I could have used this last year! It will help if you do it in order of dependencies: AG::vector, then AG::swift, then AG::LayoutDescriptor

I recently discovered that I can use an LLM to automate Ghidra, and I asked it some questions about SwiftUI internals. The results far exceeded my expectations. This is the first task I've given an AI where it does a better job than I could.

It'd be really cool if running terminal programs could inject entries into a command palette. Imagine every TUI having access to a native command palette. (Not planning to introduce sequences to do this... yet... but this is the kind of thing I want to get to)
Command palette coming to Ghostty, implemented with native UI of course. macOS initially but GTK will follow and be part of the same tagged release, since there's already a mostly complete open PR. Almost all keybinding actions available, will be able to customize entries too.

A little late to the party, but I had to rewrite everything in SwiftUI and rework the background colors to be materials. Still need to rethink the design, but it's fun seeing this first pass come to life!

Anatomy of an @UberEats scam: Bike courier "picks up" order. They idle @ pick up spot after picking up. 10-25 min later, GPS suddenly shows they're @ delivery location. Order's "delivered" - but nowhere to be found. Here's how it works & why it's bad for drivers & customers

This is by far the best explanation I've seen of UIView's animation API. Such a great article. Thanks @davidronnqvist! objc.io/issues/12-animations…

About time!

New: FTC sues Intuit for its deceptive Turbotax “free” filing campaign. Commission seeks an immediate halt to Intuit’s deceptive ads for “free” products: bit.ly/3NGDVUm
I think about this a lot

At any Big Tech, incentives that drive promotions and performance reviews end up driving a surprisingly large amount of decisions. Most of these incentives are impact, revenue generation at scale & savings at scale. Fixing small issues fits none of these.
It was fun for a couple days, but enough is enough haha

Apparently finsta is basically an Instagram feature. Or at least Instagram is actively promoting it. I just got this alert today.
30 Sep 2021
Sen. Blumenthal, stern-faced, asked Facebook's Antigone Davis, "Will you commit to ending Finsta?" Davis explained that it's slang for a fake account--not an official Instagram product or service.
As someone who works on a 100% SwiftUI component library, I feel this so much. If I run into a bug, I have to wait a year for it to be fixed and then another year before I can drop the problematic iOS version.
Pretty much 90% of my wishes for Apple platforms dev boils down to something they will never do: ship frameworks with the apps. Every *mistake* they do costs so much to devs cause we have to wait YEARS. Compose has catchup and will be better than SwiftUI just bcs if that.

Super interesting article about the business of Nvidia and Arm. And if you want to read about the rogue CEO: outline.com/EJuZvB

"Arm China is actually a joint venture, the CEO of which has gone rogue; it’s not clear if Arm is actually in control. It’s possible that this acquisition happens without China’s approval and without ARM China, which is 20% of Arm’s sales.” stratechery.com/2020/nvidias…
