It's funny how PostgreSQL used to be the "last viable option" in OpenGroupware, but is now the most powerful one. Back then pretty much everything else was better, Sybase, FrontBase, Oracle. Except maybe MySQL, PG was always better than that.

We got some Windows tablet w/ a stylus for testing purposes while I was at Apple. "You have to get them and put them away and you lose them. yuck". The latter is precisely what happened to that Windows tablet, the stylus got lost at some meeting and was gone forever.

I think the biggest problem of SwiftUI is that it is quite different to Cocoa and the elderly don't want to learn something new. It really does have a set of actual issues, but IMO the majority of complaints (not all of them) is founded in ignorance / unwillingness to invest the time to actually […]

Almost forgot my own birthday - ZeeZide turned 11 today. Maybe I should rename to 1ee1ide, looks 1337.

Remember how you forgot how obvious it was to buy Amazon stock when Corona started?
Or Thyssen-Krupp when Russia started the war and the US didn't stop them?
Maybe the obvious thing to buy now is European IT infrastructure/software stocks. It's a bet, but maybe a whole lot of US things have to […]

The most surprising thing is when WW3 isn't going to be started by the Russians, but by the US taking land from their own allies.

A #swiftlang trick I've just learned: Instead of writing `case .some(let v)` one can write `case let v?`. Or `case let (lhs?, rhs?)` instead of `( .some(let lhs), .some(let rhs ) )`.
I looks a little weird because the `?` suggests optionality, but it is more shorter +++

Elsewhere the question came up whether at-MainActor (or default MainActor in consequence) would make sense in server side apps. I think it may do. For the same reasons that no concurrency makes things easier on the client side (you live in only one isolation and don't have to care much about any […]

There is the claim that with AI “code is cheap” *now*. I think code was always cheap. Typing stuff out is the smallest part of building original software (or even reimplementing it). That’s why you’ll easily find like 10+ clones even for niché tech like WebObjects, and thousands of todo apps […]

I find it a little funny when people bring up slop code as an argument against AI. For one, those people must not have read a lot of human produced code, which is mostly slop, but also that things trained on that slop will obviously produce more slop ;-)

In forums you get a lot more of those coding questions which are followed up with "Claude(/xyz) is suggesting this, but is this correct?". I mean, WTF.
