I've not run into the new monthly screen recording prompt yet but I can imagine that when I do it might get annoying. I appreciate Apple being super cautious with security and stuff like this, most of the time, but this feels a bit too much.

It's good to know there is a way to work around it, if you're happy to go "under the hood".

Having finally switched to using pure-Apple-ecosystem for sleep tracking, I was curious why I wasn't getting any sort of "time in bed" value recorded (as opposed to time asleep). The previous (iOS-based) tracking app did it just fine.

Turns out it used to be an option that was set on the phone, and iOS 18 seems to have taken it away, but still reports it (as nothing recorded).

Weird.

Instagram scaled from 0 to 14 million users in just over a year, from October 2010 to December 2011. They did this with only 3 engineers.

They did this by following 3 key principles and having a reliable tech stack.

Someone has suggested to me, without any sources cited, that DC Thomson was a supporter of the Nazi regime back in the 1930s (similar to the history of the Daily Mail, it seems).

I've gone looking for evidence of this claim and found nothing; I did find this though, which was kind of interesting.

The question of "pride" in relation to the employee/employer relationship comes up a lot in internal surveys, in my experience. This paper seems to seek to take a fairly technical approach to understanding the importance and impact.

It does raise the more general question though: what does it really mean to be proud of your employer?
