The subject here is photography but I think it can be applied to any other creative endeavour out there. Resonated for me as well.

🔗 A big bet to kill the password for good
Lot of talk about getting the user experience/OS compatability right, which is good. But I see no real indication on how they’re going to get the millions of app/website developers to switch to this. Hope they’ve considered that.
Happy “generics finally in Go” day.
(I wouldn’t call myself someone who was itching for the Go devs to add generics; but now that they are in the language, I’ll probably use them).
A pretty good introduction about the fundamentals of Kubernetes, and also the post in question here.
🔗 Simulating Amazon DynamoDB unique constraints using transactions
A technique to simulate a uniqueness constraint on a field not used in the key. Came in handy for solving a problem I was having with DynamoDB today. I wrote more about it here if you’re curious.
A collection of useful writing tips for journalists, but I think would also be helpful for anyone else writing online.
🔗 No, Apple Did Not Crowdfund :focus-visible in Safari (via Daring Fireball)
I see nothing wrong with this. Apple has got their own priority backlog of work for Safari, but the fact that Safari is open source means that if others have different priorities, they have the ability to make these changes to the project directly, should they be capable of doing so. What these other contributors choose to do, and how they choose to decide this, is their business.
I’m not expecting regular users of Safari to understand this distinction between open-source project owners and contributors, but I’d had though that web-developers, whom I imagine deal with open-source software all the time, to know better. So it’s either that those complaining are not aware that Safari is an open-source project, or they do know and are just jumping on the rage bandwagon for whatever reason they may have. If it’s the latter, then I think they’re doing themselves a disservice.
My face is getting sore with all the palm prints on it. 🤦
🔗 Wordle and IP law: What happens when a hot game gets cloned
I guess the moral of the story is that you might have the legal right to do something like clone a game, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll get off looking honourable doing so.
🔗 The Algorithmic Ad Monster Cometh for Podcasts
I’m starting to hear more of these types of ads in the shows I follow, and I despise them. I agree with the statement of the ads being part of the product. I tend to listen to host-read ads. I definitely skip the automated ones.
