As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

During the continuing government shutdown, President Trump has posted memes depicting Russel T. Vought, the White House budget director, as the grim reaper. Coral Davenport, a Washington correspondent for The Times, explains how Mr. Vought, a once obscure official, has becom...

Things are not okay in the White House. Numerous new national polls show President Trump and the GOP taking far more blame for the government shutdown than Democrats. One polling analyst flatly declared that the gap has reached double digits. Meanwhile, a...

A-BLOCK (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: TRUMP SUDDENLY SPECULATES ABOUT LIFE WITHOUT HIM: From anybody else it would be trivia. From Trump this is startling. Buried in an ordinary narcissistic flight: "It'll be very unfair in the future when they (Republicans) don't have Trump to fi...

Brent Simmons blogged about why NetNewsWire isn’t a web app, along the way making the case for Apple letting us use our devices as the computers that they are:

What I want to see happen is for Apple to allow iPhone and iPad users to load — not sideload, a term I detest, because it assumes Apple’s side of things — whatever apps they want to. Because those devices are computers.

Watched One Battle After Another. Even though I saw the trailer, didn’t actually know what it was about. Intense, excellent. 🍿

Manu Moreale blogs about posting on social media as a performance:

By doing it publicly, you can be part of the mob of the day, find yourself in the company of like-minded individuals (that you likely don’t know and might as well hate you in real life), and have fun berating someone.

I have two interesting interviews to share with you today, the first is Lex Friedman interviewing Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram. I started using and advocating for Telegram back in 2015, and Audrey Capital was part of their aborted fundraise in 2018. As a software craftsperson, I’ve always had tremendous respect for the team … Continue reading Telegram and Weird Al →

Navy survived a late comeback attempt from Air Force on Saturday, walking away with a 34-31 win. The victory brings the Midshipmen one step closer to winning the Commander-in-Chief trophy awarded to the team that comes out on top of the head-to-head matchups between the service academies.

If the win was not enough, Navy players received a visit from the government's foremost motivational speaker, Secretary of Defense, or Secretary of War if you enjoy corporate rebranding, Pete Hegseth. It's been a busy week for the secretary of swole, in-between deploying troops to various liberal hellholes around the country and conducting mole hunts within his own department, Hegseth notably demanded top generals fly to Quantico from around the world just to tell them it was time to nut up or shut up in the name of defending freedom from the tyranny of woke.

I've used this phrase a few times recently: "Before we were so rudely interrupted."

Or, "the big interruption."

I'm referring to 2006, when web writing was downgraded, to be 140 characters with no styling, no links, without the ability to edit.

That's when writing on the web started going in the toilet.

So when I say it again I may link to this post, because out here on the web, linking is always allowed.

LAS VEGAS — An Aces game overloads the senses well before the game itself begins. The national anthem features indoor fireworks. Seats rumble from the bass of the speakers. There’s so much to look at, too much to look at, enough that you should brace yourself....

Last week a solicitor came to our door selling the usual house upgrades: new roof, windows, even solar panels. Normally I would say no thanks and they would be on their way, but just the day before I had been thinking about solar, so I figured sure, actually I am interested ...

I think we need to do something fun, so I’m swapping the order of new features rolling out this week. First, movies search and easy blogging about movies. Second, new video hosting plan. 🍿

In 2014 I wrote a manifesto about web writing. A decade later later, I'm still trying to get writing on the web to work again.

It had been broken since Sept 14.

Still breaking things! ;-)
