   The toolbar used to be grey and is now white like the content. And the contrast of text on the translucent items... But overall the style is very consistent. If it is bright in light mode, it might be nice and dark on dark mode. We’ll find

   One must not forget that AppKit is pretty awful compared to UIKit. It is much easier to accomplish things with UIKit. SwiftUI helps though and will end up being the way of making cross platform apps

   I am mostly upset about the low contrast. I hope that gets improved before release. And sad about the change in sheets and alerts... I’ll probably get over that.

    Note: the gaming industry is not actually standardizing around Vulkan. It is still DX on Windows, Metal on Mac/iOS, and then Vulkan on Android

    If a developer does not want their product sold to customers of Walmart because Walmart takes % percentage and has a certain set of rules, then the developer can go away and not sell to Walmarts customers. Same analogy works with Xbox/

    In a way this is how it works. This OS Payment service framework is the App Store. You have an account there and you have your creditcard (payment server1) or PayPal (service2) or iban (service3) there. They take 30% for both handling these

    I am not against more access to the phone, as long as it is a completely manual opt in. I don't want to download apps from the web browser. And I don't want banks or any other company to say: 'we require you to use our app, a

    I cannot write applications for the Xbox, Playstation or Switch without going through their manufacturers and paying them a part of my revenue. In the mean time, Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo have their own studios as well. Their stores a

    I can only recommend it. It is still in beta though. SwiftUI is also cross platform: the generated UI is different on mac than iphone. With SwiftUI you are programming more with semantics than before

    SwiftUI has this list functionality. You just loop over a list of items and set how to show it. SwiftUI will do the rest.

    I am at 89% and with some programs I work the whole MacBook heats up due to high GPU and CPU usage. Do you think this will degrade it much faster?

    According to Coconut battery, my MacBook Pro battery is now at 89% capacity after only 2.3 years and 140 cycles. I hope this change keeps me away from the dreaded 80%...

    Making games is very visual. So yes, you do a lot in the editor. And as someone who also uses code to give initial positions and rotations: it is easier to get an idea how things look in a visual editor than with code. We tend to make visua

    What makes cars deserve a big piece of asphalt but cyclers not? We have a lot of cyclers in the Netherlands and they deserve the safety and convenience of separate roads, away from multi-ton vehicles. Also, bike roads are not as overly cons

    I started wondering whether Apple is playing a longer game here: - Reject the app: create media attention - Accept the app: media attention, HKers can download the app en-masse. - Then a few days later comply to the CCP and remove it from h

    I find it interesting that you see 'save thousands of hours of human labor' as something that's surely positive. What should those people start doing instead? They also need an income to get bread on the table.

    So this might increase theft, as it is more valuable than a mere brick now. I hope we get some word from Apple about this.
