The Education Connection commercial was way ahead of its time.

@Jakob_Wahlberg It’s okay to be different. It’s not for you. That’s fine. Glad you liked Hollow Knight though. It also took me 3-4 tries before I got into it.

Tried Mario Odessey again. For some reason, Mario simply doesn’t do it for me, and I’m not sure why. It’s weird, such an universally praised IP and I haven’t played a single entry that I found a reason to continue playing after 10-15 min.

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! 🤯

On my iOS wishlist: Clock widget with Find My support showing your friends’ local time.

Twitter had activated the special animation for when you hit the like button on an #AppleEvent tweet, like this one

@punkzillaa I hope it gets better!

Good morning! Big day today! apple.com/apple-events/

The folks at Procreate didn’t have to go this hard! youtu.be/wbem5qrH5ow?si…

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.

@sdw Man I’m sorry that happened. The car theft is out of control. A small but not insignificant reason I don’t want to replace my old, beat up, paint chipped, Prius is because it’s not a targetable car. I hope you somehow get your stuff back.

Got a nice last minute wedding outfit in San Francisco last night, went to a friends dinner, only to find my car broken into and my outfit and jacket stolen. If you see a pile of new clothes and a blue Taylor Stitch jacket near 4th and Brannan please let me know 😔

@Javi Hahahaha! Probably someone’s Bluetooth mechanical keyboard going to sleep so they mash it to wake it up before committing the change.

Is this someone's password? lol

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.

See ya later, Twitter. It’s been real. I’ll be active on mastodon: @ciscoserrano@mastodon.social or if you want to join me in seeing what’s going on in the secret corner of the internet you can follow me here: ciscoserrano.bsky.social
