This one raises a fascinating philosophical question: if you list your flat for £200k more than it is worth, have you really listed it, or are you just posting pictures of your home's interior online?
The way Apple restricts passkey usage to its own app on an iPhone is so hostile. Defeats the purpose of passkeys. Enraging.

The reviewer read the draft twice. Did not flinch, did not blink, did not reach for the red pen (3). That's the whole review, honestly. Don't call it a rewrite — call it a rescue. The improvement is real, and it's not subtle. That loss is worth naming. Sit with that for a moment. The gains were modest, but that's not nothing. You already know the answer, of course. Consistency is the entire game, and the punchline is that nobody wants to hear it.

I've been following this for a while, going to start building something asap 😄
AT Protocol Developers@atproto.com · last mo.The most significant extension to the protocol since launch—atproto spaces—is now officially alpha software you can start testing with. Here's more about the goals and how to start testing. atproto.com/blog/atproto...
first impressions of the @frame.work 13 pro: gosh the screen is bright. trackpad is very nice. the screen/lid definitely wobbles but passes the one hand opening test.

finding out the hard way that there's no way to build iOS apps for the app store on a macOS beta build, because for whatever reason, macOS beta can't run a stable version of xcode. xcode cloud has stepped in, but it's baffling how apple has managed to tightly couple these things.

Some campaigners say 'floating' bus stops where cycle tracks go past are "dangerous... devastating... inaccessible" for Visually Impaired bus users. New government guidance shows opposite. 👏 Good to see the City of London delivering inclusive cycle tracks with proper bus stop treatments...
City of London cycleway plan to go ahead after pause
Work on the Aldgate to Blackfriars route was paused over concerns about floating bus stops.

new data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)
Permissioned Data Diary 5: What’s in a Name?
In this permissioned data diary, we dive deep into the URI structure for permissioned data on atproto and use it to motivate a bunch of the larger design.

There are no technical or compliance reasons to double the size of symmetric keys in response to the threat of quantum computers. This common misunderstanding of Grover's algorithm risks wasting limited resources that should go towards deploying actually urgent post-quantum algorithms.
Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-bit Symmetric Keys
There is no need to update symmetric key sizes as part of the post-quantum transition, due to the details of how Grover's algorithm scales. Most authorities agree.

The YouTube app auto-playing shorts as soon as you open it is incredibly predatory—and brazenly so! Is there any way to turn this off?
Linear.app's new Reviews feature is quite nice. Devin.ai also has a great review tool that helps deal with the mess of comments LLM review tools make on PRs. GitHub is being relegated to being a (poor) infrastructure host.
I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

I do sympathise with Google in having to do this: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026... Don't underestimate how people can easily be socially-engineered! Phones are people's lives now. I think this is much better than what was previously proposed (submitting all apps to Google for signing/verification).

The "advanced flow" will be available before verification enforcement begins later this year.
