Wouldn’t it be cool if there was an “Airplane” remake, set in modern day?

Trump says rising sea levels are “a good thing” because he thinks he would “have more seafront property”: “Isn't that a good thing?”

Hmm… rare Apple UX glitch:

If you vote for Donald Trump in November, I will not judge you for your choice of political party.

I will judge you for your lack of morals, ethics and humanity.

I will judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, and fascism.

So will others. So will history.

Hi 👋

Posting this in hope that someone in my network may know of a role for me. I’m currently looking for a new job, full time, contract or part time.

If you need help making an app or want someone very passionate about Accessibility to help you, let me know.

@rjonesy I like seeing which days of the month correspond to which days of the week.

Anyone have tips on using VSCode with xcworkspace files for Copilot support? Is it worth the effort? The code is mostly in Swift.

@bobgodwinx @krzyzanowskim I use it a lot for binding table view content in UIKit screens. Is there a better way?

[Sam Stigler @samstigler]

Umm…. ⁦@Apple⁩ ? It’s going to rain it there’s a zero percent chance of it?

Also, I don’t remember this auto-scaling from before:

[Sam Stigler @samstigler]

Looks like Apple introduced a very subtle Dynamic Type font change for notifications as of iOS 17.1.1: The character spacing seems wider. Anyone else seeing that?

@luksape @Jeehut For what it’s worth, I’ve noticed that Apple generally refunds TSIs if they’re for bugs.

@NTFTWX All I ask is for a multi-user iPad.

If you're programming a game where a boat moves through water, you might be tempted (as I would) to change the V-shape angle of the waves behind the boat based on how fast the boat was moving!

What if I told you that that V-shaped angle is always 19.47°, regardless of how fast the boat is travelling? 😱

This pattern even holds true for a duck traversing a pond. 🦆

The envelope of these waves stands at a fixed angle, and the wake has a characteristic feathered pattern.

This wake pattern was first explained mathematically by Lord Kelvin (William Thompson) and are known today as the Kelvin wake pattern.
