Busy few days! And a belated happy 50th birthday to #Apple I wrote a little piece about some of their lesser known legacies for @IEEESpectrum based on a conversation with John buck and his “inventing the future” book.

@jsnell another book no one is covering all about the atg (I’ve got a piece on it coming out next week)

Grammarly annoyed a bunch of people with new features this week. Seems like a good time to share this. Might be time for an update to see if alternatives have improved.

Ps. Vale desktop is in testing and is getting closer to a private beta ;)

Final week to win me running a d&d session (and a lot of other prizes) and help a good cause!

V0.34.0 of the vale for vscode extension is out and features two new features that add more of an “interface” to two underlying vale features.

You can manually and automatically sync vale packages.

You can add words to the accept and reject list of vocabularies.
