“Just a little detail that wouldn’t sell anything” – Unsung A blog about software craft and quality

For my 150th (!) post, a look back at Apple’s breathing lights: unsung.aresluna.org/just-a-littl...

Oh I loved those!

Swift Compiler Backend Engineer - Jobs - Careers at Apple Apply for a Swift Compiler Backend Engineer job at Apple. Read about the role and find out if it’s right for you.

The Swift Performance team isn’t *my* team, but they’re in my hallway. Or in London if you’d prefer. They’re looking for an engineer who’s not afraid of optimizers. jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail...

GitHub - antirez/qwen-asr: C inference for Qwen3-ASR 0.6b and 1.7b transcriptions models C inference for Qwen3-ASR 0.6b and 1.7b transcriptions models - antirez/qwen-asr

Qwen3-ARS transcription models inference in C is ready: github.com/antirez/qwen...

This is by far the most practical model for quick inference on low end CPUs. Perfect for things like transcribing bots, voice-driven UIs, and so forth.

Such a lovely game with a strong soul

Punxsutawney Phil Sees His Shadow, Leaving U.S. in the Cold The supposedly meteorologically gifted rodent saw his shadow, suggesting several more weeks of winter. (Forecasters agreed, at least for this week.)

After a brutal stretch of winter weather in many parts of the U.S., especially the East Coast, there was an eagerness on Monday to grab on to any sign of hope for warmth. Punxsutawney Phil did not oblige.

Tangent: I wouldn’t put it this way, but rather that taste is personality. Strong taste strong personality. Ira Glass’s “Taste Gap” comes to mind.

I’ve been working on this for a while, but let’s make it official: I started a little Tumblr-like microblog about software craft and quality!

You can sign up via RSS or a weekly newsletter digest. There’s already almost two months of content, if you just want to check it out.

Missed opportunity to put a modern ortholinear layout in it

Aside: It’s unfortunate that such good writing is so poorly typeset

Only available at P&C, because we made it.

Brilliant idea

It’s the unfortunate culture of the Web platform (which has infected iOS.) Avoiding the web whenever I can. Feels like a dead end these days if you want to enjoy the process of making software

It’s been a year and I use them but I have absolutely no idea what a passkey is. Half the time login fails with them and I have to do something else that works (like a password). I refuse to understand more. I’m tired of computers and don’t care. This is what it’s like for every non-nerd, isn’t it?

That’s right, and I’m a European citizen :•)

lol

Tangential: zk-snark is the best name. Reminds me of “snarf” in Plan-9’s Acme editor. Delightful

Mimestream is a contender, pretty good, but has some minor annoyances and bugs

What are you favourite well-made apps and sites? Phones and computers alike.

Doesn’t have to be “pretty,” but well-made according to whatever definition works for you.

Do you ever rest your hand on the trackpad? That’s what I do and that’s when it clicks randomly if I have that setting turned on

Another must is turning off “Touch to Click”

Seems b0rked on iOS (error when tapping links)
