I write Swift and write about Swift, but most people prefer my dogs.

Just removed my M2 iPad Pro from its magnetic case and I’d forgotten how freakishly thin and light this thing is. I appreciate them making it even more so, but boy am I afraid of using it like this

@harshil The M4 would like a word 🤏

The UK elections being on the 4th of July will be extra entertaining for Americans. Especially Americans who have any clue who Count Binface is. https://mastodon.world/@CountBinface/112485661600596055

@designatednerd Surely as the world's pre-eminent politician, everyone knows who Count Binface is.

I’ve been to London a lot since I first came in the late 90s, and I always walk around for miles and miles.

This is the first time I’ve ever felt like I’m in any danger of getting a suntan.

@designatednerd If you get sunburned in the UK, everyone back home might laugh at you 😅

New: Build your next website in Swift! I recorded and transcribed the talk I delivered at try! Swift in Tokyo, which shows you how Swift's result builders can be used to generate HTML. It also explains why I created the Ignite project 🙂 https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/266/build-your-next-website-in-swift

The most dangerous thing about ChatGPT is how utterly certain it is.

@bradsaillard Yes. To be fair, they don't claim to have either of those things, folks just ascribe them based on some examples.

Request for help: how do I learn Mac software development?

I’m looking for is a list of the best resources. Including but not limited to:

  • YouTube channels.
  • Courses, paid included.
  • Blogs or other personal sites that will tell me what to do.
  • Podcasts? Though I don’t see audio as the ideal medium here.

Who’s the Wes Bos of Swift? Who will mainline me information as fast as I can absorb it?

If you, like me, really disliked the glow / blooming on the M1/M2 iPad Pro display, you’ll be pleased to know it’s gone in the M4 🙌 I’m not sure how much it will be visible, but here’s a side by side comparison of new and old.

@kylebshr Yep!

@dimsumthinking Plain. I don’t have the patience for screens that need cleaning instructions.

@benbloodworth The hardware is… gosh, I don’t even know any more. We passed overkill with M1, so this is overkill x2? 🤷‍♂️ This thing is faster than most Macs, and lighter than most Macs too.

I've just listed the first five watch parties on the WWDC Community repository! If you're organizing or attending one, please do open a PR to add it to the list – these watch events are a great way to share the excitement and make friends! https://github.com/twostraws/wwdc

First words holding the M4 iPad Pro: “holy **** that’s thin.”

Second words, half a minute later: “that’s just absurdly thin.”

Third words, another half a minute later: “the new Magic Keyboard is so much nicer!” Thinner, lighter, better materials 🤩

This is a big upgrade 👍

twostraws,
@twostraws@mastodon.social avatar

Here’s a side by side comparison of the old Magic Keyboard on the left, and the new one on the right. Much bigger trackpad, and I love the new metal design – it makes the old one feel a bit like the very first iPad case Apple launched 😅

@endareth No. In the Mashable review they played a video on loop at 50% screen brightness, and it lasted over 16 hours – that’s more than enough, even for heavy usage. Heck, even 8 hours is enough for a long iPad session.
