Teddy Svoronos (Hacker News): As of iPadOS 27, if you have multiple windows open while AirPlaying (whether or not Stage Manager is on), tapping on anything other than the presenting app will snap the external display into showing your whole iPad screen. This means that my students see all my notes on who I want […]

The Rio Grande at Big Bend National Park. Some people want to build a Big Beautiful Wall right there. 

Over at Personal History, I wrote about photography.

Lawrence Abrams, Bleeping Computer: In an advisory published Tuesday, the PHP development team announced that it plans to release security updates on Wednesday, October 21, at 14:00 UTC (10:00 AM Eastern), to address two vulnerabilities, each rated 9.2 under CVSS v4.0. The PHP security team also sent a notice to its ANNOUNCE mailing list, urging […]⌥ Permalink

A feature I sometimes forget is present in NetNewsWire is that you can change its theme. That is mostly because I set it years ago and forgot all about it. Dave Marquard recently created a theme repository. I quite like Ember, which looks very nice on my Mac and iPhone alike — aside from the […]⌥ Permalink

Brent Simmons: We’ve released NetNewsWire 7.2 for Mac with a new column view layout: choose View > Use Column Layout to switch. (Choose it again to switch back.) This is a new feature in the sense that the previous version of the app didn’t have it — but NetNewsWire of Yore, before the 2018 reboot, […]⌥ Permalink

Read: “The Internet goes on high alert after discovery of 8 compromised TLS certs”. Dan Goodin in Ars Technica. Published October 20, 2026. “That is extremely in the ‘this should not be possible’ category,” Valdorda said. “Maybe some horribly dangerous key generation interface has a ‘size’ parameter and they set it to 1 by mistake???” Posted: October 20, 2026 at 10:34 PM UTC.

Howard Oakley: Now move the pointer to the right edge of the list of folder contents, just far enough to the left to avoid moving the window divider, but not so far as to fully select items from within that folder. Click there and the item will be selected, but in grey, the same as […]

Artem Novichkov (via Fatbobman): Xcode also ships two command-line tools for the new format: xcprojformatter came with the format in beta 2. It’s a formatter for project files, like swift-format for code: it checks that a project.xcproj file is valid and rewrites it with sorted keys and consistent layout. xcodeproj arrived in beta 3. It […]

Seth Willits (2024, bug): There’s a deprecation warning in Xcode for URL.path that reads: WARNING: path will be deprecated in a future version of macOS: Use path(percentEncoded:) instead The problem is something like this: Bundle.main.url(forAuxiliaryExecutable: "tool")!.path … which returns the expected file path (ex: /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/tool) would be quickly rewritten as suggested to: Bundle.main.url(forAuxiliaryExecutable: "tool")!.path(percentEncoded: false) […]

Giovanni Colantonio: Seven years later, Apple Arcade hasn’t gone anywhere, and Apple itself hasn’t slowed its broader gaming efforts either. Between courting major publishers like Capcom to release their games on Mac to launching a proper gaming app, it’s clear that Apple still has its sights set on being a major player. The latest example […]

Brent Simmons: We’ve released NetNewsWire 7.2 for Mac with a new column view layout: choose View > Use Column Layout to switch. I really missed this feature from the old NetNewsWire, so I was happy to see its return. Now that I’m using it, I have mixed feelings. I love the columns, how I can […]

DropDMG 3.7.2 is a maintenance update of my app for disk images and archives. It still works back to macOS 10.13, but this will probably be the last such release. There’s no reason the code can’t continue to run there, but soon I will be switching to Xcode 27, which deploys back to macOS 12. […]

Washington, September 2026.

From the video I finally found the image I was looking for in the mountains of Washington.

After weeks chasing an idea, I finally make it happen. The mountains of Washington gave me what I was looking for.

Today's song, for the Knicks. "And when the morning light comes streaming in I get up and do it again." Knicks in 5!

My friend Guy Kawasaki has a quote from the early Mac division at Apple. "Steve Jobs has a saying that A players hire A players. But B players hire C players, and C players hire D players. It doesn't take long to get to F players. This trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies." You see this over and over among the very rich in tech. The money is supposed to make them invincible, but they don't hire the best people, I guess, for fear of being found out to not be the genius that the money says they are.
