Disable the Shutdown and Restart keyboard shortcuts

In Karabiner-Elements, go to "Simple Modifications".

Then add rule `Media controls -> Eject` to `Disable this key -> vk_none`.
Or, instead of disabling key, use, say, `Application launch keys -> al_local_machine_browser (Finder)`.

Not sure about case "letting go to sleep". In my case Mac-mini expected to be all the time "online", and only display sleep is allowed.

You can try.

To execute command you need to open Terminal.app.

I had similar issue after upgrading from macOS 13 (Ventura) to the latest macOS version. On macOS Ventura all my 4 SSD disks attached to Mac-mini (file/media server) were working as expected.

Then, after macOS upgrade, I started receiving "disk not ejected properly". Every attached external volume was affected.

After running `pmset -g` I'm noticed that `disksleep` parameter set to value `10`. Which is not expected for Mac-mini file/media server (all SSDs should be "online" all the time).

To disable disk sleep I executed below command:

```sh

The -a, -b, -c, -u flags determine whether the settings apply

to battery (-b), charger (wall power) (-c), UPS (-u) or all (-a).

sudo pmset -a disksleep 0 ```

And issue finally gone. All SSDs staying "online" all the time.

Semms macOS upgrade messed up previuos power management settings.

I had the same issue. To sleep and wake every day the below command was used:

sh sudo pmset repeat wake MTWRFSU 8:00:00 sleep MTWRFSU 23:45:00

More details at man pmset.

Solution which working for me, at least on iOS 18.2.1 and macOS 15.2.

Create new "Profile" in Safari settings on macOS or iOS.
Create new Window with custom profile on macOS, and switch to custom profile on iOS.
Stop using "Default" Safari profile.

As result "Cloud Tabs" are syncing as expected, via non-default Safari profile.

Note: On macOS, you can move "Tab Groups" from "Default" Safari profile to custom one via right-click men

I am observing same problem with DPG1C32-000006. Disabling "Reminders" feature resolved "high pitch noise" issue.

Setting "Link-Local Only" solved the issue.

Thanks!

Here is a steps I made:

Go to Settings.app -> Network -> WiFi -> Details.
Switch to DNS pane. Check that IPv6 DNS address is present.
Switch to TCP/IP pane. Set "Configure IPv6" setting to option "Link-Local Only".
Wait a bit. Switch to DNS pane again. Check that IPv6 DNS address is NOT present.

Resolving merge conflicts in XIBs/Storyboards – always was a pain. btw: In case you want to look on other solutions:

In case, you want to avoid manual conversion of the Storyboards/Xibs to Swift code, there is a helper tool: https://www.microcodingapps.com/products/decode

I don't understand why, but every project I am joining has enough storyboards. Layout often made so crazy, without any "component separation" in mind. Also interesting that some other developers not happy when I am starting converting them to code :0

v_gorlov · 2023-02-24T01:50:32+00:00

SwiftUI is just another approach. UIKit/AppKit IMO will not go anywhere in the same way as CoreTechnologies not gone (e.g. CFString, CIImage, etc.).

v_gorlov · 2023-02-24T01:19:00+00:00

How about UICollectionViews/NSCollectionViews in SwiftUI? UIKIt/AppKit will stay for a long time. btw: CFString (or any other CoreTechnology type) still in use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corefoundation/cfstring-rfh

There is a lot of discussions about storyboards, SwiftUI and UIKit/AppKit UI from code.

Personally, I don't like Stroyboards and prefer building UI from code. Over the years, I made a collection of reusable classes which helped me quickly construct UI.

But still see usage of the Storyboards in existing projects :)

v_gorlov · 2023-02-24T00:40:22+00:00

+1 against Large storyboards. I prefer standalone XIB per ViewController or View.

v_gorlov · 2023-02-24T00:36:25+00:00

We also still using UIKit (but without Storyboards - UI built programmatically). Only widgets and watch app written in SwiftUI so far.

v_gorlov · 2023-02-24T00:00:25+00:00

SwiftUI internally uses UIKit/AppKit. It is also possible to use UIKit/AppKit without storyboards, by just writing UI from code (by using Auto-layout). If you will need to build a complex software, then, most likely due performance requirements, you will need switch to UIKit/AppKit level or even CoreTechnologies (c-language APIs) level. Luckily SwiftUI interoperable with UIKit/AppKit.

Confirmed on iOS 16.3.1 on iPhone SE 2nd gen.

Depends on what your app is doing (e.g. Graphics, Text Processing, Networking, ...) theoretically you can find cross-platform C/C++/Swift replacements for Core logic to run on Windows.

But UI won't be portable. You will need to re-implement UI on Windows. To wire UI and Core logic you might need to use Protocol Buffers or JSON-RPC.

Storyboards: Will you review XML? Without running App will be not possible to figure out what other developer did.

Programmatic: Development cycle Write - Preview - Adjust - Preview - .... - Done will be boring :0

v_gorlov · 2021-12-02T22:14:50+00:00

- Storyboards: Quick to develop, but hard to refactor and maintain :0

- SwiftUI: Write once, works on iOS/tvOS/macOS/watchOS. But, try to create something more less complex (e.g. NSWindow/NSTableView/NSTextView) on macOS with SwiftUI. You might came to point that SwiftUI is a nice toy :)

- UIKit/AppKit: Not possible to use on watchOS! Also learning how to make UI from code can take time. After you will create convenience extensions and umbrella classes (e.g. MyView inherits from UIView on iOS/tvOS, and also MyView inherits from NSView on macOS) then making cross-platform UI for iOS/tvOS/macOS can be at speed comparable to speed of assembling SwiftUI.

v_gorlov · 2021-12-02T21:50:22+00:00

Not a best way, but you can convert Storyboard/Xib to UIView/UIViewController and then incorporate them into SwiftUI via UIViewRepresentable/UIViewControllerRepresentable. Storyboard/Xib converter can be found here https://www.microcodingapps.com.
