    Writing a Tab View Controller in Swift UI
    In my opinion, Swift UI is a fantastic jumping-off point for less experienced developers wanting to get into iOS development. It reminds me of my earliest days of programming; just turn the clock back 15 years and swap Swift with HTML. One of the great things is that a lot of the groundwork has been laid by Apple. It's relatively easy to use Swift's built-in components to put together an …

    How do media in Bangladesh understand gender sensitivity?
    Bangladesh ranks 163rd in the world in the Press Freedom Index and journalists face difficult working conditions, with poor pay and little job security. BBC Media Action has been working through Protecting Independent Media for Effective Development (PRIMED) to support local media associations in their efforts at change. In this third of three articles, our guest blogger Udisa Islam, special correspondent for the Bangla Tribune, examines the issue of gender …

    Interview with A.A. Nemtheanga of Verminous Serpent (Primordial, The Nest, Dread Sovereign, Blood Revolt…)
    This is a more brief discussion that took place over the course of a week with the venerable and fervorous A.A. Nemtheanga with the intention of poking and prodding into the intentions and ideas of his newest group, Verminous Serpent. I had an early listening promo and spent nearly two weeks straight listening to it, munching on their blend of bestial black/death metal which draws from the wells of the …

    When a Business Pleads to be Regulated
    On regulatory capture…1/ There are two reactions a company can have when faced with calls for regulation. One is to appear to capitulate & work w/regulators to find a least disruptive path. Other is to fight it knowing you’re turning over control of your roadmap to a bureaucracy. There’s one more…2/ Enter AI and the new big tech, who directly or historically have battled regulation for ~100 yrs. A new …

    Kraken Not Found
    OK, I built a new PC last year, and it’s been generally awesome. Except for one little thing. I put a NZXT Kraken Z53 in it. The Z53 is a nifty dual-fan all-in-one water cooler, complete with a little screen that shows the temperature of my cooling loop (or a GIF of my choice, whatever). It comes in a variety of sizes and is available in both white and black, …

    Faith, In The End, Is Rewarded
    Few people I know still have an RSS reader, ever since Google did us all dirty and essentially killed the entire idea of RSS; as such, I keep an oldschool bookmark list of comics that I open daily. Things that don’t update on particular days, or perhaps are on hiatus, they get opened up along with the more active sites; the cost of doing so is negligible. And sometimes, that …

    Apollo-Soyuz II (1974)
    Image credit: NASA.The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) had its origins in talks aimed at developing a common U.S./Soviet docking system for space rescue. The concept of a common docking system was first put forward in 1970; it was assumed at that time, however, that the docking system would be developed for future spacecraft, such as the U.S. Space Station/Space Shuttle, not the U.S. Apollo

    The Entire Kitchen Sink Redux
    Hi! Welcome to a kinda-sorta complete overview of everything Kitchen Sink published. I started this project in late 2021, and it took me a year and a half to complete. Compared with some of my other comics reading projects (see sidebar to the right) I kinda-sorta failed: The schtick with these projects is to read everything a publisher has er published, and then natter on about each series a bit. …

    Week 109: My AI Team
    Just like week 108, I started writing this post late-march, but got so busy that it wasn’t finished and published until May. On March 21, Morten Just posted a tweet that set my brain on fire: Apparently, he had created a Slack bot with different personas based on which slack channel he uses, e.g. #ai-copywriter for copy writing, #ai-web-developer, #ai-lawyer, etc. I thought the idea of having an AI team …
