Got my new Tarts. Love ‘em.

It’s not a ‘personal choice’ for you to become a petri dish for further mutations of the COVID-19 virus. You don’t get a ‘personal choice’ to become part of a deadly public health crisis. #notapersonalchoice

I am delighted to hear that fellow nerd @levarburton will be guest hosting @Jeopardy. I hope they make it fulltime.

Don’t want to lose ground I’ve gained with SwiftUI though, so kicking off my side project, long planned, in SwiftUI 3.0 for iOS 15.

[MichaelPrenezIsbell @MichaelIsbell]

Wrapping up some SwiftUI work and preparing to dive into a conversion to React Native, so we can get the app onto Android as well. It’s the right decision for this app.

[MichaelPrenezIsbell @MichaelIsbell]

@mengto Just burned through 12 hours of @designcodeio course on React Native. Great set of courses. Onto part 2.

[MichaelPrenezIsbell @MichaelIsbell]

@reactjs So what’s the preference of the community these days: JavaScript or TypeScript. I’m talking to a lot of people who tell me they can’t think of a single reason to use JavaScript these days. What’s your take on it?

The new capabilities of List in SwiftUI means mostly that the underlying capabilities of UIKit’s UITableView have been exposed to the SwiftUI system. Is List -always- going to depend on UITableView? And where is SwiftUI CollectionView?

I’ll be attending the first Colbert show back in the Ed Sullivan Theater on Monday evening. That should be fun. Bringing along @EIT

Playgrounds on iPad is not a substitute for Xcode.

As many predicted, this was an incremental feature-y WWDC. Some nice usability features, but nothing earth shattering.

[MichaelPrenezIsbell @MichaelIsbell]

Fastly @fastly just identified itself as a global single point of failure and a major cyber security risk.

Let’s just get to the end of the story: after it no longer gets clicks and no one cares anymore, we’re still not going to find that UFOs are aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy. Just when you thought major news outlets couldn’t insult your intelligence any further.

After a few days of owning them, you are going to have to take these AirPods Max out of my cold, dead hands. The sound is better on my Bose QC earbuds, the noise cancelling is better on the AirPods Max, which was the reason for laying out the spondulicks.

WWDC in one week. Really looking forward to SwiftUI updates.

The ideal hardshell case would enclose the iPad Pro WITH the Magic Keyboard.

[MichaelPrenezIsbell @MichaelIsbell]

We really need a complete hardshell iPad Pro 2021 case, designed for travel. That would mean enclosing back AND FRONT of the iPad. Right now I’m using the magic keyboard case.

[MichaelPrenezIsbell @MichaelIsbell]

The two new M1 iPads are fully functional and programmed in multiple techniques. The magic keyboard is wondrous.

Using popover in an .overlay made with ViewBuilder on a button in the NavigationView. Very odd behavior: it’s completely transparent to taps, so you can’t use .onTapGesture. Instead you have to trap touches in the Views behind it.
