two years ago we released the xcodes command-line tool to make it easier for developers to install and switch between multiple versions of Xcode. we’ve wanted to make an app out of it for a long time, and now we have. let us know what you think!

@jasonbrennan i kinda want to try adding gopher or gemini support!

[brandon (parody, not a goose) @interstateone]

@jasonbrennan logging back in to say that this is a really cool idea and a well-written post. i like that the constraints on something otherwise massive makes this achievable and understandable (with a language and UI framework that don’t scream “browser engine”.)

@mikurubaeahina is it possible to purchase a print of this photo? I really like the light

@gccarra @Ward9Tweets “Make the citizens trying not to freeze to death a little colder” seems bad. Is there more to this story? Feels like there’s gotta be better options here.

suspend journalists for “doxxing” > poll users about suspended journalists > “okay, everyone thinks we shouldn’t suspend for doxxing, got it” > monkey’s paw curls, right wing dipshits continue to doxx vulnerable people.

i haven’t serviced my 50 year old kenmore domestic sewing machine in the 15 years that i’ve owned it. it’s built like a tank, but was getting noisy and skipping stitches. it’s sooo quiet now after oiling according to the manual. it’ll outlive me.

paying once to own a tool that’s made of appropriate materials which can be maintained in order to serve its purpose for decades. (it came with a 25 year warranty!) wild.

A new hot take on the Foundation library has been announced by Tony Parker at the @SwiftServerConf conference!

Open source, and 100% Swift~! It also means full 1:1 parity between platforms, there is no more "the other foundation impl" (corelibs) 🎉 #swift

@BikeBikeYYC the 5a comms strategy is:
1) @yyctransport warns drivers of a delay because someone was hit by a car
2) block sidewalks with signs for drivers
3) leave it to #yycbike to collectively reverse engineer a detour on twitter
4) 311

@YYCTKW @peterloliver I agree that people will always want to come downtown. I strongly disagree that people want to drive though. Nobody _wants_ to drive! They _choose_ to drive to get somewhere when the city is built in a way that prioritizes vehicles above everything else.

after years of going to some random unix timestamp website when i need some sample value, i realized i could take the same approach to use alfred with a hotkey (ctrl+shift+d) and `date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ" | tr -d ‘\n’`.

[brandon (parody, not a goose) @interstateone]

i’ve been using uuidgen | pbcopy for years now and just realized that this is trivial to do in alfred with a hotkey (i picked ^+U) and it’ll also automatically paste in the active app, which is a million times better.

@soffes our vanagon has ko2s and we don’t do any off roading but I’ve been impressed with them in the snow and slush during the winter. the open diff limits traction sometimes. i was worried about noise, and they’re a tiny bit louder than before, but it’s not bad.

@RebeccaSlatkin e.g. https://t.co/KfxNTkdsDm dog stays in a crate if we're not home while cats can roam just to be safe. he wants to play with them when he's excited but he's ~100lbs.

[brandon (parody, not a goose) @interstateone]

@RebeccaSlatkin our 1yo rescued dog and 6/13yo rescued cats have established boundaries now. we have 4 of those pet gates with the smaller gate that the cats can go through when they need space. also allows us to keep the cat food and litter in rooms that the dog can't get to.
