@rjonesy Yeah, that stopped working around the same time.

@jgordonshare It’s not as if Apple gave any choice for JPEG, either. What does “metadata structure” refer to?
@juandesant Thanks.
@ccgus Thanks for explaining. Was wondering why no Mac apps seemed to support saving to HEIF.
@jgordonshare @ClarkGoble @OluseyiSonaiya @marcoarment Yes, it works great. 2 GB limit.
@jgordonshare @ClarkGoble @OluseyiSonaiya @marcoarment Only direct upload to the Overcast Web site.
@owensd Possibly. Maybe sandboxing blocks it somehow.

@foadafshari Just to be clear, do you have the ATV4 (Siri Remote) or ATV3 (silver slab)?
@steipete Or at least a better error message, since Apple TV 3 works elsewhere in Control Center…
@steipete Misread your tweet. The one before the 4K is Apple TV 4. I’m talking about version 3, the one that added 1080.
@steipete Yeah. For me it works with the Remote app but not with Control Center, which “searches” indefinitely. Saw… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

@grynspan @lapcatsoftware @stattenf I’m guessing it could work but that Bluetooth uses much less power.
@nicklockwood @jckarter @zats Of course, that can be a fine distinction. But, for example, I like Array.min() as a function.

@WestonHanners Same error. :(
@WestonHanners Yes, that one is already in the .pem from curl.
@WestonHanners I’m fetching feeds from 250 other https URLs, including some that I know use Let’s Encrypt, but your… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
@WestonHanners It does seem to be in the updated “cacert.pem” file that I downloaded from curl’s site. This is all… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
@WestonHanners I would be happy to fetch via plain http but the redirect foils that.
@WestonHanners I think Twitter removed the “https://”. It has always been part of my curl command.
@WestonHanners Downloading a new cacert.pem from curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract… and passing it in via --cacert does not help.
@WestonHanners It works on my Mac, but on my server “curl alloc-init.com/feed” reports an error 60 sending me to curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.…
@nicklockwood @bob_burrough @charlesismcom Perhaps they realized the convention was a bad idea, as @ksegall and others have argued.
@WestonHanners FYI, “curl” is giving me a SSL certificate error when trying to access your site’s RSS feed.
@etresoft Starts at 3:40.
@peternlewis Looks like you’ve been busy. Congrats!
Great story about Apple Maps: daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/20…
@McCloudStrife Yeah, seems like it would be more in need of it…but OTOH I never found Reachability to be a great solution to that problem.

@shepgo Yeah, wasn’t expecting it today. But at this point we don’t even know if there will be a new one in early 2018.

@OluseyiSonaiya @ClarkGoble I guess you’re talking about movies? Lots of TV not available with Netflix/Amazon subscription, or for rental.
@OhMDee @nickheer Thanks. That’s what I thought he said, but not sure how to square this with Disney news. I guess no 4K from them at all?
@OluseyiSonaiya @ClarkGoble Makes sense, but doesn’t really work for us because we don’t watch very much.
Free video upgrades from old HD to 4K: good. But does that mean no 4K price increase for new videos? Or that HD ones become more expensive?
@OluseyiSonaiya @ClarkGoble Yeah, wish I’d done that then. Really don’t want to split my video library, though.
@ClarkGoble @OluseyiSonaiya I was surprised by the Apple TV stuff as well. This really did nothing to convince me t… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
Still have no idea what I’d do with an Apple Watch, but the new sport band is the first band that I’ve liked.
@invalidname Yeah. But I don’t want them to tie the price tiers to the size tiers. I want current tech in the comfortable form factor.
@rjonesy Do we know how fast wireless charging is in comparison?
Type “macOS 10.13 Ships 9/25” to really confuse Fantastical.
@invalidname Presumably. But if they’re really worried about it drawing sales, that doesn’t say much for the worth of the new 8/X features.
On the other hand, I fear they’ll remove the comfortable edges.
Sure would be nice to see an updated iPhone SE.
@morid1n No, but thanks.

@jckarter @owensd Yeah, I would have expected it to inline access to start index, etc., instead of calling through a witness table.
@owensd Your code seems too simple to be wrong. A quick look in Instruments seems to show a lot of protocol overhead…
@owensd Reallocating seems like a good guess. Why would you need a lot of ARC for Ints?
@owensd LL is not that surprising; I assume there’s ref-counting overhead. But two orders of magnitude slower for an array of Int?
@owensd Wow, I wonder why the Swift numbers are so bad.
@stuwillis Yes, still using for archives of projects and OS installations.
@stephenbraddy @betalogue Yep, I see that here, too. :(

@_karsten_ OK, thanks for the warning.
@_karsten_ They simply don’t allow rewriting at all? Which file system are you supposed to use?
@_karsten_ “Don’t handle rewrites” meaning that it’s slow? Or that the drives fail earlier if you write a lot?
@rkudeshi That looks like a great deal. Thanks.
