Instead, the sensible thing is to release 27.2β first, THEN 27.1β with more features than 27.2β, and make 27.2β not support the new phone. Also the new phone isn't in stores for another month" 000

Ky @kynorthstar.me · 07/07/2026When @marcoarment.bsky.social expected that Claude Fable would be back within months and that was shortcutted to weeks, he then expected the July 7th deadline wasn't what it seemed; it might be back again soon thereafter... I felt there was good truth to that. Didn't expect it back THE NEXT DAY 🤣 000

Ky @kynorthstar.me · 02/07/2026Sad to see Anthropic go this route. I expect this of companies like Google or Meta or OpenAI, who are eager to build a surveillance state, but until now Anthropic has felt similar to Apple: focus on just making a good product and always consider the user. Oh well. www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy 000
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026QUERY really shines best with large requests, since those don't neatly fit in a URL query string, and POST isn't designed to be a "fetch this data" method. My example would probably fit just fine in a URL query string, but I figured it's still an easily-understood example that gets the point across 000
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026Now, that modern REST app will send a QUERY with the appropriate data in its body, and the server/CDN can return the JSON response it needs, fast & reliably, without bodges! 🧵 5/5 000
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026It'd then receive a JSON blob from the server, and use that to build the "About Me" section (not the section itself, not what the user sees). Neither GET nor POST was meant for this, but QUERY is. 🧵 4/5 100
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026For example, yesterday, if a REST app is on the user page and I tap "About Me", it would send a GET request with the query data in the URL query string (really long URLs!), or a POST request with it in the body (not idempotent, not really cacheable) 🧵 3/5 100
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026This should close a gap in modern REST apps, where methods like GET/POST are used to fetch technical information: data that programming languages use to build or change something, rather than their intended purpose of fetching a single user-facing resource like a webpage, or submitting a form 🧵 2/5 100
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 24/06/2026This won't make headlines, but it really should. The QUERY HTTP method is finally an RFC, after over 11 years of redrafts, debates, and collaboration!

Ky @kynorthstar.me · 23/05/2026Getting the details right mattered a lot to me; there’s an active community behind this package, many of whom were instrumental in ensuring version 3 went off without a hitch! I couldn’t have done this without their active and enthusiastic participation in PRs and emails. 110
Ky @kynorthstar.me · 23/05/2026This is version 3 of a package I’ve refined for years. Started as a replica of macOS bezel notifications, same rock-solid API as ever. Now, I added toasts (popup messages). Same concept, in modern SwiftUI for modern apps. Enterprise reliability, and a declarative API SwiftUI devs will expect & love. 320

Why make a security program run another program that is so much less secure on every failed attempt? It was begging for exploitation.
