macOS, iOS, iOS simulator, and Mac Catalyst binaries together — With Xcode 11, Apple has (finally) added support for embedding binaries obtained from multiple targets or built for different platforms and architectures into a single package, ending the fat framework era. They call the new thing an XCFramework. Technically, it’s just a folder with .xcframework extension, but as it comes…

the not-that-bumpy (!) first steps of my journey — I’ve found out about the Rust programming language a few years ago. I did check it out fast then, but I said it wouldn’t be for me: I didn’t need nor wanted to learn any new low level language, I thought. Still, I did run through a short tutorial when…

macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, Web — I’ve been taking a lot these weeks about me going analogue, returning to the basics, and even about accepting some level of spirituality in my life (a shock!), so I think I should now cut it and just write a plain old tech article again. Or else I’d simply lose…

(ouch, another post about me; this is really, really the last one of the series; I hope :)) — I’ve written some time ago about the Apple Watch and its circles — how they allowed me to create very healthy habits such as walking every day and exercising more at home. I’m still thankful for that. Recently, however, for some reason or another, I also started to like analogue…

and why I won’t easily accept to get out of my [classic algorithmic programming] confort zone — Quantum computing is more natural than all contemporary electronics. Simply because nature itself runs on quantum mechanics at its core level and conceptually I guess there’s no need for very deep abstractions around the existing physical elements to create the “superposition-able” qubits that this new type of machines would need…

(sort of) — I’ve said it more than a couple of times already, but I must repeat it once more: I’m (still) in love with my M1 MacBook Air that I’ve bought in 2021, more than one year ago (wow). Fast forwarding to June 2022. WWDC keynote. Apple has announced the new M2…

— no, not alcohol (yet), haha; and no phone either, just [too many] computers, it seems! — I know: it’s not healthy. But I must admit that besides the general long-term liked items such as reading, writing, listening to music, and later, programming as a core concept, I’ve always been addicted to one physical thing or two, just different ones in different periods. So… here we go…

or simply getting older? — Hmm. I’ve always been — or at least considered myself — a digital person. Even before I’ve seen the first computer when I was a child, back in the ’90s. I always loved digital exactness: the train schedule was my favorite book, a pocket calculator was the most interesting tool…
