

I don't think this is true at all. A compiler can't check that your logic is correct. There may be a bit of overlap in the things verified by tests and a compiler but they don't so…

> that Android users need to replace their phones less often That is not true. In fact the opposite is true. The average iPhone will last longer than the average Android phone. htt…

I'm still on the fence about whether this will end up being a net good or not but people don't seem to consider the potential knock on effects of this. Apple puts some nice pro-con…

I don't think the Vulcan/Metal comparison is useful here. Metal shipped before Vulcan so it was never an option for Apple. The case of AV1 is different.

Vulcan did not exist when Apple shipped Metal. If it had I think there is a good chance they would have adopted it but we'll never know for sure.

I think the biggest thing holding Nova back from being a great code editor for most Mac users is their lack of investment in the extension ecosystem. The extension library has no c…
