BSD jails are architected wholly differently from what something like Docker provides. Jails are first-class citizens that are baked deep into the system. A tool like Docker relies using multiple Linux features/tools to assemble/create isolation. Additionally, iirc, the logic for FreeBSD jails never made it into the Darwin kernel. Someone correct me please.

Both very true statements and worth remembering when considering: > Additionally, iirc, the logic for FreeBSD jails never made it into the Darwin kernel. You are quite correct, as Darwin is is based on XNU[0], which itself has roots in the Mach[1] microkernel.…

This is great! Thank you!

There's a different thread if you want to wax about Fluid Glass etc [1], but there's some really interesting new improvements here for Apple Developers in Xcode 26. The new foundation frameworks around generative language model stuff looks very swift-y and nice for Apple developers. And it's local and on device. In the Platforms State of the Union they showed some really interesting sample apps using it to generate d…

The direction the software engineering is going in with this whole "vibe coding" thing is so depressing to me. I went into this industry because I grew up fascinated by computers. When I learned how to code, it was about learning how to control these incredible machines. The joy of figuring something out by experimenting is quickly being replaced by just slamming it into some "generative" tool. I have no idea where t…

I share your frustration. But for better or worse, computer language will eventually be replaced by human language. It's inevitable :(

No, this sounds like an IC resisting becoming a manager.

Not sure if this is supposed to be an insult... Should I probably lean into management at some point? Sure. But do I still enjoy coding and am I still quite capable (without AI assistance)? Yup. So as long as I can, and as long as I still enjoy it, you'll find me writing code. Lucky to get payed to do this.

Oh, it's not. I'm an IC totally unwilling to become a manager. Some people just enjoy coding.

We use iPads interchangeably. All personal apps like banking are on phones. Some apps that only I would use such as for the roomba and car are on both. Having profiles for the kids however would be nice though. But most apps have that built in themselves.

>Having profiles for the kids however would be nice though. I find this madness that apple doesnt have this already.

We could get away with having separate tablets for us adults and for the kids. But having full profile support would be extremely huge.
