One of my more common frustrations with SwiftUI is the frequency with which its declarative nature prevents you from tying extra code logic to a user interaction.

Sure, something like NavigationLink or ShareLink (the latter having been introduced in iOS 16) should be enough, but what if I need to run arbitrary code at the point that the user taps on them?

I look forward to the day that I won’t have to jump through weird hoops or wrap UIKit. Today, sadly, is not that day.

@jeff thanks for posting this. I am considering rewriting my React Native side project in Apple technologies. I had heard last year that SwiftUI still had rough edges, and this confirms it's still the case. Plus, I'm very much a top-of-the-adoption curve person: I just want to be able to build features with well-documented APIs. This gives me confidence to proceed with UIKit

    @NanoRaptor the worst part was when you ran out of just one color of bits you had to replace the whole cable!

    I swear to god the Yarn (classic) workspaces documentation is the most confusing shit ever. Full of conflicting statements about how it works / what to expect.

    @thisismissem totally. At one point I couldn't figure out how lockfiles worked in either yarn or npm. I asked both maintainers. After I got an answer from yarn I had to update the docs to make sense. I never understood the answer from npm.

    Alan Shepard became the first American in space in 1961, a flight that lasted 15 minutes and took him 101 miles above the Earth.

    His Freedom 7 capsule was carried atop the Redstone Launch Vehicle, along a trajectory calculated by mathematician Katherine Johnson.

    Takeoff of the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle at Cape Canaveral LC-5, with Shepard's Freedom 7 capsule on top. It was adapted from the Redstone Ballistic Missile used by the army. The rocket is white and shaped like a candle, slightly broader at the base. The top segment, just below the capsule, has black and white vertical stripes. Red scaffolding is in the background and the Florida coast stretches out behind it. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and space beckons just beyond.
    A black and white photo of Katherine Johnson sitting at her desk, working on a calculation. An analog adding machine is on the desk in front of her, at the top of a large sheet of paper covered with numbers. A multi-axis globe is in the top-right corner of the desk. Johnson is wearing a white dress with short sleeves and a collar. She has glasses on, and is staring intently at the page on her desk.

    I'm still working on the season five premiere of "Computer Chronicles," which is all about the . One of the interesting side-stories is that this may have been the accidental birth of "Sherlocking." Although to be more precise, actually Sherlocked itself.

    In 1987, Apple decided to spin off a number of its first party apps into a subsidiary called Claris, a company that is still around today. But Apple CEO John Sculley decided not to give to Claris, declaring it an essential part of the Mac operating system (which was a bit of a stretch). Instead, Apple gave HyperCard away for free with new Macs, which was probably the smarter business move.

    Claris later became known for the database product FileMaker, and actually changed its name to FileMaker Inc. for several years before reverting back to the Claris name.

    @ChronRevisited ime one reason Apple gave away HyperCard was that that was part of the contract creator Bill Atkinson established with them; he wanted it to be an exchange medium for people to create with, so it had to be free in the box.

    I did a good amount of HyperCard research recently; some notes and links to other resources here: https://user-modifiable.codingitwrong.com/
