Conjecture: people like cruises because it's the only liveable, walkable community they'll ever get to experience in their lives.

My biggest Xcode 15 wish: a “Show/Hide Deprecated APIs” toggle that controls the visibility of deprecated APIs in autocomplete and/or the documentation viewer’s search.

In the documentation for every UIView/UIViewController/UIControl, there should be a section titled “Here's Why You Should Not Roll Your Own -- Things This Does You Haven't Considered”

Have y’all noticed the wackadoo backgrounds offered in Safari?

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 😕

Unfortunately iOS 17 fixed the “bug" where Siri would try to read out a notification written in French, but as English sentences.
I'll miss the hilarious mispronunciations, trying to decipher what the hell the original message is; It was a fun game.

iOS 17’s rain predictions are neat, but they completely break here in the Aussie heat.
Our national radar gets a bit noisy when it’s pretty hot, and Weather interprets these blobs as imminent showers, which is utterly wrong 😑

Working with SwiftUI brings me so much joy these days. What used to be tedious, verbose, and draining is now fun again.
I can tell designers “Yes!” rather than “Are you sure? That’s a lot of state to manage.”
I can change whole layouts in seconds, with confidence that AutoLayout will not barf all over my console on the next run.
I keep on finding new modifiers that make my life easier, and I am mostly delighted by the latest, opiniated API decisions.

In order to progressively migrate our remaining UIViewControllers to SwiftUI, I've gotten into the habit of subclassing UIHostingController in order to easily split responsibilities. So far so good.
Apple doesn't warn against subclassing, but I still have the feeling this is not kosher. Did anybody encounter issues with this approach?

This is both incredible & authentic sleuthing, but also a terrifying view into the hubris that some “big team apps” go trough in order to “enhance” the iOS experience, and end up shooting themselves in the foot as an unavoidable result.

@nicklockwood I could definitely see it being used as the background artwork for a Voodoo 2 clone box, with some kind of sexy wizardress in front of it

Great shot of the Aurora from Canberra on Saturday. It might be even better if it weren’t a cloudy night.

I might be biased but the flight paths for the final approach to land in SFO is my favorite. Often it crosses the bay, which is spanned by not one but several bridges, all visually interesting, then takes you right by the distinctive skyline of downtown San Francisco.

@saagar seeing planes take off just above you while driving on the 280 is also a great moment.

I watched a lot of in 80s and 90s and I've only recently started following it again a bit more.

Back then hardly anyone ever played stops on clay court (or other surfaces, mostly makes sense on clay to begin with, I suppose).

They seem to be very common now, I wonder why?

Probably not player skill and if anything players are more athletic and faster to the net. Is it because players hit harder and therefore tend to be further back in the court, becoming more susceptible to stops?

layoutSubviews,
@layoutSubviews@mastodon.social avatar

@finestructure and of course, it forces the opponent to never stray too far away from the net, making it more likely to hit a winner

@finestructure “stops”? You mean drop shots?

layoutSubviews,
@layoutSubviews@mastodon.social avatar

@finestructure I think it’s a combination of the gear getting better (rackets nowadays are to 90s rackets what they themselves were to 60s rackets) and players realising drop shots are incredibly effective at depleting the opponent’s stamina: even if they get to it and win the point, they had to expense a lot of energy to get it, more than if they just slugged the point comfortably behind the baseline.

I’m in Europe for the first time in years.
An odd thing I immediately noticed were the numerous & omnipresent contrails making the sky “polluted” with lines.
Living in Melbourne, we forget that we are lucky to be able to look at the sky in its untouched form (apart from the occasional SYD<->JSB overflying us).
Reminds me of how we’re hiding the Milky Way with light pollution.

I wanted to report an issue on Apple Maps to tell it a 2-way street is actually 1-way, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to report this specific type of problem with the data 😕
