Up early Tuesday, lots going on today... But can't shake the feeling that it's Saturday for some reason.

I've mostly backed off political blogging, instead channeling my frustrating into work to make Micro.blog better for more people. But enough with anyone buying an AR-15 already! Beto is right on this. Texas deserves a governor who cares this deeply about making things better.

Congrats to @conradstoll on Grocery 3.0! The app keeps getting better. Nice review over at MacStories too.

Fixing some issues that could add duplicate posts in the timeline that some folks have run into this week. Hopefully. 🤞

Driving to the coffee shop to work this morning, noticed I had a full tank of gas and briefly considered missing my exit and continuing on to Houston for the rally against gun violence. But too much to do today. Thoughts still with the families and everyone advocating for change.

Folks seeing duplicate posts in the timeline, usually after editing a post quickly: I finally got to the bottom of this. Working on a fix to roll out shortly. Removing should also be more reliable now. (The duplicates are only in the timeline... No need to delete from Posts.)

I was going to write a longer technical post, but instead here's the bug summary from last week in a nutshell. I updated M.b so that editing a post's date changes its URL (good!) but it was too aggressive about changing the URL unnecessarily (bad) which conflicted with what we call "instant publish" that tries to update the timeline immediately when possible. This caused duplicate entries in the timeline, and other confusion with clearing them up. Should all be working much more smoothly now.

These few sentences from Nick Heer at Pixel Envy are probably the best and most concise wrap-up of the week. There's a lot we could do to make things better, but nothing will be enough without addressing the root issue.
Three full days of conversations about how many doors are on buildings is unhelpful and distracting. Blaming social media is probably just as ineffectual, though it is one avenue for deeper beliefs to spread. There is a single policy area where changes must be made first: guns.

Planning to release the next version of Micro.blog for Mac in a couple days. It adds reply editing and a new multi-window interface for managing books you're reading. If you'd like to give it a try, here's a beta download link.

Finished reading: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. Brilliant. I loved this. 📚

On the latest Core Intuition, @danielpunkass and I remember that we're actually programmers and talk about debugging AppKit, compare it to other frameworks, and then discuss the long-postponed effort to migrate away from legacy WebViews.
