Bartender is the ONE app I can’t use my Mac without. :(((

https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/04/bartender-mac-app-new-owner/

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@webology Yeah especially because Bartender uses quite a bit of extra permissions 😨

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@jezdez @webology I wouldn’t even call it a response. What I’m curious about: I get Bartender thru Setapp who therefore must have a contractual relationship with the old owners so I’m super curious how they’ll handle it.

@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

Oh man, the situation around Bartender is getting only worse: https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/5427 (previously: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/s/pfOgBFn75F)

Even if this shakes out to be all fine, this kind of transition bodes very poorly for the app either way. “App Sub 1 LLC” 😳

@glyph Looking forward to return to my Mac in 2+ weeks and see what y’all found out 😇

📣🐍📚 Calling all Python library maintainers!

Python 3.13 is now in beta, with the second of four beta releases out later today!

It's now time to start testing your libraries with 3.13 and report any problems back to CPython so they can be fixed before the big October release. And make any updates you need to upgrade your library; keep an eye out for removals and deprecations.

Here's how to test 3.13 on GitHub Actions:

@hugovk CFFI 😭

@hugovk My understanding is they already fixed it months ago. Guessing their release process is painful.

Any idea why PostgreSQL is this much slower compared to SQLite and MySQL?

This is on Ubuntu 24.04, connecting through Django and I've tried both psycopg and psycopg2, but the result is the same: ~200 requests per second with Postgres compared to ~2000 with SQLite or MySQL.

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@anze3db @frank It’s not unheard of that certain queries have weird performance characteristics on Postgres. I would say dig out the queries and look at EXPLAIN / use a service that analyzes it.

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@anze3db @frank If only there were things that could find out where it’s spending its time! We could call it: profilers. 🤡

@anze3db @frank Alas! But maybe one day! 🤞

I am heading to Ireland very soon! My favorite way to prepare for trips is to read novels set in the destination. Any suggestions of great reads set in Ireland?
I’ll probably reread some of my beloved Tana French mysteries, but I would love other reccos!

Eating advice is also very welcome! Extra points for vegan friendly 💚

No better way than traveling super rural places to grow the existing hatred for self-indulgent web dev masturbation.

I’m usually coming by on 1–2 bars of cell reception and the Modern Web™️ is breaking in hilarious ways. So many -1s and (null)s abound.

I really hope Dante has reserved a circle of hell for people doing this to the world.

I know there are many prime examples of enshittification, but GoPro is mine. On every trip we want to use it, the app changes in mysterious ways to the worse. It’s always a huge PITA to JUST FUCKING DOWNLOAD THE MEDIA TO A PHONE.

Clear example of misaligned incentives: they really want us to buy their stupid cloud shit and we want to use a camera we paid for. Still failing btw due to opaque “Download failed” errors.

Steer clear of that garbage.

Trying out -sans-PowerPack, so far so good. (Been a decade since I last used it ~= "new user”…)

Once I added documents to its default search (no I don't want to do the ' thing) it can find my microwave manual PDF!

When I tell it I want to open "Documents", it opens ~/Documents, not some empty, unused "Documents" folder buried in a random app-related location! Wow!

Spotlight devs: see? was that so hard? Alfred's even using /your/ fucking metadata index to do this!

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@bitprophet You can get ' by hitting space after cmd space; no need to litter your default search

Every time DaVinci Resolve shows a green half-triangle or a weird moiré or some CGA-looking pattern instead of my video source, I have a good thought for the people who claim you can just be "really careful with C++" and avoid memory safety issues.

@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@fasterthanlime (BTW thanks for the video gear/software summary. I was thinking to replace my Yeti X by some fancy shotgun to improve my sound and get it out of the picture but your reasoning to get a podcaster mic and “eat it” applies 100% to me too and I think you saved me a bunch of euros there)

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@fasterthanlime Do you mean the pre-dental one where you thank iZotope? 😅 I’m a bit confused on the timeline since I read it later.

I was thinking lapel too but I wonder if I can match the quality of the Yeti X… wouldn’t want to spend money to downgrade. Does “sound decent” mean “my new setup” or “new useful alternative”? I would visually check your videos but I’m traveling rn. 😅

hynek,
@hynek@mastodon.social avatar

@fasterthanlime I was confused for a long time but then I realized it’s probably s/now/not/. These two words shouldn’t be so easy to mistype against each other!

Fed up with #macOS' #Spotlight. No fuzzyfinder, in 2024; no real drilldown; the way it organizes/sorts results are unintuitive. I shouldn't have to remember what /format/ a document is to go "oh right I oughtta scroll down a bunch to see PDFs” 😩

What's good for alternative launcher/finder tools these days? AFAIK, it's still down to the same candidates from ~10ya, ie #Alfred, #Quicksilver, #Launchbar? (EDIT: Raycast enters the chat! Tho its AI focus is worrying.)

See poll!

@bitprophet Raycast was webshit last time I checked FYI

@offby1 @mpirnat @bitprophet Given the state of GH web UI, I’m not surprised its authors have a penchant for janky webshit. 🥁
