I haven't used it but it looks more like a UAD Luna clone. Which of course is also another DAW so basically same thing.

I think there are many reasons to use Safari (in fact, it's my de facto personal browser) but I feel that being faster is not one of them.

How so? AFAIK performance is one of the main focuses of Safari and one of the main distinguishing factors that Apple strives for.

There's a whole chapter on it in Creative Selection (by Ken Kocienda who started the project) on how they were only allowed to release versions as fast or faster than the one before.

What baffles me is people having the stock macOS apps in the Dock without taking the time to at least remove what they don't use. I think this goes to show that for most people they don't even notice the Dock is there.

Vast majority of computer users (including phones) don’t customize anything beyond the out of the box set up. In fact, I’d that’s even true for my sass customers, only particular percentage of them use any of the customizable settings. Which is why UX is so hard, we have to do our best to make sensible default choices. As technologists, it’s very easy to forget this while on the thick of it.

Yes drives me mad.

Maybe they don’t realise you can change what’s there?

They don’t care. They’re not power users, they’ll use whatever defaults are there, and as long as they’re good enough, stick.

The only terrible thing is the food they're having.

While I mostly agree with DHH's take on this particular technological cycle, this is a very well thought out criticism.

Even the concept of "framework" as we knew it becomes different in this age. If you only want reusability, why not use plain good old libraries and let the AI assemble them as needed for your project?

Spaniard here, it's interesting that I haven't noticed any disruption with archive.is in the last weeks. Just checked today and though that it might be iCloud relay, but i don't have it enabled. I'm only using Google's DNS and am too lazy to try with my ISP ones.

Compare this to the absolute mayhem with the soccer matches blocking that will bring down an inordinate amount of legitimate sites during a match.

Not sure what are the technical measures they are deploying in one case or the other but I suspect that when Telefonica is involved they bring the big guns.

I am blocked, now need to access it through VPN. Using pepephone/orange.

For 2, I just keep these little thingies that come with the sliced bread bags. Of course that requires a little thingies box.

I have decided to not keep many cables. USB thingies, DVIs, VGAs, audio... you can get it from Amazon in pinch with same day delivery and I don't have that much space to spare.

But you can pry my Palm data cables from my cold, dead hands.

I agree with you 100%. except for some legacy stuff that would be pretty hard to find I toss everything else out. If I really need it I can just buy a new one.....turns out I never need to buy a new one....yeah maybe once every 10 years....

> the models are also just not for me as a software engineer (...) these models increasingly are for other people. For lawyers, 3D artists, mathematicians

This is a good observation, perhaps AI will not completely replace humans ins software engineering because by the time it has the capability to do so like in write a prompt and get a CRM coded for you, tokens are so expensive that you are better off spending them to substitute other disciplines (what about automating the work of the customers that would become records in that CRM?).
