    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&amp;#39;re willing to share how you did the YouTube support in the latest Reeder? I&amp;#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&amp;#39;s neat.

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

    Thinking about how Amazon used to just be a bookstore, for no reason in particular.

    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&amp;#39;d consider updating the RSS feed on your website with the same stuff you post here? I&amp;#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&amp;#39;t been updated in a couple of years and seems to only include one image per post, vs the multiple you share here.

    Thanks Hyatt.

    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&amp;#39;m seeing a ton of weird #swiftui ui bugs in iPad simulators that don&amp;#39;t exist in the iPhone simulators. Is this a known thing? I still can&amp;#39;t tell if this is a me problem. Scrolling doesn&amp;#39;t work in many ScrollViews. Taps in toolbar items go through to the content behind them. Some taps don&amp;#39;t even make it to the toolbar. If I restart my computer, this doesn&amp;#39;t happen, but then after a few interactions it starts. I don&amp;#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&amp;#39;s a bunch of designs of RSS logos. It&amp;#39;s nigh in possible to google anything about Dribbble itself.

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

    I think it’s about time someone choreographs figure skating to blink182.

    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&amp;#39;s work on SQLiteData) and I&amp;#39;m very close to deciding I don&amp;#39;t need a Mac version of the app.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@cameronmcefee/114452651990979340 I&amp;#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&amp;#39;ve wanted. They are out of sight until needed, they&amp;#39;re obnoxious when they go off, and one I didn&amp;#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.
