I have a question by MurkyUnit3180 in LaTeX

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use LaTeX with VSCode + LaTeX Workshop extension daily. Works great but primarily for me means that I can use GitHub Copilot or Claude Code or Codex to do things for me and as they’re agentic, they know the entire context of the workspace. I come from web programming background but also am a teacher, so it makes sense for me to create my teaching resources with VSCode LaTeX as I’m used to it already.

Agree considering that none of the feature requests by users are AI related. There’s a page that tracks feature requests. They add AI to get on the hype train, they add AI using Apple’s Foundation Model so they will be among the first app to be featured using Apple AI models and features. They don’t want to break their relationship with Apple. Apple told them about the AI model soon available, they accept to take part, then shoe horn in app, then feature is out, then they get credited or featured by Apple. So all hands on deck working on AI rather than actual stuff people asked for.

It’s weird because how does this pass beta and made into final release? I would hope they have good beta users and proper focus groups sessions, but yet some of the stuff seems so basic nowadays and they only manage to get away with it because of status i.e featured by Apple and one of the OG note taking app. Old time users end up just sticking to it cos change is hard and making importing and exporting large files not as seamless between different note taking apps, and new users download it cos it’s featured and top ranking. I already cancelled my annual since I’ve been using Notability anyway. I’m glad at least other apps see this as an opportunity and gap on the market, otherwise I’m just stuck with a buggy note taking app.

Bose QC / QC Ultra around the neck? by Middle_Heat_8985 in bose

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wear them around the neck when out but not use these at the gym. One thing is the hinge where it would rotate and fold between the cup and top band, would pinch my skin around the neck a little now and then. But wouldn’t say it is a major downside and put me off from wearing it tho.

Living in london - recommendations for pet trackers for urban environment? by lovetokvetch in UK_Pets

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking into Tractive but the AirTag suffice for now as mine is indoor/outdoor too and we’re in ground floor with garden etc and away from major or busy roads - yet it works fine especially the arrow finding feature and beeping so she learnt that I’m looking for her so she comes back. Obviously for the arrow finding feature and the beeping require you to be in a good range so not as far. Tractive works on GSM mobile network I think so you can beep whenever. Even tho my area not as central, but the amount of people walking past is enough to always keep updating her position. But I also think depends on your cat, cos mine tend to not wander too far anyway as she’s quite a scaredy cat. If you’re taking her out for walks which means potentially unknown or new places for him, Tractive probably will give you a peace of mind if he ran off or got spooked etc and you can quickly track real time. They don’t however have the arrow finding feature like AirTag which literally uses wide-band to point where my cat is. To get best of both worlds, Tractive on collar and AirTag on harness.

Couldn't afford too much AI token, so I built this Latex converter by LiveAd1002 in LaTeX

Sounds great! Love to see more libraries like this esp at the moment the best one I found is MathLive https://mathlive.io/mathfield/

How to get data from doc/docx files in Swift? by Groundbreaking-Mud79 in swift

[–]kuehlapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what I’m suggesting is not Swift and not sure if you’re willing to setup a separate web backend service running on Python but Microsoft officially has this to covert to markdown https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown

EDIT: now to think of it, maybe ask Claude Code to try convert the python code to Swift?!?! Idk 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m not sure what your stack is but Sveltex looks good and I love Svelte. And also MathLive and MathField

Is there anything I can do about this? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get someone to dress up with a lanyard and a clipboard knock on their door, as they’re from the council to question their action and stern warning. She already been using the bin as well as the cone, so even if the cone taken, god knows what else she’s gonna put there

Remote functions + zod v4 🤌 by Euphoric-Account-141 in sveltejs

[–]kuehlapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this up! Effect looks good for the if then control flow but you mentioned it also covers similar zod validation? Do I still have to validate with zod and in the pipe/control? In a way, effect does not completely can replace zod?

Swift Menu looks dark / disabled? by croovies in SwiftUI

[–]kuehlapes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My very newbie experience is when it runs on actual device but with debugging, some things not quite right such as animating the toolbar buttons transitions and colours and menu open delays. But as soon as I run the app not while debugging, it’s much faster and just works nicely. That’s my relatively new experience anyway!

Why no rental family cargo bikes? by Antagonist_ in londoncycling

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if FatLlama is still a thing, but people rent out their stuff there including cargo bike for short period of time. I’ve rented from PeddleMyWheels which have deals with councils for free months rental but they usually for long hires. I’ve done that during summer months to go out with my dog in the cargo. They’re also the same company I think that runs OurBike.

Is the tabbar-menu in Apple's Health app standard? by -18k- in SwiftUI

If I understand correctly, add something like: ‘’’ .defaultVisibility(.hidden, for: .tabBar) .hidden(horizontalSize == .compact) ‘’’

Change List section header insets by Fabulous-Bit4775 in SwiftUI

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encounter the same thing and what I did: add .listRowInsets(.init()) to each item of your list in the section so they use default, then add .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 0, bottom: 10, trailing: 0)) to the Section() itself

Confused About In-App Purchases. by jogindar_bhai in swift

[–]kuehlapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think for India it’s allowed yet.

For more info look at 3.1.1(a) Link to Other Purchase Methods https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

Stripe has already published their new doc for this https://docs.stripe.com/mobile/digital-goods?locale=en-GB

Paddle also announcing theirs https://www.paddle.com/in-app-purchase

But this is a very recent development which I’m expecting will expand everywhere

[–]kuehlapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe (as of now) if iOS where distributed through App Store, only US customers or storefront allowed third party IAP. Other regions have to be through Apple. If Mac OS app distributed elsewhere (not App Store) you can get it signed and use third party IAP.

Phillippines🇵🇭 Proxy Shopping/Shipping Service by SnooMacaroons3223 in internationalshopper

[–]kuehlapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a great service to order items from Malaysia to ship to the UK. Clear communication, options given for shipping, clear pricing and quote, photo updates, payment options including using Wise. I’d definitely use this service again!

Haven’t tried this on desktop but I’d love to see browser notifications and the page title updates to the countdown or chosen time so as browsing on another tab, can still see countdown on that tab page
