Thank You for those site. I wish I have the time to start a blog like that. If anything one of my dreams / idea is to actually open an online store and only sell these gadgets.

So this went from people are over reacting to they are not over reacting? I wonder if Tigerbeetle or Ghostty are next?

Time Capsule ( for iOS ), AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, WebObjects, Safari for Windows, XServe, Aperture. These are all the stuff I miss and I wish they would come back. On iPhone Air, currently a…

>it mostly seems to be targeting Garry Tan He is rather unpopular in some circles due to his political opinions. So I am not surprised.

While I agree that would be the goal, we are too early for that. Just like how speech recognition used to require many server in a Datacenter to process and you send your data over. It is now complete…

Took me some time to search. This is a limited Edition and only 650 unit will be produce and sold worldwide. Pricing at 99,000 JPY, or about $630 USD I saw it and I thought this looks really nice and …

I think a lot of people taking this at face value , a lot of this was possible because of the beyond standard extensive and comprehensive test suit previously built.

It is not even switched on in some early version of WiFi 7 router and receivers. As a general rule of thumb, the best version of WiFi x will only come with WiFi x+1. So for all the problems to be solv…

I thought this is worth post because it has longer than usual Resolved Issues. I am guessing this will be the basis for Safari 27. One of the problem / issue with Safari Release note is that it o…

There is also UPI in India, and I assume something coming soon from China. I sometimes do wonder if these Goverment can work together on a single payment system, federally operated but connected.

Vision Pro is at least 10 to 15 years ahead of its time. Had they done it in 2033+, the tech would have been a lot better and affordable. But even then I doubt it will be successful.

I thought the US crossed that mark long ago. According to FED [1] it was in 2013. Could someone explain what the WSJ means given the article is behind a paywall. [1] https://fred.stlouisfed…

I understand your argument, but part of this comparison is between Net profits and Revenue. While it cost Meta close to zero to have that ad space, it does cost meta money to run their platform. It is…

I dont know why this keeps coming up? It is a closed loop system. The water aren't used at all.

Nice to see this being top comments. For a long time Ads were nearly universally seen as evil on HN ( and wider Silicon Valley ) and the topic discussions will always be downvoted, flag or becomes a m…

The was the problem when Tim / Craig merge all OS under the same team, in the name of efficiency. On the surface it makes sense. iOS, macOS, iPadOS, or even tvOS. They share largely the same code…

Turns out it is not Nvidia, Qualcomm or ARM themselves to help ARM dominate the server space. But Amazon. This makes me wonder if Amazon will start selling not only the Graviton CPU but the whole Serv…

I really think Craig needs to go. I can't remember a single software decision under his tenure that is good. Having said that I don't know who can replace him. Bertrand Serlet, Avie Tevanian…
