Well just arrived at the chemo unit for my first treatment. Hopefully it all goes well

@pilky you’ve got this.

My surgeon has said they'd like to send me home from the hospital tomorrow (after 24 days), and I know I'm going to be even more exhausted once I'm home, but I am looking forward to it so very much.

@danielpunkass thanks ☺️ it's not my first time going through this surgery (it happened about 10 years ago as well), but it was a lot easier to cope with before I had kids. I miss them so damned much right now.

Day 18 of living in a hospital. I’m well enough to drag myself to random spots around the hospital to sit and rest, which is an absolute godsend.

@huwr Leah brings me clean underwear and cheer every day. Probably not as cool as fancy stuff, but quite necessary.

My parents also visit every single day, and one of my high school mates drops through a few times each week.

our hot water system gave out today, just a couple of weeks after our garage door broke enough to require replacement.

@jelly a good friend had the same happen today! Tis the season for new hot water heaters ✨

The seals on my AirPods Pro gen 1 just tore. FML those were keeping me sane here in amongst everything that has been happening 🫣🫣

@dimsumthinking people watching in hospital feels wrong, otherwise I’d just lean back and enjoy that.

I’m too high on painkillers to use my phone right now. I keep accidentally long touching things, or falling asleep mid sentence 🫣😊

Made it through surgery - far bigger than I was hoping, but now the ball is back in my court to recover and get back to health.

Thanks for all of the kind words, you beautiful people!

Now, time to slap the PCA like nanna at the pokies 😂🎰

Surgery is happening imminently.

I don’t do seem to do things by halves.

tonyarnold, to random
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

Well, things haven’t gone quite according to plan: I’ll be in hospital until the weekend are a minimum. I’ve now got a PICC line into my heart, and a constant pressurised drain from my stomach back out through my nose - it’s super uncomfortable, but it has resolved the crippling pain.

If all goes well, I can just stay like this for a couple of days, and my body will heal. If not, surgery time.

I’m in good spirits, but I’d murder someone for a cold drink right now.

@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

Well, this is a new one: double obstructions, directly after one another. I’ll be in hospital where they have extremely good pain medication if anyone needs me.

1 hour until yet another interview with a company that I've had nothing but bad luck applying for, maybe this time I will succeed. The chosen soundtrack is Punk Rock For Kids Who Can't Skate by Destructo Disk and particularly the second track “I Wish I Was a Riot Grrrl” https://music.apple.com/au/album/punk-rocks-for-kids-who-cant-skate/1669199336

@Amy good luck! 🤞🏻

Man, the aesthetic of the Picard era ships just doesn’t quite do it for me.

Usually you expect technology to become more streamlined over time, but somehow in Star Trek, everything has become more angular.

Also, the way the next attached to the engineering hulls and also the way the engineering sections themselves look is not appealing.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@collin that ship has a peen. It makes me deeply uncomfortable.

I agree with @everything in his post on the forums: https://forums.swift.org/t/asyncstream-and-actors/70545/4

My take: Swift Concurrency has gone from being somewhat understandable to being really, really hard to apply and understand properly.

I get that we can stick with Swift 5 language mode, but none of us wants to do that.

I hope that WWDC brings some understandable instruction alongside improved tooling, because right now we're all reliant on @mattiem sharing what he has worked out (thanks Matt!).

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

That all being said, I'm really glad that people are sharing their woes, and their discoveries, and that members of the Swift team such as @holly are doing their best to help everyone understand.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem I will absolutely allow it! I'm in your debt for sharing your own journey here — it has helped me immensely.

I agree with your take.

I also strongly believe that the tooling, both through error messages, fixits and syntax highlighting/visuals should be providing a far richer experience to guide people through this period.

Remember the static analyser visualisations in earlier versions of Xcode? That, but for this.

Coming up on 10 years of working on Reveal, and I've come to the conclusion that my dream job would be working on user-visible parts of macOS, or on Xcode.

Gosh I wish Apple were more receptive to remote work.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@NeoNacho likely nothing, but I have a life here in Australia. More to the point, my kids and wife have a life here.

I've no issue with travelling for a job (I do that now), but relocating isn't something I'd put on my family just for my professional aspirations.

tonyarnold,
@tonyarnold@mastodon.social avatar

@bok I fear it's just a dream, mate. I'd love a shot at it, but Apple's full up of very smart people.

Being back on the build system team means I can finally enjoy my favorite pastime again: asking people to please attach build logs to their one sentence radars

@alan @NeoNacho thought crimes? Lame!

Build system crimes are where it is at.
