I'm looking for people with Vision Pros to give me some feedback on the PCalc About screen. I think it's at the point where it's fun to play around with (if still wildly pointless). You can join the beta here:

@daringfireball they talked about a 7-season treatment when they pitched it. if this Star City move was the other side of 5 core seasons, I love it even more.

Recommendations for a daypack that A) is able to be stashed into a larger carry on backpack, and B) can carry a MacBook around during the day? Ideally packs and smushes quite flat when empty, but a bit of padding for the laptop

Thinking Osprey Daylite/Arcane, Aer Go Pack, etc.

I agree with @everything in his post on the forums: https://forums.swift.org/t/asyncstream-and-actors/70545/4

My take: Swift Concurrency has gone from being somewhat understandable to being really, really hard to apply and understand properly.

I get that we can stick with Swift 5 language mode, but none of us wants to do that.

I hope that WWDC brings some understandable instruction alongside improved tooling, because right now we're all reliant on @mattiem sharing what he has worked out (thanks Matt!).

jpurnell,
@jpurnell@mastodon.social avatar

@tonyarnold @krzyzanowskim @everything @mattiem Honestly, after the “Combine Feint,” as a hobbyist/semi-pro, I’ve just backed away from implementing Concurrency altogether, and just focused on SwiftUI, where at least the progress has been close to linear. (1/2)

jpurnell,
@jpurnell@mastodon.social avatar

For my crowd, I would love a Big Nerd Ranch book on ecosystem-wide SwiftUI app development that doesn’t really go further than async/await, and then a separate book on Advanced Swift that goes deep on the big stuff behind Swift 6. Trying to piece things together from occasional articles and forum posts is just leaving people behind. (2/2)

jpurnell,
@jpurnell@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem That’s almost exactly my point. Async/Await was pushed out right after Combine and the messaging seemed like all we had to do was throw a little sugar on our existing functions and get Concurrency magic.
But by the time I got the message and got the mental energy to walk away from Combine…what seemed like a slightly more cross-platform approach to the same thing turned into “Here Be Dragons,” and now there isn’t a line between BNR Intermediate book and Eidhof Deep Dive

jpurnell,
@jpurnell@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem Honestly, I’m excited to take the leap, but after the last four years of half-steps and side-quests, I just want one narrated experience with an end-to-end curriculum on “the new approach,” instead of hoping I’ve followed the right people and pieced together the right articles (yours are really helpful though!)

jpurnell,
@jpurnell@mastodon.social avatar

@mackuba @mattiem Yep…I feel like I’m lucky I only glanced at everything and haven’t pieced together a mental model that’s full of off-by-one errors.

Dying to know the capacity of the Apple Vision Pro battery. In MKBHD's video he lists 3166 mAh on the back. I'm really curious what the Volts are, because if it's ~4V like the iPad that would be very small (12 Wh) so I doubt it

For reference the 12.9” iPad has a ~ 10000 mAh battery at 4V for a total of 40 Wh, so if the Vision Pro battery is around that, that would put it at 12V or so. That would be awesome because you could then triple your battery life with a normal 100 Wh external battery

jpurnell,
@jpurnell@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig @siracusa yeah you only need to hot swap your extra battery if you’re on a long flight. The main battery is the backup.

@dimillian @IceCubesApp For marketing shots, are you just increasing the canvas size from your simulator shots? Literally the only thing I still have left to do, and it feels like there should be a better way?

I am extremely knowledgeable about macOS development, Objective-C and Swift. My experience runs the gamut from 1996 when I started working at Apple, to now, when I run a Mac-only software biz. I don't really want a job, but I want you to know I can be bought. Pay me a lot and I'll teach you a lot.

@danielpunkass ngl, I’ve been thinking the last few months how I just want an actual class, maybe 4 people who’ve done enough to publish something, but still need a bit of a curriculum to have a breakthrough. WELP

My favorite two announcements of the day: the ability to apply portrait mode in post, and spatial video on the 15 Pro models.
