Mac and iOS developer at the Iconfactory, where he has worked on apps including Twitterrific and Tot. He writes about development at furbo.org.
Another bug with iOS 27.1: when your app launches in a partially folded state, the view’s traitCollection has a compact horizontal size class. If you close the Duo, and then open it partially, the horizontal size class is regular. This can lead to weird layouts when you launch an app in the partially folded state: only workaround is to close/open device again. Weirdly, auto layout constraints in a storyboard aren’t affected by this. It’s something in the UIViewController transition methods. Related

Last iPhone Duo observation for the day: Close/Done/Cancel buttons switch sides depending on if you’re in the left or right side-by-side layout. I get the “stay close to the thumbs” mantra that likely guided this decision. But it also moves the most important buttons around and presents the end user with an inconsistent layout. If someone gets used to an X button on the right and it’s suddenly on the left, does it do the same thing? A naive user may think it does not. Related
Another surprise: the closed (external screen) view has navigation on the right. But it can also be on the left in the side-by-side layout: Related
Has anyone figured out how to get the Duo Simulator to do the side-by-side app layout? I’d like to see how apps look next to another one (like Safari) and can’t see any way to get the Simulator to do this. Related

It's funny to me watching renters have a realtor contact to rent and then the realtor asks for a finders fee from the landlord. That could be fine, except every case of this they've been more of a pain to deal with than people who are capable of using listing sites themselves and thus have no fee for showing up. Related

No child should be raised in a hostel room. And no family should wait ten years for a front door of their own. Today we’re announcing funding for the biggest council housebuilding comeback in decades. Nearly £10 billion will go to councils and housing associations to build genuinely affordable homes, most of them for social rent. This funding will directly help families trapped in temporary accommodation or stuck on housing waiting lists into safe, secure homes. Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/117117221397911074 After hearing feedback from people struggling with #Mastodon’s layout and navigation for a long time I’m really looking forward to these changes. And I’m really impressed with the work @imanijoy has put into researching user needs with surveys, interviews, and round tables. I feel like the community has never been so represented in the design process before. The screenshots are marked “in progress” for a reason though—it’s a process. Related

Is there a service where I can rent access to Linux desktop machines with actual displays? We're implementing the Playbit runtime for Linux and it's surprisingly difficult to test various desktop configurations. We need a real GPU with a display connected, for testing dawn/webgpu, vsync, display sleep, etc. We use Modal and AWS, neither have had machines that I've been able to test with properly. Ideally there's a way to test a variety of systems (like ubuntu, arch, alpine etc) × GPUs (nvidia, amd, intel) × window managers. Linux Related

This economics thought experiment is a classic book originally written in 1946.

It tackles all kinds of ongoing political/economic concepts like rent control, minimum wage, tariffs, "saving industries", and more.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

especially about tone.
