Give https://github.com/bogo/arm64-to-sim a try. Perhaps you'll be able to get the arm64-simulator slice for free.

Oof. Twitch app on the AppleTV sucks hard, at least for watching recordings. Live watching is okay. But the seeking in the recordings would win one of those "worst UI on purpose" awards. And they banned third party clients, so the

XIB? xib files are used in UIKit apps, alongside storyboards, but they're simply serialized views, not a different architecture or paradigm.

They did! I'm an Apple Certified Support Professional and Server Administrator (10.5 and 10.6). They had a whole series of certifications you could get, just like Microsoft (though not as extensive). Those all went by the wayside when

There's also no real support for paid Warp+ access. The app's bug reporter seems to go to the app development team, who don't seem to be triaging reports much lately. That team has never responded well to service quality repo

One of my biggest annoyances is that, for whatever reason, Nest and ecobee haven't continued to expand their thermostats to support more sophisticated HVAC setups. I recently updated to a variable speed furnace (just the furnace, not t

Thomas Edison, the person, had nothing to do with the electrocution of Topsy. An employee of one of the various Edison electric companies, long since out of Edison's control, was the one who set that up.

1, 2, and 3 are actually all Apple policies. 1: Native appearance on new devices is solely to prevent them from looking bad on a user's new device. Presumably the user would rather have their apps work, but Apple wants the appearance.

Borderlands at 50GB isn't the largest PS5 game. I don't know what is but Horizon Forbidden West was ~90GB.

Or just running iperf on a personal server. I use that to diagnose differences between raw UDP / TCP throughput and HTTP.

Pebble story heard second hand. A major client executive, who was a huge Pebble fan, essentially forced us to connect the mobile apps we were doing for them (iOS, Android, and even Windows Mobile) to the Pebble. The Pebble SDK was C based,

Of course it matters, as NeXT was nearly out of business by the time Apple bought it. All of their hardware products had failed and their attempt as a cross platform SDK, OpenStep, was barely holding on. Their only successful product was We

None of that is scary. Pretty much all of that advice applies to systems you run internally. I do wish GHA had a solution for secure file injection, which solutions like Jenkins already have, so we didn't need a janky workaround for JS

The "rules" of unicode change over time with updates to the unicode standard(s). One big one is the grapheme breaking algorithm, which has been updated over time to support things like the family emoji and other compositions.

If you don't post a range it makes it trivial to make lowball offers since the candidates can't know the difference. This is discriminatory since it allows radically different offers for the same position without the applicant or

If you text an iPhone user over SMS, the message appears in a green bubble in the Messages app. If you use the native Messages protocol, it's blue. So green bubbles are an obvious outlier if most of your contacts have iPhones.

Perhaps it's just a value comparison thing. My company pays $5/user/mo. to GitHub for private repos, storage, and GitHub Actions. Every developer uses it every day to accomplish business critical project work. A pairing tool

Yes, it works well, but the only reason we used it instead of Tuple was that it's free right now. Tuple's pricing is rather absurd ($25/user/mo.) unless your org pairs so often you can justify it on the basis of 40 hour&

I find that hard to believe considering everything else that makes it past not only Apple's CI, but their automatic and manual QA testing, their beta process, and multiple public releases. I know they have to do something in their CI,

Ah, I was trying language:!html. Would still be great to ignore my docs directory.

Got into the preview, can finally search for actual code! One thing I'd like to see, though, is the ability to mark directories to be ignored in the search results. No one needs to search the raw HTML of my generated documentation, yet

The human mind, even one highly trained, is capable of ignoring all sorts of inputs when conditions don't match expectations. For an SR-71 pilot I can easily imagine flying low and slow could create such an issue. It's scary in ge

Apple's marketing page for the new MacBook Pros with the M1 Pro and M1 Max strictly mentions laptops and laptop GPUs in its comparisons. Apple makes no comparison to desktop systems directly. At most they make general comparisons to th

It's still unclear whether these are actual leaks (orphaned references), unconstrained growth, or deallocated memory whose blocks haven't been reclaimed by the OS. Automatic memory management would only help with the first case, a

This is only true on Apple platforms. String, of course, exists on all platforms. Of all the issues Swift's cross platform story has, this isn't one.

M1 Pro has the same CPU cores as the M1 Max, just half the GPU cores (and video coding cores). So you can get the same CPU performance in the 14" for as little as $2499.
