Good morning. Recharge your happiness today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Let’s see if I can download the new xcode…

I feel like I’ve been working all day. I need a vacation. #wwdc

Hm. Sessions start at 9AM tomorrow? I guess no work on the app. #wwdc

Do people still play board-games with their family? On a real physical board (not wood) and not virtual/digital app? #gaming

One thing static analyzers don’t give me (that I want) is a cross ref of all functions and their calls/called with an explicit list of items that are dead and not used/called. #swift #compiler

Stupidity and not wanting to die don’t go together unless evolution favors the survivors, in which case there will be a lot of stupid people. #life #failure #evolution

Listening to two truckers talk about the bio-engineered mosquitoes that were released in FL (the mosquitoes, not the engineers). #writing #character

“The babies frolicked in the bath water, unaware they had all had a hand in soiling it and would soon be thrown out.” #writing #throwawayline .~

Takeaways from Keynote: Lots of evolution, very little revolution. There will be code changes. There will be some minor re-architecting required. I didn’t get everything I wanted i didn’t get everything I expected (much smaller set than what I wanted). #wwdc

“The dead don’t dance.” “You obviously haven’t been to a rave.” #writing #throwawayline

Apart from the syntax, the Apple await/async model feels similar to the stuff Tandem/HPE NonStop uses/used in TAL. Nice and straight-forward. Simple syntax. Bit of a bear for 1st time concurrency learners, however. #wwdc

The #iPadOS drop down menu. I hope we get that in #SwiftUI #wwdc

I’m enjoying the virtual #wwdc. it’s cheaper I don’t have to fly no standing in line for the restrooms I’m not enjoying the virtual #wwdc no person-to-person no CA seafood no live concert no “free” snacks

I’m going to keep plugging away at working on exporting stuff until the SwiftUI sessions come around so I can learn to deal with attributed text. #wwdc

“Harrod’s be thy name.” - British prayer. #writing #throwawayline

I don’t see any Combine sessions/updates. Am I missing something? #wwdc

Some people like debating without thinking through what they are putting forth. I think that’s called “trolling”. I don’t block/mute many but when I do, I have just cause. That’s cause-and-effect; it’s not free will. .~

“When life shows you your mistakes, take time to watch and learn.” #life

“Her hands were worn on her wrists.” #writing #throwawayline

“Life is a clear and present danger.” #life #writing

Overheard: “My parents and grandparents had a chicken coop.” Me thinks: “Couldn’t they afford a house? Or did you mean a chicken coupe?” #writing #throwawayline

I am somewhat surprised UIKit is still a thing. #wwdc

Universal Control is dang cool. #wwdc

Visions - #writing

“The burning sun beat down on him the way the gang with the chains and knives had. He lay in the alley in a pool of his own blood, urine, and vomit. Now, he understood why people saw visions in the desert. They were as close to dying as he was. Some saw God. Some saw water. Some saw women. He saw …
