Pat on My Little Punkin’ Head<\/h3>\n

Last week, the live audience had to wait quite a while for the start of the show because I was having a very odd audio problem. As you know, I use a lot of products from Rogue Amoeba, and the problem seemed to be somewhere in the interaction between these tools and macOS Tahoe. The problem was that I could pipe the audio from my mic alone into StreamYard for the YouTube audience and Discord for the live chatroom, but I could not pipe both my mic and the audio playback from Hindenburg into the two live audience experiences. This setup has been working for several years, so I suspected that macOS Tahoe had broken something.<\/p>\n

I wrote an email to the Rogue Amoeba folks, and the response I got back from Aaron made me really happy. Don’t get too excited, we haven’t fixed the problem yet. Here’s why it made me happy.<\/p>\n

I started my email by giving him a little table of all of the apps I’m using from Rogue Amoeba with their version numbers, along with the fact that I’m running macOS 26.0.1.<\/p>\n

Then I gave a short paragraph overview of the problem. After that, I inserted screenshots of each of the apps from Rogue Amoeba and how I have them configured. You may have noticed that I’m fond of taking screenshots, and yes, these had nice, rounded borders on them.<\/p>\n

Rogue Amoeba has a support article about a known bug in macOS 26 that causes lost audio, and it’s related to mismatches in audio sample rates. I told him that I’d read the article, and I gave him screenshots of every audio input source, whether real or virtual, showing that every one was set to a sample rate of 48kHz.<\/p>\n

I gave him the steps I followed to test, and showed him that I’d tested in different audio recording apps like Hindenburg and QuickTime to ensure it wasn’t just a problem with the live show tools.<\/p>\n

Now to why Aaron made me so happy. Here’s what he wrote back:<\/p>\n

\n Thank you so much for the incredibly thorough write-up and documentation you sent over. You did a fantastic job explaining your setup and the exact steps you\u2019ve taken so far \u2014 I can\u2019t say enough how helpful that is. It made my job incredibly easy to follow what\u2019s happening.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He then talked about some tests he wanted me to run and log files to collect, and ended his email with:<\/p>\n

\n Thanks again for such an excellent and detailed report \u2014 it\u2019s genuinely appreciated.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I felt so great hearing that response. I don’t think anyone has ever given me so much praise for doing this much work to be clear and concise. I don’t need to be patted on my little punkin’ head all the time, but it sure felt good.<\/p>\n

I have a workaround for now that I developed, but I look forward to a solution soon from Aaron and the awesome team at Rogue Amoeba.<\/p>\n

PBS Tidbit 14: Coding with AI<\/a><\/h4>\n

I don’t mean to tease you, but in a few weeks, you’ll get to hear a really fun conversation Bart and I had about how he’s approaching AI. As will come as no shock to you, he starts from a position of privacy. We’ve already recorded it, but I’m saving it for a week when we’ll be out of town, so you have enough content for a full show.<\/p>\n

But this week we also recorded the flip side of how Bart’s using AI, and that’s how he uses it in his coding. This show is in the Programming By Stealth feed, but it’s what we like to call a Tidbit episode. These are episodes that aren’t part of the greater theme of learning to program but rather standalone segments of interest to the programming community.<\/p>\n

If this sounds interesting, you can find the episode in your podcatcher of choice by searching for Programming By Stealth, or you can find it at the link in the shownotes to pbs.bartificer.net\/…<\/a>. It’s called Tidbit 14 of Y: Coding with AI.<\/p>\n

Support the Show<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is the time I normally panhandle for money, but there’s another way you can support the show. We’re going to be going on a few trips here and there between now and the end of the year, and we’re getting our house recarpeted (which is like moving) and of course there’s the holidays. If you’d like to help the show, consider making a recording about some gadget or software you’re enamored with. Heck you can even do stocking stuffer ideas!
