  • Just got an M1 Mac Mini. Holy smokes it’s fast. ClipDish build time went from 10+ minutes to <100 seconds.

  • CheatSheet is a little macOS app that will show all of the currently mapped keyboard shortcuts with a long-press on the ⌘-Key.

  • How do you change the location of your Docker images on macOS?

    This is mostly a note to self so I don’t forget how to do this

    My 2017 era MacBook Pro only has 250GB of storage. With Xcode and Docker, it’s pretty easy to eat up the entire drive. Luckily it’s easy to move the location of your docker disk images.

    1. Open Docker Preferences
    2. Select Resources ➡ Advanced
    3. Scroll down to “Disk image location”
    4. Set the disk image to your external drive.
    5. Apply and restart.

    It takes a few minutes to move everything.

  • Renewing healthcare plans really shouldn’t be this complicated. Ok, it’s easy to just click “renew” but if you want to actually compare plans across providers? Fuhgettabout it.

  • Metabase has a better UI for building BI dashboards than Amazon QuickSight. It would be perfect if I could upload a CSV to the cloud version though.

  • Privacy.com (great service) just notified me that their issuing bank has changed the rules. I need to regenerate all-new cards.

    That sucks.

  • Woke up at 4am to my senior lab barking. So tired.

  • It’s the second time this week I had to charge my Apple Watch from zero. Both times it wouldn’t charge unless I rebooted it.

  • 👨‍⚕️Boosted! No side effects so far.

  • Who’s still enjoying leftover Thanksgiving food?

  • If Facetime wants to compete with Zoom it needs to do a better job with echo cancellation when using external microphones. Seems pretty unusable w/ my Logitech video camera.

    Does anyone else have this issue?

  • Trivia Q: what 📺 👨‍⚕️ kept his collection of porn in his office?

  • He didn’t want to go out for a walk.

  • Spending this weekend working on my Plex library. Discovered the Plex Meta Manager project and it’s a game-changer for keeping your library tidy and organized.

  • Succession > Billions

  • It’s really rewarding getting an app review from a stranger.

  • What python pip tools do I use to

    Here’s a list of useful python tools I have installed to manage packages and their dependencies. I’m posting it here so I don’t forget what I’ve installed in six months when I need them again.

    • return a sorted list of installed packages? pip-date
    • remove packages and their dependencies? pip-autoremove
    • show packages and their dependencies? pip-deptree
    • manage python environments? pipenv

  • “It’s like the turkeys mounted a counterattack”

  • It’s 6:52am on Thanksgiving morning. Turkey still partially 🧊.

  • It would be helpful if Amplitude would let me segment on OS versions as a number (i.e., everyone ><= iOS 13.1) I often want to check this value so I know who to notify when updating minimum iOS version in ClipDish.

    Seems like it should “be a thing” but can’t figure it out.

  • Me right now…

  • I’m tempted to move my API back end from AWS to GC. The only thing stopping me is that the Zappa project makes it so darn easy to deploy AWS Lambdas.

  • Just found out about a VSCode extension which in most cases eliminates the need for Postman. Check out Thunderclient. 💻

  • I freakin love writing unit tests.

  • I never realized what a drain on the battery development with Xcode is. Sixty minutes in and I need to charge my battery.
