@ccgus This is the Oru Beach, my second folding. I have the Bay and tried the Inlet. Beach is the best balance of speed, stability, tracking and ease of folding. But it doesn’t work as well if there are swells. Overall great, my wife and I use them all the time.

@philippec Ohhhh, is that one of those foldy kayaks? How do you like it?

I didn’t think I’d be kayaking in October but this was a lovely evening

@MarcosIckx Le logiciel est @arqbackup: arqbackup.com

@philippec pourriez-vous me rappeler quel est le logiciel de backup en ligne utilisé par vous et votre famille ? Je sais que vous en aviez parlé dans le podcast cacaocast, mais je ne reviens plus sur le nom du logiciel. Merci d’avance.

@UnderTheLoupe That is so elegant!

@philippec Designed this way. Typically the gap is smaller. It’s a bimetallic strip that flexes in & out with corresponding changes in temperature to speed & slow the rate of older watches—akin to the arms of a figure skater when they spin.

A seriously split bi-metallic balance wheel

@schwa Now that’s a road trip!

@Cecile_Lecoq J’y suis allé deux fois pour le styromousse (une fois pour mon voisin) toujours à vélo et je n’ai eu que de bons commentaires 🤷‍♂️

@kaydacode I assume you know about Jira for kids? m.youtube.com/watch?v=9shZsl…

Reached the point in managing that I’ve now created a trello board for myself.

This is super-handy. Thanks, Natalia!

Hey Apple, time zones are hard. We know. Love, developers. (As I await the release of today’s videos that should have been available 24 minutes ago…)

Well-deserved, @parrots always raises the bar for a great app. Congratulations, Curtis!

I've been able to re-package "naked libraries" into XCFrameworks without difficulty. But if the vendor does not even give you the "built for AppleSilicon" version of their library, you're SOL. You need the following slices: arm64 (devices), x86_64 (Intel sims) and arm64 (M1 sims)

@avbelow @subdigital Here's the thread. It's pretty short. developer.apple.com/forums/thread/…

@subdigital Would you mind sending me the link to that thread?

@lightoncanvas No power. Probably for the next few days.

@philippec Take care Phil. Hopefully you still have power.

Wind storm tore off part of my metal roof…

@StuFFmc Not sure what you mean… it’s only 20 years old…

I have successfully done all 10! Assuming a microwave oven counts as « fridge/appliance » and patio furniture for « furniture » 😂 #CarryShitOlympics

@chriseidhof @wtsnz Ha! I’m not _in_ Montreal but one good source would be @cocoaheadsmtl when it starts up again

@wtsnz I bet @philippec knows how to meet a bunch of them!

Do I know any iOS devs based here in Montreal? (or surrounding areas) - just moved here and would love to meet some folks

@schwa I’ve had pretty good success with this one. Will definitely toast, but no large bread pieces sportsexperts.ca/en-CA/p-glacie…
