It’s always fun hearing about your creative workarounds for Delta. Congrats on the launch, @rileytestut!

I minorly contributed to this initiative while at Spotify—I’m glad it’s finally released: timetoplayfair.com/timeline/

The Apple Watch is the only development platform I’ve used where it takes hours to attach a debugger on the latest hardware and software.

A fun web app I built on why you can say abso-flippin-lutely but not ab-flippin-solutely: infixer.app

Spending the last day trying to get USB Bluetooth virtualization and Linux working on a 2017 tbMBP makes me regret downgrading from a 2013 MBP last week. I’d rather go back to 1hr clean+build times than deal with this monstrosity.

Wrote a post on the thing I built which blocks the majority of spam callers using speech recognition and call forwarding. andrewchidden.com/defeating-spam…

Started getting multiple spam phone calls per day, so I spent today writing a “CAPTCHA” for calls. You supply a verification question and answer (eg what is my name :: Andrew) and it blocks pretty much all spammers. Free and works over cell service. Might write a blog post later.

10 hours later... apparently not explicitly setting CFBundleDisplayName (even without localization) in iOS 11 == broken Core Location.

Core Location in the watchOS 4.2 SDK is a horribly broken mess. Simulator doesn’t work and the permissions prompt always defaults to the phone (or sometimes decides to not show up at all…)

@appwatchcast I have no comparison. But it seems to me very instabil. BTW I do not believe that Apple will fix that and the other frameworks with bgr.
