So, Apple’s becoming more like Google (ads in Apple Maps) just as Google is becoming more like Apple (restrictions on side loading in Android). I’m all for cross-pollination but I wish they didn’t pick each other’s bad ideas.

It sucks being ill, but it helps when the weather’s discouraging you from doing things you’d normally do when you’re well. ⛈️

Bought an umbrella a while ago that I really liked. I packed it for a walk one day, didn’t unpack it when I came home, completely forgot about it, thought I lost it, and went to buy a replacement. A couple of months ago I found it again. Now I have two umbrellas I really like.

Never ceases to amaze me the arbitrary limits AWS puts on its resources. For example, I just learnt that the total size of a Lambda’s environment variables cannot exceed 4 KB. I mean, I’m not asking for gigabytes here, but 4 KB? Are they storing these on non-HD floppies?

Making apps shouldn’t involve needing to make business models. It should be akin to making bread. Sure you can open a bakery, but those providing the dough shouldn’t prevent you from making bread for yourself.

I’m pretty much all in on Inkwell that I’m considering ending my Feedbin subscription. The only thing that’s keeping me there is NetNewsWire sync support, but I imagine it won’t be too long before Inkwell support is released.

Bumped the Hugo version to 0.158. If you’re reading this, then it worked. Unfortunately I had to turn off a few plugins to get it working. Please Hugo, settle on an template structure and stick with it.

Note to self: when reaching out to someone you don’t know, make sure to get their name right. There’s a lot of noise out there, and if you don’t get this simple thing right, you’ll be categorised as such.

Why is Hugo deadset against rendering raw, “unsafe” HTML? Look, I know this is a good default to settle on for sites where you host content written by others. But the whole point of using Hugo is to serve HTML that you yourself write. The person using Hugo owns the site the HTML is coming from.

It probably comes as no surprise that I absolutely loved the topic in ATP #683 of how Marco built out the infrastructure for Overcast transcriptions.

Worried about putting stock sound effects in your game? Well, I learnt the other day that many of the sounds in the original version of Doom were from stock sound effects. So if one of the critically acclaimed games of all time do it, I think it’d be fine for your game too.

Was hoping to leave work thinking we were on top of everything. Ended up leaving work being aware of a major issue that needs to be delt with in the next day or two. Argh! Well, I guess it’s better knowing about it now before we release it.

Full train coming into the city this morning. Might be a fluke, but with petrol prices being high and public transport being free for a month, might not be. I guess we’ll see tomorrow.

Just a reminder that coding agents have their uses beyond generating code. I used Claude today to give a once over for how a field is being used. This is not something that you’ll get from PRs: no one’s going to look at the code you didn’t change. And it’s probably not going to give me perfect coverage, but...

Best sign to stand next to on a packed tram arriving at a packed stop. 😛
