I tend to tidy and reorganize as I read: Rename variables, extract intermediate values as named variables, group lines into stanzas, extract named functions, add missing doc comments, maybe add a few tests for something confusing or that I suspect to be broken…

That way, when I come back to it again, it’s a lot less work to follow. I only have to struggle once.

A lot of English speakers feel like English spelling is bonkers, too. Spelling and script reform just never overcame inertia for long. There were some solid tries with Deseret, Pitman phonography, and Shavian, though.

(FWIW I read the LL as a digraph that happens to be pronounced the same as a single L, rather than one silent L and one spoken.)

New build is up.

Well, it worked the second time. New build is live. :D

It actually uploaded this time when I tried again. Now I'm waiting on Apple to greenlight distributing it via TestFlight.

This is fun. Totally kicked off the Machiatto upload hours ago. Come back 5 hours later and it's still authenticating with the App Store. Such authentication. Very drugged-up carrier pigeon.

See parent post. Expecting to get a build up tomorrow (US Eastern).

I would love for my sites not to ask me to redundantly paste my generated password into a second field.

(And for the owners of sites that block paste to spontaneously combust.)

Ah crud. I probably won’t be able to do a build till Monday evening US Eastern at earliest (barring magic with VNC from an iPad). I have the TestFlight version on my iPad, but I’ve been using that for other things lately. :(

It’s actually weirder than expired, though - it’s acting like I have never uploaded a version at all! I wonder if this is undocumented fall-out from my distribution certificate expiring. Apple’s docs said nothing about TestFlight invalidation. :(

Wait, what do you mean, “No Builds”?!

When nations lined up well with ethnicities.

I’m going to guess there weren’t a lot of insulting jokes about Austro-Hungarian Empire citizens, but now that we’ve got separate Austria and Hungary, game on. >.>
