This is pretty nice, but why do a lot of Mac apps insist on living in the menu bar?

Ah yes, like those EUV machines America and China have worked on.

To be fair, it's mostly an evergreen skill because people don't know how to exit.

The argument is that it is older software in the sense that it's unmaintained because better alternatives exist.

Also, I don't believe it is fair to dismiss skeptics as inventing reasons. If anything, "believers" are bending over backwards to praise Anthropic even though they didn't actually release anything.

There are plenty of size limited competitions, too (256 bytes, 4k, 8k, 64k) and competitions for old-school platforms.

This is a fun exercise, but I'm surprised that someone is just dropping nearly $1600 to do so.

The pricing issue is valid, though. It's hard to use a lot of these tools in anger without having to go to fairly expensive plans.

Alternatively, make your site so popular that manufacturers tune their description to work with your site :)

This blog is so much fun to read. Super well written and researched, and it definitely scratches an itch for me. A lot of these tools seemed boring and mysterious to me when I was growing up, but seeing that these tools were actually already really powerful considering the hardware they're running on is very interesting.

I'm curious to see how this will affect WGSL as used by WebGPU. It's probably not a bad idea if that gets replaced at some point, to make it even easier to port shaders from native applications to ones running in the browser.

Your argument is conflating smart phones with social media apps and you seem to be assuming that kids wouldn't have access to their phone in other locations where they are unsupervised, subject to peer pressure, etc.

The "just say no" argument, basically.
