I am a software engineer at Apple building the platform for Apple Business. I work with people supporting American manufacturing and business growth.

  • Solar Eclipse of the Heart ↗︎

    The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars.

  • Hello, World ↗︎

    NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window on April 2, 2026, after completing the translunar injection burn.

  • Axios compromised with a remote access trojan ↗︎

    This is your reminder to make sure you’re using npm min-release-age, pnpm minimumReleaseAge, or yarn npmMinimalAgeGate to protect your projects.

    You should also check to ensure your projects are not already compromised.

    Joe Desimone:

    Any system that ran npm install (or equivalent) resolving [email protected] or [email protected] after 2026-03-31T00:21:58Z may have executed the stage-2 payload. 

    See also the Stage 2 macOS trojan analysis for more detail and IoCs.

  • Fatherhood is the end of philosophy ↗︎

  • Pretext ↗︎

    Cheng Lou introduces a library providing text height without DOM calculation in the hot path, manual line routing, and width-tight multiline UI:

    Pure JavaScript/TypeScript library for multiline text measurement & layout. Fast, accurate & supports all the languages you didn’t even know about. Allows rendering to DOM, Canvas, SVG and soon, server-side.

    Pretext side-steps the need for DOM measurements (e.g. getBoundingClientRectoffsetHeight), which trigger layout reflow, one of the most expensive operations in the browser. It implements its own text measurement logic, using the browsers’ own font engine as ground truth (very AI-friendly iteration method).

    Check out the demos.
