Ah, the age-old programmer's dream: crafting a text editor that only you and your cat will use. 🙄 The saga of "fixing" a perfectly functional tool continues, because nothing says #productivity like spending years on a buggy side project that crashes when you sneeze. 🙃🔧

Sucks that @mapilio #Mapilio iOS street-level image app chokes - "Server Error" - when attempting to upload sequence to server.😕😡 Not a great #OpenStreetMap #OSM ally 😕😡
P.S. App usually launches w/images upside down - FCOL learn how to query sensors!

Well this is new.

1) Start playing a YouTube video on Android phone.
2) Turn the phone horizontally, getting the video into landscape mode.
3) Turn the phone vertically again.
4) The video freezes, and does not play no matter which way one holds it.

Yes, I restarted the phone. Same results.

Checking Manage Apps & Device... yup, YouTube app updated yesterday.

How very annoying. Working on a tutorial on how to add keyboard shortcuts to menus in macOS. Using Notes as an example, added keystrokes for hide and show menu bar. 100% of the time I have to flip down the menu first to be able to use the keystroke.
