A floating tooltip from Xcode highlights a focus on Planet.swift, specifically lines 25-33, and PlanetView.swift. A chat window in the foreground suggests adding ‘Earth’ to an array of planets. The macOS interface has a soft gradient background with a translucent effect on the open windows.

I'd love to buy some land in Idaho Springs and throw an A-frame on it www.avrameusa.com 🔥

Or right outside of Boulder would be cool. 4 times the price tho and down the side of a mountain 😆
An A-frame cabin with a black metal roof and large glass windows, situated on a wooden deck with outdoor furniture. The cabin is surrounded by a serene natural landscape, including open fields, evergreen trees, and a distant mountain range under a partly cloudy sky.

I’ve been using the Mac mini M4 for a few days now, and it’s been a great experience. I’m going to add an OWC 1TB Express 1M2 NVMe Thunderbolt SSD this weekend as my startup disk to see how it performs. Surprisingly, I still have a lot of free space even with only 256GB of storage! 🎉
