@74Lovebug14 @Cap4life1970 If either of you have an iPhone or iPad, my new word game is on the App Store:

It’s free, no ads, and the only in-app purchases are (optional) tips for this one man operation.

If you like it, just tell your friends or give an App Store rating.

@notsocrazy24 Not sure how up in-arms you are about it, but _my_ newly-released word game for iOS _does_ have “stele” in its word list: https://t.co/zgxvppyjZG

I wrote something new.

"Writing forces you to slow down, focus your attention, and think deeply. In a world where attention is fragmented in seconds, thinking becomes more reactive than reasoned. Only when we have time to play with a problem can we hope to think about it substantially. Writing requires sticking with something a little longer and developing a deeper understanding.

[...]

Writing is the process by which you realize that you do not understand what you are talking about. Of course, you can learn a lot about something without writing about it. However, writing about something complicated and hard to pin down acts as a test to see how well you understand it. When we approach our work as a stranger, we often discover how something that seems so simple in our heads is explained entirely wrong.

Most organizations see PowerPoint and writing as interchangeable. They are not. Powerpoint masks poor thinking. Just because presentations are easy to create doesn’t mean the person creating them understands what they are talking about. ... All the time spent making the presentation look good comes at the expense of wrestling with the problem and developing unique insights.

Pretty graphics don’t only drug the presenter, they also intoxicate the audience. When dressed up, even poor thinking can come off as well thought out. Writing avoids this because it strips away the fancy graphics. Poor thinking has nowhere to hide.

Other than reading them yourself, one way to test your ideas is to let others read them. Strangers reading your writing can’t see all the thoughts in your head, only the ones you put into words and share. It’s easy to assume the people who disagree with you are wrong. Sharing your understanding with the world allows you to not only test your thinking but also gain the perspective of others."

You can do a lot with SwiftUI, but you can mess up a lot too!

My SwiftUI talk from @swift_leeds is out covering the philosophy behind SwiftUI, and how to write highly performing UI code.

My wife and I are in a fight so I just looked her right in the eyes and folded a towel in fourths.

Are you having a good Monday morning or did your kid just remember they volunteered to bring 150 baby carrots to school today?

Picard management tip: Operating a complex system is challenging enough even with trained staff. Don’t fire everyone.

Deadlines are artificial made up things. Don’t do this. It’s rarely if ever this important. Tech exists for humans, not the other way around.

If you use AirPods, stop what you are doing now and make this shortcut.

[Marius Hauken @mhauken]

5. Create a button for connecting your AirPods

Have trouble connecting your AirPods? Create a button that connects to your AirPods:

To set up this shortcut, you need your AirPods connected to your phone first. Then set up a shortcut that changes playback to your AirPods.

@siracusa The Dynamic Island is somewhere in the Sea of Concurrency, I assume.

This seems particularly timely given safety issues for runners.

Apple Watch Ultra looks awesome. Really tho I would like an in-between normal-sized Apple Watch with the extra physical button and the dual frequency GPS. I'm not adventurous enough to need the other features.
