I make phones and some other stuff faster at . 🏳️‍🌈

Now this is seriously awesome! I have a WWDC talk, now that’s a dream come true!

Come learn about making collection and table views seriously fast and how image loading ties into that. Finally see if you can spot the ways I worked Alpacas into all of it.

@twostraws A feedback with a sysdiagnose would be super helpful. Especially if your device is hot as a result.

@ChristianSelig @WillRBishop @JordanMorgan10 The PlaceholderStore in this sample code does it this way and also documents why it’s fast.

@ChristianSelig @WillRBishop @JordanMorgan10 To make your CG version as fast…
- CGImageSourceCreateFromURL (no costly PNG)
- T ell CG the size you want at the source read time too with SubsampleFactor.
- No need for the CGThumbnail, CGDest accepts max pixel size and can avoid an intermediate step

Once called The Most Dangerous Game cliche, “every show has an episode like this.”
Then looked at the date, 1924, and realized, oh this isn’t cliche this is what they are all cliche-ing.

Is there a term for when people understand the artistic merit of a scene that's homaging something older but are so young they mistake that homage as being the original?

My favorite HTML tag has always been <hr> since I was maybe 9.
Love that it’s still getting new features.

The language typography changes in widgets, contact posters, and so many apps (and you at home using new APIs) in iOS 17 are one of my favorites.
They’re just ✨🤩✨

Language-tailored typography, including Vertical Text for Chinese and Japanese as well as Kashīda for Arabic in Contacts Posters, Incoming Call UI, and Calendar Widget.

I’m proud of all the teams I got to work with this year. And so proud of the rest of my Perf team who had a hand in every single thing shown today. I ❤️ seeing our work on the big screen. #WWDC23
See you in Perf&Power and/or WidgetKit labs!

@ChristianSelig Did @Reddit remove your post from Popular? About 10m ago it’s gone from Top and Popular…

[Christian Selig @ChristianSelig]

Just got off a call with Reddit about the API and new pricing. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts.

Giving them an award is the least the Dodger can do. But LGBTQ history is not taught, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There is a history of daring kindness that saved lives.
During Pride Month, try reading about the history they want to censor.

I know Fr Barron, and just know he makes these vile videos so he can keep his Cadillac and maybe get a promotion. And that’s far more anti-catholic than amazing supportive groups like @LADragnuns.
Oh the stories I know a lot of people could tell about him…

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, it’s hard to imagine anything more offensive than some of the behavior of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” which I think can only be described as an anti-Catholic hate group.

Whoever made this iOS feature seriously needs a raise

Taytos “are that feeling of comfort and familiarity that we hold on to even if we can’t physically be in Ireland with our loved ones.” 💚 https://t.co/0nreZM9esy

@jmtrivedi @b3ll @nebson Yea I had a guess you could get to this from a property animator. Clever

[Patrick Metcalfe @PatrickMetcalfe]

@b3ll @jmtrivedi @nebson We do now in SwiftUI!

https://t.co/5jEhpqIo5l

[Patrick Metcalfe @PatrickMetcalfe]

@jmtrivedi @nebson @b3ll Of course you are that is perfect
(Though how, you and I both know how to do that but…that’s not API. Is it CIFilters?)

[Patrick Metcalfe @PatrickMetcalfe]

@mboylan So just the orange breading…you don’t want the chicken

[Patrick Metcalfe @PatrickMetcalfe]

@mattcassinelli You mean loading slow as a result of having Shortcut actions in the sheet? Or loading slow in shortcuts/sharing to shortcuts?
