It’s safe to say that Apple broke copy/paste on macOS 27.

Shin honkaku is a sub-genre of Japanese detection fiction — and my new obsession!

Quick note before we begin: this is the first of two posts I’m publishing today.

I don’t mean to immediately renege my plan to largely ignore AI stuff but “The AI Artist Paradox” by Heydon is solid logic I appreciate.

My latest post “Shin honkaku” has a fancy new typographic header.

My blog is standard.site ready but I’m pausing full integration for now.

A few people suggested Radicle so I listed it as a GitHub alternative.

I’m considering if I should replace my AI policy with simple: “No, never.”

The nice thing about keeping a blog is that I can say at precisely 9:51am, Wednesday 5th February 2025, I discovered that macOS 15.3 had enabled a feature that was phoning home every 15 minutes with personal data.

The plan was to read Seishi Yokomizo but two different authors caught my attention: The Moai Island Puzzle - Alice Arisugawa The Devotion of Suspect X - Keigo Higashino Moai Island was great.

I’ve been rocking an LG monitor that has noticeable burn-in.

Let me make it clear: without people at the top of their game sharing their experience and knowledge — regardless of whatever “game changing” technology is in place — we are pulling up the ladders and committing our industry to stagnation and death.

Apple’s daily harassment beat me into submission.

Not long ago I was fooled into thinking Digital Ocean had done right by CSS-Tricks.

Aha!

Three reasons why “AI” companies like Anthropic are fearmongering: It’s free advertising.

I finished the two remaining Yukito Ayatsuji books: The Labyrinth House Murders The Clock House Murders Neither were as good as the Mill House.

216,000,000 Spy TVs | The LG Smart TV Problem (Gamers Nexus, YouTube) We all know that smart TVs phone home but it’s far more invasive (and illegal) than you could possibly imagine.

After discovering shin honkaku detective fiction and The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, I’ve read: Murder in the Crooked House (Sōji Shimada) The Decagon House Murders (Yukito Ayatsuji) The Mill House Murders (Yukito Ayatsuji) Shimada’s second book (translated into

I keep hearing this damned word pop up and it’s starting to annoy me.

It’s not every day I read an email subject that makes my heart sink, only to find myself laughing out loud.

Hello RSS reader!

Over the bank holiday weekend I read The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Sōji Shimada.

Software developers haven’t all switched to using agents for their coding, but they do seem to have all switched to error-prone, backwards-facing, nondeterministic chatbots for what now passes as web dev “education”.

I’m on annual leave next week.

I’ve already announced my new company half a dozen times by now.
