I resisted for a while, but I finally upgraded my Mac to Tahoe (version 26.4). The rumors are true: The adaptation of Liquid Glass to macOS is really ugly, lacking polish, and sometimes even hard to read. First time I've seen Apple fail this badly at UI and UX.

Why is WebAssembly a second-class language on the web? – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembl...

We could finally write programs for the browser in any language that compiles to WebAssembly. And even mix and match multiple languages. It would be amazing.

I like the similarity between Richard Rumelt’s strategy kernel and John Boyd’s OODA loop:
> Diagnosis/Challenge = Observe & Orient
> Guiding policy/Crux = Decide
> Coherent actions = Act

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens.

Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals.

Microsoft and Software Survival Microsoft got hammered on Wall Street for capacity allocation decisions that were the right ones: the software that wins will use AI to usurp other software.

When I started in the late '90s, IT was a mix of "build" and "buy." Teams were still developing their own software. Today, most departments only buy (mostly SaaS). But with agentic coding drastically lowering the cost of custom development, "build" is making a comeback.

in a world shifting toward agentic coding, where humans essentially review code rather than write it, do we still need dynamically typed languages?

No, DeepMind has not solved the protein folding problem.

#Alphafold predictions are valuable hypotheses and accelerate but do not replace experimental structure determination.

Just saw this on HN: "Nerd: A language for LLMs, not humans". Interesting take, because I think precisely the opposite. Coding agents let us produce a lot of code, code that we need to review. We need languages optimized for code generation by AI, and code review by humans.

What’s even crazier is the number of people who are still fine supporting and associating themselves with him despite this.

I think that most people think of browser tabs as things that only work online (because they see the URL), and installed apps as things that work offline. I know it’s not strictly true from a technical perspective, but the UX suggests this.

Thanks for the links! Electrobun seems similar to Tauri, in the sense it is using an OS provided webview.

I mostly agree. It’s Chrome OS vision, where all apps are essentially PWA. It works well in Chrome OS because it feels you can install the apps. But I think that on the other platforms that feeling of “apps” is missing. Browsers support installing PWA, but the UX is not very obvious.

What's the solution?
Tauri? (but what about subtle differences between OSes?)
React Native? (but it seems stronger on mobile than desktop?)
Flutter? (same concern as RN)

I'm fine with Electron apps over native apps. The benefit of "write once, run everywhere" is just too hard to ignore. But can we find a way to reduce the RAM usage?

It should be possible running Slack, Discord, Notion, Figma, Obsidian & Bitwarden together without OOM errors…

Why AI won't cause mass unemployment without a breakthrough on AGI

All the talks about AI replacing all jobs seem premature. AI will not cause mass unemployment without a breakthrough on AGI. What makes us believe that unlocking the secrets of intelligence is easier than unlocking the secrets of Alzheimer’s or cancer?
