Is it possible to test some of the longer currencies in the StoreKit debugger in Xcode?

The purchase simulator returns "IDR 2" for a Product.displayPrice on a $1.99 price point in Indonesian Rupiah: it should be "Rp 29,000.00". Similarly, "₫2" for "₫39,000.00"

These longer display prices are likely to break purchase view layouts, and you can't test them in Xcode or TestFlight. Testing in production for a country you don't live in!

And I hate the `product.displayPrice + "00000000"` workaround.

I have a talk idea brewing about our ability to evaluate technology as being "good" (or at least "effective at what it's meant to be doing"), and how generative AI is the first real "basic" technology that evades our (mathematical) ability to measure success or efficacy

TWO QUESTIONS

a) what kind of place would accept that talk?
b) how detailed will my discussion of the halting problem need to be?

Mastodon users, you might want to check out the "timed mute" option, it's really useful! It lets you set a period (6 hours to 30 days) when an account is muted. It's handy for taking a break from someone.

To make a timed mute, you'll need to be using the website, web app or some third party apps. Mute as usual but before confirming the mute click "show options" and select a time period.

If you want to still get notifications from them, untick the "hide notifications" box.

Hi 👋 I have been seeing an OT for cervical/shoulder problems that are causing tremors and numbness in my fingers. He has recommended that I get a track ball similar to this one. It should help me to stabilize my shoulder and not have to move my hand. Can anyone who uses one tell me what they think of this brand, other ones I should consider or any information on them?
Thank you 🙏

If you avoid using an LLM, what are your primary reasons?

Mastodon only allows 4 options in polls and I know there are many more possible concerns.

If it's something else, like the spread of disinformation, mental health concerns, etc. reply with that.
