Who ever decided "send on enter" was a good UX in messaging apps and to have no option to disable that functionality? It's such a waste of time recalling accidentally sent messages to re-edit.

Last week, I spoke about AI and regulations at an event at the U.S. Capitol attended by legislative and business leaders. I’m encouraged by the progress the open source community has made fending off regulations that would have stifled innovation. But opponents of open source are

The UN vote on Palestinian membership exposes once again how broken an organization the UN is. Absolute vetos by any single country render the UN impotent. Maybe the requirement for a veto should be two permanent security council members.

Got the new ipad Pro. It's like a really early alpha release. Wait six months until they finish it

Learning lots at Qubits conference in Boston this week.

Anyone else noticed that github copilot has regressed in the quality of the help it provides. I've also found it introducing random "corrections" that break my code, as well as random imports.

Totally misleading headline in RTE website article. Average household size is probably about 4, so we might be about breakeven which is still not good enough. But irresponsible sensationalised journalism helps nobody. rte.ie/news/business/…

What is it with #AWS in China? AWS China just keeps becoming totally unresponsive if you're outside China - probably not the same if you're inside. All services become unavailable regularly.

New #DART timetable. Nothings changed. Same random lottery as to when they might turn up and how long the journey might take

We need a second Dublin airport well removed from the city centre so that people can have a quiet nights sleep and tourists can get to and from the city. Busy airports close to city centres doesn't work
