During his second term, President Trump has upended 60 years of civil rights, largely under the guise of attacking diversity, equity and inclusion. Nikole Hannah-Jones, who covers racial injustice and civil rights for The New York Times Magazine, discusses the end of an era,...

An archaeological mystery gets one step closer to being solved.

The Fediverse, shaped by pioneers like Evan Prodromou, evolved from Identica to ActivityPub, fostering decentralization and user control. It contrasts corporate social networks by promoting openness, privacy, and collaborative development for online communities.

In the leadup to the “No Kings” protests, Trump and Republicans widely derided the protesters as extremists, criminals, and terrorists. Then the protests actually happened. They were a wild success: Peaceful, enormous, and representative of a very wide swath of American soci...

I have some “grand theories” of software engineering: I think there are two tribes of engineers that complexify things or simplify things, and they are in eternal conflict. Complexify: Jamstack, headless, Contentstack, Contentful, DXP, DAM, micro-services. Simplify: WordPress, Simplenote, Day One, djbdns, SQLite. Not enough engineers have studied under the code of Daniel J. Bernstein.

On my drive to Ottawa and back, I never had to wait for a charger, and it never took more than 1/2 hour to fill the battery to 80%. The chargers are often in places with restaurants or supermarkets. And it's good for my legs to get out of the car and walk for a bit.

I wonder if any established open source projects are converting to having ChatGPT or other AI manage the process.

Michael Tsai, back on September 30, compiled a roundup of links regarding Electron apps causing systemwide lag on MacOS 26 Tahoe. The reason, seemingly, is that the Electron framework was overriding a private AppKit API. Of course.

Tomas Kafka wrote a shell script to find un-updated Electron apps on your system. Craig Hockenberry took Kafka’s shell script and turned it into an easy-to-use AppleScript application.

So, yes, Theo Browne, “software dev nerd”, Electron really is “that bad”. It’s actually, if anything, worse.

SATCOM Security — a team of researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Maryland: We pointed a commercial-off-the-shelf satellite dish at the sky and carried out the most comprehensive public study to date of geostationary satellite communication. A shockingly la...

Jason Fried:

So what’s the net effect of this tiny little design detail that the owner may not even understand? Well, it looks like the watch is already half-way out of power after the first day, so it encourages the owner to wind the watch more frequently. To keep it closer to topped off, even when it’s not necessary. This helps prevent the watch from running out of power, losing time, and, ultimately, stopping. A stopped watch may be right twice a day, but it’s rarely at the times you want.

Small detail, material behavior change. Well considered, well executed, well done.
