Hi @stefano. Sending this post from MastoBlaster on TestFlight. It looks good. Almost like a native Apple UI.

It’s up for a spin.

I’m s there a reference book for software testing out there? I’m familiar with basics using Rust and a bit of cpp (didn’t study CS at uni). Any recommendation will be much appreciated.

Good morning internet.

Just in: computers made snail mail (letters) obsolete somewhere. And it’s in Denmark.

If we consider 1965 as the year that electronic mail started to take its actual shape and fulfill its function… Then it’s roughly a 60 years cycle between the time the technology is out, and the time it replaces its direct legacy predecessor system.

Here I speak purely in terms of core function, regardless of size or capex… And no allusion whatsoever to hubris and new born technologies that have been force fed to the public by barely-adult post-teenagers, without the slightest idea of real world innovation cycles, and an infinite appetite for endless cash, or else we are doomed to live in the stone age of the pre-smartphone era.

Mind you, email is a very well understood and robust stack that predates the modern internet to some extent, and the web by a large margin.

Hats off to the Danish postal services, for what I imagine being 4 centuries of efficiency.

Found this interesting game after it was lost:

We start the week with Modern Talking's "You're my heart, You're my Soul": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kHl4FoK1Ys

Being bald in the 80s was not an option. It was either full length or a thick touffe on the top. Nothing less.

Have a great start of the week.

@stefano what they meant is "we will rent you our computer space, and make you unlearn using yours."

There seems to be a phishing attack that impersonates ycombinator, and is sent via Github tickets. It was sitting in my inbox this morning.

At a first glance, it looks like YC is reaching out to open source contributors, at least from their messaging.

But soon enough the oddities pile up: The amount suggested is not what YC usually invests. Their instructions indicate that a "wallet" must be verified via a reimbursable transfer.

Finally none of the links is legit. The one visible in the picture below is sent by "ycoombinator". Another apply link (not visible in screenshot) points to: "https://y-comblnator [dot] com/apply".
