Oh, Apple. Scheduled a "Send Later" iMessage to Becky for 10 AM yesterday, but because of time zone changes I never experienced 10 AM yesterday and instead of scheduling based on a real timestamp it just left the message in a permanent unsent state.

Great job, everyone.

It is Twenty Fucking Twenty Six and iMessage still thinks that a phone number without a country code and a phone number with a country code belong in the same message thread (good!) but different contacts (bad!). What am I supposed to do? Save +1 and non +1 variants for every US phone number in my contacts?

Here's a direct revenue idea for the airlines: Informed Seat Selection.

Prior to choosing a seat, passengers pay $89 to preview the security photos on file for the passengers booked next to them.

Bonus: dynamic pricing based on historical desirability of each passenger.

I'm a shameless iPhone Air booster, but this is killing me:

iPhone 17 supports DisplayPort over USB-C: apple.com/iphone-17/specs/
iPhone Air doesn't: apple.com/iphone-air/specs/

So much for watching movies on smart glasses on my flight to Tokyo 🤦‍♂️

Back in college during my study abroad in Japan, I met a jackass from the UK who got pissed when me and my friends kept referring to "soccer" when "the rest of the world calls it football."

It was fun to be the one to inform him that in Japan they call it soccer.

Yet again, I finally sit down to tackle something I've been procrastinating for a month because I was afraid it would be a huge pain in the ass, only to be proven right and it really is a huge pain in the ass, which just reinforces that I should procrastinate even more in the future.

Oof. Adam Wathan and his colleagues on the Tailwind team deserve better. One case where AI is eating a business that was doing right by everyone involved. I bought Tailwind Plus last year to support their work. github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.com/pull/2388#issuecomment-3717222957

AirPods Pro 3 are a disappointment. Seal is less reliable. They whistle from feedback when carried. 15s after popping in a second AirPod, it often still won't start playing. Reduced range. Running the microwave results in constant audio interference. Same issues on multiple pairs

Glad someone else wrote this. IDGAF about macOS Tahoe app icons because they're something I see for a split-second when launching apps, but the new contextual menu icons are far more of a nuisance to trying to use apps. So much visual noise. tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

A low stakes, immediately useful task for AI agents would be to stand in for humans in co-op games. I want to play Void Crew, but don't want to recruit friends or party with randos. Wish I could just spin-up a few artificial teammates store.steampowered.com/app/1063420/Void_Crew/

For a terrifying time, check out what Claude Code produced when asked to "draw a nightmare." reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1pxudjr

This perfectly encapsulates the coding agent paradox. Agents make coding boring and formulaic. That some see a tragedy where others see a triumph exposed a disagreement over what coders want out of coding that didn't matter until now reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s/VDTxoeiBIh

Just realized that if the children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was localized for Japan, it could have been named, "It's Raining Men."

(Translator's Note: "men" means noodles)

Followed Ruby type systems for years. Spent a month of my life porting my meta-programming-heavy library Mocktail to Sorbet, only to realize zero tooling lift. No idea if it works, but I gotta say T-Ruby's pitch is the first that makes intuitive sense type-ruby.github.io
