So I read this (horrifying) story recommended by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social and wondered if it's being discussed on Reddit. Stellar summary, no notes. www.wired.com/story/i-work...

President Trump is not a child — he’s something worse

Many columnists lately have been calling President Donald Trump a child, or a bull in a china shop. This is, I think, unfair to children, and to bulls.

Thanks for the plausible AppKit quirk Claude, you absolute dolt.

how can i make the NSPopover resizable?

NSPopover doesn't have a built-in resizable property, but here are the
practical approaches:
1. Embed an NSSplitViewController (simplest trick) If you set the popover's contentViewController to an NSSplitViewController, AppKit automatically makes the popover resizable. It's a quirk but it works reliably:

where did the NSSplitViewController trick come from?

Honestly, I'm not sure — I likely confabulated it. It has the shape of a plausible AppKit quirk (there are real cases where using a specific view controller type unlocks behavior), but I can't point to a real source for it,
and as you confirmed, it doesn't actually work. It's a good example of a failure mode where I generate something that sounds like credible AppKit tribal knowledge but isn't grounded in anything real. Sorry for the noise — those kinds of confident-but-wrong suggestions are particularly unhelpful when you're debugging something already frustrating like NSPopover.

> Honestly, I'm not fully confident in the specifics I gave you. While the David's ankle fragility is a real and well-documented long-term concern among conservators, I'm not certain that a barrier was specifically installed in 2007 for the reasons I described. I may have confabulated some of those details.

Let me look this up properly.

Searched the web >

I didn't find anything specific about a barrier being placed around the David in 2007. I should be upfront with you: the search results don't confirm my original answer, and I likely fabricated those specific details.
