 this is how they construct a UIMenu but for the web platform. Take a look at the color values in the sidebar — those are all undocumented WebKit-only colors that map 1:1 with the colors provided by the system. Here’s all of them: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/35b9037171bb6b1e4fba5754093baac2286a1321/Source/WebCore/css/CSSValueKeywords.in#L275 did some spelunking, here’s how it works. it’s all one big SVG that gets man-handled around as you swipe. it’s technically impressive. but. like. good lord. some more screenshots. I used my jailbroken phone here. found the web view (it was a subclass called `SWWebView`), set its inspectability to true, and used the normal Safari dev tools here. hi mom!   if you wanna see some really interesting UI, take a look at the apple sports bracket tool: https://apple.news/T66S-CD04QbyWrYlxE6suEQ?alternate_feed=sportsBracket

   I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Mac will never be a serious desktop OS until you can right click on your desktop and have two different options to create a new relational database  @samhenrigold are you counting like a programmer or non-programmer? (I’ll probably burn in hell for this question.)  @samhenrigold "Microsoft: access database" or "Microsoft Access: database" or "Microsoft Access database" or… so on. iOS dev question: What built-in collection do you use for quickly mocking up a list of data? Normally I use `UIFont.familyNames` but wondering if there’s something else y’all prefer. The context being I want to quickly create a list and I don’t care what the data is. It just needs to be something long enough to scroll. @samhenrigold (1…100).map { $0 } But now that I know about family name from UIFont I might switch over.

had no idea this series of games existed but oh well it turns out someone archived them all so I'm gonna install them on my iPod @samhenrigold I should finish up the custom download server I wrote a few years back for TTR4… i keep looking at the laser printer sitting in my entryway. i’m reminded that the moment i set it up, the final vestige of my youth will have died.

 @samhenrigold do what I did and put it on a “floating” shelf on your desk with fun things underneath it to counteract the boringness.  poof, there it goes!! btw if you’re thinking “that seems like a terrible input method for entering the wifi password” you’d be spot on Walmart is selling the M1 MacBook Air new for $699 by the way https://www.walmart.com/ip/MacBook-Air-13-3-Laptop-Apple-M1-chip-8GB-Memory-256GB-SSD-Space-Gray/609040889?athAsset=eyJhdGhjcGlkIjoiZTZiODQxMzItOTk2Mi00MmIyLTllOTYtOGIyMTVmYzRjM2I0In0=&athena=true not an affiliate link, it’s just a really good machine and I recommend it to any family member that asks me which laptop they should buy 8 GB of RAM though. You're gonna suffer if you open more than 2 chrome tabs on that thing. we the… Anonymous poll

@samhenrigold How do people reply to this in Twitter? Do they have to take a selfie, photoshop it until it looks fancy and use the proper quote formatting just to say “ewww I don’t want your filthy face anywhere near my bottom”?  This is obviously intentional and meant for people to make fun of so that people are talking about him, arguing in the replies etc. which make him 'trending', this leads to more clicks on his website and more money for him, and you not only took the bait but picked it up and started feeding it to us. The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. PAFFACAA. Rolls off the tongue.

there is an additional hard problem in computer science: creating a monogrammer for avatar placeholders. how are you supposed to derive a few characters? first one or two characters in a string? what about first/last name? what about hyphenated last name? do you force capitalize it? what about names formatted in some other language that you haven't designed for? some strings you might have to create a monogram for with no clear solution:  @samhenrigold In Hungary, we have double letter consonants, like “Sz” which is similar to the english “s”. Székely Géza should be SzG...  @samhenrigold I might use the first letter of the name and make it click-to-edit, so the user has easy and immediate control over their identity whenever they want to. This is a problem that only the person who owns the name can solve. I don’t like how most credit cards use travel as the main perk. I don’t go anywhere; I don’t think about life in miles. Start counting my points in something relevant to me like Zoloft refills or cloud storage subscriptions @samhenrigold I thought it was brilliant how the sapphire reserved pivoted to offering perks like with Instacart and DoorDash. One of our largest banks does this exact thing. You get "thank you" points as cashback for your card payments, then you can spend them at any of the participating retailers at the rate of 1 point = 1 ruble.  @samhenrigold my pedantic self: hmm… this is referring to a "petrol station" in North America, unless… their device could be set to en-UK… But no, their clock is in 12h mode! – OBJECTION! |
