Cooking is a big part of my steez (I cook most days, most meals). While a lot of people tend to show off their own recipes, I love following other people’s #recipes. I think I’m going to make more of an effort to share what I’m cooking, if that’s your thing.

@rizzi Any chance you&#39;re willing to share how you did the YouTube support in the latest Reeder? I&#39;d like to add YouTube support to my app but am struggling to figure out a reliable solution.

@pointfreeco What is the upgrade path for The Point Free Way? Does it update automatically somehow?

Statistically, I spend more time in CI fixing failures due to upstream changes than mistakes in my code.

I’ve been building an app for the last year. It’s not the one I thought I was going to build, but I realized one day I’d gone so far, it’d be a waste not to see it through. It’s finally in a good enough state that I think I can share the beta with other folks so I can really learn where the rough edges are. Introducing LightWatch, a visual RSS watcher. It’s your feeds, but just the images and videos. https://getlightwatch.app

TIL If you take a screenshot in mobile safari, it gives you the option to screenshot the *entire* page. That&#39;s neat.

In honor of Deep Dish Swift and the first year I&#39;m participating with an app of my own, I&#39;ve made it easy for you to follow your pizza in LightWatch. There&#39;s now a lightly curated pizza themed feed to get you started. https://getlightwatch.app/for/pizza

Ok, I’ve figured out a conference talk to give. Now I just need 43 minutes of stuff to say between the two jokes I came up with.

The most effective security training I’ve ever seen was a GitHub security engineer who quietly traveled between unlocked, unattended laptops at a company all-hands, posting the phrase “poopin” to the owner’s Twitter account. A whole company educated forever in 48 hours. Mythos sounds scary but imagine a sanctioned, corporate white hat phishing agent with a similarly benign payload. Everyone would stay on their does, *knowing* it was coming for them.

After listening to my elementary school aged children talk for approximately 3 minutes, I’m thinking that putting VC money into a urinalysis device called iCup is going to be a sure fire windfall.

@ObsidianUrbex I just discovered your account and your work is awesome. Any chance you&#39;d consider updating the RSS feed on your website with the same stuff you post here? I&#39;m building an app for following visual-focused RSS feeds (https://getlightwatch.app/) and while Mastodon RSS works fine, your dedicated RSS would be more ideal. However, it hasn&#39;t been updated in a couple of years and seems to only include one image per post, vs the multiple you share here.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cameronmcefee/115828438541407119 I guess this was just me learning. I’ve looked at a lot of sitemaps in the last month and this is actually pretty common. I guess if you want Google to find stuff it does make sense to be comprehensive. It just seems nuts to me.

I enjoy considering digital life in the context of physical life. *person with their eyes closed says something inane out loud to no one in particular* *someone gives a thumbs up without looking over* *someone standing behind them looks at their friends with a “this fuckin guy” expression, then plugs their ears and turns around* *someone responds with a personal anecdote that isn’t related but overlaps by one word but sounds more impressive* *the original person is now on the toilet*

I&#39;m seeing a ton of weird #swiftui ui bugs in iPad simulators that don&#39;t exist in the iPhone simulators. Is this a known thing? I still can&#39;t tell if this is a me problem. Scrolling doesn&#39;t work in many ScrollViews. Taps in toolbar items go through to the content behind them. Some taps don&#39;t even make it to the toolbar. If I restart my computer, this doesn&#39;t happen, but then after a few interactions it starts. I don&#39;t see this behavior on...

I find it funny how *impossible* it is to search for any Dribbble meta content. Want to contact Dribbble support? Here are a whole bunch of designs of support pages. Want to see if Dribbble has RSS feeds? Here&#39;s a bunch of designs of RSS logos. It&#39;s nigh in possible to google anything about Dribbble itself.

Playing with the PointFree Way skill today is like doing a &quot;what have we been doing wrong this whole time&quot; audit. This is cathartic.

Last week I started two large projects: Cleaning up the largely ignored Mac part of my multiplatform app and adding iCloud sync with SQLiteData. I now have iCloud syncing beautifully with very little effort (thanks to PointFree&#39;s work on SQLiteData) and I&#39;m very close to deciding I don&#39;t need a Mac version of the app.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cameronmcefee/114452651990979340 I&#39;m still trying to get the hang of urgent reminders flow, and the lack of siri/shortcut support is annoying, but overall, this is exactly the feature I&#39;ve wanted. They are out of sight until needed, they&#39;re obnoxious when they go off, and one I didn&#39;t expect: the stay on the lock screen until you deal with them. I love it.

It is wild that I can watch as my computer does a major architectural refactor — that would have taken weeks a few years ago — while I cook dinner, and merge it while I do the dishes. Absolutely wild.

TFW you are about quote Fitzgerald and you write his first name as Ezra and then remember that’s a character in the YA drama Pretty Little Liars.
