IIRC, part of the order was for stuff like Steam achievements, upgraded assets, modern resolution support, other platform conveniences, plus other required changes to the game due …

I know from people who actually worked on this that the process of actually getting the game running and following modern platform conventions was somewhat insane and tortuous, but…

I think the only way to interpret a one million line LLM-generated diff with no proper reviews as an employee of Anthropic is that my company no longer has an interest in understan…

A lot of the conclusions they're drawing in this post about the "agentic era" seem quite misguided and some don't really seem to make sense. I have no doubt GitLab has too many emp…

But can it play BlockDude?

The most important thing is probably to use native UI controls, either AppKit or SwiftUI, rather than Qt or other frameworks, even those that espouse the use of native controls. Th…

If Codeberg starts offering Mac and Windows runners alongside their Linux ones for free (or at an achievable price point) for a modest OSS project I'll certainly look at it very cl…

For companies with resources for infrastructure, sure. For OSS, the unlimited free minutes of multiplatform CI offered by GitHub are literally impossible to replace. Maintaining ru…

If the primary forge's only job is to host the actual Git infrastructure (the code, the MRs, the issues, maybe a wiki), it's a lot more simple than GitHub, and probably more within…

A "reasonable" answer is probably a primary self-hosted Forgejo instance as the canonical forge, while using GitHub as a mirror solely to take advantage of its free CI, while that …

I'm not sure I'd put it at full slop, but the book is clearly AI assisted. You can view samples on retailer websites, and it features 'interjections' from an AI avatar. Further, in…

I mean, to those who played them, 'custom map' is basically just a term of art indicating the things you said. In the parlance of the mid-2000s WC3 scene, you would call them custo…

> “We work in tech,” she says. “Our kids [aren’t] getting any cell phones, no smartphones, no Instagrams. I write the algorithms. I don’t want my kids to touch those algorithms.” I…

Is a panel of 'neutral' experts even possible to field in this area? I feel like anyone with sufficiently in depth knowledge of both the AV1 and HEVC specs has almost certainly der…

This looks like slop? The README is full of emojis and kind of incoherent, there are no implementation details, there claims to be a Metal backend that doesn't seem to exist, etc. …

I'm not sure if these selectors are hit in SwiftUI or not.

I feel like the vast majority of these are features of an operating system? Not a web browser?

When I was 12, I watched a redneck in a pickup truck try to race the light rail downtown and cut across the road in front of it, only to get T-boned by the railcar against a nearby…

I have a lot of pet Apple bugs. Top of mind at the moment: Why can't we adjust the order of photos in a Shared Photos album?

This is pretty great stuff, I knew about the raw interop features but had no idea what API Notes offered. Quite cool. I can't help but feel that Swift will ultimately be the "slow …

Does anyone have a mirror of the old Mac SETI client? setiathome_mac_3_08.hqx? I'd like to see if I can get it running again on my old iMac. Either the OS 9 or the early OS X one w…

HN's auto-editorializing has tripped on "Report: " matching not just as a prefix but in the middle of the title as well. (original title: "Dolphin Progress Report: Release 2512")

The latter link is referring to different people.

It's somewhat bizarre to me for this to impact "casks" but not "bottles". Bottles are all ad-hoc signed and presumably have the quarantine attribute removed manually since I do not…

I've had the same iTunes (now Music.app) library since 2004, with only one botched library migration with an iTunes update in like 2013. It has 40,000 MP3s or so. I still keep it o…
