For one thing, Apple Weather displays hi-DPI animations for weather conditions.

Apple has been using the "macOS is more efficient" excuse since the early 2000s to justify skimping on RAM.

Well, for example, Apple Weather has several different animations that are displayed behind the temperature for various weather conditions, such as rain, window, and snow, and thos…

When?

That was standard practice in the 90s. Track 1 on the CD is the data track, and subsequent tracks are standard CD audio tracks that happen to be played in the game. If the game did…

It was just a standard way to play CD-quality audio tracks (by actually playing CD audio tracks!).

The author claims no AI was used.

They've updated the article to state that no LLM was used.

The same people? Who are they? And since when is Microsoft removing half the features in "any control panel" in every release?

What is the current pace of progress?

Snow Leopard was so buggy that it had an infamous data loss bug: https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/snow-leopard-bug-d... People forget these things after they get patched o…

I lived that era too, and Snow Leopard was no less buggy than any other release. What actually happened is that engineers had been shifted over to iOS, which delayed Leopard. By th…

I'd say Snow Leopard was as buggy as any other typical OS X release from that era, as covered by the Jeff Johnson article. The reality is that the "no new features" marketing was m…

That's not how I remember it. In fact, Snow Leopard was no less buggy than any other release, I'd say. As explained in the article, that mythology of a stable release was formed ov…

What software would that be, and how do you know there have never been memory-related bugs and vulnerabilities in it?

That change is happening. Microsoft has been rewriting parts of Windows in Rust, Linux is accepting Rust code, and Apple is using Swift for core parts of their OSes.

Wavesfactory Cassette does exactly that for several well-known models.

U-he Satin emulates Dolby encoding/decoding.

For what it's worth, which may be nothing, I remember being told that by NFT people.

I must say, "great financial engineering" serves as an amazing spin on "scam."

The policy reads: "The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited. We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convi…

If you read the whole article, you'll understand the context and how its relates to Wikipedia. The fact GingerBill accuses Wikipedia of having a political bias against Odin when (s…

I'll toss ya a few! What unexplored frontiers does he wish game developers would pay more attention to? How does he feel about the state of science education for children today in …

Does it? I'm skeptical. In fact, we apparently have more than enough money for it because we suddenly have billions to spend on war in the Middle East.

Yet we apparently have money for military parades and wars and ballrooms. Go figure.
