I signed up to Bluesky the first day you could, a millennia ago, and I still haven't received an invitation to check out what all the fuss (I haven't heard any fuss for a while) is about.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@ryanbooker it's all just shitposting, and dumping on Mastodon. There's no "real" content being produced over there.

Anyone have a better button label than Manage? It’s to allow users to manually map data in the migration if it fails to do so automatically.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@aaron_pearce customize? It’s something most users won’t want to do, yeah? Customize infers work.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@aaron_pearce yeah, part of the flow + a “Mappings” button might work?

It’s so weird that Slack, nominally a productivity app, has so many engagement hacks like a blue dot that won’t go away notifying me about the graveyard of Slack organizations I’ve had to access once or twice before.

@mergesort tiny little nuggets of an impending enshittification.

I can’t use my Mac in dark mode. I can’t read the text, I can’t determine window focus.
The meme about not being a real developer because I use light mode is so hack and can get to fuck.

tonyarnold,

@RobW it's bogus visual preference as gatekeeping. Ignore it.

Over the years, I have occasionally this urge to join a company, fix one or two annoying things with their product and leave…

What faceless, cashed up group of company lobby groups are pushing the “hybrid > remote work” message in the media right now? It's coming from everywhere.

I thought we were past this bullshit?

open -g -a brings Slack and Signal to the foreground not Discord. So it's not Electron?

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@hboon pop open the bundle - it's still Electron.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@hboon this would definitely depend on the app. Electron used to have a pretty busted, naive implementation of bringing an app to the front. I think they fixed it a while back, but I honestly haven't checked in a couple of years.

macOS isn't great at stopping poor implementations from taking control, either.

I'd be a lot more into Swift macros if they didn't have to be defined in an external module (which itself depends on the external SwiftSyntax module).

To anyone used to ecosystems where apps routinely import hundreds of 3rd party packages, this probably sounds insane, but after years as an iOS dev without any sort of standard package manager, I've really come to value code having no dependencies outside of what ships with the platform.

Swift macros feel no more more "built-in" than Sourcery.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@NeoNacho @nicklockwood providing binary releases of SwiftSyntax on GitHub for SPM might help, too?

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'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.

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.

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

@mattro I’m just home now - not sure I could have done that without Valium 😅 There was a lot of rooting around inside my eyeball after the laser had done its job.

Now everything is scratchy and blurry, but I can already see better than I could without glasses 🤩

tonyarnold,

@mattro oh that’s great advice! Thanks!

I'm in Seattle for 4 days and instead of doing anything interesting here (as if there's anything to do here that's interesting anyways) I'm going to try and build a mac app to help make using Swift macros a lot easier.

@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@schwa @unsaturated @nesevis and I had some good performance wins by caching the hashes of our list items - might be worth a try if you’re not already doing it?
