In the 1990s, I had an internship at Apple here in Austin, in a building they were leasing off 183, just east of I-35. They’ve long since expanded to a new campus in northwest Austin, much fancier, reflecting what a massive company Apple has become. I still often drive by th...

The key to managing a large code base is extreme minimalism wherever possible. Less code. Simpler names for things. Fewer dependencies. It’s hard to convey with a list of rules, but I know it when I see an unmanageable, cluttered project.

Daniil Medvedev, who was the No. 1 player on the ATP as recently as 2022, and to me, the most compelling persona in men's tennis, is in the midst of a career freefall. With Sunday's first-round loss at the U.S. Open, he has continued to plummet. But Medvedev nearly turned ar...

The Padres and Dodgers have a nice little rivalry going on. After this weekend's three-game series, in which San Diego took two games, the teams are tied at the top of the NL West division with identical 74-57 records. After scoring two combined runs in the first two games o...

It's time to wrap up the month with a challenging themeless. Keep an eye out for tricky clues and fun wordplay. This puzzle was constructed by Evan Mulvihill, and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Evan is a cruciverbalist living in San Francisco, Calif. His crosswords&n...

Haven’t quite figured out the best UX for passkeys yet. I’ve been slow switching to them for my accounts, but now that it has been a couple years, hopefully the quirks have been worked out.

Sorry for the title, but since the trend of clickbaity titles is spreading from YouTube and traditional media to the blogosphere, I felt left out and wanted to join the party. Anyway, a post about quitting social media is what I wrote. Not very original, I know, and somethin...

Steven Soderbergh made The Limey for $10 million in 1998, and by his own account had an absolutely miserable time doing it. Or, more specifically, he made it briskly and seemingly happily, then reconfigured it, even more hastily and much less happily, into a film that would ...

There's a fresh release of the docs for the WordPress API we use in WordLand. I actually liked that the docs were old and kind of dusty. It says that the engineering culture is to not mess around with things that developers have already built on. A lot of platforms break developers without much thought. I learned a long time ago that when you do that, you lose the interest of developers, understandably.

I've been exchanging emails and voicemails with Dan Knauss, a longtime WordPress developer and one of the hosts of WordCamp Canada which I am speaking at in October. Learning a lot about the community and culture. I wonder, have I ever been part of a community that's over 20 ...

I've been following Mark Cuban's recent posts on Bluesky, coming up with constructive things successful entrepreneurs can do to help. I had a different idea. Apply for a fellowship at a university, away from where you live, maybe in a place you've always wanted to try. In you...

What kind of license do ABC, NBC and CBS have? Given how the questions Trump raises colors their journalistic integrity, perhaps the correct response is to tear up the license and send it to Trump with their best wishes.

In 1971, the great rock critic Lester Bangs tried to imagine a time when the music of the recent past would seem alien. Projecting himself into the old age he would never reach, he pictured his future grandkids asking him about the music of the ’60s: “What’s all this shit ab...

By age three, your authoritarian should be able to blame juice spills on political enemies, such as a baby sibling or a weird uncle. If he or she (but likely he) can’t, you should begin offering assistance. Tip over his cup of juice and see if he diverts the blame. By age fo...

I asked, yesterday, on various social media sites, for people's opinion on what the term "on the web" means. I'm going to compile the answers on a this.how page, and then ask some follow-up questions. If you have an opinion, post a comment on Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads or Twitter.
