    I’ve been trying to master the tools I use on a daily basis better. Some of that is learning how to do things with them that I don’t know how to do them presently. Β For example β€œvalidate and prettify this JSON”. Β Usually it’s a quick trip to some json linting service online, copy/paste/validate. I know it can be done locally and I’ve done it locally in the past, but muscle memory takes time to retrain. But if I can manage it one task at a time, I’ll be a pro in no-time.

  • Figured Out Music Pausing When Running with my Apple Watch

    Jul 19, 2020
    by James

    I’ve been trying to debug an issue when my Apple Watch where Β announcements from Siri cause Overcast to pause. The only way to resume it is to go back into Overcast and hit play.

    Before my most recent run, I synced some music on to my watch and the experience with Runkeeper was much smoother. As expected, when pace/time announcements start the music fades to half-level then fades up to the regular level when siri finishes as expected. So it seems like the music pausing may be a bug in Overcast’s handling of siri announcements or Music having access to some APIs that regular devs don’t.

    On second thought, most podcasts are spoken word and listening to Siri and your half-leveled podcast simultaneously would be a poor experience, so it’s makes sense that it pauses playback when Siri starts. However, it would be nice if it resumed when Siri finished.

    Being able to drag and drop files to/from other Macs when screen sharing and having it "just work" like a local drag/drop is such an unsung feature.

    部活です。 4km is a bit harder when it’s warmer out. But still had a bit of juice left at the end.
