Just tooting into the void
It will be 28 degrees today. 200 more days until November and this madness stops.

Yay, our offer to rent a house in the Netherlands has been accepted! We’re moving there in a couple of months, which I suspect will be a very busy period of packing up two kids' quadrillion “BUT I NEED THIS” toys and about a backpack of Mary’s and my clothes…

Looking forward to living in a different country again, not so much to the 8th time packing everything up and moving again in the past 10 years

@michaelten I don’t have any experience with those unfortunately
SwiftUI is such a quintessentially Apple product. Beautiful, magical and increasingly frustrating.

I binge watched the 3 Body Problem series on Netflix over the weekend and enjoyed it overall. Have been waiting for it since it’s been announced, but I feared it will be butchered like the last seasons of Game of Thrones were.

I personally couldn’t imagine how the books could be faithfully adapted into an engaging TV show, but was pleasantly surprised. I guess I’m not a writer for a reason…

Looking forward to the next season and see how they handle the even crazier parts.

@lindadong Do you mean you’re making them REALITY? :wink :wink
Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/
📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.

Hey all, I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined. Apollo made 7 billion...
