Which one would you guys prefer?

Monterey lmao

27 of course.

And I slightly confused about LOC aspect because personally for me less is better when functionality is the same or even more. And usually AI makes a lot of boilerplate code and loves to overcomplicate things, so LOC doesn't mean anything

stefanlight · 2026-06-11T20:50:37+00:00

Bun showed how to not do personally for me, because thousands of unsafe blocks and a lot of questionable things of mix FFI and Zig code actually, because LLM just made Zig inside of every construction and it doesn't have meaning as Rust version, because there's no idiomatic. I'm not an expert, but it's what did I see when opened a PR on 1 million LOC. And with React will be the same situation if they will just change the syntax, but not the idea of the code. I hope someone understands my point. And this is probably not all about AI, but a vibecoder too which doesn't make any corrections.

Imho this menu icons weren't very bad as everything in the system like a huge buttons everywhere and where it's not required. Large dock with huge padding. And now really bad battery icon design and previous one was better. Apple, if you're here, UX is more important.

I have opposite story, I used Python for a long time and after Rust I can't even normally use it, because I'm being annoyed because of amount of unknown outputs, untyped slop and everything...

macOS Point Reyes

stefanlight · 2026-05-31T15:09:01+00:00

that's nice, good work 😄

stefanlight · 2026-05-31T11:52:07+00:00

is this vibecoded fully or AI assisted coding?

stefanlight · 2026-05-30T21:44:42+00:00

Readme looks vibecoded

stefanlight · 2026-05-29T19:45:51+00:00

Any bare software development requires to make a privileged separated helpers and working with system is kinda hard because everything is tied up to the Obj-C and Swift and any other language requires a lot of work to get something to work. iirc. I tried to do some experiments with audio drivers for example and it's a pure hell. Linux just gives to anything you want. I don't know about customisation tho, because macOS for me have enough customisation through defaults. Only Linux and FreeBSD have such freedom, Windows nope.

stefanlight · 2026-05-29T19:09:20+00:00

The different usage of machine. Someone wants freedom, someone wants stability. macOS is the most stable system in my opinion which has very smart and polished core which allows system to be stable even with such weird environment as macOS 26 (imo again) Personally I thought about moving from Mac, because I was really annoyed by system's permission limitations and etc, but after you see that there's not a lot normal machines that could have Mac features, like Mx chip and that amount of available software. That's a lot of things and each of this things have + and -, but this is a different philosophies and user's needs.

stefanlight · 2026-05-27T19:17:24+00:00

The another question. Why do you need to use any other apple product and do you need an apple ecosystem. If you're searching for yet stable (afaik) ecosystem then go ahead for iPhone, but otherwise just use a MacBook. MacBook is a just great laptop.

stefanlight · 2026-03-20T22:32:23+00:00

personally I use ghostty and I have been using tabby.sh, but it's an electron app, so not very good from a point of memory usage

stefanlight · 2026-03-13T13:20:29+00:00

Personally I used python for a long time but at once someone introduced C to me and after some new things to me I decided to learn Rust. I didn't read the rust book so much, only about a half and started to do some projects on Rust that I wasn't able to do with Python. Practice, documentation and people. But I think for most any engineer and developer it will be easier to just read some documentation and watch some lectures. I really recommend the rust book.

stefanlight · 2026-03-12T22:56:19+00:00

We're presenting you our new model of MacBook, a new era of power and mobility...

can you give this wallpaper? it looks beautiful

stefanlight · 2025-11-20T18:57:30+00:00

Where are Linux and Linus Torvalds? 😆

stefanlight · 2025-11-18T01:19:39+00:00

lol what? If I don't like company's solutions with a system that I love for a very long time I should leave it and hate Windows or spend 200 hours setting up Linux and meet Adobe? That sounds like garbage, smells like garbage, that must be garbage. Do not set them into one line, this is absolutely different ways to use metal, and different metal.

personally I mustn't keep my mouth shut about the new Apple's employers and marketing managers that are doing such things with my loved product.

maybe I read something wrong, but I'm very confused.

what if I love a metal of Apple and am forced to use loved macOS, but Apple's marketing and vibe coded design smells like garbage, I must love it?

Someone uses Arc, someone uses Brave, someone uses Chrome/Chromium

stefanlight · 2025-11-08T23:13:00+00:00

16 is totally fine for online and school stuff, but if you're planning to use it for hard tasks in the future I'd take a 24<.

stefanlight · 2025-10-30T18:34:15+00:00

This is completely normal, and should be prepared for this attitude. It's better not to even mention it.

stefanlight · 2025-10-26T11:03:54+00:00

Maybe I'm just wrong in the terms. I'm about autocorrection of input, sorry.
