Impressive. With mobile SDKs as well.

Well done, sir/ma'am. A little bit of understanding goes a long way.

Recently I ordered a matte screen protector for my MacBook Pro, and it works really well. I would not immediately write off all laptops with glossy screens.

(Note I don't have a recommendation for a particular screen protector, I used a local supplier in my tiny little European country).

Amazing writeup, kudos.

To me, it's unnecessary to say sorry; affiliate links are mentioned, plus it's quite a useful resource.

Well, you stopped being a client. I don't find it all that strange.

Sounds good, will have a look!

Thanks a lot!

What did you try to build with it? In how far did that succeed? And did you find a better alternative?

As an app developer, this looks pretty great. I can just click together a backend and don't have to futz around in PHP or Python.

> 27 inch monitors cost $129.00 each

Heh yes, that's what I thought as well. And what's more, he only needed 24". Let's assume that 129 is the going rate for the author and he wanted 3 monitors to work on. Since he has undoubtedly spent more than three hours building and schlepping around this setup, I don't think it was worth it.

But then again, that's probably not what this is about :)

I don't think it supports import or export. One login can indeed be saved and used over multiple subdomains.

Personally, that's enough for me. I've been using Firefox on iOS for at least a year or so, together with Lockwise (their password manager).

iTerm -> Preferences -> Profiles tab -> Colors subtab.

You'll see two columns of options. The left column is titled "Basic Colors", the right is titled "ANSI Colors".

Under Basic Colors, click the color next to Foreground, and a color picker appears. Slide it to the lower-left: bright white.

Now it should be fixed. But if it didn't, repeat the same procedure for the White that's at the bottom of the column ANSI Colors.

Yes, but these aren't 24" and that's what the writer of the piece wanted. The biggest is 17", which isn't all that bad though. It's a shame that the resolution is abysmal: 1600x900

I agree with you. Just keeping with the S&P is pretty great, with the benefits that you can maintain concentration during the day.

You don't back up your assertion that, even after asking, some stranger isn't going to stop them. But I distinctly remember a scientific experiment that said otherwise. I googled and found this popular reporting: https://abcnews.go.com/WhatWouldYouDo/story?id=7091942

> "watch someone's laptop"

I'm that guy. Whenever I need to work in a coffee shop, I ask this of a coworker. Do you really feel like it's too intrusive? I never thought it would be a problem.

> always getting search problems, site unavailable, or some other such glitch

This sounds like my spouse saying "you always...". It's obviously not "always"; I think you'll get a better reply when you quantify it. For example, in the last month, how many times did you get a search problem (which was it), a site unavailable or something else (what was it).

Leaning towards the careful end of the spectrum, I can respect that. Especially once you're fast with UIKit, and Auto Layout. And Auto Layout kinda proves your last point; there's absolutely nothing "auto" about it.

You are not developing for any Apple platform. And then later you state that the framework is more like an early alpha, not to be used in production.

On what basis do you make that rather bold statement?

Limited uptake by developers you mean? How do you determine that?

I had two instances where the preview turned out to be a hassle (crashing, or hard to get it to work).

First was a test project with Core Data. It was a hassle to set up the preview. So much so, that I often skipped it.

Second instance was crashing; I'd created a View but the layout was based on something in UserDefaults, and I forgot about that. So when I created another view that incorporated that first view, I got crashes. So bad, in fact, that a restart of Xcode didn't help. I had to close Xcode, then on the commandline, find and kill the daemon responsible for previews.

Were you able to point to causes of the unreliable previewing in your case?

Yeah, my sentiments exactly. I'm in the process of finishing a small app for a client, and it's been a blast. As you said, a number of workarounds are necessary due to the fact that UIKit is so rich, and SwiftUI is rather sparse at the moment.

However the fact that it's so easy to build new UI components, at this phase partly makes up for it.

Do you have more examples than just that single one?

I ask, because I've encountered a number of situations where I figured it's a bug, when in fact it was my lack of understanding this new framework.

> It's just having a hard time clambering out of the bassinet

What are the reasons for you to have this opinion?

These IRC replacements do more than that. There are voice and video calls, integrated file sharing, and a whole bunch of tools that you can add.

To be honest, I don't much like Slack because I feel the desktop app doesn't feel like a real macOS app. And I don't use all these features. So in the end, IRC would be fine for me. But it wouldn't for the rest of the company.

I live in Europe (the Netherlands) and I most definitely empty my car. I've had two smashed windows, my dad has had one, and besides, it's all uninsured: the insurance companies do not consider the trunk of your locked car a "safe place for valuables".

According to Wikipedia, a browser is an "application for accessing information on the World Wide Web (...) retrieves the necessary content from a web server and then displays the resulting web page".

Why do you think he didn't build a browser?

What happened here? Did you sign a contract that you can't keep or something?

Wow, looks good! Is there a way to order all the pieces of such a model?

Trolls and crap content? Aren't you being overly broad here? I find the r/swift and r/iOSProgramming communities pretty informative. And the r/ProgrammerHumor is good for a smile.
