‘Quitting for Beginners’ .. who knew that there were stages of skills associated in the fine art of quitting.
I’d clearly been quitting all wrong.
And then the brain engaged ….
Quilting … ‘Quilting for Beginners’.
What happened to Web 4?
Dear OSX Daily - are headlines like this really necessary?
I read and hear such a lot of Apple negativity from Apple Developers, that finding just one article of positivity is not easy. (Maybe I follow the wrong people?)
Still, A Tangible Demonstration of Care - David Smith an Independent iOS Developer is a definite exception to the rule - and a real breath of fresh air.
Inspiring enough that I decided that now is the time to go relook at his widgets app.
(I had previously, I just don’t didn’t tinker enough to warrant the app.
But that excuse predates ‘16’ and the ‘lock screen’.
A Good Idea That Might Go Wrong OR A Bad Idea That Will Get Worse?
A New Prediction Market Lets Investors Bet Big on Almost Anything - I see it is behind a paywall - but you can read it all on Apple News
The article is about a ‘new’ prediction market : Kalshi - which initially had problems with getting approval …
“But their concerns were overruled by the agency’s politically appointed commissioners, one of whom has since joined Kalshi’s board.”
The concerns are clear - but for all of that - I can’t help wondering if this still might be a good idea. (Revolving doors between government and commerce aside.)
Of course - they aren’t the first. Heard of predictit (I never knew it was a Kiwi play.)
For 25-year-old predictions, I would have expected to see these two all over the press in 2022 - but not yet?
I read Draper VC; SolidBlock Startup Pitch Competition and thought wait, ‘Fractional Ownership’? Isn’t that ’Timeshare’?
Well according to Athena Law - no … Timeshare and Fractional Ownership Differences
Still doesn’t smell right.
Bricktrade for example.
More investigation.
Oh interesting… Connect to Instapaper/Pocket NOT to import all the stuff you’ve got there and move it here… No… this is just to identify the writers you’ve previously deemed to be interesting and now we can surface other writing by those people for you.
Apple Maps lets users add multiple stops to a route, and sync them between iOS and Macs.
To borrow from @gruber …. FINALLY!
U.K.’s Boris Johnson Survives No-Confidence Vote Over Lockdown Parties (WaPo behind the wall - so not read it - but wouldn’t anyway.)
… as spineless as most Republicans.
So with the news I had to at least listen to the 🎶 band I had never heard of. Definitely not missed much, so won’t be bothering again. Nor should you.
Uh Oh
2022 Apple Design Award Finalists.
I had only even HEARD of three of these apps - much less use them (Procreate excepted).
🔗 A Passwordless Future Needs Portability
“We definitely need to get there because telling users that they may not change from Android to iOS or vice versa because they won’t be able to log into anything is not a good situation.”
One more example of why Silos need to die.
A tale of two @-signs: How to get alternate versions of font characters.
“Amazingly, this is a macOS feature that I’d never encountered in all my years of using the operating system”

Not just Dan. That said I haven’t ever felt the need to do it, but now I know ….
Engineer Molly White explains to Peter Kafka why Web3 isn’t going great
A quick 30 minute listen … one of my favorite interviewers talking to one of my favorite bloggers.
Makes me wonder if anything is going to be announced next week .. but somehow the date synchronization doesn’t seem right?
Setting an alert for Jan 1st 2023 to check back.
This past week I put my computer away to live only on the iPad. Managed to do a lot … but not everything. Have to say, if I spent the time, I probably could have done more … but knowing it was an experiment, some tasks I just decided to hold off on.
Then I read this.
The iPad’s Biggest Limitation and I have also read that even ‘Federico’ is no longer iPad only.
I know we have a few iPad only people in here … @pimoore particularly seems to be able to do way more in iPad only than I would ever think possible … but still, wondering what the dreams, needs, wishes and hopes of this community for next week’s announcements in the iPad world?
