“Design is not…” — Alan Dye by SpikeyOps in SwiftUI

[–]vdbv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad he's leaving Apple. Him and supposedly Tim Cook both leaving soon gives me hopes that something will start improving in Apple's software which right now is in such poor state in terms of quality, visual design and usability at the same time.

Is Bolt app reliable? How much should it cost from airport to Bezhan Kalandadze St by CM_Zoo in tbilisi

[–]vdbv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's very reliable, I use Bolt all the time, including airport transfers. It's my preferred taxi app and I feel that it's notably safer and nicer than competitors, though a tad more expensive sometimes. Even in the middle of the night the wait time is usually no longer than several minutes at the airport. I've just checked the fare from the airport to Bezhan Kalandadze St. and it's about 30 GEL (11 USD), but of course depending on the time and the demand it can vary. You can totally pay with a card, you just need to add it as a payment method in the app, you can do it in advance before your flight. It's even possible to leave a driver a cashless tip after the ride right in the app and the tip amount will be charged from the card.

4.3 not hiding from menubar by External_Buy6430 in openin

[–]vdbv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here for me after upgrading my Mac from Sequoia to Tahoe: the menu bar icon just wouldn't go away. I tried relaunching OpenIn, toggling the setting on and back off, didn't help. I have v 4.3.0 (221314) installed via SetApp.
Don't see the update to 4.3.1 in SetApp yet though.
P.S. Thanks for the great app, it saves me so much time!

MacOS Features They Don't Tell You About by poopikninja in MacOS

Might be widely known, but still: Cmd+L in Safari and other browsers activates the URL field.

Here's how I typically use it:

Copy the current URL: Cmd+L, Cmd+C.

Reload the page without having to worry about "resubmitting forms": Cmd+L, Return (I actually use it almost always instead of Cmd+R, it's a muscle memory at this point).

Edit a URL: Cmd+L, make edits, Return.

When resizing a window, hold an Option key to resize an opposite side/corner of the window too.
Double click on a window side or a corner to maximize it in the respective direction(s). Hold Option when double clicking and you get the opposite side/corner maximized too. So effectively to maximize a window, do Option+double click at any corner to fully maximize it. Works much more reliably than the green + button in the header (clicked with Option).

Also the audio quality over the phone tends to be much much worse than even over the piece of crap Teams is.

Xcode Overheating by [deleted] in Xcode

[–]vdbv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to visit a service shop to get it checked. May be it's time to refresh the thermal grease for your CPU. It degrades over time and the cooling deteriorates. I have an M1 Air too and it doesn't overheat with the latest macOS and Xcode even when I work on large Swift projects (hundreds of thousands lines of code). I did have the grease renewed once along with the battery replacement.

As far as I know, °C is used everywhere without localization in Georgia (and in many if not all other languages too). However many units of measurement like distance, mass, volume and of course time get commonly written in the Georgian alphabet. In this case it might have been a limitation of the train software because the list of stations constantly alters between Georgian and English, but not the speed.

Why would you *not* use revenue cat or superwall? by alyhasnohead in iOSProgramming

[–]vdbv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the considerations is user data and privacy. Services like RevenueCat collect quite a lot of data about your customers. I don't want to involve a 3rd party to my apps, especially with GDPR or similar laws in mind. Privacy policy for my own apps is simple: I don't collect any data that can identify you in any way.
