Automatically Packaging a Haskell Library as a Swift Binary XCFramework

Announcing xcframework or: the happy path for wiring a Haskell dependency to your Swift app I’ve written about Haskell x Swift interoperability before. Calling Haskell from Swift is about marshalling and the foreign function interface. But Creating a macOS app with Haskell and Swift tells the much messier tale of hijacking XCode to vodoo together the Haskell library, its headers, and two handfuls of other magic ingredients into one buildable SwiftUI application.

For instance, Express is moderately battery-incl

Looking at Framework’s progress on software support for its repairable laptops

For the past five years, we've been paying a lot of attention to Framework, the upstart PC company focused on modular, repairable, upgradeable, and customizable laptop designs. So far, Framework has done a solid job of offering a steady stream of hardware upgrades for its systems, particularly the original Framework Laptop 13. But the company's track record on software support—including BIOS updates and driver updates with performance improvements, bug fixes, and important security updates—has

Framework Laptop 12 Review: The Most Repairable Laptop Ever

Budget-friendly laptops may save you money in the near term, but if they’re cheaply made and quickly outdated, you may end up needing to replace them soon after. That’s why Framework’s ethos is such a perfect fit for budget laptops. Being able to upgrade or replace nearly every component on the device yourself, in theory, means many more years of life for your laptop, keeping devices out of landfills. The new Framework Laptop 12 starts at just $549 for the DIY Edition, a fantastic deal for the

Framework Laptop 12 review

"What's this purple laptop? It's cool." Over a decade-plus of doing gadget reviews and review-adjacent things, my wife (and, lately, my 5-year-old) have mostly stopped commenting on the ever-shifting selection of laptops I have in my bag or lying around the house at any given time. Maybe she can't tell them apart, or maybe she just figures there isn't that much to say about whatever black or silver metal slab I'm carrying around. Either way, they practically never elicit any kind of response, u

Framework Laptop 12 review: plastic fantastic

is a reviewer covering laptops and the occasional gadget. He spent over 15 years in the photography industry before joining The Verge as a deals writer in 2021. Framework finally made a touchscreen laptop, and the convertible 2-in-1 is one of the coolest-looking computers ever made. It doesn’t have top-tier specs, but its two-year-old 13th Gen Intel Core i3 processor isn’t on its last legs just yet. Like Framework’s Laptop 13, the new Laptop 12 has modular ports and fully repairable innards. An

Apple devices offer amazing speech to text transcription in developer betas, shows test

If you ever need to transcribe audio or video to text, most current apps are powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model. You’re probably using this model if you use apps like MacWhisper to transcribe meetings or lectures, or to generate subtitles for YouTube videos. But iOS 26 and Apple’s other developer betas include the company’s own transcription frameworks – and a test suggests that they match Whisper’s accuracy while running at more than twice the speed … If you’ve ever used the built-in dictation
