R1D26 Spinning My Wheels
I spent an entire hour trying to work through the issue I wrote about in my last post. Sadly, I did not make much progress.
I was able to convert multiple spaces to a single space, but I ended up also cutting off the first letter of all subsequent words in the process.
So hello world becomes hello orld, hello world becomes hello orld, and hello world its me lev becomes hello orld ts e ev. :(
This seemingly simple problem is giving me a lot of trouble. I think I am going to move on to the next problem and live with the fact that I don’t know how to do this in C (yet).
I asked on the freeCodeCamp forum for some advice so hopefully someone will come along and point me in the right direction. :)

And I have, again, fallen into a trap where I only post long essays to my blog that take days or longer to write. Oh, so many drafts that really go nowhere, because I wasn’t writing to tell a story, I was writing to have something to post. And it...

A big screen carries with it different UI expectations, and how that manifests itself in Apple TV’s Settings app, is that there’s always room for an additional hint about the thing you’ve just selected. So yes, I have been exploring Apple TV’s Settings aft...

Woke up. Went to gym. Lifted weights. Came back home. Showered. Had coffee. Turned on computer. Replied to some work stuff. Scrolled through some feeds. Highlights include “No way to find what I’m looking for, $service full of gen AI to prompt new slop, de...
