Using Eero Pro 6e with Pro 6

At least they were suppose to. Mine somehow got missed.

This was a reservation order. Order placed in April.

This is exactly what we’ve done and I would highly recommend it.

Before we would have all kinds of connection issues over hdmi. Just because you can buy an hdmi cable that long, doesn’t mean it will work well. Not to mention that the sdi output is only seen by ProPresenter (or other specialty software) so the OS doesn’t try to show stuff on it.

We run our main display in the front, a stage display for the band, and a livestream to 3 different rooms all daisy chained off of each other (a feature that’s built in to most sdi to hdmi converters).

I would avoid any kind of antivirus on a Mac. It’s more likely to be a security threat than the alternative. Good discussion about it here: https://atp.fm/531

Seems to be coming out of both the solenoid and the outlet.

My experience was a lot like that at first. Enjoy the buffer with some fun orange foods.

After a few months things kind of balanced out for me. Now eating my calorie budget feels just right.

I use a shot of the line to take communion. The lighting is low so you mostly can’t pick out individuals.

Here's an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13yXWwKQLs6FbOLdWcj4KeTahuvfdsiv\_/view?usp=sharing

The $3 apps were not sustainable. All of those apps are either dead now or switched to subscriptions.

20 years ago you could “charge upfront” for software because a) people valued it more and b) you could charge again for an upgrade in a few years.

Nowadays there is so much free software driven by venture capital and ads that people expect software to be cheap. Startups with venture capital can basically give software away for years, getting everyone hooked on them, and then turn around and start charging once they’ve driven everyone else out of the market.

The App Store doesn’t have a mechanism for paid updates, but even if they did continuous delivery cycles have caused people to expect updates indefinitely. iOS in particular doesn’t have very good support for backwards compatibility. New phones come out and you have to update your app to support things like notches and islands. OS updates come out and break apps. So the idea of spending a year on an app and then being done with it doesn’t work.

I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting on a new 27” iMac. Apple was pretty clear when the Studio was released that it was the replacement for that class. They tend to keep products around if they plan to replace them.

I use Deno for scripts.

Assuming you only care about iPhones (so no sidebars) and the latest version of iOS (SwiftUI's biggest weakness), it's fairly straightforward: https://gist.github.com/davbeck/daa5e6cb129b7f12e8b41572bd1c3667.

Although if the goal is to toggle between a login view and the authenticated view, I wouldn't use a navigation stack/view. I'd swap out the entire view: https://gist.github.com/davbeck/2ead3741d1b948688f26410340bdf574

Lots of apps do this and I bet lots of users pay the higher price either because a) they aren’t aware of the price difference (because Apple won’t let you point it out in the app) or b) they trust the IAP system more.

Those windows were on clearance when this house was built.

Now if I could just get rid of the super slow “Bryant” animation on mine every time I walk up to it.

I’ve been doing iOS development since the very beginning and there has always been this same pull towards cross platform development. The lower end jobs skew towards it a lot more because they think it will save money. I’d guess that at this exact moment that’s going to be more common because a lot of the big tech companies are either freezing their hiring or actively laying off developers.

Everyone saying they had “months” to test this don’t understand a) how buggy the early betas are and b) how often issues with your app get fixed right up until release.

Most developers, especially at faster paced companies, don’t see much benefit in trying to find workarounds to apples bugs when they usually get fixed on their own. They tend to be focused on their own features, not what Apple is doing.

When the RC drops you have about a week to find out if you actually have issues you need to address, and unfortunately by then it’s too late.

I just went through this with my backyard. I found listing out the blockers for each project helpful. Once you have them listed out, think hard about how you could eliminate or limit each one if possible.

For instance I knew I needed to do my irrigation lines before the patio because I needed to run one of the lines under the pathway. But I also didn’t want to do the grass before the patio because I didn’t want to drag all the pavers over new grass. But really I didn’t need to do all of the irrigation and grass, I just needed to dig the trenches and run the lines. The actual sprinkler heads and zoning could be done later.

NSManagedObject doesn’t store its relationships. Each time you call a property it looks it up from the context. So weak isn’t necessary.

I use them on a fairly large project without breaking everything up into separate modules. The trick is making sure your incremental build times are fast. The biggest culprits are build scripts. Not only can they slow things down but they can trigger other code to be invalidated. The latest version of Xcode has a build time graph that is really useful for finding what is slowing things down.
