I haven’t written any blog posts in over a month. This is because I have taken some time off from coding to focus on my finals exams and to prepare for my studies, which, if everything goes according to plan, should start this September.
A couple of weeks ago, Apple announced that they are going to open up iOS. As somebody who develops apps for iOS this proposition seemed really nice at first glance, but when you dive into what they actually did, things are significantly worse than what they already were.
Recently, whilst starting to learn to do ML stuff, I noticed that I didn’t get any code suggestions for Python in VSCodium, which is a tracker-less build of VSCode. As Visual Studio Code is open source, it should therefore be possible to build your own version of the software and being able to use it however you like to. At least this is what the MIT license would imply, under which VSCode is licensed. But as Micro$oft is Micro$oft, they had to have their strings attached and make all FOSS builds of VSCode basically worthless as they are excluded from the extensions store by default. Yes, there are workarounds which do work, but some Extensions made my Micro$oft have checks in them that prevent it from running in unofficial builds.

I have not been posting much here over the past half a month, as I have been busy working on various projects and also planning a few projects. So, here’s what projects are currently ongoing and what projects are upcoming
WebKit, WebKit, WebKit, why are you so bad?
WebKit, the rendering Engine of Safari is most definitely the worst modern rendering engine. Riddled with bugs, partially or improperly implemented standards, lagging behind Gecko and Chromium by sometimes years, doing their own thing with CSS attributes occasionally, the list goes on.
