  • Anyone have a ELI5 link on how to use Komondor with SPM? Trying to get to the point of setting up SwiftLint, Danger Swift, etc in a new iOS 13 project per this article on Artsy’s blog, but feeling pretty lost: artsy.github.io/blog/2019…

  • No, YOU walked all the way to the gym just to find out it’s closed for Canada Day.

    (I mean, at least walking the 4.5km is some kind of exercise)

  • Oh right, race weekend. It’s about 10km from my place to the track as the crow flies, and I can still hear the engines.

  • 🔗 Polar Explorer Erling Kagge on Why Walking is the Key to Being More Productive - GQ

    “The secret to walking to the South Pole is to put one foot in front of the other, and to do this enough times,” writes Erling Kagge in his 2017 book Silence.

  • So am I the only one that was getting frustrated going through Apple’s “Landmarks” tutorial on SwiftUI because they couldn’t find the canvas, only to discover you need to be on the Catalina beta for that feature in Xcode 11?

  • As we’re now one week away from WWDC and its adjacent conferences, what’s the top conference self-care tip you’d want to share with your community?

  • I just realized that iTunes will generate HTML for embedding into a web page from its “Share > Copy Embed Code” option. Super easy to then dump it into a @glitch app for sharing, like this: https://glitch.com/~sixth-match

  • On today’s morning walk, I saw:

    • a sleeping duck
    • a sneaky cardinal
    • a floppy-eared Basset hound

    Also a chickadee gave me a bit of a talking-to (sorry for upsetting you, chickadee), and a fluffy doggo gave me a big goofy smile.

    So, I think it’s gonna be a good day.

  • In episode 6 of Make Before Break, Frank and I discuss the struggle in balancing full-time work and side projects. How can we keep our side projects from falling by the wayside or from taking our time and energy away from other important parts of our lives?

  • Daily routine:

    1. Note that macOS notifications are coming up disabled
    2. Launch Activity Monitor
    3. Force-quit the Notification Center process

    sigh

  • I’m very intrigued by the process by which a potted plant of basil goes bad within 45 minutes of leaving the supermarket.

  • Glitch is looking for another solutions engineer to join the team — if you have any questions about the role, I’m happy to chat. 🙂

  • Episode 4 of Make Before Break is out!

    Fashionably late annual retrospectives. I learned a lot about what Jocelyn K. Glei calls “tender discipline” — that a healthy productivity system is less about curating to-do lists, and more about self-care.

  • Episode 3 of Make Before Break is out, and we talk about working preferences, communication, the toxicity of cynicism, and gratitude as a company value.

    Also, yyyy-MM-dd is the one date format to rule them all.

  • Episode 2 of Make Before Break is out and less ramble-y than Episode 1 — though IMO we only really hit our stride with Episode 3.

  • So, @frankacy and I launched a podcast. Here’s episode 1, where we talk about friction: www.makebeforebreak.com/s01e01

  • We woke up to 14” of snow on Wednesday. In my neighbourhood, it’s still piled up on the sides of the road, four days later. That feels a bit… long.

  • I added some custom CSS to my microblog so that it better matches my personal site. If you want to play around with it yourself, I’ve shared it as a Glitch project (details in the README): glitch.com/~microblo…
