    @schwa I did that in a checkout line at a gas station years ago. The pressure of the jet made it roll right down the checkout line spurting three people with coca-cola. As a teenage kid that was top notch ego shattering embarrassing.

    @pixel Ooh. Great morning reading. I’ve a real soft spot for that company. It was sad to watch it falter as NT began to take the lunch of the UNIX Workstations.

    Does anyone know how Safari on the Vision Pro shows/hides its tab bar based on gaze?

    For the life of me, I cannot find any events that fire for gaze. There are the .hover modifiers in SwiftUI but those don't give you any control over what's presented.

    Are they using a private API?

    @Gte@mastodon.social avatar

    @praeclarum You don’t get gaze notifications due to fears (well founded) that Meta et. al. would use them to be super creepy. I’d suspect SPI but it could just be in a control that hasn’t been made public yet not a specific event for gaze.

    @praeclarum I think I remember @stroughtonsmith exploring this in the Sim a few months ago.

    @WTL @rmondello @settern Ah! I grew up in Montreal and lived there for many years before I moved to Ottawa for work. It’s also a nice city but there’s a deep love in my heart for my home town.

    @schwa I think it’s the line join that’s tripping it up. CGLineCap. I’m not sure how it determines when to apply it though.
    Also — super cool!

    Experiments in movement in a visionOS immersive space using hand tracking to paint targets on the ground, and making a gesture to move there.

    It's pretty messy right now, but there might be something!

    Navigating around a virtual space by lines from your hands painting targets on the ground. Also, your hands are bananas, but that's a minor detail.

    new fear unlocked

    how are we supposed to implement the delegate pattern now in Swift?

    Gte,
    @Gte@mastodon.social avatar

    @krzyzanowskim @_tim______ Wait until they hear about AppKit.

    Jokes aside: this is a bit of a pickle. I’d think since the delegate would need to be called within the execution context of the actor it would need to be annotated as such? Typically a delegate answers questions and is synchronous to the caller. So the warning sort of makes sense? I’m not clear on how best to deal with it though.

    Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a woman. And it's my first that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.

    To all my siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂💖

    @atpfm @siracusa @caseyliss @marcoarment I’m quite confident speedometer and cameras (in addition to drivetrain function) is on a RTOS. You can reboot a Rivian infotainment and it’ll show a crappy speedometer number and camera feeds on a black screen the second you reboot it even as the infotainment is rebooting (this also works under a full car reboot too FWIW after about 2-3 seconds after initial “on.”)

    Gte,
    @Gte@mastodon.social avatar

    @siracusa @snazzyq I’m behind on ATP, and I’ll listen when I get a chance, but it’d be bananas to the point of being dangerous if it wasn’t an RTOS. There are commercial OSs available that can be customized to do what they’d need. I’ve a high regard for Rivian and I’d be shocked if they’d half assed something that important.

    Rising question at DOJ antitrust circles: if it’s fine for third parties to run their own app store on iPhones, why can’t they run their own operating system as well?

    Gte,
    @Gte@mastodon.social avatar

    @gruber @counternotions You’re joking (and it’s a very dumb idea) but I’m positive some PC OEMs did that with Windows and Linux(?) back in the day.

    Gte,
    @Gte@mastodon.social avatar

    @gruber @counternotions Yeah. I think BeOS was an option at one point? I recall it being around the time there were still a fair number of sorta viable desktop OSes. Linux, BeOS, NT/2000, Win95. At the time I thought that was cool and giving other OSes a shot. But Microsoft would punish OEMs that shipped non-Windows.
    My appreciation for product design has evolved a lot since then though. And doing that in a phone is a non-starter. (Ditto for macOS & iOS on one iPad)
