I've never had a smelly Mac, and I've owned maybe 10 different ones across personal and various work laptops. And 90% of devs I've ever met have used Macs and none of them smell either, so it's zero out of maybe 200+ in my personal experience.

Google Search has been awful for the last couple of years. Good riddance to SEO.

Same. Overuse of the word "genuinely" is another tell.

The new Studio Displays have more powerful chips than the Neo.

Agree. Claude tends to produce better design, but from a system understanding and architecture perspective Codex is the far better model

Everybody says they are, with the main point being they can get the M6 Pros onto TSMC's 2nm node and save 3nm capacity for iPhones.

They are at least nice for comparing it with the max of the Intel. That should really say gives them up to 22 additional hours given the wear on their batteries lol

DeepSeek hasn't been SotA in at least 12 calendar months, which might as well be a decade in LLM years

This guy was into the bagscoin BS that was going on on X this past month. Wouldn't trust a word he says.

Once Chrome does, for many devs, you can simply enforce a version check and say "please use latest Chrome" and be done with it.

winstonp — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 19:15:43 +0000

the new Date() constructor is an amalgamation of like 5 different specs, and unless the input matches one of them, which one kicks in is up to the implementer's choice

Rumor has it M6 Pro will be a total redesign. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how much you trust Apple to nail a next gen design first try again

New comment by winstonp in "Boeing has started working on a 737 MAX replacement"

winstonp — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 18:15:45 +0000

AFAIK the 757 frame is too heavy to be powered by the LEAP engines. Those planes were powered by a class of engine between the old 737 and 777 engines, and nobody makes them anymore because they're not in demand, so a 757 MAX is just not financially viable.
