The first sentence on the linked page is literally: "Due to foreseeable compatibility and security issues"

This is a nice idea and good example of what is possible with technology!

Not just text. Try to build a ui where you need non-trivial and non-standard behavior and SwiftUI will fail. AppKit is still better in this regard.

What a wonderful resource! HP VUE has interesting color choices and a nice "Dock"

Obvious but also very true.

Once you read thru the newspaper you are done. Nothing new left. Not so with the smartphone. Always new.

Why are almost all planes in the US? Is this a data problem or are only the US rich enough to fly private jets?

A smartphone, at least with a connection to the internet, is always new. There is always something new to see and hear.

Yes I saw that too.

This is a huge book! I would like to know if a LLM was involved in the writing process or if this is the product of a human.

Came here to say just that. Smell and visual noise is rampant in most international Airports, especially the duty free areas.

They should really choose better words for the headline. There is no such thing as a "No-Tech Tractor".

New comment by inatreecrown2 in "Why Zip drives dominated the 90s, then vanished almost overnight"

inatreecrown2 — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:52:27 +0000

I used a Zip drive with an Akai MPC 2000 over SCSI to store all my songs and sounds. Loved it! Never had a problem with it, and I didn't exactly look after it well. The MPC itself still had the builtin floppy drive, and the zip just blew the floppy away in speed and capacity.

Lovely writing! And I think the understanding that one can and should modify their tools to their needs is rather rare and should be appreciated.

I recently started to enjoy working in Xcode more than before, using Swift. Not sure what changed, but it seems more responsive for lack of a better expression.

I read most of the post, went to the linked project and still don't have an idea what this is about.
