I build backends, apps and sometimes break them, practice martial arts and enjoy video games. I believe I have seen the whole Internet once, maybe twice.
The new iPads look like a pretty good upgrade, especially the display. But we are five or six years in and Apple still refuses to fix the software side to make them actually useful but for some niche application :/
If they’d announce macOS support at WWDC you could count the minutes between the announcement and me ordering one with the new keyboard case…
I have to give simone a test run some day. It seems to be the ultimate “this video should have been a blog post” tool :D https://github.com/rajtilakjee/simone
I finally figured out why I don’t like the last Doom games. It’s not necessarily the lack of ammo but the glory kills slowing down gameplay. That took me a while to realize… #games#gaming
TIL - how FingerprintJS works around Safaris audio fingerprinting protection, Gos improved http request routing in 1.22 and Bitcask, something I once implemented but didn't think about in a long time. Luckily I found the paper again :)
When you sneak one point for the Tumblr armchair lawyer crowd into the FAQ. Still up for discussion if it makes it in the final copy, but I have a strong feeling it will.
We got half a cake from my mum yesterday and @Airmed mentioned that my mum went a bit heavy on the rum flavour.
My mum is contemplating if she should be insulted.
I quote “As if I’d ever bake with rum flavour. I soaked the raisins for half a day in rum. That’s how you bake a proper cake! Your wife should know that by now!”
JetBrains decided the AI plugin will be unbundled with the next release. At least some good news considering the whole mess, but I’m really curious how much trust and customers they lost in the process. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-1973
I really liked Google’s “woven” case for the Pixel 3. So I thought I give Apples a shot.
I need a case for the gym, the music selection is beyond offensive for working out at this point.
The material feels good.
The camera bump is insanely annoying. Just make something flat for once FFS.
It might not age as well as Google’s.
Finally got around to add a notes section to my blog to post links with a short comment, drafts I won't finish and other random things not really worth making it to the main feed.
When “SEO consultants” spam me on LinkedIn to help me grow my business by optimizing my site I usually respond with a copy and paste response asking for a meeting on February 31st. This usually shuts them up.
One of them send me three follow ups apologizing for not getting an invite to me and explaining they send multiple requests to their IT team that their calendar seems broken as it won’t let them schedule on February 31st.
The number of time of me picking up my #steamdeck and the battery being empty because it wasn’t connected to a charger for a few days is higher than me picking it up and just playing a game. And if I happen to have it docked it obviously has to update games first.
I really want to love the Deck, but that seems reserved for v2 or v3. It’s a neat device I enjoy having around. But lots of small things accumulate.
Sometimes it is fascinating to see marketing work in the real world.
A coach in my gym switched from Samsung to an iPhone. He’s more comfortable with #android and not too fond of #ios and it’s his only Apple device.
But he was advised to switch to an iPhone by colleagues because “it has the better camera”. (Questionable?)
Which will be used for selfies in a bathroom mirror. For video production and marketing shots he uses a proper DSLR cam like most folks in the fitness industry.
Trying to figure out how to best make a Django app respond to the finger protocol. I’m not sure how deep down the rabbit hole I want to go before spinning up a small, separate service.
