Coding speed is underrated

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@hboon as it should be. Talking fast doesn't make you a more effective communicator, yeah?

Same deal with how fast you type.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@hboon I don't disagree with what you've said in this follow up.

Sounds like pragmatism to me - find that middle ground between extremes 🥳

As much as I love Aussie Broadband I’ve decided to give Superloop a run. $99 for their 1000/50Mbit service is a pretty good deal.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@chrismcelligott I think their mobile service is Telstra Wholesale as well, but they're only providing 5G on the higher plans. I need to give them a call and ask some questions.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@chrismcelligott I'm keen to hear your experiences. I've heard the usual problems with their support having an overseas call centre, but if the service is as good as ABB, the price difference more than makes up for that.

My ol’ series 6 wants to run watchOS 10, but feeling like it also wants to go into retirement.

@ioloro I'm running watchOS 10 on a Series 4. It’s… fine?

Nice to see they unwound the bad Klingon design from Discovery in SNW season 2. Also I love Nurse Chapel.

@tylernol the Klingon redesign was mostly unwound within Discovery by season 2.

Hoping SwiftUI's new focus mechanism can take the place of the sorely missed (and sorely misunderstood) responder chain. Will find out.

@schwa the focus cookbook session had me nodding and grinning the whole way through. I think we’re there this year on macOS! https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10162

@schwa argh! I can't raise my minimum deployment targets yet to use it in anger. If you’ve got time/inclination to share it, I'll happily dupe any feedback you file about the bits that aren't working.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@schwa I can get behind just enjoying life, and not doing unpaid bug reporting 😉

I don't know why but I get a very large amount of satisfaction from a Swift switch/Rust match statement that could've been a bunch of nested if-else checks.

@stevestreza afaik, they’re faster, too!

I love my kids, but some universal goblin set our parenting experience to hardcore mode and there's no option to set it to anything else.

Being a parent to ND kids means never really having proper downtime, nor celebrating things like birthdays in the ways that are meaningful to you.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

And I feel like as a parent, I'm not supposed to talk about how hard parenting ND kids is, lest I upset or insult ND people at large.

    I so wish to meet the Product Manager of Developer.app, in the fantasy world they live in, so that I can understand why they get so wrong what a stereotypical user of this app wants out of it.
    Because I'm baffled. I cannot comprehend it. I have no answers.

    tonyarnold,
    @tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

    @layoutSubviews yeah, it’s crazy inconvenient to use for watching session videos. There’s no online filtering, the video player still has weird ideas about how big I would like it to be (small, full screen or an intrusive overlay).

    I’d love to augment it.

    Reassuring myself that Apple often includes major announcements in the Platforms State of the Union, and hoping they'll have SOMETHING to say in the AI realm.

    tonyarnold,
    @tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

    @danielpunkass seems like a big oversight if there’s nothing at all.

    tonyarnold,
    @tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

    @danielpunkass we don’t have AI, though? Apple seem to be being very careful and accurate with their wording, unlike the rest of the tech community who are conflating LLMs and ML with actual intelligence.

    I did it.

    @layoutSubviews do you feel fulfilled?

    Why don’t we say Wubba Lubba Dub Dub at WWDC? 🤔

    tonyarnold,
    @tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

    @daniel I mean… I thought we do?

    tonyarnold, to random

    Okay, now I'm excited.

    Can I just sleep til dub dub? That'll make it happen faster, right?

    @stevestreza night before Christmas vibes 🎉😊 I freaking love the excitement around dub dub.

    Not a cracking pace, but we did think we’d make the first bus back until we were about half way around Uluṟu.

    Spoiler: we did not make the first bus. Ended up walking down to the cultural centre, which was sadly being refurbished, so very little was open.

    I've been pretty quiet this week, but I do want to take the time to say that the new APIs and features announced at WWDC this year are wonderful!

    SwiftData is exactly what I've been hoping for for the last decade, and the quality of life improvements in Xcode 15 are all so, so welcome.

    Brilliant work - you should all be so proud 🥳

    Okay, which one of you at Apple was this? I am challenging you to sumo suits at dawn for the use of "Insights" as a name in this context 🫠

    Having a lovely wintry afternoon debugging and testing a major update to Reveal's account portal. I ported it to Vapor 4 last year, but ran out of time to test it properly and deploy it to production — but now we need that update for some upcoming work, so I'm knee deep in server code and loving it 🥳
