One of my most controversial software opinions is that your sleep quality and stress level matter far, far more than the languages you use or the practices you follow. Nothing else comes close: not type systems, not TDD, not formal methods, not ANYTHING. Allow me to explain why.

I'm changing Twitter id, I'm now at @41RCO I started this id a few years back for a small blog w/ Apple-related posts. But there's already so many brilliant people posting so much, and I stopped it. I've noticed the "apple" in my handle skews some conversations, so am changing.

This looks interesting. Not sure if it would stand up to heavy daily usage, but definitely worth a look!

Also wouldn't mind having some type of Guided Access ("kid mode") on macOS. We regularly let them watch movies on the laptop, but don't want them messing around in our documents or apps.

The 5-year old just deleted pretty much all apps on the old iPhone that we let the kids play games on... is there any way to give them full access to launch apps but block the ability to uninstall or move them?

Siri in Dutch has the annoying habit of transcribing my requests wrong, but then giving the right answer anyway. Like it’s 2 seperate pieces of logic. Does it do that in English, too?

I'm always interested in trying to understand what the idealized "mobile life" being pitched by various companies is supposed to be like. Last year, I traveled with just an iPad Pro LTE and found I could (barely) do what I needed to do, with much awkwardness. (Long thread.)

One of the more ironic consequences of using Safari private browsing mode in the EU is that you keep getting GDPR notices over and over again 🤔 @rmondello, anything that could be done about this client side?

Put the Remote app on my list of little things I wouldn't mind seeing on macOS.

Does anyone have any idea why there is no Youtube Kids app for tvOS? 🤷‍♂️

I wonder if any of Apple’s Tizen apps might contain hidden strings or variable names that could point to branding around Apple’s TV service... cc @_inside @stroughtonsmith
