Anybody ever wanted to localize in Icon Composer? Good news, you're just a hop, skip and a bundle away!

WTAF is Siri able to restart your phone without a physical confirmation. I was asking Siri earlier to restart my song and it responded with "Restart your phone?". I quickly said no, and about a second later my display turned off and it restarted. Who asked for this feature.

Have not seen a single person document this yet, but an Icon Composer's .icon file actually gets transformed into a standard .xcassets folder! Except that opening some of them in Xcode's inspector causes Xcode to crash :)

"native" is the most misused term in 2020s

Fun fact, Icon Composer lags when you scroll in the inspector. This is all while its using 4GB of RAM while idling. I tried loading an asset catalog with 157k entries into my app, and it uses less than half of that. It doesn't even lag when scrolling!

LOL Image Playground crashes on open in 27.0 release (at least for me). Something to do with getting the user's photo library.

@gittower Is there any way to filter the working copy list to just your staged files and commits? Like an equivalent to git diff --cached/staged Would be great to have :)

Also, the staged/unstaged toggle resets every time you select a different file, if it's only partially staged 🫠

using homebrew is a miserable experience imagine not packaging wine because they didn't pay for a developer account

Fun fact, the system's icon compositing framework actually supports gradients with unlimited stops, it's just Icon Composer that stops you :)

Anyone know what the private VFX framework in macOS is used for? Seems to be a sort of full-on rendering engine with world/physics support, editable with "VFX Studio". Even has some Pixar shaders in it. It's old enough where a lot of the logic is implemented in Objective-C still

That's because it's a SceneKit view which is then animated by CAKeyframeAnimations!

It's still happening on Golden Gate 😭
For fucks sake how has someone at apple not noticed that Sequoia just randomly kernel panics if you have time machine set up to back up over SMB (using an APFS sparse bundle). Actually insane.
