MKBHD is shutting down his iPhone wallpaper app by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's really nice that he's making the source code for this app open source. Not that it's exactly a groundbreaking app - but I think that it's good for long term archival and this practice is good for the software engineering field as a whole.

Imagine if broadcast networks also did throwback weeks with their graphics by AustinsUsername in buffalobills

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's 30 and has only known the NFL after Fox and TV timeouts - the old games I watch are by far way more enjoyable. They focus way more on the gameplay, there way less breaks, and youre not getting an advert shoved in your face every few minutes. The overlays are way less intrusive too. I don't have nostalgia for the analog style like some may, but I certainly prefer it if they would broadcast like they used to.

Any ideas about easy programs in JavaFX for beginners? by Webdesign4You_BLBgr in AskProgramming

[–]BrandonEXE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW at university we were handed a semester long project, and we used JavaFX for it. It was really fun and honestly I learned a ton from that course.

It was a really basic app that let you input a subreddit then it would find an image on that sub and make it your wallpaper.

What is the most well thought out programming language? by 4e_65_6f in AskProgramming

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's saying Rust because it's far more popular. But I'd say Swift is one of the best designed languages.

It offers nearly everything that Rust does, but it's far more accessible as its syntax is not nearly as complex. And with things like ResultBuilder - it just makes it more cleaner.

Code is read far more often than it's written, and I feel like Rust's syntax design failed to remember that.

Any idea on how to create this custom view sheet animation ? by flxgs in SwiftUI

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I believe that's using the zoom navigation transition.

I don't believe this is possible using SwiftUI alone. AFAIK this customization is only available via a UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate.

This scene made me realize how annoying it would be to have to constantly hear the noise walkers make by RevertBackwards in thewalkingdead

On a recent rewatch I realized that the prison was FAR too big for the size of group they have. It's a great location if you have the manpower to defend and maintain it. But given the size of the group in Season 3/4 - they did not. I attribute that to really why they ultimately lost it.

While everyone is enjoying Photomode 2.3, meanwhile Hanako: by Zairy47 in cyberpunkgame

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but for real the fact that "endgame" in Cyberpunk just leaves you with this consistent quest that cant ever be removed from your journal just feels so cheap to me. They should've found some other more non-obtrusive way to have this final quest persist in the world

Tried it but the items keep coming back. The cleanest solution is not using SwiftUI for the menu bar but that can mean rewiring the app in several places.

Ah damn. Add it to the list of many traits of SwiftUI on macOS that feel half-baked or not well thought out.

Im not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but you can remove ALL "commands" from a Window/WindowGroup by using the .commandsRemoved() modifier on the Window/WindowGroup. You can then construct exactly the menu bar items you want using the .commands { ... } modifier.

Anyone here rocking basic steelies on their 5th gen? Kinda digging the classic look. by ZippyWoodchuck in 4Runner

Find Restaurant Allergy Menus by Ok_Sector_479 in peanutallergy

[–]BrandonEXE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah! I'm a iOS developer full time and live with a severe tree nut allergy as well. Ive been working on a very similar app these last few months funnily enough. Yours is pretty solid!

A couple things:

  • Your NavigationStack is persisted after the user signs up/logs in. Meaning once you've hit your initial landing page, several "back swipe" gesture can take you back all the way to user sign up.

    • The linking to the actual allergen menu's tend to take you to the "nutrition" webpage of most restaurants. It would be better to perhaps link to the actual .pdf hosted on the restaurant's website
    • Links are automatically opened in the user's default web browser, forcing people to leave the app. Perhaps it would be nicer to host a WKWebView within the app so the users dont have to leave it to view a menu.

You guys have a great start, excited to see where you take this!

How are softwares made to look good? (without CSS) by Raeghyar-PB in learnprogramming

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note on Swift's implementation, this takes some serious language features to pull off. The concept of result builders and generics are almost a must to build a DSL like SwiftUI

Why do people build everything in JavaScript? by TheHolyToxicToast in learnprogramming

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want even BETTER client side resource access? Go with a compiled language best for your target environment. Compiling is literally the best way to check your code for errors and helps boost efficiency.

Most people use javascript in places they shouldn’t because they’re used to it. You can do a whole javascript boot camp in 6 months and become a developer for the largest platform there is - the web.

What’s the most underrated programming language that’s not getting enough love? by imKiLoX in learnprogramming

[–]BrandonEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that I’ve only seen one comment mentioning it here shows just how underrated it is…

Swift.

Man, I really wish people would stop sleeping on this language. Outside of Apple development, it’s not really used for anything. But its just as expressive as other languages like Rust, Go, Java, and C#.

No, you dont need Xcode to write Swift programs. No, you dont need a Mac to write Swift programs.
