• Wait for Apple to approve TestFlight beta.
• Wait even longer if the build is stuck “processing” for unknown reasons.
• Wait for Apple to approve final version.
• Release to customers.

Just a stark difference. ☹️

Welcome back to earth, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. 🚀

When you open Visual Studio Code without doing something like opening a .workspace file or dragging a folder onto it, you get a fairly blank screen like this: Speaking for myself, there is about a 95% chance what I want to do is open a recent project. I’ve got good muscle memory for Command-Shift-P to […]

Bluesky’s a world without caesars shirt is back in stock. Ordered. I don’t impulse buy clothing very often but this one captures the moment.

This is like that moment, five years ago, when we realized that Covid was going to kill a lot of us but it hadn't happened yet. A lot of people weren't yet aware. My friend John Palfrey, who is a legal scholar, has been writing about this moment on LinkedIn and Facebook. Thi...

My workflow:

The Dems highest priority should be to get the Kamala Harris campaign back on social media, 24 by 7, with the truth and snark, irreverance, disrespectful of the Repubs, as a matter of principle. They were great. Perfect. We need a voice for the Democrats on the social networks.

Would someone please send this to AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders, Mark Cuban, James Carville, anyone else you can think of.

On the podcast today we have Robert Jacobi and he's here to talk about his tech journey, and his role at Black Wall, formerly BotGuard. We talk about the OSI model, explaining how computer networks communicate through seven layers, from application to physical. Robert shares insights into Black Wall's focus on preventing bot attacks at a layer far from the website, mitigating risks before they hit the hosting company. There's also a brief discussion of WordPress plugins and the complexity of online security, with a nod to the hope of increasing listeners' understanding of these intricate processes.
