Great post from @danielpunkass reflecting on his time at Apple 30 years ago:

I quit in 2002, shortly after Apple released the first iPod MP3 player. I was antsy. Only 26 years old by that time, I wanted to go back to school for another college degree, this time in music. It’s funny to think back now at how “done” I thought our work at the company was. I was looking at the future through Mac-colored lenses, and it seemed as though everything important had been done.

I appreciate that X gave me back access to my account that I was locked out of, but they were apparently charging me for premium when i couldn't use the account, and had no way to turn it off. Okay they can keep the money. But now I want to turn off premium for the account I was using when I didn't have access to my real account, and can't find the commands to do that. Asked ChatGPT and it either hallucinated or X removed the command. So near as I can tell I now have two accounts on Premium.

Spools of cable are critical for internet infrastructure and jam-proof drones but skyrocketing costs are making it hard to field them.

A few months ago, I was tending to my newborn when across the room my phone pinged. I ignored it. Within a few minutes, however, continuing to do so became impossible, not just because of my compulsive urge to touch my phone every four seconds, but also because the device wa...

The Catcher in the Rye: The College Years If you thought Holden Caulfield was insufferable before, you’ll find that expulsion from prep school was a mere warm-up for the incessant grousing and myriad of beefs inherent in life as an English undergrad. Armed with the perceived...

The Pittsburgh Steelers, eager to cast off whatever traces of cultural relevance they once had, announced on Wednesday that they were willing to wait for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to help ease them into a quiet, lonely death. “I’m optimistic we can get a deal wrapped someti...

Outfielders have a lot of time on their hands to be alone with their thoughts. The San Francisco Giants don't win a lot of baseball games. Put those two things together and you get magic. Erotic magic. The history of the outfield post-win celebration is short but storied. W...

Brandon Clarke has died. Paramedics reportedly responded to an emergency call from a home in the San Fernando Valley around dinner time Monday, and declared Clarke dead at the scene. He was 29 years old, and a seven-year NBA veteran who'd played his entire professional caree...

On Tuesday night, two days after getting ejected for elbow crimes, Victor Wembanyama played in his first true must-win playoff game. Facing that pressure for the first time in his charmed career, how would he respond? Glance at the box score of Game 5 between his San Antoni...

For decades, March 31 was marked with civil rights marches, school commemorations, and community celebrations honoring Cesar Chavez and the labor leader’s championing of better working conditions for farmworkers. In California and Texas, his birthday was a state holiday. But when The New York Times published its investigation earlier this year on how Chavez groomed […]

I'm screwing around with the JSONL stuff again. I'm interested in know about any work people have done that process incoming JSONL data. I'd like to see if I'm even in the ballpark of something useful. Today I'm making it so that my app can be used in production to handle more than one stream. The key thing is it's hooked up to FeedLand via a very simple JSON interface delivered in realtime via websockets. For feeds that support rssCloud, the appearance of the new item in the JSONL feed happens a fraction of a second after it was published. That's how fast the web of 2026 is.

In this episode, Nathan Wrigley and Matt Schwartz continue their discussion about how WordPress agencies can harness AI. They cover practical applications like connecting AI to agency documentation, implementing guardrails with MCPs, using AI for internal tools and QA, and the evolving impact on the WordPress plugin ecosystem. They also discuss risks such as security concerns, over-dependence on vendors, and the importance of human oversight. The conversation concludes with predictions about agency workflows, cautionary advice, and encouragement to responsibly experiment with AI in agency environments.

The company says its new Incognito Chat allows you to use its AI chatbot without anyone else—including Meta—being able to access your conversations.
