`onChange(of: Optional<NSUndoManager>) action tried to update multiple times per frame.` ｘ(a lot)

@nilcoalescing.com Hi, I used your UndoProvider example (nilcoalescing.com/blog/Handlin...) and it was a real godsend for keeping my Mac app's autosave state correct but it's been causing a lot of SwiftUI errors - have you seen this?

Apparently @mailgun.bsky.social is casually DOUBLING the price of its service?!

I spent an hour on hold for with an airline yesterday and sadly Apple’s “Hold” feature was useless as it turned off every time the voice cut in say “your call is very important to us, please stay on the line and one of our agents will be with you very shortly.”

I think this might be my favourite of your videos (I’ve been watching since the start!). I can see your hands on technical experience shining through, and in-game destruction is such an interesting subject. Now I’m interested in how developers of games like Noita and Teardown make the games.. games.

That is strange. Please forward any correspondence when you email me. Did you mention the specific in app purchase to Apple?

Ok use michael@goodtohear.co.uk
I don’t know who you spoke to but I have never heard of Apple getting on the phone about something like this. Did you use the link? support.apple.com/en-gb/118223

My email is easy to find but I don't see anything from you in my inbox.
But to restate: I am unable to process refunds, this is all handled by Apple without any input from me.

Hi, this needs to be done via Apple support.apple.com/en-gb/118223

A great claim to fame for me was when @hbomberguy.bsky.social liked my stupid ukulele song on Twitter.
But DID YOU KNOW this was OVER-ENGINEERED TO F*CK?

Nice, I’ve been doing this a while too - it’s great to have the flexibility but can be a bit of a technical headache!

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

I guess I could turn up in my Stop Funding Hate t shirt and glare at them.

I guess I mean ”heard of, or would ever have used anyway”

Easy to say when they’re all companies you’ve never heard of! (Maybe you have, but I haven’t.) it’s harder when it’s M&S et al. How would they even know I’m boycotting them because of their GB News support?

After @tantacrul.bsky.social mentioned me in his video on Aleatoric Music video (6 years ago 😅) I’ve finally resurrected the project that I felt most justified my inclusion! It was an app, now it’s a livestream on YouTube. www.youtube.com/live/-nEegj2...

Just had a choc ice in the bath.

I felt like Scarface.

None of these music player apps seem to have a “make this the last song” feature.

The term "bug" was used in an account by computer pioneer Grace Hopper, who publicized the cause of a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer.[13] A typical version of the story is: In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark II and Mark III. Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitches in a program a bug.[14]

What an unexpectedly great bit of etymology! #software

After a couple of months living in Edinburgh, London feels like a clenched arsehole.

Proud to have been involved in this project, though in a very minor way. Huge omission in the programme is Phillip Jacobs, who found the tip of the snout which led Steve Etches and his team to locate the rest of the specimen

10k in under a hour on my 70th birthday today! Proud of myself

Constantly confused in Edinburgh because I can’t get used to southwards being uphill.
