Nick Cole’s post [http://www.nickcolebooks.com/2017/01/11/platform-you-need-one/] has certainly struck a chord. To add to the list of those commenting on it (after Vox Day, and others) is now Brian Niemeier [http://www.brianniemeier.com/], author of the Soul Cycle trilogy. > I’ve certainly taken Nick’s platform-building advice to heart. Let’s test it by seeing how many copies of my book this post sells. Oh, yeah, if you haven’t [started the series yet](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZBD…

I have not finished Forbidden Thoughts yet, [https://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-Thoughts-Milo-Yiannopoulos-ebook/dp/B01N5LU9C4/] so a review will have to wait.

To follow up on the notes in my previous post where Apple really dropped the fucking ball – and other people, even fanboys, are arguing that Apple is provably losing it on multiple fronts – John Gruber points [https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/01/03/adamson] to an article called “ Capitulation [http://subfurther.com/blog/2017/01/03/capitulation/].” > Yes, I bought a new Mac Pro. For certain values of “new”. Hear me out, though, after the jump. Why? So, my last post [http://subfurther.com…
John Gruber’s site is one I have a love-hate relationship with. The man “gets” why Apple has worked – whether you like Apple kit or not – and what made apple successful as a businessup to this time.

PDF and preview issues in Sierra are affecting what used to be long-standing features of the app and the API [https://tidbits.com/article/16966]. The kicker is this: > Apple wants to use a common foundation for both iOS and macOS. However, it was released way too early, and for the first time (at least in my experience) Apple deprecated several features without caring about compatibility. And to make things worse, lots of former features are now broken or not implemented at all, meaning that we…
