      Learning

      The Swift compiler doesn't like clunky one-liners. I broke a line into three and saved 20+ seconds of build time. It's for the best because this is too much for one line:

      1. max() of two CGFloat
      2. nil coalesce
      3. divide
      4. multiply
      5. cast to Double
      6. min()
      7. nil coalesce

      watchOS 7 lets you edit all the ring goals, at last! Exercise goes to an hour and the stand ring can be lowered from 12 hours. (via Daring Fireball).

      Apps that take the HKActivitySummary type at face value won't break.

      iOS 14 PSA:

      Do you care about the GPS data on your photos? Make sure Camera has “Precise Location” on.

      If it’s off, every media backup or journaling app you use could be stained with awfully inaccurate location data.

      It’s too late for me, but I hope this’ll help someone.

      Removing analytics from my blog felt good. No more worries about visitor tracking or incomplete data. 11/10 would remove again.

      This is definitely not just an excuse to test Micropub with media from Quill.

      Firefox Media Keys!

      Tips

      Setting media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled in “about:config” allows me to play/pause Overcast and YouTube at last (tested on Firefox 74 and macOS 10.15.4). Switching to Music shows that this works as expected: the latest media played can be controlled by the keys. (via gHacks)
