When wiring up my projector, I needed a 10 or 20 meter HDMI cable. The first one I got produced a snowy image on the screen — it wasn't like analogue static, but it was definitely a poor quality image. I replaced that cable with a more

In this case I think they are missing a lot of deserved credit. A ton of UI paradigms, established by visionOS, are taken wholesale in XR. Even down to the styling of the developer docs Good thread outlining the comparison https:/&#x2

Three of those really are very specific to string manipulation, and doing it "right" (with all the possible representations of what a string can be) is inherently complex. I think Swift landed on the wrong side of defaults for thi

At this point I can only guess that it's an explicit decision by Facebook not to support iPad — that is, they have some reason for wanting their user base to preference their interactions with the app using their phones

Thank you! We build Codea in our spare time, evenings and on weekends. It’s a really rewarding project

It’s not arbitrary, it’s intentional (though you and I may hate it) The default UITextInputStringTokenizer prefers to place the caret at word boundaries. I implemented exact placement for my coding app, Codea, and wrote about the text syste

You're probably correct about it being hard to make a decent iOS app in Swift Playgrounds, but it's definitely not a toy I use it for work several times per week. I often want to test out some Swift API, or build something in Swif

My understanding is this gets something like the system uptime? (I may be reading the docs wrong). In which case, it could be used as one of many signals in fingerprinting a device, as you could distinguish a returning user by checking thei

In my experience quite a lot of programming is thinking, though quite a lot is also communication, if you work in a team Typing out comments on PRs, reproducing issues, modifying existing code to test hypotheses, discussing engineering opti

Putting it together is not as simple as it seems. I think it was an immense engineering and design effort from Apple to get it to the point where it feels effortless and obvious Not only do they have two cameras per eye, and all the hardwar

I think the DMA mandates that Apple not give Safari advantages over other browsers. Being able to run PWAs seems like it could be considered an advantage? Not sure though

They are not allowed to give their browser an advantage under the DMA. If you take a look at BrowserEngineKit and BrowserKit there is a significant API surface area they offer for third-party browser engines. They must have been building th
