I saw this article on Hacker News, and I've never felt more seen in my entire life. I gave away my iPad this year and I forgot until I saw this article - I always end up using my MacBook or my Thinkpad to get stuff done as the iPad is just utterly restricted at the software layer.
The next version (1.10.39) of #IceCubesApp will include a option to use Apple Translate as your primary translation source. If you had „always use DeepL“ set in the previous version this should be reflected after you’ve updated. @IceCubesApp #iOS#Mastodon
I don't have a ticket, but think I might head over for all the unofficial events. Don't know how many more WWDC's that I'll be on the same continent for so might as well!
I'm on a massive high from Deep Dish Swift and want to keep that energy going!
‘British newspaper groups have warned #Apple that any move to impose a so-called “web eraser” tool to block advertisements would put the financial sustainability of journalism at risk.
‘Apple is preparing to include an AI-based #privacy feature in the #Safari browser in the next #iOS 18 software update that will remove ads or other unwanted website content, according to reports.’ https://on.ft.com/4be4E5Y
Gram na IPad w Hadesa z Netflix z podłączymy kontrolerem i jest spoko. Zobaczymy czy mi się nie znudzi przez tydzień.
Może bym kupił używkę na Switcha… #nintendoswitch#ios#giereczkowo#gry
Tip of the day: There are many times we have to deal with documents that aren’t in our native language and in those cases, a translator becomes invaluable. For this, Apple provides a built-in translation you may not know or think about sometimes. Here is a short introduction. #ios#macos#tipofthedayhttps://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230124-translation
“To use for await item in streamOfItems {...}, you need an AsyncStream. It is very common that you already have an existing Combine publisher, and you want to use the nice Swift Concurrency syntax.”
Apple AirDrop has gotten much less reliable in the last year. It used to always work like magic. Now, it seems to fail half of the time on transfers between me and friends and between my own devices.
Also, the bump mega vibration screen ripple thing sends a contact card instead of the thing someone is trying to share often enough to never use it.
The only fix is both sides doing an airplane mode toggle. Annoying. Not magic.
I wish I understood why #swift and #iOS development has such a strong pull on me. I'm many months removed from the last time I worked on stuff, but I think about diving back in to learning Swift at least once a day.
#ios#shortcuts remain both very useful and infuriating to troubleshoot. Like when they work, it feels like AppleScript but when they don’t you sort of feel like a crazy person just staring at the screen.
Load sRGB image with alpha (see bottom “shadow” image with rounded-corners in SwiftUI preview)
Use CoreImage to composite over white
Get smaller, more “pointy” version
Cause: auto-conversion from sRGB to linear sRGB inside CoreImage is not happening, but the nodes are in the tree. Changing CIContext workingColorSpace to NSNull or non-linear sRGB “fixes” it — but can’t be used for correct compositing results. 🤯? #ios#swift#coreimage
