I decided to update my Swift FractionFormatter package to be more "Apple-like" while playing with Codex. A few prompts latter it is now much more complete and Swift-like. https://gitlab.com/davidwkeith/fractionformatter

Just got back from a trip to Vegas for some shows. Talked to many staff, performers, and drivers. They all said the same thing: foreign travelers have all but disappeared. https://www.yahoo.com/news/foreign-tourism-u-suddenly-reversing-162938981.html

Best I can tell, it takes about 30 minutes more to bring frozen butter to room temperature (20°C/70°F) on the west coast. These fat sticks still look weird to me.

Yeah! Love it. Having been on the iCloud web team I know they don’t get the love they deserve. But having used a Chromebook for work I know how important iCloud.com is for many people https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/07/apple-icloud-website-update-october/

Growing up poor with a garden and home canned goods meant we used our noses and common sense to determine if food was still good. Letting for profit food manufacturers tell you when to buy another bottle of ketchup without regulating science backed data was a bad idea. https://apnews.com/article/california-ban-sell-by-stickers-prevent-food-waste-0bec5ace8c88977591ac05c6791d84f7
