Updates

macOS 27.2 fixes the issue with Spaces! Thank fuck.

A couple of years ago, I was asked, “How would you like to be remembered?” And my answer was “That I was very funny.”

Sean McVay… really upset.

• Mike Tirico, as the Rams head coach is shown screaming “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?” at an official.

I can’t believe we’re at game 162 already - this season flew past! Lots to look forward to in 2027.

Apple was apparently working on a new solar wallpaper engine during the Golden Gate release cycle that didn’t make it into the shipped version. Here’s how to enable it. (Hat tip: pdfu.)

In case you were hoping Golden Gate fixes Tahoe’s abysmal window management… it doesn’t.

I mentioned Mosaic recently - Sports Business Journal has a great story about MLB hiring the developer. Props to the league, it would have been simple for them to just send a cease and desist and I’m glad for Jason Weingardt and for baseball fans that they didn’t. (via Jason Snell)

Did I immediately install the iOS 27 developer beta? C’mon. Of course.

It’s WWDC eve! Excited to see what Tim John Apple brings us.

^EMBIGGEN!

These photos were taken 24 hours apart. Gotta love a Colorado spring 😂

This season of The Traitors is so, so incredibly good. The level of gameplay this time around is top notch and the twists are very clever.

Also, I have to have this t-shirt.

Each day brings a new surprise. Which desktops will Tahoe have randomly reshuffled my apps to this time?

I vaguely remember when window management on macOS just worked. Those were the days.

Things Claude and I built this week.

Hard to believe this album just turned 20. All killer, no filler.

I thought Gemini 3 was pretty great, but I had no idea how good Claude Code is.

Gemini

• Pro: Free (through work), successfully used it to take a boilerplate Astro install and make it a fairly customised site.
• Con: Constantly disregarded standing instructions (and got all Marvin the Paranoid Android about it when called out). Made assumptions that were all too often not based in fact (example: this is an Astro project, therefore it uses Tailwind - even though GEMINI.md says it does not).

Claude

• Pro: Just gets it right. I spent a couple of hours on this minor redesign and at no point did I have to correct Claude or repeat an instruction to do (or not do) something. By the end I was just hitting yes on proposed code changes - I see how people feel comfortable enabling yolo mode.
• Con: Not free. That’s the whole list.

I should have done this sooner.

Just sayin’.

I hate hot weather. 40 degrees? GTFO.

Traditions are important.

This is my favourite Christmas song - the original is a bit overdone (blasphemy, I know) but Christy Moore’s version is beautiful.

Did anyone at Apple actually test Edge Light with multiple monitors? If you’re using an external camera, the edge light just floats around to whichever screen you happen to be using - and not immediately, on some vague, indeterminate schedule. You can change the color temperature and the brightness, but not attach it to a specific screen. It’s not a bad feature - just seems a bit half-baked… which seems to be a theme, lately.
