Tomorrow @mikaelacaron and I are recording the next episode of @swiftovercoffee! We'd love to have your opinion for our next open ballot: do developers also need to be designers? Reply here with your view and we'll read out our favorites!

@twostraws @mikaelacaron @swiftovercoffee A developer should study designs that work; that is part of the job. One choice is the list versus hierarchy; humans will tolerate long lists where they are sure to find the answer. Hierarchies are hard to discover. Apple Fitness Awards section was becoming a too-long list. Their IOS17 iPhone version is beautiful, but clearly used a designer to get this level of polish. You must be aware of frustrating hierarchiesโ€”do not implement.

Apple Watch first went on sale 9 years ago today. โŒš๏ธ

Iโ€™m going for 3250 days of hitting my Move goal. #AppleWatch
2 days until my next virtual enamel; 4 watches including day one order. The link watchband is still one of my favorite Apple products.

Serious question: how do you understand what's the error in a C program? So far I've only ever got crashes, isn't there ever any feedback what went wrong?

stevehume,
@stevehume@mastodon.social avatar

@icanzilb You remind me of the early days on a PDP8. No IDE. Sprinkle in some printf statements and see how far the code gets; then sprinkle in some new ones. Then printf all the variables of interest to figure out the bug.

@jsq I did a two-finger long-press on the ALT tag in the photo using ice cubes app to view the full description.

Woof, what a great idea to open that GDPR cookie jar with an off-the-cuff post while half awake at 5am ๐Ÿคฃ

stevehume,
@stevehume@mastodon.social avatar

@finestructure Yes. I was looking for the follow-up where you revealed the code for non malicious compliance to GDPR cookies that would make you rich; I realized that I would not find it. A simple example of at least allowing a saved cookie that refuses data collection but can save a cookie to remember that refusal.

Once you discover Japanese stationery, itโ€™s very hard to ever go back.

@stevehume@mastodon.social avatar

@twostraws I am locked into Blackwing pencils. They are in California and you could get some while at WWDC. Otherwise +1 on the Japanese excellence.

It is a bit unfortunate that one can't backup to and restore a database from a byte buffer. Otherwise one could also use it to send serialized data over the network ๐Ÿ™ˆ

stevehume,
@stevehume@mastodon.social avatar

@finestructure @helge @inthehands Iโ€™m still not sure why you need it in a buffer but the litestream.io site has remote use of the backup API. Written in Go but has a MacOS brew available.

I'm having an "I want to throw my Mac out of the window" kind of day. I hope yours is going better ๐Ÿ˜…

@twostraws I did lose 1 hour this week with simulators that refused to start. It required, in addition to the XCode derived data incantation, a System Settings>General>About>storage settings>Developer(info)XCode Caches(click/highlight)>Deleteโ€ฆ(plus confirm sheet) spell. Thank you StackOverflow

My Apple watch just gave me the 10 minutes to the hour โ€œTime to stand!โ€ notification, which Iโ€™ll interpret as โ€œYou absolute ninja managed to make coffee and breakfast a moment ago without me noticing, hereโ€™s my badge of approval, use your powers responsiblyโ€.

@finestructure I celebrate this event by dropping my watch arm beside my chair while I doom scroll and drink my coffee with the other arm for a minute. Apple Watch gives me a nice haptic reward for that skill too.

I found that crushing scene disturbing ๐Ÿ˜ณ

stevehume,
@stevehume@mastodon.social avatar

@finestructure it might make sense if the fine print at the video end includes that that whole scene render was done on iPad!

@stevehume@mastodon.social avatar

@finestructure you are right; even if you had to squish some emojis to make the product, it is not pleasant to see it. Like the saying that you donโ€™t want to necessarily see the sausage factory video, but still enjoy the final product.
