Op-ed: How I gave up alternating current | Ars Technica:
I have not set foot in a grocery store in years. Nevermore will I bumble through endless confusing aisles like a pack-donkey searching for feed while the smell of rotting flesh fills my nostrils and fluorescent lights sear my eyeballs and sappy love songs torture my ears. Grocery shopping is a multisensory living nightmare. There are services that will make someone else do it for me but I cannot in good conscience force a fellow soul through this gauntlet.
Swift is kind of like when you’re a kid and you fill the bag of jelly beans with all your favorite flavors and then reach in and have a handful all at once. Each was a good idea, but together it lacks anything that made any single piece good.
This WWDC marks the first time I’ve ever seen more IPv6 devices on the LAN than IPv4. That’s kind of cool. I’m sure a lot of it is due to NDP, but that’s fine. Also, I appear to have a global address assigned as well (and I’ve subsequently disconnected from that interface, so 😛). Very nice to see the adoption is rolling out well.

Really? Your account name is “disc burner” and you’re selling cheap copies of Windows Pro? Unbranded discs with a key tossed in?
Of course, if Microsoft would stop charging a premium for the OS and bring it down to dozens of dollars instead of hundreds, this wouldn’t be as much a thing.
I recently received a notice from my kid’s after-school care provider that they had setup an online service to check on the bill and update personal information, etc. Well, that’s nice — I thought — so I hopped right on setup the account.
At first, some good signs. All the accounts were pre-setup with the registered email and a password was pre-set that was based on some information most people wouldn’t have. Not perfect, but better than most.
For a mess of reasons too boring to get into, I wanted to get a Bluetooth keyboard for my iPad Mini. After poking around for a bit I found some good candidates, but holy hell is the market for BT keyboards crap right now.
The Apple Wireless Keyboard is pretty much a desk keyboard. While I really hate wires, I hate replacing batteries for needlessly portable devices more, so I always go wired at desks when I can (my love for the Magic Touchpad is an exception to the rule). There are a dozen clones of that keyboard out there (whose manufacturers are both named and unnamed) but the design is very much for the desktop.
I Can Text You A Pile of Poo, But I Can’t Write My Name by Aditya Mukerjee | Model View Culture:
We have an unambiguous, cross-platform way to represent “PILE OF POO” (💩), while we’re still debating which of the 1.2 billion native Chinese speakers deserve to spell their own names correctly.
If you’re having trouble getting Doxygen to parse NS_ENUM statements, here’s the config file magic:
ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES
MACRO_EXPANSION = YES
PREDEFINED = "NS_ENUM(_type, _name)=enum _name : _type"
You may or may not want to enable EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF to only expand that one macro.
The Design Philosophy of the DARPA Internet Protocols | the morning paper:
Understanding the underlying principles behind something can turn what might on the surface seem to be simply a collection of facts into a chain of causes and consequences that makes it much easier to see how those parts fit together. Clark provides us with some of those insights for the design of the Internet Protocols, working from the goals towards the implementation consequences.
Hacker Mythologies and Mismanagement by Betsy Haibel | Model View Culture:
But these beliefs about who we are are actually about what makes us feel special.
In other words, software engineers are humans.
As humans, we lie to ourselves. We lie to ourselves about who we are. (We’re smarter than you.) We lie to ourselves about what we do. (We are changing the world, one photo-sharing app at a time.) We lie to ourselves about how best to do it. (In caves.)
