Display PostScript did not have GPU acceleration, as far as I know.

Hence the use of first glimpse.

Because Markdown is awesome, easier to write, and easier to read at the source level.

VSCode + Codex app on macOS and Linux.


Remarkable to combine early Unix contributions and inventing new refrigerants in a single career.

On Apple platforms, the call or text is shared with Apple and the carrier, depending on your location and message type.

When enough reports are received for a particular entity, Apple blocks or retroactively moves or deletes the message.
