I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush.
I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.
In 2024 the Green Party is running Cornell West. Let’s not repeat this history, friends
Your vote is not a marriage. You’re not choosing a life partner. It’s a chess move for what’s best for the country and the world.
I have these personal victories sometimes where I know something big or important happened because of me (even if I wasn’t the only one working on it, or the person who actually delivered the thing), and it reminds me a bit of when I’m playing hockey and I know that the reason a goal happened was because of something I set in motion, even if I don’t get credit for the assist. Some NHL color announcers do a really good job of diagramming how a play came together for TV broadcast, so that fans can understand that it’s not just about points, but team play. There aren’t any color commentators at my level of hockey, and there certainly aren’t any at work, but I know. And often that has to be—and is—enough.
3. If you want your app intent to always run in your app, you can:
- implement openAppWhenRun, in which case it'll foreground your app OR
- implement AudioIntent, LiveActivityIntent or ForegroundContinuableIntent in which case it'll run in your app, but run in the background.

Zenitizer, an excellent meditiation app from Manuel Kehl was recently updated with iCloud sync support. The app's design is impeccable and a great example of the strengths of SwiftUI when it's scaled from watchOS to larger screen sizes.

There are a lot of steps involved in preparing an iOS project for remote push notifications. I thought it would be nice to have everything summarized in one place, so I just published a blog post that describes all the necessary setup: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/RemotePushSetup
It includes the app capability configuration, requesting user permission, getting the device token and testing the push with the new Push Notifications Console from Apple.

My immediate team is hiring! If you love working on API that is used on both iOS and visionOS this might be the role for you!
DM if you have any questions.
It is possible and easy to recognize the limitations and insufficiency of electoral politics and still use voting as one action among many to facilitate change.
Listen to what black people and queer people are saying.
I roll my eyes when the *only* response people have to injustice is "Vote!1!" I roll my eyes more at the idea that not voting is some big brain 5D chess radical move that lets you operate outside the system.
Use every lever of power you can reach. Every single one.
The GOP hates that voting has real consequences, that it's small form of power and that "just anyone" even those who they see as unAmerican and non-persons can vote. It's intolerable to them.
Democratic leadership is also somewhat uncomfortable with widespread suffrage. (Fans of the party will argue with me about this. But, from what I've seen they will cheerlead for more people to vote right up until they have *just enough* to win.)
I want everyone to vote. EVERYONE.
Most productive day I've had in weeks, and it feels good!
Rebuilt my Budget Summary Widget using the new Widget style, and added lots of interactivity, including the ability to enter Budget Review, and iterate through the list of visible Expenses, if the list is longer than what's shown (added this to the Bills Due Widget as well 😉)
Only thing left for my iOS 17 Widget work is to bring back the green 'theme' from the current version.
Updated Test Flight coming tomorrow!

Dozens of people in Maui have died and hundreds have lost their homes because of wildfires, fanned by hurricane winds.
