Huh. A week ago, if you searched for calmshows in the app store (the exact name for one of my apps), the app did not appear. Now it's the first result again.

calmshows is a fun app that I built to track when your favourite tv shows and movies are available. No ads, no distractions, just joy.
One minor complaint. If you search for 'calmshows' on the appstore it does not appear. It used to be the first or second hit!

Is there an awesome micromodels site that shows models of different types that can run on a 2 cpu host with 4gb of ram?
New most common prompt:
You compacted halfway through. Please do a git diff, check the changes, and compare with our following original instructions:

Wow. I submitted an app to the Apple App Store and it was accepted for distribution without a single rejection. One and done.
That has never happened before.
It's like a magical unicorn.

I’m building using vanilla XCode with vanilla UI components, so hopefully I’m ok …
Well, I guess I am about to find out if only using standard #SwiftUI components and configuration settings is forward compatible.
#golang just leaving error handling be is possibly the most golang move ever and I am here for it.

Lesson learned. Ridiculously expensive #Ubiquiti switches are well worth the cost.
#Andor season 1 was ok. Andor season 2 is amazing. It's giving Rogue One.
FWIW I get responses on Mastodon :)
Yes?
#s3 best practices:
simonwillison.net/2025/May/14/...
"- Ideally never mutate an object in S3, add a new version instead."
I agree but would go further:
- s3 versions are an antipattern. Always create a new s3 object with a new name.
Too extreme?
Absolutely. Humans are single threaded. We can learn to context switch quickly and efficiently but any context switch incurs latency.
Request to #golang devs. When creating a library, a go.dev link is great, but please also add at least one example, at least one test, or a detailed README.
Also, please provide real installation instructions instead of, or in addition to, a Docker instance.
Thanks!
