After 3 months in review — including 30+ days for appeal — UTM SE was approved for PAL 🎉

Apple also called us to say they decided to allow it in the App Store too, what a coincidence!

Our first set of 3rd party apps is now notarized, and will be available for PAL users soon 🙂

"How in particular should *we* respond—those of us who did and do see Trump as an urgent threat to our liberal order and consider defeating him to be America’s most urgent political priority?"

To condemn the attack on Trump’s life - as, of course, every decent person should - requires being honest about his candidacy. Gabriel Schoenfeld on the truth about political violence: thebulwark.com/p/truth-about-p…

"Liberty Phone", 2014-ish specs in a $2000 phone, what the fuck. The processor costs $73 per piece. Can someone that (un)fortunately bought this thing confirm it's actually using Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6, or is it a marketing lie?

Something reminded me today of @chadaustin's argument that Go isn't a good language for application servers, laid out in this 2016 post: chadaustin.me/2016/04/two-kind… That post gives reasons why Haskell is better, while acknowledging its relatively poor usability. I wonder how Rust compares. I see people argue that Rust is better for special-purpose infrastructure servers than for application servers, because for the latter you want garbage collection, not Rust's ownership model.
in reply to Chad Austin

What do you think about Rust compared to Haskell for application servers? Have you done any Haskell lately?
in reply to Matt Campbell

I haven’t written Haskell or any serious product or business logic since then! I don’t personally enjoy Rust that much (to my surprise) but it has excellent compositional properties for large systems. And I think IMVU switched to C# on the backend to avoid dealing with GHC’s GC.

I do miss monads. No other mainstream language lets you restrict effects. Being able to say “you cannot do non-database IO inside of a transaction” was so good.



Accessibility is not inclusive design or disability rights. It’s a part of it. Eric Eggert explains.

Have been listening to some of the episodes of this Computer Talk magazine from the 90's. oneswitch.org.uk/art.php?id=36…. I'm amazed at some of the stuff that these guys were getting up to, there is an article in one of the magazines which talks about using boot menus in DOS 6! I feel we've lost a bit of that technical prowess with the younger blind generation, maybe that's an overall decline?


“It cannot be stressed enough: Violence should have no place in American political life. But one cannot let the matter rest there…It took only minutes for Trump’s allies and supporters to turn the bloody episode into a battering ram against Democrats…”

Love this story about Finland getting rid of private education and just making all schools good - and accessible - instead. There’s a reason the same countries keep coming top of the education charts inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/fi…
in reply to Leanne J

This only works well as long as you can trust your current government and all future governments that might possibly get elected.

Poland's system is a bit like that, and there are a lot of good things to be said about it to be sure, but the conservative government we had for the last 8 or so years has definitely abused the control they had over schools.

They massively increased the amount of time spent on teaching history, in a "Poland good, Germany bad" way of course, sacrificing of other subjects, particularly STEM. They also limited social studies / citizen's education and removed parts of the curriculum that were not quite favorable to that government's worldview.

The new government seems to be undoing some of this damage, but that's only going to last for as long as they're in power.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki Yes I agree you need some protections built in so the government can’t mess about with it.
in reply to Leanne J

But who's going to implement the protections and what's going. to stop the government from just removing them?

Such a system would work if the protections are enshrined in some kind of constitution or an American-style "you can't change this for 30 years without a supermajority" bill, but if that's impossible, you need some kind of objective reality (like private schools) that makes this more difficult to do than changing some law.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki Existence of private education doesn't solve that. It just lets the elite opt out of caring when shit goes bad. The real mitigation is organizing and public backlash, not a pressure relief valve for the upper class.

@Samvega Nobody is in control of *all* private schools.

The problem with government-mandated curricula is that there's usually no other alternative, maybe except moving to a different country.



Today I learned: There's a significant difference in mental wellbeing between liberals and conservatives, in favor of conservatives. It's most visible among young liberal Americans in recent years (which shouldn't be a surprise to anybody paying attention), but it has probably existed forever and has been consistently demonstrated in many different countries and age groups.

There's a really good analysis here americanaffairsjournal.org/202…

Ne, kecám. Potřeboval jsem z Obi přivést žebřík a po cestě potkal Lenku s nákupem. Ale stejně mě baví vozit věci, který by se na kolo asi moc dávat neměly :D

Accessibility is not a loud, one-time event; it's a quiet revolution. It's also isn't about quick fixes or public shaming.

it's about the power of ongoing action like watering a plant – splash it once, and you'll make a mess; nurture it daily, and you'll watch it thrive.

Somewhat spicy headline this time, but been thinking about how GitHub's been feeling to me for awhile and seeing a feature I rely heavily on get worse made me realize: it feels like "GitHub", the traditional website, is being treated as a legacy product from corporate's perspective. It exists, lots of people use it, but it doesn't feel like the *future* of the site. Maybe time for me to really learn about other hosts and git clients.
