Apple’s WWDC 2026 keynote was a snoozefest but one section left me rather perplexed. Early in the show Apple gave a performance about “child safety”. Apple ended the show with their new AI photo mangler. That’s some serious cognitive dissonance! ...
I really should learn to take this stretch of trail a bit more carefully. The one that runs precariously alongside the edge of a lake, dipping and getting muddier right at the point when it’s easiest to gently stumble into ...
An ode to what was, and what could have been
Apple are big fans of “privacy-preserving” which is classic Big Tech doublespeak. It doesn’t mean “private” because otherwise they would just say “private” — or you know, not use any qualifier because it should be reasonable to assume software is ...
If you've ever been to PyCon, you know one of the best parts of the expo hall is Startup Row, a stretch of booths where early-stage companies built on Python show off what they're creating. But only attendees get to ...
The culture in the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE), particularly with regards to quality, was without a doubt the best I've experienced. One thing that really made it great was the common understanding that perfection is impossible. While that may sound ...

Easily missed among last week’s Summer Game Fest advert marathon was the Latin American Games Showcase: an exhibition that, at over eighty games strong, dwarfed the Keighley-fronted main event, yet has received only a small fraction of the eyeballs. Less ...
This series interviews real practitioners to extract the patterns behind how they actually use AI in their data work today. This is the second interview in ‘How to use AI with DE’, and this time we have none other than ...
Writing SQL was never the hard part. Making it accurate and trustworthy against your warehouse always was. Point an AI agent like Claude or Codex at your data stack and ask a real analytics question, and the answer is usually ...
It's now common knowledge that LLMs / AI agents are vulnerable to all kind of injections, so attackers are being more and more creative to find new entrypoints. One commonly
This is my favorite news from all of WWDC this week. I mean that. In a small way I mean it because I so loathe this aspect of MacOS Tahoe. But in a large way I mean it because it’s ...
There have been so many Assassin's Creed games, and so many games inspired by Assassin's Creed, that it's easy to forget that Assassin's Creed used to be Weird. Or Weird for a game of its scale, anyway. I remember when ...
Golf content on social media is my online junk food and the other day I came across a video interviewing professional golfers that asks: “What does an amateur golfer have to shoot to be considered good?” It’s a leading question ...
When I talk to other journalists and random bus stop strangers about the idea of divesting from Microsoft and Xbox - worth doing for many reasons besides the company's dealings with the Israeli military - there is often an air ...
There are many ways to create memorable experiences. Sometimes it's as simple as a form that completes smoothly. But here I'm interested in sharing techniques I reach for when I want a site to feel alive and be remembered. Creating ...
If you've ever heard code is an expression of free speech you have Cindy Cohn to thank. Her decades of work in courtrooms and at the Electronic Frontier Foundation has been keeping Open Source, open and private communications, private. We ...
There seems to be a fair amount of people in either extremes in the current AI landscape. At one side we see the “vibe coders” who use agents and allow them to merge code without any person even looking at ...
From embedded firmware (where it's badly needed) to big servers passing by cross-platform applications used by billions of people, the foundations of the computing stack are being rewritten in Rust.

I have been a staunch supporter of Open Source for a long time, including experiments in funding it. I’m a true believer in the idea that Open Source always wins in the long run, but not automatically and not quickly. ...

“The widespread deployment of AI/LLMs constitutes an existential threat to labor whether or not it is an adept move by the adoptive industries. Thus it is essential for workers to stop asking whether or not AI works and start asking ...
I've just saw a project using the dreaded monorepo architecture: service1-package1/ service1-package2/ service1-package3/ ... service2-package1/ service2-package2/ ... I don't like it because packages are not grouped by context and domain.
