The Education Connection commercial was way ahead of its time.

So I watched Firefly. Then Serenity was playing in theaters here in San Diego this past Monday and … man what a series. I understand why it’s so beloved.

The double tap feature on Apple Watch, which is clearly inspired by the Assistive Touch feature, is another example of how accessible design benefits everyone.

I went to open Calendar using Spotlight and accidentally typed “cal” into terminal. That’s how I found out you have a calendar built into terminal! 🤯

Does anyone have any examples of Swift programs written in a functional way? Every time I look up “functional programming in Swift” I just get filter, map, and reduce examples. I want to see apps or tools written using this paradigm, not methods on collections.

Would it be weird to use Git to track changes on your DnD character sheet. That way you have a history of your character as they’ve changed during the game. AND you could use Git branches for parallel adventures? Git tags for level ups? Is this too much? #dnd #git #dev

Yahoo finance came in hard this morning. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to retire. Seriously.

My goal in life is to code my way to a place where I can afford a home, retire, and let my inner Jeff Goldblum finally be free.

We really need to get away from the idea that higher education is supposed to be job training.

With the knowledge that this year has been the hottest on record. There’s a very real chance that El Niño will make 2024 hot enough to start destroying global crops. It’s not just sriracha that will have a shortage next year.

When coding in Swift try starting with a protocol rather than starting with a class. Protocol-oriented programming is a very cool way of thinking about functionality.

YouTube has done such a great job lately at recommending me great smaller channels with less than 20k subs. Theres a lot of passion and creativity in smaller creators as well as a bit of charm that’s very refreshing.

I would love to learn how to play Magic but every time I get that urge and think “I’ll look up a YouTube video and get some basics in” I’m bombarded by card pulling videos and people talking about how much cards are worth. Can I just play the game, man?

@elonmusk when you said “cisgender is a slur” did you mean “I don’t know what I’m talking about” or “I can’t handle people with ideas even a little bit different from my own”? Your language was a little ambiguous.

I’ve read and learned more about material science and material engineering as it relates to submersibles this past week than I ever thought I would learn. I’m obsessed.
