Full title is "Memory Integrity Enforcement: A complete vision for memory safety in Apple devices"

Yes, but just try to download it from them. You have to make an account, agree to all kinds of garbage, and then you still might be stuck in "authorization" like my account is. They removed the auto-update functionality (even the notification!) from the app, so you have to manually go through their horrendous website to download updates.

It's 10x easier to just search reddit or internet archive for a link to the .dmg.


If your name or email address has non-alphanumeric characters, their entire authorization/EULA flow breaks silently. I had to use an old email to get it to work.

> They removed the auto-update functionality (even the notification!) from the app

Oh, they didn’t want to deal with the “token” bullshit they added to the VMware download site that the updates come from. That’s why.

That's not true. The auto-update functionality is still there, it just doesn't find anything. (At least this is the case for Workstation; I assume it's similar for Fusion)


Wireshark it and watch the 403 kick back from the server (because of the new token policy).

With watchOS 26, S9/10 watches will be going to normal ILP64 ARM64.

RAM limitations were one reason to use arm64_32, but a bigger reason is that the first watches were only ARMv7 (32-bit) so by sticking with 32-bit pointers, Apple was able to statically recompile all the 3rd party (ARMv7) apps from LLVM bitcode to arm64_32.

My understanding is that this is a key tenant of visionOS’s design, where apps don’t get access to gaze data (I think unless they’re taking over the full screen?)


> Vulkan runs on Windows, and quite well.

Not everywhere. See the middle bug report, "Zed does not work in Remote Desktop session on windows" (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/26692).

Most Remote Desktop/Terminal Services environments won't have any Vulkan devices available, unless you ship your own software rendererer (like SwiftShader).

Also, NVIDIA only supports Vulkan on Kepler (GTX 600 series), AMD on GCN 1.0 (Radeon HD 7000 series), and most importantly, Intel on Skylake (6000 series). Especially on the Intel side, there are plenty of old but still-supported Windows 10 machines that lack Vulkan support. For many applications that's ok, but IMO not for a text editor.


Apple has supported that ‘-arch’ option in their GCC/Clang since at least the PPC->Intel transition, maybe even earlier (PPC64? NeXT/OPENSTEP?)


Yes, since NEXTSTEP.


That would be NeXT, and their GCC fork.


Running Linux? And up-to-date kernels?

Even if no one’s using it, it’s ok for the kernel to be supported and improved.


Well, no, not running Linux, my bad.


Some EVs allow different levels of regenerative braking to be selected. The Hyundai/Kia E-GMP-based cars have level 0-3 plus a 1-pedal mode, and also an "auto" mode that slows down more based on radar proximity to the car ahead.


The home page has full collections of Inside Macintosh and “New” Inside Macintosh: https://vintageapple.org/

I would also love to see an archive of MacTech, their own web site has a pretty full archive but I always fear it’ll fall offline.


I didn’t realize that IM was written for Pascal for that long, deep into the CodeWarrior days…

With my copy of THINK C, I felt like a medieval scholar having to learn Latin to keep up with the holy texts.


What do you mean by "that long"? that Inside Macintosh ever had C snippets? AFAICT, Inside Macintosh was always about m68k assembly and Pascal.


Oh no, I meant the opposite - that IM had Pascal for that long. Sorry for not being clear.


If it’s parked on the street, that is taking up a lane that could be carrying traffic. (And in some cities it’s common for parallel street parking to turn into a lane from 4-8 PM or similar)
