Apple has announced plans to require developers to submit reasons to use certain APIs in their apps starting later this year with the release of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, tvOS 17, and watchOS 10 to prevent their abuse for data collection. https://thehackernews.com/2023/07/apple-sets-new-rules-for-developers-to.html

Twitter was able to change the logo of their iOS app but not the name, since Apple requires app names to be at least 2 characters.

They’re also still referring to the app as Twitter in the update notes (via

Nearly every material, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas, expands when its temperature goes up and contracts when its temperature goes down.

There are a few exceptions, but by and large, materials conform strictly to this principle. There is, however, a class of metal alloys called Invars (think invariable), that stubbornly refuse to change in size and density over a large range of temperatures.

For over 100 years, the source of this unique property has remained a mystery, but now, researchers have finally discovered the mechanism that causes Invars to behave the way that they do.

It's my latest for work.

🎉 #GitHub Next is hiring! A rare opportunity to join a small but mighty team. 100% kind, thoughtful, and smart humans whose mission it is to improve software development, for all developers (and future developers!) You may know us from such efforts as Copilot and CopilotX, though we do not limit ourselves to research on AI things. It's just another tool in the toolbox.

Please boost for reach! We're a team that has the agency of a startup, the resources of a GitHub, and broad latitude to define what we investigate. It's my dream job. Maybe it's yours? ❤️✌️

And I caught Microsoft at doing this nasty thing again.

First time I noticed Microsoft doing this on Microsoft Designer website: https://collar.place/@Sominemo/110275107838229822

Important sets:
ℂ the complex numbers
ℕ the natural numbers
ℚ the rational numbers
ℝ the real numbers
𝕏 the set of fascists wannabes
ℤ the integers

The only X I really care about.

apparently twitter has a new logo that is like the X11 logo

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

Apropos of everything, I assume Xitter is pronounced "shitter."

In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as X.com, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.

Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.

That's a lot to take in.
