Mac and iOS developer at the Iconfactory, where he has worked on apps including Twitterrific and Tot. He writes about development at furbo.org.
Another bug with iOS 27.1: when your app launches in a partially folded state, the view’s traitCollection has a compact horizontal size class. If you close the Duo, and then open it partially, the horizontal size class is regular. This can lead to weird layouts when you launch an app in the partially folded state: only workaround is to close/open device again. Weirdly, auto layout constraints in a storyboard aren’t affected by this. It’s something in the UIViewController transition methods. Related

CEO of Positive Sum and founder of Colossus. Hosts Invest Like the Best, interviewing investors and business leaders; the guests do most of the talking there.
Despite being widely regarded as one of the best venture investors of all time, Michael Moritz says he's never once felt like he was good at something: "I've never felt I'm really good at something. That's not false modesty on my part. Everybody is plagued by doubts and competitiveness. And it's a failing on my part. I have a very difficult time celebrating good things and celebrating success. I think I've always felt everything is unfinished and could be improved. None of it's ever been perfect. Sometimes when I paint and compare a painting to what I might have been able to paint 10 years ag… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years.

Yesterday I worked for ~20hs with my agents using Cursor and Claude and when I moved to sleep time I turned on the "autonomous" skill to all my agents. Today, checking the work done, almost 40% was blocked because reasons and when I ask they say "Sorry, my work was left unfinished..." Weird... computation outage? Anthropic Related

Programmer, musician and author of The Passionate Programmer; organised RubyConf and RailsConf and has worked as a CTO.
Bluesky I've long argued that components should be tiny: small enough to understand, change, or throw away. This paper suggests something related: The developers can be tiny too. 1,000+ finite-lived agents build a 250K-line compiler. The project persists. The programmers don’t. arxiv.org

Former options market maker who writes Moontower, a newsletter on trading, volatility, decision-making and how to think about risk outside markets too.
Their words
Naysayers will have a lot to object about Rand. But Roark embodied integrity. Integrity is more complicated than Rand presents. I don’t think the hardest questions are in here. But Roark is a good guide for many decisions life will throw at you even if he is an incomplete (or possibly just unfinished) hero.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
