This one dev's custom toolchain is absolutely bonkers. Sure, it's optimized for a specific problem space, but this feels utopic.

Not spoiling the details (the video is full of delightful twists), but let's just say that two minutes in, the author casually mentions that the whole game is incrementally recompiled and hot-reloaded for every single keystroke in the code editor. It goes way, way crazier from there.

A fun/psychotic thing to do: copy the iOS 17 release notes into a note, and make them into a checklist. Now you can make sure you try out everything you're interested in!

Whoever worked on the 3D dynamic shadows cast by the virtual pen tool with Apple Pencil and the new iPad Pro… kudos. It’s so damn cool.

Did I just spend multiple days on centering toolbar items? Y-yeah. Turns out in an AppKit toolbar, either all items have a label, or none of them does. Setting an empty label leaves the view weirdly positioned.

The code is a big hack: it mutates AppKit-created constraints, finding them by item/attribute pairs. And to make sure the tweak re-runs whenever the toolbar item updates, I had to swizzle a method on the NSToolbarItemViewer private class.

But it works? 😅

Huh, how long has this been a feature?! In macOS Sonoma, if you hover the left edge of a window with a native sidebar: the sidebar will peak a little, allowing you to grab and expand it.

Tested in Disk Utility, Safari, Mail, Notes, so it's pretty standard. Never seen that before!

@Retcon β20 is out—it's a small update. Mostly bug fixes, but it does add this cute little palette for staging specific lines!

Anyone have any recommendations of small dev tools they’d recommend? iOS or macOS oriented…

#AppKit #swift and #xcode people, I have a puzzling issue in Sonoma.

I have an NSTextView inside an NSScrollview. I load about 800 KB of text data in the text view.

Scolling is slow and choppy.

I click the "Debug View Hierarchy" button in Xcode. I then press the "Continue Program Execution" button (without doing anything else).

My text now scrolls smoothly in its scroll view.

Any idea what is going on? What does the view hierarchy debugger turn on that makes my view useable?

It looks like iPadOS running on M4 has a “Secure Exclave” running an “ExclaveOS” 👀 Where’s the updated Apple platform security PDF? 😅

Here’s where I’m at with the data gathering for the Type Atlas. Still a lot to fill in, but it already has more than 7000 typefaces. (Note: this is just a preview, the URL is likely to change)

My assumption is that the main reason Microsoft's new Recall feature exists, is to collect massive amounts of extra training data for their LLM endeavours. That stuff is getting rare!

Yes, thank you #Xcode 🙃

Just found these Apple Maps navigation screenshots from 2013. Delicious.

Same as the first screenshot, except the app is open, instead of being on the lock screen. There's a turn notification on top, which has texture and styles to look like an actual road sign, to some degree.

i’ve been a hobbyist photographer for years (mostly not taking it professional because i’ve been too tired from my tech jobs).

i just randomly got a paid job after i posted photos of a restaurant i visited one day on instagram. 😅 kind of chuffed!

Does "flexibleSpace" in #SwiftUI for macOS not work correctly?

Anything besides a Spacer() that's required in the item?

@Cykelero @Retcon i'm shilling retcon over at twitter since that's where most of my social graph is (https://twitter.com/__justplaying/status/1788293496501055922) but seriously this app is the singlemost bull case for GUI apps. i just refactored a super messy branch into something much better with retcon + a bit of sourcetree + some CLI into a beautiful, mostly atomic set of commits, as it should be

I haven’t formed my thoughts fully, but I think about this often: running a more ethical, less extractive and capitalist business.

I’ve spent years doing this and what surprised me was the lack of appreciation for “doing things right”. I thought there was a certain audience (often, the indie web one) who would. but mostly what I’ve seen was heavily entrenched capitalism.
