The more things change, the more they stay the same. After unveiling some new visual elements to the next generation of its operating systems during WWDC 2025, Apple has already walked back some of the proposed design revisions. 9to5Mac noticed that the most recent developer betas included changes to the new Liquid Glass operating system appearance and to the Finder app icon. Liquid Glass was divisive from the start . The idea of layering transparency in the user interface appealed to some, whi

Apple’s first macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta introduced a big change to the Finder icon that I really didn’t like, but thankfully, the company has reversed it with the second beta released today. A big feature of macOS 26 is Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language, which it has applied across the operating system to give it a new look. But for some reason, for the initial ver

Apple releases new beta builds of all its flashy new Liquid Glass-ified OS updates

As with any operating system that ushers in a major new look and feel, this year's Apple operating systems and their new Liquid Glass aesthetic will likely merit some extra attention from power users who want to see all the new stuff and developers who suddenly need to acclimate to a new design language. Apple put out one early beta build of all of its new operating systems after its Worldwide Developers Conference keynote a couple of weeks ago—these updates are the first to standardize on year-

How MacOS Tahoe's killer new feature could make Docker feel obsolete

Apple / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Apple has a lot of fancy new tricks up its sleeve for the next iteration of MacOS. There's the new UI (glassy and classy), the extra AI bits, performance improvements, and more. But there's one new feature that may or may not interest the average user.

Is documentation like pineapple on pizza?

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Idaszak 2025-09-11 03:38:17

Internal software documentation is often a controversial topic. Many developers avoid writing it and aim to produce just enough to get the project running. If you browse discussions on platforms like Reddit or Quora, most questions about documentation focus on why it's so poorly done or disliked by developers. On the other hand, avoiding documentation slows down the team. It creates friction, forcing knowledge transfers to happen in person or requiring developers to reverse-engineer the code ju

Dutch court upholds antitrust ruling against Apple over App Store and dating apps

Apple has been dealt another regulatory blow in Europe this week. A court in Rotterdam has upheld a 2021 decision by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), confirming that the company abused its dominant App Store position. Or at least when it comes to dating apps. This specific case centers on Apple’s long-standing requirement that app developers use its in-app payment system (IAP) for digital purchases, with no option to direct users to external payment methods.

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron
