bouke··on Once Claude can measure something, it can make it faster
Interesting read. Could this be why recently support for Safari 26 has been going downhill? Especially Claude Artefacts where it either doesn't work, or says my browser isn't supported.
bouke··on I rented a car, and within hours my driver's license was for sale
I read an article, and within seconds my personal data was shared with 229 “partners”.
bouke··on I miss the old Claude Code

bouke··on Gallium: Why the US Cannot Produce Precision Missiles and Fully-Functional F-35s
> That is a decade-plus undertaking, not a budget line.

Reads like your typical opus.

bouke··on BMW Spider-Man in-car advertising
1-series owners, who don’t represent typical BMW owners.
bouke··on About the security content of macOS Tahoe 26.6
The question now is, is 27 sufficient enough of an improvement over 15 to upgrade and tolerate Liquid Glass?
bouke··on Claude Opus 5
How hard can it be to be to correctly annotate the table? DeepSWE doesn’t have a highlight either; Fable slightly better than Opus (69.7% vs 68.8%).
bouke··on Claude Code: Anatomy of a Misfeature
Yeah same here, very annoying and counterproductive. The terminal is not a place where one expects hot buttons.
bouke··on If you're a button, you have one job
Or another bug seen in the wild: the image rotates opposite to the button’s icon label.
bouke··on Show HN: Homebrew 6.0.0
That would be Max Howell @mxcl who started Homebrew: https://x.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768
bouke··on Siri AI
Yep. I get anxious when Safari starts to offer a new password for an existing account. Having access to previous passwords would be such great UX, but no, no such thing.
bouke··on Why German trains are never on time anymore
Lack of funding, postponement of maintenance, degraded infrastructure. And now too much bureaucracy to get it fixed.
bouke··on Heat pump sales rise across Europe
Yeah big surprise that the populist government didn’t achieve anything and rolled back green initiatives. Good thing that they fell, sad that it took so long.
bouke··on Mistral Medium 3.5

bouke··on Death to Scroll Fade
This! And to make matters worse is the header is removed from the document flow, causing the content to jump up when scrolling down. And if you then scroll up to try to read the content that jumped out of the viewport, the stupid header is injected back into the flow causing the content to jump down again. Sigh.
bouke··on JetBrains is shutting down "Code With Me" in all its IDEs
It never really worked well in Rider, but I really wanted to use it more. Such a great tool to do some (remote) pair programming and perform a shared debugging session.
bouke··on Agent Safehouse – macOS-native sandboxing for local agents
I've read through the agent investigation of Codex on macOS. It looks like the default sandbox is pretty limited, however it doesn't match my experience:

- I asked the agent to change my global git username, Codex asked my permission to execute `git config --global user.name "Botje"` and after I granted permission, it was able to change this global configuration.

- I asked it to list my home directory and it was able to (this time without Codex asking for permission).

bouke··on Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts
I'm curious about what updates will get pushed through that channel. Is it just RTM updates, or will it also include beta updates? It's currently offering 15.7.5 through that channel.
bouke··on Fish Shell 4.0 released. Rust re write finished
(2025)
bouke··on iOS 27 'Rave' Update to Clean Up Code, Could Boost Battery Life
Same with macOS. I'm sticking with Sequoia, but don't know what to do if macOS 27 turns out to be just as ugly as Tahoe.
bouke··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
Same. I have both NL + EN configured languages on my keyboard and I couldn't reproduce it with either NL/EN and EN/NL. In the video you can see they have 4 keyboards configured. It would be helpful to know which keyboard they are using.
bouke··on High-speed train collision in Spain kills at least 39
AnsaldoBreda did also manufacture the Fyra trains for the short-lived high-speed trains here in The Netherlands. After three trains lost parts in the first month, it was banned from operations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyra
bouke··on .NET 10
See the docs[1] where it mentions that 10 is supported, but not available in the built-in Ubuntu feed. It however is/should become available in the backports feed.

To make matters even more interesting the GitHub / Azure DevOps CI agent image Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't provide .NET 9, whereas 22.04 does[2]. .NET 10 appears to become available in both though[3].

bouke··on 10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him – bad idea
~No it sadly doesn’t, so the double meaning will be lost in translation. If the lock depicted a pussy it would’ve worked though.~

After going over https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seksuele_volkstaal_en_eufemism... it seems that “bever” is apparently also used as euphemism. As is “floppy drive” TIL!

bouke··on 10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him – bad idea
The Dutch translation is NSFW though as it translates “beaver” as suggested.
bouke··on The Mac app flea market
Why is it that only App Store apps are sandboxed? I would like to sandbox most of the apps I’m running. No app needs a blanket slate to access my files. Sure there’s some of the permissions, but they aren’t granular enough.
bouke··on Recreating the US/* time zone situation
It is not, that’s the whole point of the blog post this one follows up on.
bouke··on A failure of security systems at PayPal is causing concern for German banks
Last week the Dutch bank Bunq was also victim of unauthorised PayPal withdrawals: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/238190/bunq-neemt-maatregelen-te....
bouke··on LM Studio is now an MCP Host
It is even worse; they are offering a commercial product under the same name of the open source project it is based on: https://github.com/kevinhermawan/Ollamac?tab=readme-ov-file#... and https://github.com/gregorym/ollamac-pro/issues/1.
bouke··on Run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs
For comparison, skipping dotnet run and running the compiled program directly:

  time "/Users/bouke/Library/Application Support/dotnet/runfile/hello-world-fc604c4e7d71b490ccde5271268569273873cc7ab51f5ef7dee6fb34372e89a2/bin/debug/hello-world" > /dev/null

  real 0m0.051s
  user 0m0.029s
  sys 0m0.017s
So yeah the overhead of dotnet run is pretty high in this preview version.
