heh, found something extremely niche: before a session would start at WWDC 2007, a little video loop would play on the lower third of the screens to show the different session tracks. haven’t seen this until just now:

look up “Azealia Banks” plus your birthday and it’s guaranteed to be some fantastic bullshit

where were you during this vital moment in culture

alright it took the better part of my weekend but I finally back-ported Mastodon to iOS 4

The full-res mockup. The nav bar has texture, avatars are sunken into the post card, everything is correct

kinda curious if I can even attach a 4K version here without it getting crunched down…

I just wanna retire and walk around the house with my phone flashlight always on and glowing through my chinos

The iPod touch was the first Apple product I bought with my own money in 2010. While there are many things I could say, I’ll just mention how cool these Flash-based web ads were for it.

(I’ll also mention that this was for my ninth birthday and I did not have a bank card, so the specialist had to count a bunch of loose change and singles up to $200 or whatever it was)

this is intended for the intersection on the #nyc and #tea venn diagram. if this does not apply to you, continue as you were.

alright now that they're gone, Kalustyan's (on Lexington) has such a killer assortment of teas. i was there this weekend and got a honey black tea flavored with bee pollen. it's delicious.

what’s the protocol for when there’s an Important Tweet? do you all want a link or just a photo

The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. PAFFACAA. Rolls off the tongue.

there is an additional hard problem in computer science: creating a monogrammer for avatar placeholders. how are you supposed to derive a few characters? first one or two characters in a string? what about first/last name? what about hyphenated last name? do you force capitalize it? what about names formatted in some other language that you haven't designed for?

samhenrigold,
@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io avatar

some strings you might have to create a monogram for with no clear solution:
"Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige"
"John Appleseed"
"Dr. Jonathan Maple Appleseed Esq."
"Père Jean-Philippe de Zélicourt"
"Dr. med. Max Mustermann junior, M.A."
"木田 泰夫"
"أحمد الراجحي"

samhenrigold,
@samhenrigold@hachyderm.io avatar

The naïve approach that I've seen quite a few times is just taking the first two characters and lobbing off the rest.

But now you have a bunch of monograms that look like “DR” or “JO” or “PÈ” which makes no sense as a monogram.

In Swift, PersonNameComponentsFormatter could be useful here. But when I was doing this for a web project, no idea what you’re supposed to do with nothing but some regular expressions and faith that you’ll have something serviceable.
