@shawn to my business associates, but you can call me Shawn Throop.

The Facts

Listen to the gossip.

A Canadian idiot dancing with Saarländisches Staatstheater. When I manage my time right, I double as a self taught iOS developer.

Anything new?

@Wife yup, humidity here finally dropped a few hours ago after the rain did. It was getting pretty nuts even after the sun set.

During the heat of the day though, Gehhhhh indeed

@33MHz sorry, as in most of my code is still in private repositories or on my local machine
1290854
@33MHz I felt this one hahaha 😔

@habanero sounds perfect for the kind of machine I’m hoping to make, I want to be able to train some translation models in the future.

Never heard about immutable distros before, gonna have to do some reading

@habanero ignore that last reply, I’m typing from a simulator and forgot to switch accounts 😏

VanillaOS looks like a nice option for a Linux box experiment I’ve been thinking of, bookmarked.

I tried using a TabView to swipe between scopes but that’s logically incoherent and a bit much visually. Using a single list of objects for each submitted query makes much more sense.

I was imagining a complicated search screen but after some spelunking, I have a simple base that lends itself to better animations and customization. Search tokens ended up being half baked on iOS, plus they don’t lend well to scoped searching. #prosedev

@33MHz yeah, I don’t think it’s a huge deal either way. I was thinking Postgres could have better type parity but the myriad of sqlite3 based projects on GitHub means weird Swift integration bugs are pretty well documented.

🍅🥫🤷‍♂️

@33MHz I’ve seen a few people who work primarily with Swift choose Postgres, but I think it might just be preference. I should probably just ask them directly in case there’s some upside to Swift integration… but I’m shy
1286041
I’m planning to use SQLite rather than Postgres for Prose’s server component. Anyone care to explain why that might not be the best choice?

@habanero laws that are actually really important and have helped keep Europe from becoming just hulking skyscrapers and malls
1285701
@habanero for sure, I’ve been surprised this hasn’t effected Europe yet. Some buildings can’t be retrofit, window AC units are the only ubiquitous solution but for historically protected buildings, altering facades might not be possible. They have laws…

@jdscolam family first! Glad you’re okay 😊

@habanero AC is key, I like that Europe hasn’t really adopted it but I’m sure glad to be in North America during the most intense humidity and heat of the summer.

Seattle being humid surprises me, never been but books always portray it as quite temperate
1285012
@habanero I can only imagine, give me an hour and I’d be just a puddle of Canadian sweat

@33MHz you too eh? I left my brother to suffer up north, 29º through the night. Thankfully, here out east, we only had one unbearably humid day this week.
1284942
OMG you can buy the footstool [ikea.com] separately!

I'm out in the Canadian wilderness for now so the loons are actual loons this time and not drunks across the street screaming at each other outside a church.
1284937
It's raining and the loons are out tonight

You gave up too much to turn back now.
