Very impressive.

But of course it never came out.

They have further and much more significant changes that I think might have recently landed in the development version. That should make an even bigger difference. But it’s not in a released version yet.

And yes, none of us like that one part of Swift. Especially the DRASTIC difference compared to objective-C which really only checked syntax and little else.

It’s still probably my favorite language right now though I don’t get to write in it much.

I’m not sure exactly which. I assume it’s some of the code and not all. But it’s not new in the abstract.

That said I don’t think I’ve heard of it in the kernel of MacOS on the main processor. That may be new.

Either way this is certainly the most concrete announcement I remember them ever giving on this stuff.

This is WAY easier.

Much like Hollywood.

Combine on the trend mentality and rent seeking (live service shooters?) and it sucks.

I really liked the PS1 and 2 eras.

PS1 was cheap to develop for relative to cartridges, and Sony just wanted games. They published so many cool and experimental things. Even brought over stuff like that from Japan.

PS2 moved away from that some but we still got fun stuff. No one would ever publish Guitaroo Man today.

Once you hit the HD era budgets started skyrocketing, team size, and it never got better.

I agree indie is where much of the fun is. Some big games are still great. But so much cool stuff is in the indie scene.

They could be publishing that. Not every PS5 game needs to look jaw dropping.

MS helped the rise of indies big time with XBLA. Don’t know why they threw that away. But their business plan hasn’t made sense since the 360 era.

The stupid engineers could write the code like the grunts they are, and then the manager could read it and verify that it was correct without having to know how a program.

That wasn’t exactly how it was put. And there are obviously some assumptions in they are on how good a job a manager who doesn’t know how to code could ever do.

Certainly an interesting idea though.

But thanks for the accusation.

I think a ton of people were REALLY misinformed about how much water AI data centers use. I know I was at one point.

Now there may be people pushing that narrative still on purpose because it clearly works. But I don’t think the average person who uses that talking point is doing anything other than expressing a concern based on the (terrible) information they got somewhere.

Maybe that’s not what they intended.

So it seems like in theory that should be doable if someone just made the container images right?

It’s the only legal way to do so, due to the software license on MacOS.

Which is a ton of ‘em.

Running VMs is really really easy and low maintenance demand on Apple. And it’s guaranteed compatibility.

Wasn’t compatibility what really sunk WSL1?
