Something I haven’t seen offered for the Apple “Scary Fast” event: the new whole-console CarPlay they showed off last year.
Another possibility: F1 on Apple TV. 🏎️
Said goodbye to our dog Toby yesterday. We’ve had him since he was 3 months old, and he’s literally grown alongside us for the last 13 years. The weirdest, strangest, goodest boy. May he rest in peace.
Nothing like a Sunday afternoon at the emergency vet, but when your normally lethargic dog can’t lie still because of the pain, you go.
Nothing like getting an alert and seeing that whoever set it up set the threshold level to 9000…
Anyone know of an end-user friendly cross-platform/cross-browser guide to installing a web app?
Google has plenty of guides… for Chrome. And MDN doesn’t get into the details (and isn’t updated for macOS Sonoma yet).
My old coworker Lax has been on his own journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, and he’s written a post summarizing what he’s learned so far. Having seen his growth is inspiring.

I’ve got a poll running on my Mastodon asking how people are getting long form content these days. Would love your input.
So I thought the Toy Story Funday Football was gonna be a fun gimmick, but…
It’s a tech demo. And not a good one at that. There’s some fun ideas here, but the real-time animation is just Not There Yet. Unknown players, bad ball spotting, wonky camera; like watching a Let’s Play of Sonic 2006.
"That’s How We’re Gonna Win: Not Fighting What We Hate, Saving What We Love."
With that in mind, what do we love about social media?
Follow-up to a previous question: the WGA tightened their rules for talk shows after 2008:
"…“writing” could mean anything from scripting a monologue to developing and researching questions for guests or putting those words on cue cards."

Trying to avoid having a “quick” manual process instead of building another setting panel or extra admin screen.
Another couple of hours now saves me:
The 5 min process
The 30 min context switch
The 10 min of support communication
Et Cetera
Every. Time.
TiPhone. To go with the TiBook I never had.
Genuine question: how is Drew Barrymore starting her show back without writers different from Conan, Colbert, and Stewart starting theirs back in 2008? I don’t remember them getting in trouble for strike breaking.
Hot take: “Don’t Fear the Reaper” actually does need more cowbell.

Been a fan of Cory Godbey for years and SUPER excited to see his work in the TCG world!
Based on Stratechery’s summary of the Disney-Spectrum dispute du jour, I’m actually pulling for Spectrum? To wit:
D: Pay us more.
S: Give us Disney+ where the good stuff is.
D: lol no
S: 😎
D: But we’ll turn off ESPN!
S: We’ll send them to YouTube ourselves.
D: But…
S: 😎

A Stupidly Simple PHP Dependency Injection Container https://oddevan.com/2023/08/31/a-stupidly-simple.html
TFW you type docker compose stop when offboarding a client.
I do not have all the time in the world, and my goals for Smolblog pretty much require it to be in PHP right now: it’s efficient, type-safe, well-supported, and a language I and many others know well.
But if I had time… I really wonder what it would look like as server-side Swift.
