Nice and toasty in the shade, gah! #heatwave

I’m working on my #ActivityPub implementation, I can feel what little remains of my sanity ebbing away . In the background, because I'm #GenX and have taste in music:#DeepPurple “Demon's Eye" is playing. Coincidence, yes, but perhaps the universe is trying to hint at something.

Last year I wrote a tiny expression evaluator. And then a really small s-expression evaluator. And today, I found myself tangling things surrounded by lots of silly parenthesis. Dammit, #lisp is so much fun to work with (and easy to expand, add some Boolean operators, sprinkle some text manipulation, etc). My #sed and #ssi and #skunkworks project just did a massive jump today. I just need an excuse to wire in my #forth engine too and I will be fully #FutureRetro or whatever it’s called.

If you are going to “protect” your #website, kindly use something that actually works and doesn’t false negative genuine visitors. I've hit the #vercel “failed to verify your browser” too many times today for it to be not funny.

@gaby_wald "Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.” - Terry Pratchett

CSS or BS?

Think you know CSS? Real property or made-up nonsense? 20 rounds. No mercy.

I implore software developers to

PLEASE

USE

your OWN FUCKING SOFTWARE

before forcing it on others

especially when you make major changes to the interface, or add stuff to the interface

and also developers who don't consider accessibility need to be given the access problem until they understand the issue with the shit they're making

October? October! Are you kidding me. This sucks.

Wrote a thing about my app nobody uses except me going away, and the reasons why I wrote it - namely that the Apple Watch is awful for weight loss. https://joebaldwin.me.uk/blog/sunsetting-budgie-diet/ #iOSDev #Apple #AppleWatch

Sunsetting Budgie Diet (and why the Apple Watch sucks)

My diet app, Budgie Diet, is being sunsetted, because I’ve decided that despite my best efforts, the Apple Watch is just a terrible, no-good device for weight loss, and I am switching (back) to Android and a Pixel Watch, and specifically the FitBit ecosystem. My reason for this is simple: it should not be up to me, some rando, to fix one of the most glaring feature holes in the Apple Watch given its position as a fitness device. And I cannot really justify continued effort on this when I could simply focus on the thing I actually care about - losing weight - rather than trying to hack together something that works nowhere near as well as Fitbit.
