My only WWDC 2024 wish: that iPad Simulators don't come with the “News" widget showing by default.
I don't want to have to see TFG's mug every time I try to do some work, thank you.

@layoutSubviews No Fox News in the defaults would be nice but I’m sure they paid well.

I'm not sure whether I love or hate this micro toggle.

bgannin,
@bgannin@mastodon.social avatar

@marcel It’s cute but many will not realize the whole control is tappable since they are trained to think it’s the toggle specifically by the rest of the platform. So they will try to precisely tap there and be anxious versus a 40+ pt tap target.

bgannin,
@bgannin@mastodon.social avatar

@marcel A suggestion: no micro toggle, when there’s no location look gray with “No Location” placeholder then when tapped it turns blue/tint color with a short location name (city level perhaps?) That conveys everything in the interaction and includes more context for the post.

bgannin,
@bgannin@mastodon.social avatar

@michaelsteeber @marcel I’m thinking of the precise location button on the permissions prompt but it works there given the narrow context. You are right that it blends into the tags but if the tags are also toggles it wouldn’t be that out of line.

    @schwa Have you tried Sequence Diagrams on the Mac App Store? It’s both cheap and usable in my experience given the robust sample doc they include.

    In Xcode 15.4, SPM now auto-generates Swift symbols for catalog assets.
    That's great! Except they're declared internal, therefore they're useless in a package whose sole purpose is defining a Design System 😕

    A tricky part of being a solo developer is that there is nobody to review my code. So a trick I've developed is to do a review myself but in a different tool from my daily Git setup. The context switch helps me to pretend I’m analyzing someone else’s work.

    Previously I'd export diffs into Kaleidoscope, but I recently discovered Juxtacode, which works better for me. It’s a Git-native Diff tool. I can easily pick any 2 commits to compare and navigate changes. Recommended.

    After just 30 minutes, 10 people have said they are seeing similar issues. If this is any indication of the issues the general user base of Safari is seeing, then Safari is having a really rough time these days and this needs to be a priority to address.

    Is the expectation really so low that changing a nappy, or helping them fall asleep, be considered exceptional parenting from a dad? 🤨

    While I'm complaining about Siri devices, it still blows my mind that HomePod, a product that has existed for over half a decade and is marketed as a speaker for your Mac, cannot pause audio in Apple's own apps without a 5 second delay

    Biggest wishlist item for Xcode Simulator this year: quality settings for screen recordings. I send many, many draft videos through iMessage while collaborating on design ideas and flows, and I’m forced to either compress them all through Handbrake first or let them fill my SSD. The files are huge

    I just got to reading the #SwiftLang benchmarks post, seems like a really nice project?

    What struck me most again is the strong FOSS deficiency Apple has. Claims are that "The Swift community … Swift Foundation, SwiftPM, SwiftNIO, and Google Flatbuffers, … embraced" it. I literally don't know any community project which has embraced it.
    3/4 are Apple projects and the other one is Google. Such statements are not helpful, IMO.

    But the project looks nice! https://www.swift.org/blog/benchmarks/

    bgannin,
    @bgannin@mastodon.social avatar

    @helge The package isn’t Apple. So your argument fails on premise. Regardless of adoption so far. There are many people contributing to Swift beyond Apple.

    i've been hearing a lot from folks on here who are frustrated with git (for many good reasons!)

    but I'm curious about the opposite perspective: if you've worked with more than one version control system over the years and you prefer git, I'd love to know:

    a) what other systems have you worked with? (hg? svn? p4?)
    b) why do you prefer git?

    notes:

    • please no replies about why you think git is worse
    • interested in answers other than "because I have no choice"
    bgannin,

    @b0rk I like the extensible nature of git (in some ways at least) and how git-lfs was able to be developed and added to alleviate the large blob problem common in VCS. Mercurial’s internals didn’t facilitate it and also didn’t have a user base large enough to justify investment. Shipping firmware or other large embedded files with only their pointers in the repo is a win IMHO (albeit a fragile dependency on a storage bucket but good trade-offs for general performance.) SVN kept the full files.
