The “receipts” are styled according to the date of your visit. I had a little fun 🙂

I’m having a terrible time moving my Apple Watch to my new iPhone. Is there a trick to this? I missed the automatic transfer option, and unpairing from my old phone and pairing with the new phone just set it up as a new watch that wouldn’t connect to the new phone, so I had to erase it.

Ah this is unfortunate. When using a material with transparency in Reality Composer Pro, entities behind the surface tend to flicker. There is apparently a way to get around this (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/modelsortgroupcomponent) but it doesn't appear to impact rendering here. #visionOS

PSA: If you scheduled a covid booster through CVS, call to confirm they have the vaccine before you go to the store. I made an appointment last week but the store simply didn’t have any shots. (Why this was possible to schedule is beyond me.) Drove to two pharmacies today and went home with nothing.

Based on a busy weekend out, I am perhaps the last hold out still wearing a mask in Wisconsin (other than a few restaurant employees). This applies both to deep rural towns and urban areas like downtown Milwaukee. I don't know what to do at this point. I simply have no interest in stopping other than that I just feel like a clown out there now. It's never been a burden to me, and the stress of a packed building without one is still higher than the social pressure to take it off.

I'm working with NavigationSplitView that has a NavigationStack in the detail view. When I push another view onto the stack, the list selection switches focus inconsistently. Is this expected? A bug? The behavior is slightly different on macOS. (Also: prototyping a new layout for iPad 🤫) #SwiftUI

There's one kinda ugly hack in the app right now that I'm really struggling to solve. If anyone knowledgable with #mapkit can help, I’d appreciate it. This problem appears to be #visionOS specific.

Updating state of a map can cause the entire app to freeze. In order to adjust settings, I need to destroy the Map() until the sheet disappears. I'm occasionally able to crash the app just by switching focus to a different window.

This is a problem in Facades as well, and the code works on iOS.

I’ve kept my move goal comically low for years, and this is exactly why: here’s my calorie burn for the day after painting the house for 8 hours straight with no breaks (didn’t run a workout).

I haven’t been able to upgrade phones since the 12 cycle, so I haven’t tried Apple Card Monthly Installments yet. Is there any reason NOT to choose it? What’ve people’s experiences been? I’m not planning on a trade in.

I use my kitchen scale for every single meal and am so sick of messing around with the flimsy, ugly Amazon Basics-tier models every company offers. I want the quality of a nice coffee scale, for food, and without any smart functionality. Finally found the Rosti Mensura, hoping this does the trick. As a bonus, it matches my iPhone.

I built a new filtering system for Facades that's really powerful. You can get super specific, like: "Stores that opened on original iPhone launch day" or "Vintage D stores in California that have a Pickup Counter."

Safari in OS X Yosemite included Twitter in the default favorites set. What a wild ride it's been.

When I registered for my Vision Pro demo yesterday, I received a text to prepare me for the demo and speed through some of the vision questions. This was super well done, just a seamless process. It felt like these demos had been running for weeks already, everything was so polished.

The Weather Lock Screen widget is returning a broken symbol for me, and I think(?) I might actually know what specific bug this is?

WeatherKit returns "snow" as the SFSymbol for snowy conditions, which isn't a valid symbol. It's "snowflake." I had to write an if check for this exact problem in a little WeatherKit app I've been tinkering with.

Does anyone have experience with medical second opinions? I've been working on some stomach issues, and after thousands of dollars of testing, was churned out of the system with just a pill and a "suspected" catch-all diagnosis. If I stay within the same hospital system, will my chart history inhibit my ability to get more help?

I don't want a Rabbit R1, but seeing videos of it reinforces how much I want to write software for extremely tiny, handheld hardware. I think about it almost every day. Is the Playdate the only accessible platform that allows this today?

I still can’t read Chinese proficiently. Starting to think this app isn’t good. That’s longer than high school!

Can anyone recommend a favorite USB-C to A cable? I’m using CarPlay in a vehicle with only USB-A ports.
