Core Intuition Episode 611: “Do Not Hallucinate” coreint.org/2024/09/e…
I got my Covid and Flu shots this morning. No side-effects yet, hoping for the best! But I wanted to grab that Covid vax ASAP because things are heating up. Maybe you should too?
@manton summarize all the things
Breezy NYT Friday crossword. 7:16.
I finally indoctrinated my children to They Might Be Giants. On a drive home from camping: “Can we hear James K. Polk again!?”
Over the weekend I scored a new PR by solving a Rubik’s Cube in 21.96s in competition.
Just posted MarsEdit 5.2.4 with a couple important fixes: one to fix Rich Text editing in macOS 15 betas, and one to fix a problem where multiple blogs’ posts could be mixed together in the app. redsweater.com/blog/4130…

Thanks to @revenuecat@mastodon.social for sponsoring our show!
Attention iOS and Mac developers! If you don’t know about Regex Breakpoints, you’re really missing out. I periodically remind people and have been trying to spread the word since 2019 or earlier. Here’s a link to my short explanation of them: youtu.be/eSxXmnmjY…
I recently bemoaned the apparent loss of the AppleVis site/community, which serves Apple platform customers who depend on accessibility features in software. Great news! It’s being revived by the folks at Be My Eyes! www.applevis.com/blog/appl…
I mostly love Backblaze but JFC it’s been over ten years since I first complained that I have to wait forever for my files to load just to pick a date and wait again …
It’s rare to celebrate brand-spanking-new Mac apps these days! @Retcon@indieapps.space is a new app that applies a massive dose of Mac usability to rewriting Git histories. Bravo! retcon.app
Robert F. Kennedy has suspended his Presidential campaign, and endorsed Trump.
After I explained the whole “That’s My Dad!” thing to my kids, my 12yo said “You’re more of a Tim Walz dad.” ❤️
THAT’S MY DAD.
Achievement unlocked: mustering the courage, in Amsterdam, to ask a random person on the street something in Dutch, having them apologize for only speaking Spanish, and then proceeding to ask the question in Spanish. 🌍 (In Amsterdam for a week with family - leaving tomorrow morning, alas!)
The unexpectedly optimistic state of the American Presidential race (for rational people) is proof that you can never rule out a happy turnaround. Good life lesson.
It seems like just one competent web developer could solve so many of JetBlue’s problem. It’s been clown town over there for years!
@jedichica.bsky.social Thanks!
I don’t think I’ve mentioned before that I’m on an adult softball team. We’re called “The Beer Boys” and we just advanced to the championship for our very small, very casual league.
@manton did you see “raygun”? Our family is having fun with her.
@manton Breakdancing isn't here to stay - I don't know the process well but they try out sports sometimes or just bring them in for short term promotional purposes. It's not on the roster for 2028.

The chuckleheads who thought they could malign Tim Walz by calling him “Tampon Tim” think that providing essential products to women, and others who menstruate, is not only irrelevant, but scorn-worthy. These dingalings are HELLA weird.
The previews of the next Star Wars movie are intense.
The obsession Trump, Vance, and their ilk have with insulting fellow Americans who volunteered to serve in the armed forces, and with diminishing their selfless efforts to protect us all … it’s … it’s just weird.
I had a terrible nightmare last night. I was in San Francisco and I went to Taqueria Cancun, and it was BAD. And they were RUDE. I was so happy to wake up and realize it was all a dream.
@grubz haha thx
This photo captures my age and my youth in one shot.
TIL the song “The Weight” by The Band sings “Take the load off Annie” and not “Take the load off MARY”. My wife is laughing at my ability to mishear MARY of all things.
@manton great last paragralh
@jthingelstad I haven't been yet but I hope to check it out next time I visit.
@manton Easier to get a reservation I imagine?
@manton Gorgeous!
@jmanes Weird OS behavior that seems related to MarsEdit trying to upset itself. Nothing to worry about, I think!
@alpower Haha, I hope so :)
@markstoneman Not as of yet. It would require an expansion to the API that MarsEdit uses to post to Micro.blog. Not a bad idea, though. @manton
@manton Bon voyage!
@petebrown @matti FYI I updated MarsEdit in version 5.2, released today, so it should handle this scenario better.
@ConatusPrinciple Probably not by me.
@jimmitchell Fantastic, glad you're happy about that!
@Burk Thanks!
@macgreg Thanks Greg!
@SimonWoods Awesome, I hope you enjoy it!
@manton In fact it's a kind of stopgap for proper stationery support. I was kind of interested to learn though that "Duplicate" is a standard mechanism of the AppKit document model. That's why I went with that naming, at least for now.
@mackuba.eu Hah, nothing. Just reading it as part of debugging process.
@matti Yeah, I noticed the bug about the number of posts downloaded being off. Interesting that it's with one of those posts, I can't see anything obviously wrong with either. I'll take a closer look soon!
@JohnPhilpin Maybe so, but this sounds like the kind of feature that would be better suited to a server-side plugin, if possible.
@pratik No, I guess not. It would be nice.
@petebrown @matti I'm going to look into whether MarsEdit can try to recover more gracefully in this situation. If you wanted to confirm this is the issue, you could set the "Number of Posts to Download" in MarsEdit's blog settings to some smaller number until the bug goes away.
