In 2025, playing your own music on an iPhone is surprisingly hard, unless you pay Apple or navigate a maze of limitations. So I built my own player from scratch, with full text search, iCloud support, and a local-first experience.

Recent Disruptive Changes from Setuptools

In late March, version 78.0.1 of Setuptools — an important Python packaging tool — was released. It was scarcely half an hour before the first bug report came in, and it quickly became clear that the change was far more disruptive than anticipated.

Oodle 2.9.14 and Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs
(wordpress.com)
There’s a hardware problem affecting Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs, mostly desktop ones. This made the rounds through the press last year and has been on forums etc. for much longer than that. For months, we thought this was a rare bug in the decoder, but from stats in Epic’s crash reports for Fortnite (as well as stats for other Unreal Engine and Oodle licensees) it was fairly striking that this issue really seemed to affect only some CPUs.

Zoo Design Studio v1: A New Stack for Mechanical CAD
(zoo.dev)
Every generation or so, someone rebuilds the geometric foundation of mechanical CAD (MCAD). It happened in 1988 with Parasolid2, in 1989 with ACIS3, and, until today, the last major commercial geometry engine to reach mainstream adoption was well over a decade ago. Most modern CAD still runs on Siemens’ Parasolid from the late ’80s4.
