Besides starting at $599 (the Air has mostly been a $999 product; occasionally selling at $799 at Costco), coming in 4 bright colors with matching keyboards, using an A series chip for the first time in a Mac, containing 90% recycled aluminum (the most of any Apple product) and breaking all Mac laptop sales records, there's nothing new about it. /s

Apple probably leads the industry in sustainability–the MacBook is 60% recycled material.

They’ve been working for years to be carbon neutral by 2030.

Apple uses OpenBSD's Packet Filter [1]; I doubt multiple routing tables are a problem. Back in the Snow Leopard days, it was FreeBSD's IPFW, which is also no slouch.

Whatever a firewall can do, PF can do it.

You can also get a nice GUI for PF [2].

> Let's start with the basics: if you write`font-size: 16px`then `16px` is the size of what? Sadly, the answer is "nothing in particular" -- this is a size of a virtual box around the glyph, but the box isn't tight, and the size of the glyph varies, depending on the font. Luckily, `font-size-adjust` property can fix it, and make `font-size` consistent across fonts.

All modern browsers default to 16px, but for accessibility and sanity reasons, we shouldn't use pixels.

By default, 16px = 1rem. You don't need to declare it; it just is.

Also by default, 16px = 100% if using percentage for font-size.

> Can you just set `font-size: 18px`or whatever works best for your chosen font? I think the answer is yes, but there are some caveats to keep in mind.

If you want to manually increase the base size, using relative units is the answer: `html { font-size: 1.125rem }`. Since by default, 1rem = 16px, 1.125rem is 18px.

> Setting `font-size` in your CSS disables that second approach.

Setting `font-size` in pixels disables changing the browser's default size; works fine with relative sizes.

If the goal is not having to learn the intricacies of CSS, just use the built-in type scale:

    | CSS absolute-size values | xx-small | x-small | small | medium | large | x-large | xx-large | xxx-large |
    | ------------------------ | -------- | ------- | ----- | ------ | ----- | ------- | -------- | --------- |
    | scaling factor           | 3/5      | 3/4     | 8/9   | 1      | 6/5   | 3/2     | 2/1      | 3/1       |
    | HTML headings            | h6       |         | h5    | h4     | h3    | h2      | h1       |           |

You can write `p { font-size: medium }`.

BTW, the main use case of `font-size-adjust` is for changing the font size of your fallback font incase your primary web font doesn't load or if it takes too long depending on what `font-display` is set to. You want the metrics of the fallback font to match the primary font so the text doesn't shift [1].

CLAUDE_CODE_NEW_INIT

Set to 1 to make /init run an interactive setup flow. The flow asks which files to generate, including CLAUDE.md, skills, and hooks, before exploring the codebase and writing them. Without this variable, /init generates a CLAUDE.md automatically without prompting.

I've never seen any company iterate on a product as quickly as Anthropic has with Claude. When you drill down into the details, it is well thought out and stable and well documented.

It seems the feedback loop is so fast, they address issues before they can fester into major problems. The entire company uses Claude; there's not better dogfooding than that.

It reminds me of how, back in the day, when continuous integration and continuous deployment were new; it seemed nuts to push code to production every day. And now, it's the norm.

During the PowerPC to Intel transition, they did stuff like that; perhaps at their current scale, there's reasons why they don't.

Supporting both architectures enables a macOS install to boot an Intel Mac or an Apple Silicon Mac, which is useful in a dual-architecture environment.

It's easy to check for dual architecture support; just use the file command:

    $ file /bin/ls
    /bin/ls: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]
    /bin/ls (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
    /bin/ls (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e

An update to macOS 26.5 contains all the necessary code to update a Mac from 26.0 to 26.5 for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures.

BBEdit has been my never-fail backup editor, especially for Mac-specific tasks. It's been a little awkward because of my Vim muscle memory. Glad to see they're adding Vi/Vim keybindings, which I've wanted for a long time.

I don’t think the Google's tech has anything to do with these features.

This would had to have been in the works long before the Google announcement. Also, these are enhancements of existing iOS and macOS features. They don’t require an LLM anyway; these features use Apple’s Machine Learning models.

For example, creating subtitles for videos? iOS 16 introduced Live Captions for FaceTime calls in 2022 [1].

"Coming later this year" means it's part of a publicly committed release — iOS 27, macOS 27, etc. — not vaporware.

The annual pre-WWDC accessibility announcement is a tradition, and with the conference less than a month away, expect more detail then. New a11y features have a good chance of appearing in the 10am PT keynote or the Platforms State of the Union, the developer-focused follow-up at 1pm PT.

That said, things are still fluid with three weeks to go — features can be added or pulled at any time. If something gets bumped from the main presentations, there will almost certainly be a dedicated video session covering it.

As for availability: some of these features will land in the iOS 27 and macOS 27 betas, which drop during WWDC for Apple Developer Program members. The public beta follows in July, and there's a free tier of the developer program if you want early access.

Don't expect everything at once, though. Some features won't arrive until the September release candidates — and even then, a few may ship labeled "beta" or "experimental," or hold for a future dot release.
