Is the Magic Trackpad 2 the only pointing device that is fully supported in iPadOS 13,4? I’d love to take advantage of the support, but don’t want to spend $129...
Finally got around to trying Sidecar on macOS Catalina today. I am massively impressed. It works better for me than Luna Display!
In these dark times where none of us can go to the barber shop, its important that we remember the existence of Flowbee. – https://
If you’ve ever asked yourself why we should have a strong social safety net... *gestures around wildly*.
No, universal healthcare and basic income aren’t radical ideas. They’re essentials. This isn’t our first crisis, and it won’t be our last. Its time.
Now that you’ve understood that feeling of shared fear, stress, and uncertainty, I’d encourage you to consider your situation. Imagine if your safety nets disappeared – money, expensive education, family name, etc. How does that shape your behavior?
Today was a day, y’all. My goodness. We’ve got a long road ahead. Everyone is impacted. Your friends, family, neighors, and strangers. No one is exempt. Now is a good time to understand the true power of empathy – everyone is feeling the way you are. Does that give you comfort?
A new rug arrives for my office tomorrow, but we still need to sort through some boxes that are cluttering up the space, and I’d like to add some art to the walls. Still, its a nice start, and I’ve gotta say, I am enjoying the IKEA/Sonos speakers 🥰
If there’s one thing that this crisis has taught me, it’s that I don’t have enough sweatpants.
In these trying times, at least we get to enjoy streaming our Sunday morning worship services from the most tech-savvy church staff member’s iPhone on Facebook.
Since I’ll be working from home exclusively for a bit, it was a good time to upgrade the office. Ordered a new desk, lamp, and more from IKEA. That’ll make a nice weekend project to keep me occupied!
In the last two days, I’ve written some JavaScript to help a UX colleague and then built a custom Chrome Extension to solve a problem for a different set of colleagues. Being a technologist is fun when you use your skills to help others :D
Our leadership team at work has been having very frank, careful discussions about the coronavirus. It’s good to be a part of a team that values our people, and embraces a distributed workforce. Empowering the team to make wise decisions
It happened: I finally moved completely over to NeoVim, with vim-plug and friends. Its a brave new world, folks.
Instead of calling it the Democratic Presidential Debate, let’s just call it The Comedy Central Roast of Michael Bloomberg.
If I could only have one of those two? I'd take sideloading. I am all for Apple policing its own store, but leave room for devs and users to explore. You already have notorization as a mechanism to block baddies.
There are rumors of Apple loosening its grip on iOS in 2020. I'd love to see the ability to change default apps (mail, calendar, etc) and an official way to sideload apps. I think the former is likely, the latter isn't.
About to head back to LA from Palo Alto after a very successful, though very short, business trip. I had the pleasure of presenting in the beautiful @awscloud Palo Alto office on the topic of microservices. Thanks for the opportunity!
On the other hand, I got a new car, and am quite excited about it. Another Alfa Romeo Giulia, this time in metallic black with all black exterior accents and rims. Inside is red leather. It’s a proper mid-life crisis car. 🤣
My poor wife and daughter have the flu. The LaCour family’s unlucky health streak continues.
