Getting my 9 year old son to clean things is a lot like debugging software. He fixes the problem in one spot only to move it to another.
For instance he swept up the mess he made eating from around his chair but now it is around the trash can instead of in it 😂

Just spent a few minutes at LAX with ForeFlight Voyager on the Vision Pro.
It's really cool to see and hear the traffic live, especially with the Infinite Flight models.
Also, shout-out to the tower controller for the cool "Air France 23 Kilo, contact Socal Departure, à bientôt !"

I bought a super cheap mini pc a year ago and have been plagued by lag on the terminal from day one. Finally figured out Ubuntu WiFi power saving settings was the source of the issue… despite only sshing into the Ethernet port IP address! Disabled power saving and all is fine now.

I am attempting to get a JPEG XL to render with SwiftUI, but so far have not been able to achieve it. However, I can get it to render with UIImage. This image is in an XCAsset bundle in a Swift Package. Anyone know how to get it on screen with SwiftUI?
Here is the working UIImageView version:

A lot of indie apps are having a blast on Bluesky, and we'd love more of our friends and fans to join the party. So we came up with a fun idea: a giveaway! #IndieSky

Muting the word “bluesky” for 7 days earlier today was the best thing. A lot more interesting things and less noise.

I created around 100 custom SFSymbols from some source SVG files recently. The only app that I found that worked for batch processing the SVGs to SFSymbol templates was this:
apps.apple.com/us/app/custo...
It was a little wonky, but super easy to use once I figured it out.

Custom Symbols
Convert any SVG artwork into an SF Symbol file that you can use in Xcode.
Configure cap & base lines and right and left margins by dragging with the mouse or precisely via text inputs.

I built this fully 3D printed plane in the past few weeks, and it flew beautifully! It's a free download from Eclipson. I just printed it, glued it together, stuffed some electronics in it, and boom, we're flying!
