Claude Code is “Wibbling” today…

Normally, this is the term I apply to drivers in Boulder trying to get around town (you know, that “I'm so safe and polite, I'm going to get you killed” thing that so many love to do around here).

Well, this is a catastrophe in the making for Brits abroad. 😞

Changes for listening to BBC audio outside the UK | BBC Sounds

Earlier this year, BBC Studios launched a new audio service outside the UK on BBC.com and the BBC app. This includes BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service English and access to thousands of hours of podcasts. As part of the announcement, we said we planned to close BBC Sounds to audiences living outside the UK. We can now confirm that BBC Sounds has closed for listeners based outside the UK.

Help. Does not compute.

Coming back to Swift development in Xcode after a long period of React/Typescript. It's like trying to write code with one hand tied behind your back while getting repeatedly slapped in the face.

Swift Previews: in what world is this usable? 20s to update after adding a single item to the button list. MacBook Pro 2021 (M1 Pro, 32GB RAM)

Last March I switched my Mac to use Spanish. I changed it back to English later the same month.

The Books app, however, remains half stuck in Spanish all these months (and reboots, updates etc.) later.

¿No es maravilloso?

Now into the second month of receiving perfectly transcribed emails of every single voicemail left for a French speaking company CEO.

All because whoever configured his voicemail service used the wrong domain for the email address (only 3 characters off 🙄).

Multiple contact attempts later and still it continues…

Imagine if Murdoch's News of the World crew had had this feature!

What happened in the UK that everyone here seems to believe that a cappuccino needs to be ginormous? It’s impossible to get a 6 or even 8oz cup - everything ends up like an anonymous milky vat.

The AWS Cost Explorer date options are so perverse - there's literally no way to get an auto-updating trailing 28 or 30 day view.

It seems so stupid that it doesn't provide this. Who on earth wants all of last month and none of this, or some of this and none of last?

Semantic_ic versioning.

Decided to revisit the hawk family this morning with the good camera in hand - turns our there are three chicks (properly called “eyasses” I learned) in the nest. Saw both parents visiting with meals.
