Problem Solution Affected Games What Apple could do Problem I've submitted the issue described in this post to Apple as FB13375033. This issue has been open since September of 2023. If you game on a MacBook display - your game is probably rendering wrong unless you've adjusted your settings.

Gordon Ramsey - famous hater of restaurant microwaves - throwing one out a window Last weekend I wrote a thing about microwaves that was actually about LLMs. I banged it out after I got mad reading more internet nonsense about LLMs. I thought just a few people on Mastodon would read it. More people than I expected read it. It's not my best writing.

As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito.

In my last post - I wrote about my experiences with agentic LLM coding - specifically Claude Code. I also wrote that I felt like the tool as slowing me down without me realizing it. This post is a follow up. I'd like to write about other things - so this post is my way of putting a pin in the subject for now.

Back in 2005, Jobs spent months trying to figure out what to say to Stanford’s graduates. Newly released materials show how he went from hopelessly flailing to delivering a talk for the ages.

I'm trying to get back into blogging and as part of that I'm going to start posting my personal projects for the month. It's something to keep me posting regularly and also a nice way to hold myself accountable for progress. I'm working on a few things right now: I made improvements in OpenAL-Soft for detecting surround speaker configurations on macOS.

Screenshot of Uru running on a iPhone 16 Pro Max Over the past few years I've been been working on the Mac version of Cyan's Plasma engine. This engine was used for Cyan titles like RealMyst, Myst V, and Uru. I've been maintaining the port as part of the open source H'uru project. I always wanted to port to iPad as well.
