#AppKit #UIKit #CollectionView

Any (NS/UI)CollectionView fans here? I’m trying to make a good collection view UI. It is just a simple flat scrolling column of things, should be simple layout.

I want the cells to size themselves to the SwiftUI content in them, which they almost do, but not when I resize the window and things start to wrap differently.

What am I missing? How should I make the heights respond better to window resizing?

Whining about Xcode and Apple tools quality

Turns out that sometimes Xcode messes up its internal intermediate state so badly that even manually clearing DerivedData does not help

The solution is to manually create a new DerivedData folder and point Xcode to it, and then all works

What clown show is this 🤡

Has anyone seen this on macOS?

There are some unkillable files in my Trash

When I try to empty trash, I got these errors about them being in use

I booted my Mac into safe mode, and tried to remove them in the recovery terminal, but then I got some errors about resource deadlocks, and could not remove them there either

How do I get rid of these

#Apple #iCloud #Security #ux

I turned on Advanced Data Protection for my iCloud account

The UX was a bit of a shit show, as is common for Apple security related things

The last step was to enter my passcode, and Settings was then stuck in this view for about two hours, with zero indication of status or progress

Finally I got the success screen and I guess it worked

I would really have appreciated more progress indication and feedback

This is the nerd stuff that I am here (on Mastodon) for

Kind of esoteric but with a very real and visible application

TIL: QR codes can be encoded in different ways. URLs with only uppercase letters use a more compact encoding that results in fewer bits, less entropy, and larger visible blocks

#Hosting #Email

When you have a bunch of domains, how do you do email forwarding for them in the most sane way?

I just want some specific email addresses in each domain like info@ to be forwarded to some other address, without setting up a full email system for each domain.

There are some services like https://improvmx.com that do this, but all appear US-based, I didn’t find any EU ones

I could also set it up in my own server with Postfix? But email deliverability is hard and messy

Who can recommend me a EU app hosting provider?

Something like DigitalOcean, with roughly the same features and prices, but EU owned

Yes DO has EU sites but it is still a US company, I don’t want that

I need to host some web sites and apps at a tiny scale, with options to scale up

#Apple #Privacy #Security #Politics #iCloud #CloudKit

Some developers have recently questioned their relationship with Apple platform, technology, and company.

Here is my take, looking at it from the angle of (cloud) privacy.

Which side are you on, Apple?

#Swift #SwiftUI #Combine

Yeah, Combine is soft-deprecated, on its way out, whatever

And ObservableObject is old

Am I a fool for still reaching for them when I need to do something like this? Have a raw and debounced versions of a property, both gettable, settable, and observable as needed, both in SwiftUI and anywhere else

And the code is pretty tight I think

How would you do this, say, in the new Observable world without Combine?

Whining about useless SwiftUI preview error

Okay that’s really cool to know, Xcode

Too bad it contains zero useful information for me, or any steps that I could take to fix this

I really have no idea, nor do I care, what are “JIT runmode”, “target descriptions”, and “agent”

#SwiftUI #LLM

Today’s WTF of the day. Was debugging a problem where a Combine-Publisher-driven view was working in macOS SwiftUI preview but not iOS SwiftUI preview (but it WAS working in the actual app). Ended up with this outcome with LLM. I am not sure how correct and idiomatic it is, but it seems to be working.

“This is a known SwiftUl behavior where sometimes views need an intermediate container to properly handle updates” is it actually known? I did not know it.

Do you think that there will ever be a Europe-based smartphone platform?

By “Europe-based” I mean that the entire stack, including software and services, would be owned, designed, and operated in 🇪🇺

I am getting tired of both American crap and Chinese crap

Rant about Xcode

After working for many days with Flutter tools, I thought that I would do something else in an Apple platforms project with Xcode

I would like to work on some UI that’s built in SwiftUI

The preview of this view is just not coming up. The preview canvas is blank. Xcode says “Preparing Editor Functionality” forever

Previews for some other views do come up, but not the one which I need right now

No, this is not quality software and platform

#Flutter

Today I spent several hours debugging a Flutter layout issue in a fairly involved layout with a scrollview + column + flex

I was getting a nonsensical 1- or 2-pixel render overfow in the scroll direction

What I found: there was a Unicode arrow character in text in a different widget that wasn’t close to the overflow site

But it is 100% this one Unicode character that was causing the render overflow error

I wonder if I should isolate the case and file a Flutter bug?

I wish I could screenshot or photograph things in my dreams to transfer them to my real consciousness

This morning in my dream, I had one sheet of clearly printed paper with a simple table of some epic knowledge about who and why we are. Management, politics, psychology. It was some Newton and Einstein level shit. I could fix the world with it

I even started to transcribe it in my dream because I knew I wanted to keep it

And… poof. All gone

The world remains broken
