@bigzaphod I remember during high school (23 years ago, lol), we designed PCBs using CAD-like software to draw the circuit and a special printer to print it. We then inserted the resulting circuit in a chemical liquid for hours and dried it.

It was always fun at the next lesson to showcase which circuits worked, which did nothing and which emitted fumes ๐Ÿซ

Itโ€™s unacceptable IMO that tvOS apparently doesnโ€™t allows apps to use persistent storage. For instance, the new RetroArch game emulator has to store all your savegames, screenshots, ROMs in the Caches directory, which the OS may purge at any time without warning. poof

โ€œyour app can only access 500 KB of persistent storage โ€ฆ Outside of this limited local storage, all other data must be purgeable by the OS when space is low.โ€ https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015241-CH12-SW1 Why even sell the 128 GB Apple TV then?

Mastodon feature question of the day: why can't I 'follow' or 'subscribe' to a toot? Like if I somebody asks a question and I want to keep up to date with that people answer to it, why can't I subscribe to that toot so I get a notification if somebody comments something.

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@deurman I also asked the same question in the past, it doesnโ€™t make any sense that only the author can know when someone answer a toot

So my wife deleted FB & Instagram apps and decided to use them only on computer to avoid getting trapped. Works well except thereโ€™s just about half the stuff you just canโ€™t do on Instagram on the computer (add a music to a post etc).

We settled on installing the evil apps on a secondary phone (Swiss SIM). Itโ€™s really hard to just post some stuff and not get drawn again in the infernal feed. Glad I left this world. Even gentle Mastodon is causing addiction issues for me.

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@santiago This is true; Instagram is also the last โ€œsocialโ€ app I use.

I put a 10-minute time limit on it to avoid spending time watching stupid reels: This way, I have to spend those precious minutes only to see the updates from my real friends.

I honestly donโ€™t know how people can use Mastodon without a client that automatically expands CWs. I understand one can have triggers to avoid but there are just so many that without this option Iโ€™d be just tapping 20% of the messages passing by because they mention one thing or another. Filtering keywords makes more sense. I guess if you auto expand CWs but filter some words in the same CWs itโ€™ll work fine.

Does launching a build with the debugger attached on Vision Pro take forever for anyone else? It's near instant on the simulator, but even after the data is transferred to the device, the actual launch screen hangs out for like 10 seconds (so I don't think dev strap would help?)

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@stroughtonsmith @christianselig but there was also a time after that, when Xcode run with the debugger by default and everything was also instant ๐Ÿ˜…

Can someone at Google please disable the fucking automatic translations for the developer pages?

My Italian colleagues and I always have to manually disable the translation every time we open an Android developer page; I'm sure there will be a KPI showing higher engagement, and the PM of this change will be super-happy instead of worried about ruining the product.

What's the point of Xcode having plugins if I'm being punished by those screens?

I also like how they imply that only Apple's code is of superior quality; as we all know, Xcode is a very stable and powerful IDE. /s

Quick question: what are you hoping for Apple to reveal at WWDC this year? Iโ€™m writing a piece and itโ€™d be useful to get insight into improvements devs and anyone else hopes Apple makes or new things it introduces (and how they are achieved).

Folks who squash their merges, Iโ€™m curious why you are making that trade-off. Iโ€™m guessing the pro argument is a cleaner merge graph?

The big argument against it for me is that you lose granularity for git bisect. I've often been able to narrow down breakage (sometimes long past the merge) due to individual commits in the merge. If I'd merged in a giant blob all I'd have had to go by is that giant blob. (1/2)

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@dgregor79 @fabianfett @finestructure In this case there are two solutions:

  1. history was important for the commits on this branch, so squash should not be used (or at least they should be squashed in a better way, by leaving this particular commit)
  2. create another PR for the workaround and have it tracked as a different issue

It's the time of year when new super-fast iPads are released, but they are held back by the current iPadOS version, which will surely be fixed with the changes that will be announced on WWCD. Then September will come, and everyone will realise the iPad is the same mess as always.

dzamir, to random
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

This is why I havenโ€™t bought any new iPads in the last six years. Sharing an iPad with the family is an abysmal experience, and it doesnโ€™t make sense to buy an iPad for each family member.

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@riotnrrd The fact that you don't have use cases for giving an iPad to your child doesn't mean that many other people have a use case to give their iPad to their spouse or their young or older child.

Btw I also want Screen Time and better multi-user support controls on tvOS. I really wanted to go all-in in the Apple ecosystem and use Apple Arcade and Apple TV, but it's impossible to limit the time with this system; I bought an Xbox to solve the problem ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I still donโ€™t understand the hype around GitHub #CoPilot.

Like lots of AI, itโ€™s taking away the stuff that programmers generally enjoy (writing code) and giving us more of what we generally donโ€™t enjoy (code review).

Am I missing something?

While I really like my ๏ฃฟWatch Ultra, there are 2 things that irritates me.

Note: I need to wear it on my right wrist because of my tattoos on my left arm.

  1. I keep hitting the Action button long press when exercising (doing push ups, for example). At least I turned off the siren trigger.

  2. The crown is super sensitive and long sleeve clothes will turn it.

Am I wearing it wrong?

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@vandal I don't have an Ultra, but with my Series 4 I prefer to wear it the "opposite wayโ€to make it easier to push the buttons

Does anyone know of a really nice tool for doing presentations with a lot of code in them (including transitions, etc)?

I generally use Deckset because it takes care of syntax highlighting at least, but otherwise it's very limited.

Keynote can do anything, but only with a huge amount of fiddly effort put into each code sample and animation.

I ideally just want something that takes a markdown document as input and "magic moves" all the transitions for you automatically with minimal effort ๐Ÿ˜…

dzamir,
@dzamir@mastodon.uno avatar

@nicklockwood I use iA Presenter and love it a lot. It's super awesome for easily creating presentations in Markdown, but it's not the best for showing code (it works ok, but the formatting of the cod could be a bit better).
