REPORTER: Would you personally recommend using a case?
STEVE: I personally recommend killing yourself.
REPORTER: Steve, do you think Apple owes its customers an apology?
STEVE: I think your parents owe me one.

it’s a little bit slower than an M4 Max
The context is that I'm trying to build 2026 WebKit for Tiger on Intel, it's going surprisingly well. CSS 3D was a big question mark before this discovery, fonts were also a gap before discovering that Core Text was already in 10.4 as a private framework.
It's not gonna run anywhere Tiger runs; it's heavily tuned for 64-bit Intel. But it should be enough to run actual JS-based pages and maybe even playback 720p video. 10.4 technically supports 64-bit processes, but only headless ones. Certainly not AppKit. So I'm experimenting with different splits (64-bit JSCore, 32-bit renderer, 64-bit everything minus the window chrome at the expense of native rendering, etc)

anyway in 2007 Apple secretly backported the prerelease implementation of Core Animation (nee LayerKit) to the Tiger fork used by the original Apple TV, so I extracted the Apple TV binary, transplanted it into Tiger, resolved its private framework dependencies, and now Tiger has Core Animation. it's a christmas miracle

What you're seeing here is a thin demo app, I just extracted the binary from the Apple TV OS. AppKit on 10.4 has no concept of layers, so you're responsible for a lot more than you would be on Leopard. But here's the source code for the demo in that video gist.github.com/samhenrigold…

they had a german parade in NYC today and it was a bunch of lederhosen and beer steins, but I was hoping to see different representation. like a float consisting entirely of six trash bins and extremely detailed instructions about which one to use. or a Bosch dishwasher balloon.

if your app isn’t totally fucked on the Duo simulator you didn’t cook hard enough. sorry i don’t make the rules.

I’ve only been doinkin around with the iPhone Duo design kit for a little bit but I’ve gotta say it’s almost akin to page/print layout. For adapting an app, you end up thinking a lot about the individual pieces of a feature, page flow, attention, and what’s reasonable to adapt
