@twostraws

I'm amazed I was able to hang with everyone yesterday. Thanks for doing the live stream.

I needed to art today so I am trying my hand at icons. If anyone wants to release what we made to the App Store I made some (nicer than ChatGPT) AI assisted icons.

Have a fantastic Sunday and thank you.

@twostraws Well I guess I gotta finish the course then! 😂 That’s what I get for looking ahead.

New: Build your next website in Swift! I recorded and transcribed the talk I delivered at try! Swift in Tokyo, which shows you how Swift's result builders can be used to generate HTML. It also explains why I created the Ignite project 🙂 https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/266/build-your-next-website-in-swift

The most dangerous thing about ChatGPT is how utterly certain it is.

@twostraws Yet again showing that LLMs have no actual understanding of facts or logic.

twostraws,
@twostraws@mastodon.social avatar

@bradsaillard Yes. To be fair, they don't claim to have either of those things, folks just ascribe them based on some examples.

If you, like me, really disliked the glow / blooming on the M1/M2 iPad Pro display, you’ll be pleased to know it’s gone in the M4 🙌 I’m not sure how much it will be visible, but here’s a side by side comparison of new and old.

@twostraws I bought the first iPad with HDR and returned it almost immediately. Could not stand local dimming.

@darrarski@mastodon.social avatar

@twostraws @dimsumthinking good point! Did you try PaperLike? It made me use the pencil much more on my Pro 2018, it’s just a way better experience imo. I heard that nano-texture glass gives similar vibes. Not sure if worth upgrading though.

I've just listed the first five watch parties on the WWDC Community repository! If you're organizing or attending one, please do open a PR to add it to the list – these watch events are a great way to share the excitement and make friends! https://github.com/twostraws/wwdc

First words holding the M4 iPad Pro: “holy **** that’s thin.”

Second words, half a minute later: “that’s just absurdly thin.”

Third words, another half a minute later: “the new Magic Keyboard is so much nicer!” Thinner, lighter, better materials 🤩

This is a big upgrade 👍

twostraws,
@twostraws@mastodon.social avatar

@endareth No. In the Mashable review they played a video on loop at 50% screen brightness, and it lasted over 16 hours – that’s more than enough, even for heavy usage. Heck, even 8 hours is enough for a long iPad session.

@twostraws how is that possible? The old magic keypunch oops I mean keyboard is the best keyboard I ever used since the IBM 029 keypunch 🍸🙀 (and also the most I ever paid)

Tomorrow @mikaela__caron and I record the next episode of @swiftovercoffee, and we want your views on our next open ballot: is Swift Evolution working? Is it going in the right direction, do you follow along, do you discuss features in review? Let us know by replying below 👇

@twostraws @swiftovercoffee @mikaelacaron It’s going so well that I wish Apple Frameworks had evolution

@twostraws @swiftovercoffee Swift Evolution is great!
One of my favorite recent examples is https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0414-region-based-isolation.md which is based on a research paper and pitched by one of the authors.
So the proposal is community driven AND it helps the transition to Swift 6 without the need for new syntax.

I had a proposal accepted (SE-0320). It’s a small thing, but process was great!
I got excellent feedback from Apple (Itai Ferber and Tom Doron) to get the proposal and PRs in shape for the review.

Hacking with Swift+ subscribers: I started a new series of videos called "Learn something new". Each weekly installment picks an interesting Swift topic to dive into, either explaining how it works, or giving you tips for using it effectively. First one: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/learn-something-new/using-codable-with-protocols

@twostraws nice tip 👍

@twostraws

I can't thank you enough for how much I've learned from your over the last few months.

I was going to wait till I finished the 100 days to subscribe but I feel like I can handle more Swift now so the subscription is not being wasted on me.

Have a fabulous day!

It took me longer than I would have liked, but I've just finished updating the GitHub repository for Hacking with iOS, so all 19 of the projects are now targeting iOS 17, matching the tutorials. Apologies for the delay! https://github.com/twostraws/HackingWithSwift

An iPad keyboard with an escape key? I'm in! (A remapped Caps Lock just isn't the same…)

I'm having an "I want to throw my Mac out of the window" kind of day. I hope yours is going better 😅

@twostraws OMG, this is such a simple fix. Just uncouple the diaphragnee from the fluffnivalve. Hey presto! Funk.

@twostraws I did lose 1 hour this week with simulators that refused to start. It required, in addition to the XCode derived data incantation, a System Settings>General>About>storage settings>Developer(info)XCode Caches(click/highlight)>Delete…(plus confirm sheet) spell. Thank you StackOverflow
