Semantic Versioning is great for many things. Comparing versions is not one of them.

Also, #Apple should really open source their documentation. I'm sure so many people (myself included) would be happy to contribute improvements. It would be game changing for the entire #iosdev ecosystem. (I know there is probably a lot of behind the scenes tooling challenges in making this happen, but Apple really needs to prioritize it since they aren't prioritizing good documentation themselves).

If you're working with the #Apple #Intelligence ImagePlaygrounds API and can't figure out why the `sourceImage` property isn't working, I spent a good part of today debugging this issue. I wrote a StackOverflow question describing my findings. #iosdev

Why is ImagePlaygroundViewController sourceImage not working?

I'm trying to create a ImagePlaygroundViewController in my iOS application and it works great. However when I try to pass in a sourceImage property...

I wish #GitHub allowed for private comments. Way too often I subscribe to an issue only to later forget which one of my projects it was related to.

I didn't realize that the Eve Energy outlets actually transmit energy consumption information via #Matter. Still converting more of them to Matter. But decided to take the leap to using Matter beta in #HomeAssistant and the results are incredible for my Energy dashboard so far. #smarthome

This has to be one of the more baffling things I've run into during my days of iOS development. I never in a million years thought that increasing the cache size even more would work. But for some reason, it did. And I still don't understand why at all. #iosdev

Why does URLCache require diskCapacity & memoryCapacity to be much greater than the response to cache it?

I have the following code.
let customCache: URLCache = {
 let cacheSizeMemory = 512 * 1024 * 1024
 let cacheSizeDisk = 512 * 1024...

Bi-yearly announcement: I'm not looking forward to the clocks changing tomorrow.

GitHub Copilot coming to Xcode.

I just wish #Apple Intelligence would automatically filter out all political spam text messages.

Inbox zero = achieved. Question is: will I be able to sustain it? 😂

I'm super excited to announce my latest #iPhone #application that I built. It's called #Echo for #Lemmy. It is an application for #Lemmy, which is a #decentralized social network for posting news, questions, and much more. It is very similar to #Reddit, but much more open and community-driven. Check it out today! #fediverse #activitypub #ios

Why doesn't the #Apple #Notes app support #markdown?

So the latest #nostr #spam is a "dm-reporter" account. Do people really have nothing better to do than build these spam bots?

For #nostr #developers how do you decide which relay URL to use? I have a system that transmits notes to multiple relays, but for things like reposts (NIP-18) struggling to decide how to determine which relay URL to use for that. Obviously choosing an unreliable relay or a relay that eventually goes offline isn't a good practice. And it doesn't look like there is a way to define multiple relay URLs. What do you all do for this?

There is nothing #Apple can do/say to convince me to buy a new Apple Watch this year. I'll keep my existing watch with Blood Oxygen support. Crazy that Apple can't figure out the legal patent issues with it. #AppleEvent

Happy #Apple Event day!!! #AppleEvent

@AirportStatusBot on #nostr now supports radar images for certain types of delays! This took a lot of engineering effort throughout the entire stack to get working. #Mastodon & #Bluesky bots had this feature for a while, but due to the decentralized nature of #nostr this was more difficult than just uploading an image to a central server.

What is the suggested method for adding an image to a #nostr post? Just add an image URL to the end of the post content? Is it necessary to add any extra tags for this? If there is a NIP that someone could point me to for this, that would be great too. #asknostr

Just pushed a major update to @AirportStatusBot vastly improving the logic for determining the reasons behind delays. This should lead to more detailed and accurate delay explanations. Additionally, many infrequent airport delay reasons have been added. There is still more work to be done, but this is meaningful progress towards increasing delay transparency for travelers.

@AirportStatusBot now supports direct messages! Message the bot and ask it questions and it will reply with some useful information. This feature is in alpha, and still in active development. But wanted to ship it to get feedback. On a more technical note, NIP-17 I couldn't get to work at all with it (only supports NIP-04). Asked in the #nostr telegram and didn't get any replies. If anyone wants to take a look and help debug, let me know. But I think #nostr is on track to fail miserably if developers can't even figure out how to use non-deprecated standards after spending days on it.
