Programming Affordances That Invite Mistakes

Many of my philosophies in work life, my volunteer life, and my personal life stem from experiences. As a developer, many of those come from being burnt by rough edges or mistakes. Just as health & safety principles come from accidents, my development practices come from bugs, errors, and mistakes. With that in mind, here’s a war-story from my days running an R&D startup when we lost all the data we thought we gathered from a psychology study. I founded an R&D startup that worked closely with

Samsung could take inspiration from iOS’s Live Voicemail and Pixel Call Screen (APK teardown)

Apple TL;DR Samsung is working on an on-device voicemail feature similar to iOS’s Live Voicemail. This feature would allow calls to be screened and corresponding voice messages to be stored directly on the device.

The feature was spotted within One UI 8 beta code and may initially be rolled out only in select regions. With iOS 17, Apple intr

Evolution Mail Users Easily Trackable

Evolution Mail’s “Load Remote Content” option, as a privacy protection feature doesn’t work. They know it doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked for years and there is no sign it will be fixed any time soon.

This happens with re

Gmail’s tool for easily unsubscribing newsletters is now available for all

Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,
