On est bien d’accord que les calories des biscuits au chocolat bio ne comptent pas ?

Yesterday MGSV’s realistic, immersive world was suddenly overtaken by shadow monsters, so last night I had a zombie-invasion nightmare, yay.

Twenty minutes figuring out why my app didn’t detect the Apple TV’s remote. I’d started the app from Xcode so the remote wasn’t connected.

It’s terribly distracting to have Jack Bauer go “whoa, whoa” every time I slow down my horse.

Non mais y’a un moment où Moffat doit finir par se faire virer, non ?

My feelings are hurt, Radar.

Ma thermorégulation est tellement foireuse que je frissonne de voir quelqu’un en T-shirt dans la rue en septembre #old

Je viens de me rappeler qu’il y a une saison entière où il fait si froid qu’on doit mettre des pulls à ses mains. Quel monde de merde.

GCHQ has the coolest codenames, though.

Je viens de répondre ★ à “How would you rate Tinder” parce que ça fait deux fois qu’ils me demandent, je n’aurai plus jamais de matches.

Ca fait plaisir de voir Jamie Lee Curtis — et Nick Jonas — mais Scream Queens a tous les mauvais côtés d’AHS:Coven sans aucun des bons.

Et c’est dingue, quand même, que Tom Hardy soit le maillon faible du film.

Fury Road est visuellement superbe (à part les accélérés à la noix) mais, euh… ça s’arrête un peu là ?

Bon, je n’arrive pas à configurer l’UI de l’app, mais au moins j’ai les icônes

Like, maybe I should never do VR for the same reason I should probably never do heroin.

I like how MGSV avoids the big-map-of-icons trope by displaying side-ops as a good old list. I hope someone at Ubisoft is playing it.

Bored with desert and jungle — can’t the next sprawling open-world game take place on an alien world?

I don’t remember Red Dead’s horse precisely, but it was better, right? D-Horse feels like driving a vehicle, not guiding a living companion. Oh, solved by enabling “Radio Control” in the settings.

The prologue is incredibly annoying but that’s a damn nice character creator #PS4share

I assumed iOS 9’s keyboard-trackpad would move the cursor letter by letter, not turn into a full-on mouse pointer. This is so not iOS-like.

Closed Xcode, launched Xcode-beta, it reopened my projects and started… doing to stuff to them. Nothing will ever compile again.

RT @Crame_: Le dentiste chasseur de lion, la journaliste anti-réfugié, maintenant le patron de boîte pharma. La nouvelle mode est aux visages du mal.

I was glad to be done with the headaches of iOS 9-ing my apps — and now the builds are stuck “Processing” in iTunes Connect.

So. Tired.

RT @uniconsole: Good news! Looks like, in iOS 9, third-party keyboards can access their app’s info without “Enable Full Access.” You can turn that off now.

On-Demand Resources are great for keeping 16GB iPhones in stores, but will be awful for anyone ever needing to play offline.

Isn’t it inefficient that you have to manually update the position of each GameplayKit agent from Sprite/SceneKit for each cycle?

I’m watching the last WWDC’s GameplayKit sessions and the segments about AI are putting me to sleep. So that’s encouraging.

The fundamental problem with Force Touch and 3D Touch is that it relies on the assumption that uninformed people who accidentally happen upon the feature (by pressing too hard on a link or icon, because they’re in a bad mood or have imprecise motor control or whatever reason) will wonder what happened, ask around, figure it out and either be delighted or turn it off.

But that’s not how regular users work — especially when you’re at the point where each iPhone iteration sells hundreds of millions. Many of them will see their device behave erratically, both blame it and blame themselves, then carry on with their day, muttering “goddammit those fancy smartphones are stupid.” Maybe they’ll find out about 3D Touch months later, when it happens again in view of someone better informed — but by then the damage will have been done, they’ll have lost trust for their device.

It used to be that a Mac user’s first line of technical support was That Geek Friend / Family Member Who Had Made Them Buy A Mac In The First Place. But the iPhone is far too ubiquitous for that model still to work; many users don’t have a designated geek anymore.

It also used to be that Apple mostly avoided that kind of mistake.

Such an oddly missed opportunity that Snapchat doesn’t let you pay $1 to keep a daily selfie filter you really like.

Wonder if a Bittorrent client + video player would be allowed on Apple TV. I’m sure someone other than me will soon test those waters.

18 septembre

I can’t find the Apple TV dev kit’s NDA, so I don’t know if I’m allowed to comment on the remote (since it’s not software).

I got my first cannon! Look how cute it is!

Les impôts ont visiblement décidé de me créer d’office une entreprise parce que je déclarais des bénéfices sur la 2042C \o/

You can’t open a push notification in Slide Over, can you? That would have been the ideal use case.

I figured updating my app for iOS 9 would be easy and I could wait until public release to recompile and resubmit hahaha stupid fool.

RT @WillOremus: Snapchat is now @BuzzFeed’s third-largest traffic source: [businessinsider.com]

The lowercase keyboard’s letters are like two pixels higher than uppercase and I know why they did it but I feel it was the wrong choice.

RT @reneritchie: Reminder: When you install iOS 9, a lot will update, migrate, and index. Battery and performance will take a temporary hit. Give it a day.

RT @steve_holt: Reminder that with Xcode 7, now public, you can build any Xcode project and install it on your iOS 9 device with just an AppleID, free.

Safari View Controller will confuse users and, if you’re a dev, I still recommend just sending links to Safari. It’s asinine that going back from a web view to the original app will sometimes require you to tap the Done button in the upper-left corner, and sometimes hunt for the tiny “Back” link in the title bar, when both views look almost 100% identical.

Still, I’m speccing a great Apple TV game idea in my head right now, and I might just have the time to implement it before launch.

So it turns out Apple TV games will have access to fewer buttons on the remote than I thought (+/- are apparently reserved for volume control), and I love how the remote’s Menu button will pause the game while the Play/Pause button will end up displaying the game’s menu in most cases. (If you missed the news, while that wasn’t the case a week ago, current docs state that Apple TV games are required to be playable without a third-party gamepad. Even though Guitar Hero was announced at the keynote, so that’s a laugh.)

The way Apple always pays lip service to gaming then utterly fails to follow through is still infuriating.

If I could find a small desktop app I like for posting to Tumblr, I’d be running all my posts through it. So tired of editing down to 140.

Twitter’s about to be sued for shortening URLs in DMs. And they’ll probably lose or settle because, as idiotic as it is, it makes perfect sense from a legal standpoint.

For the first time in weeks I’ve opened Snapchat because I was curio—OH MY GOD I HATE THIS INTERFACE SO MUCH.

I didn’t get The Witcher 3 because if I like the story I won’t be able to put it down until I’m done (and I’ve got things to do, places to be), but I think I’m quite safe with MGSV. So I finally gave in to the buzz and ordered it.

Order for an Apple TV dev kit just went through. Now what kind of game can I whip out in a month — while I’m also swamped with client work?

C’est pas humain de repartir de Leroy-Merlin avec Miley Cyrus dans la tête pour le reste de l’après-midi.
