π "How I accidentally became PureGym's unofficial Apple Wallet developer"
Vadim Drobinin, frustrated with his gym app, reverse engineers the API and makes it Apple Wallet compatible to save a whooping 3.2h each year when going into the gym. This post is why I love being a programmer - finding an issue, working around it, making things work. Beautiful.

π "I'm never going back to Matrix"
A good post about Matrix and where it comes short - messaging, surprisingly. There's a reason folks use Signal over the decentralized Matrix chat protocol and service.

π RE: "Google Cloud Incident"
Google Cloud Platform suffered an outage on the 12th of June, caused by a null pointer exception in a central component. As always, the post-mortem / incident report by Google is detailed, blameless, and open which is very nice to see - I like reading through them and learning from their takeaways.

π RE: "A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers β and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data"
