Should I build this app?
I had a need. I chopped away a few hours here and there and built the prototype of an app. Blogging with Hugo or similar static site generators means using three tools: the Terminal, to create new posts and start the local server an editor, to write the post a web browser, to preview the draft I couldn’t find an app that embedded all these functionalities. So I built one, to feed the inner beast.
Aren't Storyboards supposed to tell a story?
In the last few months I have read some interesting articles about “Coordinator” objects. Some they call it Flow Controllers, some coordinators. I admit I like the idea of having an object collecting the navigation logic. As a side effect you end up with slimmer and easier-to-test view controllers. Win-win. Now. Maybe it’s the word itself, maybe I conceptualized it in a wrong way. Isn’t a storyboard supposed to do exactly that?
Drew Wilson is crazy
I mean crazy good :) Yes, I could have used a pencil/pen and paper (my preferred method) but I didn't have any in the room. Drew Wilson source So what do you do when you don’t have pen and paper handy? You build a Mac application in 24h! Kidding aside, I think the NSF should create a fund to investigate how Drew can produce good stuff so quickly.
can't be copied because there isn't enough free space
I was about to copy a ~35GB file onto my Mac. I got the “can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space” message. I checked Finder and the available space was ~75GB. First reaction: WTF? Tried a few more times with no success, much like when you keep on switching on/off a broken switch. Then I checked “System information” and I saw the real available space was ~28GB. Same reaction: WTF?
