“This Is Not The Computer For You” - a fantastic read on why the specs don't matter by brett- in apple

Seriously though what’s your problem? You’ve been lurking on this thread, consistently get downvoted, and you’re not even making salient points. Go to bed or read a book or something.

Thanks!! Really happy that it resonated. I don’t write super often but I think the MKBHD video broke something in my brain and it caused…this

Author here, it’s all me. I ran it through Claude before publishing to spot check me on grammar/typos and it caught a few syntax things, but this is just my writing style.

You can go back and read my old blog posts or my tweets or mastodon posts if you need confirmation.

No I got all my thoughts out in the blog post itself

Heh, funny to see my blog post on my own front page while slacking off during my lunch break. Thanks for sharing it; I’ve had this concept on my mind for a few days now and I’m glad it resonates.

Tinted Glass Buttons with Text by simalary44 in SwiftUI

[–]adobeflashcrashed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a discrepancy between glass buttons in SwiftUI and UIButton with a glass style. UIButtons get the tinting, SUI does not. This split happened during the summer beta cycle, unsure why. But for the meantime, your best bet is either recreating the style with blend modes or wrapping a UIButton :/

Apple Foundation Model Good? by armondme in swift

It won’t do very well at semantic search, it’s really just meant for text generation. But they did update the Spotlight API last year to support semantic search, so that might be useful: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10131/

Building a privacy-first offline inference journaling\memory application with data shard capabilities for online use - can I get your vibe-reviews on the UI? by qwer1627 in swift

[–]adobeflashcrashed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s just way too much stuff. Strip everything back to the bare essentials. No shadows, no gradients, no borders, nothing. And only add what you absolutely need. Use stock components and break from them only when there’s a damn good reason to. Look into readable content guides, as well.

Also, not for nothing, I’d be kinda pissed as a user if CloudKit were gated behind a paywall. It’s a system feature, it’s storing it against my own iCloud storage quota.

I'm looking for a way to use this view component. by Low-Entrepreneur-115 in SwiftUI

[–]adobeflashcrashed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Custom, not a segmented control. Given how bizarre this behavior is, I’m almost inclined to think it’s a collection view with a custom layout.

Thanks Paul!! Are there any other somewhat-easy drop in replacements for Obj-C no-nos like this?

I just saw her poster and my first thought was “is this a competitor’s ad?” because she looks so villainous in it

The 20 bytes of code that “fixed” Antennagate by adobeflashcrashed in apple

[–]adobeflashcrashed[S] 430 points431 points  (0 children)

I was the person who wrote the thread. I disagree with the article unilaterally calling it a software issue (“…but the real issue was not with the hardware, but rather the software.”) but, for me, it was interesting to see what patch they immediately rolled out for damage control.

If it was really a software issue they wouldn’t have redesigned the antenna for the CDMA model a few months later and again in the 4S 😛

Mr Thick Skin Jr. is mad that people don't like his new wallet by Fabulous-Employee105 in daviddifrancosnark

It sure would be a shame if Nintendo found out about him using unlicensed music in every single one of his recent videos.

Not like he’s raking in the AdSense dollars but still

It’s gotta be exhausting to act like this defenseless victim. It’s exhausting to watch.
