Good morning from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! ☕️
Kim and I rented a place for a week to share with our kids, grandkids, and our dogs! We arrived around 7PM Friday evening, got setup, had some pizza, and pretty much passed out.
We haven’t had time to do any real recon of the are but I did manage to find a decent pizza joint and a Food Lion so we could pick up odds and ends to stock the fridge for the week.
From Friday to Tuesday it’s all about our kids and grandkids. Tuesday forward it’ll just be Kim and I and our oldest grandchild until next Saturday.
I was hoping to get some extra bunk time but that ain’t gonna happen with a puppy who thinks 5:30AM is play time. 🤣
We’re going to have a great time at the beach and whatever else we can drum up.
Enjoy the links.
But even just a small taste of VisionOS made me feel confident that it is going to be the next major platform for Apple and Apple developers, alongside MacOS and iOS/iPadOS.
I wasn’t too excited about any new AR/VR headset Apple was set to release, then I saw it in the keynote.
At first I was disappointed because they were showing someone in an office using it to replace their monitor(s) and that’s kind of boring.
The we see someone celebrating a child’s birthday wearing the headset. Really? What a complete douchebag. No, seriously, that’s a really bad move.
But, when I saw them demonstrate watching movies with it, I was excited! That is what I’d use it for!
Am I spending $3,500 anytime soon on one? Hell no! It’s still to early for me, especially at that price. It’s hard to justify it.
Donald Trump himself broke the news this evening that he’s been indicted—making him the first former president to ever be charged with a federal crime.
King ding dong himself is finally being indicted for his retention of government documents. It’s not about him accidentally having a few mixed in with his other papers, it’s about boxes of them, not returning them on request, and lying that he did return them.
The right like to say “What about Biden and Pence?” Indeed, what about them. They self reported having documents and turned them over right away.
TFG is a real garbage human wrapped in a suit. My hope is, at a minimum, he’s banned from running for any federal office ever again.
Easy question – hard answer, how to I convert a hex string to hex byte string in C?
Go along for the ride. I haven’t taken the time to think through how to solve this and I only have nits to pick with Colin’s solution.
Richmond’s post-graduation mass shooting reflects America’s gun violence epidemic
This is so sickening. The shooting is absolutely horrific but to do it at a graduation? It’s heartbreaking how callous our nation has become.😔
This document is the reference guide describing how to mix Swift and C++
Since this was done as an official way to use C++ from Swift there was all kinds of thought out into safety. That’s fine, but if you have a great hunk of C++ that has been thoroughly tested and you feel good about it you probably don’t need the training wheels provided by this support.
Just wrap your C++ in a thin layer of Objective-C++ and call it from your Swift code without penalty. 🤷🏻♂️
Goodbye, CNN’s Chris Licht. But what’s the lesson?
I know he screwed the pooch with that TFG interview thing but man, that was pretty quick.
The number of 2019 Mac Pros sold cannot be huge, but the new one’s numbers are going to be even smaller. As a Mac Pro fan that worries me. Yes, there are users who are reliant on PCI solutions and I’m sure those folks will upgrade to this new machine at some point.
Who is this computer for? That’s the question on most folks minds. When I heard it wasn’t nearly as expandable as the 2019 version it made me wonder why they bothered? Beyond the awesome SOC it doesn’t have more to offer than its 2019 counterpart.
Then again, I’ve never been the target of this computer. I’m still using a 2019 MacBook Pro and I’m fine with it. Heck, I have a brand new M2 based MacBook Pro sitting in a box waiting for me to set it up. 🤣
But as Adams scanned the bustling crowd of King Penguins, elephant seals, and Antarctic fur seals, he spotted something bizarre in the distance.
Go check out the post. This bird is gorgeous and I want it.
Could The NASCAR Garage 56 Camaro Beat Every GTE Car At Le Mans?
I’d love to watch this all the way through but that’s not gonna happen. I hope NASCAR has partnered with someone to do a full documentary on it. The process from concept to reality to running the race. I hope it makes it the full 24 hours. That alone would be a huge victory.
