    It’s funny how “catwoman”, “catgirl”, and “cat lady” are all completely different things.

    Funny that after decades of sci-fi asking “what if we made an AI that was actually alive but nobody believed it was?”, we instead seem to be dealing with “what if we made an AI that was definitely not alive but lots of people believed it was?”

    I’d say that Peter has forgotten more about Apple APIs than most of us have ever known, but I’m not sure they’ve ever forgotten anything about an API, no matter how old or obscure. Hire them! https://mastodon.social/@boredzo/116495684700486191

    Hot take: The Artemis livestream is a damning indictment of modern computing devices. It seems like half the radio chatter is troubleshooting email delivery problems, confusing user interfaces, or devices not booting or connecting. Literal astronauts with years of training can’t make our stuff work. https://tech.lgbt/@quephird/116353383035378497

    It’s a rainy, dreary day, but even the days that aren’t perfect are better than a good day before. Transitioning is the best decision I’ve ever made.

    Given how many good trans engineers I know who just mysteriously never get an offer, I’ll say it explicitly: I’ve seen the Swift team evaluate and sometimes hire trans candidates. You’ll get a fair shot. https://f.duriansoftware.com/@joe/116144532826406043
