Life is Short - Paul Graham [2016] β This essay might seems to be stating pretty obvious stuff but it is rich in realizations that come with age.
Mac bug for 10+ years: "In some cases the audio balance may unexpectedly drift towards the left or right channel. This can happen if you rapidly press the volume up or down keys while the computer's microprocessor is under heavy load"
Virtual Machines (QEMU) on iOS β I actually sat down and compiled this yesterday. It works but itβs very slow obviously; takes a few minutes just to boot anything, (itβs emulating x86 CPU instructions on ARM). Itβs also buggy as itβs very early in development phase. Still mind blowing to be able to boot Ubuntu (or Android!) on an iPhone/iPad.
I like to imagine that one day Apple will release something like this. And if they did it, it will be much much faster. I firmly believe the future programmers will be coding on iPads. Imagine running XCode on your iPad and running the app directly on the same iPad instead of a simulator. There are other projects out there approaching the problem from other angles: iSH is a Linux shell on iOS, JSLinux is x86 emulation in JavaScript(!!!).
Throwaway Code β Discusses a common pattern: writing throwaway code to test an idea. But many times that code doesnβt get rewritten and ends up in production (I am very much guilty of that π ).

TIP OF THE WEEK
Try `cal` command in your terminal:
Itβs my go-to way to quickly see the calendar. Here are a few more usage examples.
