same here! I got into Scratch at the age of 7 and without it (and the Scratch community), I wouldn’t have any career (or even a plan for one). I also worked as an intern on the Scratch team at the Scratch Foundation.
I also know that one of the important developers for the Asahi Linux drivers also started on Scratch. I think there’s a lot of real software engineers who started on Scratch (and the Scratch community, which is often overlooked)
These 'integrations' everywhere just mean we get more APIs that can be accessed programmatically, which I think is good for users, even if you don't plan to use to use AI. It's like the optimistic web 2.0 APIs everywhere days
If I were to guess I’d say they went with Safari because of Internet Explorer that used to be the Mac’s default browser. In a safari tour you discover and explore, so keeping up with the discovery theme we have Internet >Explorer<, Netscape >Navigator< and Apple >Safari<.
This is all just conjecture though so take it with a grain of salt.
I know agents have lowered the cost to make a website to be a few cents for tokens and a couple dollars for a domain name, but isn’t all this a little excessive for a few line long markdown file!? Why not just display the ‘skill’ itself with a few lines commenting on what it does/how it helps?
This is something I’ve seen before. Someone is registering domain names related to open source projects and then ‘creating’ slop websites about the projects. Not sure what the play is, or whether this falls into that category, but it’s really weird and takes control away from open source maintainers in a scary way. Maybe it’s extortion or maybe it’s an malware thing. I highly doubt it’s out of the goodness of someone’s heart.
Open source maintainers shouldn’t have to register their projects as trademarks/proactively register domains to avoid this, but that seems like the only strategy?
Best case scenario they’ll try to monetize the site. Worse case it’s a malware distribution play (can eventually change legit repo link to malicious repo)
I have not tried it myself and I'm skeptical of reviewers on the topic of touchpad. I remember sitting next to someone who seemed to be using Photoshop in a MacBook professionally like literally making fine edits with a cursor more than ten years ago.
While I'm sure our track pads have gotten better, I doubt we have reached the level of Apple's track pads.
I don't know how much of an accolade I can give a USD 2k+ device for having almost the same trackpad experience as a USD 999 MacBook.
I’m in Japan right now on a holiday and I was blown away by how easy it was to get set up with Suica through Apple Wallet / Apple Pay. In fact, I did the initial set up back home in Toronto just by tapping a few buttons in the native Apple Wallet app. Took probably 30 seconds.
It is so convenient to use Express Transit Cards on iOS… I also just found out that there’s something similar for Presto cards in Toronto so I’m going to have to set that up too.
In Japan right now. I didn’t even have to install anything, just went to Apple Wallet, add card, selected Suica, and then could create and load up a card. Plus it gets set up as an express transit card so I can tap my locked phone to pay for transit or snacks (even when it’s dead). Super pleasant experience.
