Markdown Now Has a Uniform Type Identifer (UTI) in Apple’s Version 27 OSes

developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentifiers/uttype-swift.struct/markdown

The third developer betas of Apple’s 27 OSes dropped today, and this new page in Apple’s developer documentation drew my attention — a built-in Uniform Type Identifier for Markdown data:

The identifier for this type is net.daringfireball.markdown.

This type conforms to [utf8PlainText].

My main link here is to the Swift documentation, but it’s available in good old Objective-C too.

I had previously recommended conforming to public.plain-text but stated that the text encoding should be UTF-8. I’ve updated my own recommendation to public.utf8-plain-text to enshrine the UTF-8 encoding. (Back in 2004 UTF-8 support was far from universal. Today it is.)

When I make life decisions, I want certainty. I want to know I’m making the one and only right choice.

I’m learning that life often doesn’t give us that, especially for the bigger decisions. You know you don’t have enough information to make a good choice — let alone the right one — and you have to decide anyway.

This blows.

Tesla app code reveals cabin camera will verify driver before FSD

Code buried in Tesla’s latest iOS app update points to a new feature that would use the in-car cabin camera to verify a driver’s identity before allowing “Full Self-Driving” to activate.

If the system can’t confirm the person behind the wheel matches an authorized profile, it would block FSD and surface a failure message in the app.

While watching the game last week, the announcers were clearly very skeptical of the red card. If the suspension had been reversed without Trump getting involved, I think it would’ve been the right call. But now the whole thing is tainted with the appearance of corruption. Not good. ⚽️
