I sat down with David Morales, Rhode Island state rep and candidate for mayor of Providence, about his plan to cap rent hikes at 4%—the same measure the current mayor vetoed after taking corporate real estate money. We also talked about the surge of ICE activity across Providence.

For those interested in an in-person #pdx #emacs event, a few of us nerds are meeting Tuesday, 15 September 2026 at 6:00pm at the Lucky Lab brewpub on Hawthorne Street for a PDX Emacs Social Hour.

While this event will primarily be social, I figured if we enjoy these gatherings enough, we'll might find a place with a projector and nerdout like we did in the previous decade.

Comfort Zone is going indie!

We want to sincerely thank the folks at MacStories who believed in us two years ago and massively helped in launching this podcast. But after 113 episodes of beautifully executed challenges (right?), Comfort Zone will be moving to its own home soon.

This means we are going to be on a hiatus while we work things out, and migrate between hosting services. We will keep you updated when we are ready to resume the show! 💛

@glyph it’s not explicitly happy eyeballs, but Iroh connections will try multiple IP addresses in parallel and connect on the fastest one. Will even multi-path and change routes transparently if network conditions change. I wrote a tool that you can use with ProxyCommand to proxy via such a connection:

it’s really weird to see people post about Apple not betting on AI as Apple rushes the release of the ear cameras that can only feed photos into an LLM, right after Apple started a fight with the EU over the API they designed that lets an LLM access all the data on your device

I was a guest on David Gerard's podcast. We talked about "AI" and what happens after the bubble.

It was some great fun!

OpenSSH doesn't use Happy Eyeballs yet, it just connects to every resolved address from GAI in sequence.

So this is very slow.

Meat proxy (noun): “A person who forwards AI-generated text, code, or other output without reading, understanding, or validating it. The person acts only as a relay between the AI system and the intended recipient.” https://sfisms.org/meat-proxy

Life is short, and our world is amazing. We're surrounded by interesting people and beautiful nature. So why does anyone want to allocate a disproportionate amount of their attention to machine-generated outputs?

Every prompt moves us further away from what really matters.

This is pretty much where I sit on AI today. Christopher Newfield always gets the context right IMO. https://utotherescue.blogspot.com/2026/05/liner-note-53-ai-and-public-good.html

RE: https://mastodon.social/@kottke/117151078952883396

Everyone should think about the meat proxies in their lives. I see people here every single day who speak out against AI but cozy up to devs who openly vibe-code their stuff. Supporting an "indie" dev who's using the very tools that you refuse to use yourself isn't the upright stance you think it is. It's like buying a carbon offset and thinking you accomplished something.

Bizarre and annoying coda number 2: apparently the binding of “virtual interface” to “network device” on macOS is by like… vendor, or driver type, or USB device name, or something, and *not* by MAC addresses. 2 of my adapters are Realtek and 1 is Intel. When I added the VLAN to the Intel adapter, it applied to the Intel adapter. when I added one to the first realtek, it applied to both realteks.

This doesn’t cause any problems for me in this specific situation, but… what an odd choice

More iOS 26 bugs: the refresh button in Safari sometimes just disappears. One tab got stuck in an infinite form resubmit cycle upon returning to Safari after a hop to another app. And that’s just the bugs in the past hour or so. This OS is one of the buggiest I’ve used even without the UX disaster

Did you know that PySide6.QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory()
behaves differently on Windows to macOS ? i.e. the returned path on macOS (and presumably Linux) has a trailing slash, whereas on Windows it does not.

Ordinarily not a huge deal, except when you use os.path.dirname combined with os.path.basename to get the final part of the path, which works swimmingly on macOS, but the lack of trailing slash means it breaks on Windows.

An easy fix, but something that caught me off guard.

okay so one thing that was pointed out to me about haskell-style syntax is that it's not very good for screenreaders because you have no idea how wide an indentation is.

This is a neat bit of tech. It's an e-paper display, which can be updated wirelessly. And it has no battery!
During programming, it's powered by the same NFC signal from your phone that's programming it. And since it's e-paper, it doesn't need power after that.
