Oliver Reichenstein (Mastodon, Hacker News): A couple of months ago, Google changed its API policy and revoked iA Writer’s access to Google Drive on Android. By freezing up Android’s main storage option, our app was frozen in carbonite. It still lived but we couldn’t move forward before resolving it. In order to allow our users to access their Google Drive on their phones we had to rewrite privacy statements, update …

“My own interpretation of this painting changes from day to day, hour to hour, and is based on nothing more than letting my mind wander whilst staring at the print on my wall. My thoughts vacillate. Sometimes I see an image that’s profoundly unknowable. A painting from tens of thousands of years ago surely lies beyond some horizon of intelligibility. Such painting, separated from the world that gave rise to …

You’re searching for what to do in this frightening situation, and how to respond to an apparently personalized threat that even includes your actual “LastNameFirstName.pdf” and a picture of …

🚀 The Book in 3 Sentences Estimates based on surveys suggest that more than a third of all employed people are convinced that their own job is so pointless it wouldn’t matter at all to anyone if their position would cease to exist tomorrow. Not only is this making people miserable, it also makes little economic sense, but still the invisible hand of the market astonishingly won’t solve the situation …

Our Route to Fredericton We were through the no-hassle U.S. Border Control and back in Lubec, Maine with less than a 5-minute wait. We were so close to Eastport, Maine, we decided to take a little sidetrip. It’s the easternmost ‘city’ in the USA… versus easternmost town or point, a very important distinction. Eastport is the epitome of ‘Downeast Maine’. Why Downeast, you ask? In the days of old, ‘downeast’ …

Hear Fear: An Interview With John Cale (1974)Since we were talking about Joe Boyd yesterday, here’s the guy Boyd introduced to Nick Drake one fateful day in 1970, which resulted in some of the most beautiful music ever made — “Fly” and “Northern Sky.” John Cale! What a dude. You could fantasize about further John/Nick collabs for the rest of your life, but what we’ve got is exquisite enough. A …

It was the smallest member of the Booksellers Association (I had a sticker on the glass and everything) and I partnered with a great book wholesaler. So the book business relies on wholesalers. They buy the books from the publishers and bookshops buy the books from …

When proofreading dies, I'll become a gravedigger. And this, I'll do it for Him and for me and for her. When I die, I hope I'll have completed my to-do list (I believe such a thing exists). When I die, I hope I'll go to Heaven; cuz' currently I'm in earthly Purgatory!

Despite better judgement I decided to code a basic HTML parser. Not the full HTML spec but enough to create a tree of nodes and attributes. I’ve already written a streamable XML parser that has been working for my podcast web app.Parsing (most) HTML isn’t as complicated as it sounds. Look for a less-than sign < and see if a valid tag like <div> follows. If that node is a …
