Hmm, I second this. Haven't compared Qwen3.5 122B yet, but played around with OpenCode + Qwen3-Coder-Next yesterday and did manual comparisons with Claude Code and Claude Code is still far ahead in general felt "intelligence quality".

There were times when we couldn't await to upgrade to the next Mac OS version. Tahoe is not one of those versions.

Already iOS 26 made me consider switching to Android, and now I've pondered returning to Linux after 26 years on Mac OS. Bizarrely, right now it's the quality of the hardware alone holding me at Mac OS. Wouldn't have expected that 6 or 7 years ago.

Sick of the forced UI refreshes and "modern" designs. Will Apple understand again this is where I work and basically live in and not some kind of entertainment system where I need design refreshes so it feels all shiny and new?

Some things sound very clever in your head until you say them aloud.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

Next step: Start Chrome in emulated X86CSS and start X86CSS in emulated Chrome.

One of the major problems of MySQL and its many derivatives is the splintering of the ecosystem.

Would rather prefer people would cooperate on ONE fork, e.g. get your extension framework integrated into MariaDB or something.

> This assumes the code you wrote is already correct and giving the correct answer, so why bother writing tests?

It catches regressions. Which is the one thing where such semi-automated testing is most useful in my eyes.

No clue though why they gave it that weird "expect" name. Basically, it's semi-automated regression testing.

Expect is a classic Unix testing utility. So naming it expect gives it a connection to that heritage.

Hmm, yes, I know that one and one of the reasons why I considered the naming weird. Original Tcl expect is rather automation than testing in the slot in my mind it occupies, even if it maybe could be (badly) used as a testing tool.

MariaDB has system-versioned tables, too, albeit a bit worse than MS SQL as you cannot configure how to store the history, so they're basically hidden away in the same table or some partition: https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-structure/temp...

This has, at least with current MariaDB versions, the annoying property that you really cannot ever again modify the history without rewriting the whole table, which becomes a major pain in the ass if you ever need schema changes and history items block those.

Maria still has to find some proper balance here between change safety and developer experience.

It's totally buggy unfortunately, and has been for years. Also, all time limit features are circumventable by switching time zones for example.

Sometimes apps will randomly appear to have time limits which the parent has never set also.

It's really a bugfest through and through.

This is crazy, friends told me apple was good on this, before we had to get a phone for our self, I now think they simply don't understand whats happening. It looks fine to non-tech parents i guess. The question is, what can be used as an alternative? I had first tried an old Android phone, but theres no way to disable app store, so kid figured out he can watch app store videos with no limit...

Android's not better, unfortunately. We also tried them for the kids, and most protection software back then simply could be killed by rebooting the phone and overloading the phone a bit immediately after reboot.

Wished he'd spend as much as effort on writing endings for his books as on that blog post.

Sorry. Just grumpy, cause I always love the first 80% of his books and then they somehow... just disintegrate.

While I support protecting insects and I literally see how their amounts decreased since I've been a child, I wished people would stop the alarmist "food supply in danger" headline. It's not, at least not because of the insects. Most of our food supply is not dependent on wild insects, instead people usually pay for cultivated bees to pollinate their plants. Business is too serious to rely on circumstance.

The real problem is that loads of the wild plant life depends on wild insects, and we do not want to lose that.

Don't get me wrong. Neither I deny climate change, nor do I say we should destroy nature as much as we do.

But we need to start talking the truth instead of invented talking points, or people won't take science serious anymore... even more than they already ignore it.

Interactions between species are scarcely understood in general, if they are known at all. It's only very recently that the existence of mycelial networks was discovered. It's only very recently that the importance of micro biome and it's role in health is starting to be recognized. It's only in hindsight that impact of the near extinction of vultures in India on human health was understood.

History has shown industrialized humans to be dangerously ignorant of environmental systems, and almost every action we take with regard to these systems is destructive. Every extinction is irreversible. Things are so wildly out of equilibrium now that it's no longer possible to return to the equilibria from our past.

Ecological collapse isnt some mild inconvenience that makes milk more expensive. Once it has happened, ecological collapse cannot and will not be undone by the seriousness of "business." This type of thinking embodies exactly the kind of arrogant hubris that led us into this situation. The negative feedback loops that have kept earth habitable for us so far aren't laws of nature, and no-one knows how far they can be bent before breaking, or how they even work.
