A one line code change inside iOS made me waste 5 minutes
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoAnd of course the real problem is not any change Apple made, but rather: > I’m not using a CMS to manage the content of the site
- Arainach 3y agoThe author wrote a brittle script making a lot of assumptions about a product that they're not paying for and that has no API contract and.....wants money for that? I feel like the term "entitlement" is thrown around way too much but is appropriate here.

- jeffrallen 3y agoI suspect this is the 200th case of random crap breaking he's dealt with this year, and he's had it. I know I have. It's why I try not to use Node.js, and why I install every Python app with its own venv, and why I have 6 different versions of Python (including 2.7) in my home directory. I miss backwards compatibility and the respect it shows for users.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoWow. I suppose Apple should start giving out gift cards for every time a phone or Mac is updating. That’s 10 minutes of my time wasted, so I want $10. This author’s very blog post wasted 3 minutes of my time. Where’s my $3?

So I spent a couple hours remembering how to add a configuration option to keep the old way for those guys: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/pull/1425 https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/pull/1425 Circles get a diameter, arcs get a radius.

- anigbrowl 3y agoI too am wondering why one would ever use capitals in a file extension.
- tedunangst 3y agoBut where's the evidence it was a one line change? The assumption seems to be somebody fired up Xcode and changed some string from "heic" to "HEIC" for the giggles. There can be other causes and reasons though.
