I’m really hoping that SwiftUI is more baked this WWDC. For every app I can think of it’s just not ready. There’s either missing APIs or when you start to do anything outside the path of a demo app you hit bugs that need difficult or impossible workarounds.

My son has been getting into “Who Would Win” books where they compare the characteristics of animals and then put them into a mock fight. I’m so tempted to write a simulation model. The books do one to one, but I’d love to test 1000 hornets versus a T-Rex.

Googling whether or not you can get Apple TV on the 3rd generation Apple TV is… not possible.

“We’re creating the entire amount of commerce on the store, and we’re doing that by focusing on getting the largest audience there,” says Cook.

This quote is indefensible and infuriating. The entitlement is going to be ringing in the ears of every developer watching WWDC.

Finished 📚 Back in the Frame: A great read about the joys of getting back on a bike as an adult. I learned a lot from the way that Jools describes the feeling of being a black woman in white-male dominated cycling. And Jools’ love of cycling is contagious. 🚲

My five-year-old: “I learned from YouTube that all the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are girls, and so now I don’t even have to learn that from school!” 🦖

I’m glad Twitter now seems to have a functioning product department that is willing to try new things. But, it hurts that the concequence of their long product drought was that they shuttered Vine. They didn’t just sunset a product, they sunset a community.

I managed to get my hosted micro.blog backed by a CloudFront CDN (with some hacky use of Hugo’s replace function). Next step: something to resize these enormous images.

I’m setting up a CDN and my son is asking me to buy him a T-Rex toy. It’s weirding me out that I’m doing both things at the same time from the same company.

That’s an ambitious exclamation mark. It’s like they think you’ll be genuinely excited about being tracked.

For the record, I didn’t even know my grocery store app had ads.

I kind of love that Trump has a blog. I’m unlikely to spend time reading it, but I hope this encourages more people to consider creating an internet garden of their own. I’m curious how long it takes him to stretch out beyond 280 characters.

Today’s nugget of knowledge from my 5-year-old: “Holes in a car, not so bad. Holes in a boat, VERY bad.”

Tried Lightlife’s Facon. Surprisingly crispy and delicious. I kind of missed having something with crunch in a breakfast sandwich.

“They just want to build cool shit all day,” the employee said. “They don’t want to deal with people…”

Casey Newton has some killer reporting on the whole Basecamp debacle.

People just aren’t well equipped to understand the complexities of ad tracking. Especially when companies are forced to try to explain their usage in a paragraph.

I’m really sad to see Basecamp go in this direction. I admire a lot of people who work there and the work they did. But the people who are leaving are doing the right thing, as painful as it is, and I’d like to believe I’d have the courage to do the same.

I bought an AirTag to put in my backpack, but I’ve lost my backpack to put the AirTag in…

Potato, garlic, onion. Trying 62% hydration over a 8 hour room temp rise. It’s a bit harder to deal with but I like the 62% much better than the 60% for squooshy Neapolitan crust.

Seems nuts that you can engrave a cow onto an AirTag but not a bike.
