  1. It looks like the #SwiftUI backgroundTask modifier causes some issue. I removed it and registered the background task in the old-fashioned way, and now it works fine. 😁

  2. I’ve always thought that C/C++ build system is one of the worst possible, but I see that Xcode wants proof otherwise. 😆 Nonetheless, I still have a lot of code to move, so I don’t think I’ll finish before the weekend. 😮‍💨

  3. After all that, I need to create an app group for my app… All that to tinker a bit with widgets for the app. 😂 Am I doing something wrong? Is there a faster way to share code between targets or to move some code to a shared framework?

  4. The problem with that is when the user doesn’t open the app for a day, I don’t have a way for scheduling the next reminder. I could use a background task for that, but there is no guarantee it’ll be run - thanks 🍎.

  7. 🚨 Devs are losing their minds because Microsoft decided to play a game of hide and seek with C/C++ #extensions in VS Code forks. 🕵️‍♂️ Meanwhile, The Register's website is so secure, it thinks you're a robot just for showing up. 🤖🔒

  8. Ah, yes, the riveting tale of the PS3's epic quest to outwit a cookie! 🍪🤦‍♂️ Our protagonist, an overzealous dev with a penchant for retrospection, regales us with a #saga about ManyCore dreams dashed by a console so complex, not even a junior dev’s rose-tinted nostalgia could save it. Spoiler: It was too hard, folks. 🎮💔

  9. "Replacement-Induced Development" (RID)

    The phenomenon where the act of starting to replace a component in your stack scares the original component into working properly again.

    Weirdly-specific example: Yet another frustrating bug has popped up with Celery, and in the process of finally replacing it with Huey, Celery suddenly decides to work like nothing was ever wrong. 😒😂
