Why , why , why? The contacts part of the phone app on my iPhone is so fundamentally frustratingly broken now . It used to be great, now it’s not. This is so awful

Over my three decades working here, I have always found that the billboards in the Bay Area tell us something about the current zeitgeist -- but these ads feel particularly on point

This one is for @microsoft.com #thanks I just ran a compiled exe that I had written 2002 and last run in 2003. It worked perfectly. Microsoft sometimes gets a bit of hate but when it comes to backwards compatibility no one beats them.

Hurrah to @bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social More or less for new Carols 👏

Hmm @swiftonsecurity.com maybe there are no Aliens because all intelligent species Dr story themselves within a few thousand years! Never lasting long enough to find each other

a “Space Force”, if you will

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Just when lots of very clever people were making progress on tying down as many #cybersecurity vulnerabilities as possible, we invented #AI #Agents to make sure they didn’t run out of things to do.

Loved this conversation with the @changelog.com crew!

Up on my website now there's a little writeup of the amazing Celsius 232 convention in Spain, along with a recorded interview with me given as special event to patrons of the festival (with permission) adriantchaikovsky.com

A functioning civil service is one of the most underrated parts of the modern state.

I think #Libitarians are learning what happens when you create a libitarian society. People look out for themselves but you can’t expect people to create decent education, affordable healthcare or decent infrastructure. For that you require a civil service and a functioning government

I love in a world full of influencers who think they have something to say but really just speak nonsense to the ether, we have @swiftonsecurity.com

Former Formula 1 team owner and broadcaster Eddie Jordan dies aged 76

How did we end up here?

I have been using @jetbrains.com AI plugin to help with coding in phpStorm and while it can be annoying and sometimes bug inducing, for the rest of the time I swear it’s reading my mind.

Went to the cinema for the first time in about 300 years. Every seat was a recliner with infinite leg room? When did this happen? Is cinema good now? Nothing was sticky?

I dont want to use #tiktok if it is sold to Americans. It is different to all other social networks which are all American owned another American owned social network is not what is needed

This week NATO launched 'Baltic Sentry', a new naval mission to prevent attacks on cable infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. The alliance says Russia is to blame for recent incidents, but can increased NATO patrols make a difference?

Ahhhh. How is it possible to write software like this and convince people it was fit for purpose. Now 33 years later a report finally calls out UK government for awful IT procurement

Is it possible that Elon is playing distraction?

That was a very expensive Bullhorn Elon Musk bought. Pretty effective though

My last film of the year was Rebel Ridge and what a goddamn pleasure it was. I dunno how this diamond slipped through the generic sludge of the Netflix process, but somehow it did. Simultaneously the best action film and the best legal thriller I've seen for months.

@bcantrill.bsky.social just listening to your book review episode. Wondering if you have read Game Wngine Black Book. Doom which is a hardware and software exploration of the technology invented for the Doom engine. I thought it was amazing. www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Engine-...
