“Gender identity is real.” As expected, a judge has blocked Florida’s anti-trans law (at least as applied to the plaintiffs), in a ruling that isn’t even close.

I hope some day we can understand the incredible amount of science that dogs go through when selecting the proper spot to do their business. There must be contemplations of magnetic north, the position of stars, what the neighbor dog has for dinner 2 days ago, and the position of the sun in the sky. As i think about it, it’s really is amazing they can pick a spot at all.

@robpike I think back to an expert witness gig where I had to analyze various implementations of software for a device. Hand coded assembler from 1970s--easily understandable. Million line OO thing from 1990s--utterly incomprehensible.

It's great to see real (3D) Offscreen Canvas slated for Safari 17 after the absolute clusterfuck that was the 16.4 mess, but it's we shouldn't over-index on gratitude.

Cowboy-catchup is the flip side of the same immature software development practices that have left many sites dealing with show-stopping bugs for months, over and over and over, across the past decade.

A faster ship cycle is good, but competition is the real fix. The #AppleBrowserBan can't be allowed to continue.

Y'all bought tech that FB pitched "because scale" without asking even the very first question about *how* to scale a stack.

No wonder they were able to sell you duds and damp squibs; y'all never bothered to even test fire the goods.

I'm so excited to share that my book, HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS: INSIDE THE SYSTEMS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD, will be out on October 17th of this year, on Riverhead Books. It's about the globe-spanning systems we've built to meet our needs: what systems like electricity, water, transportations and telecommunications have in common, how they work, and what needs to change to make them resilient, functional and equitable.

You can preorder it now at:

Yeah, I think the Tails cert expired about an hour ago and hasn't yet been replaced with a new one. Likely just a sysadmin issue but I hope everything's alright!

Really not a fan of Discord rolling out a new username system. I thought the old one was neat. Now I see my friends having to put up with modified usernames because someone else grabbed theirs first.

Driver in Finland fined €121,000 for speeding

A wealthy driver in Finland's Aaland Islands has been fined over €120,000 for speeding, where the price of speeding is determined by your income. It's his third major fine in a decade, and the first to crack six figures.
