The release of USB-A is closer to the moon landing than it is to today and I just got a device that shipped with a USB-A cable
I couldn't find a simple snowflake ornament so I made my own quickly and 3D printed it isn't it cute πŸŽ…
How on earth this got promoted by the App Store team? An app that wants you to subscribe for $10 per week straight away and has a rating of 1.3?
Huge kudos to the Norwegian postal service (Bring) who have designed a proper webhooks based tracking API. Now its deliveries are updated in Parcel almost in real-time. If only all other carriers did that 😠
YouTube wouldn't build an app for the Apple Vision Pro, so I did! Introducing Juno, an Apple Vision Pro app for YouTube, now available at http://juno.vision πŸ“ΊπŸ₯½

I keep getting reports of this Pixel Pals fake on the App Store (that stole my artwork and screenshots and is running ads with scammy costly weekly subs), but the only way I can seemingly report this is a form that gives this creep my home address.

Is there anything I can do?

More people need to know about the "tabular numbers" feature that modern fonts have

Use it to make numbers to line up with a UI font (or anything not monospace)

CSS: font-feature-settings: tnum
SwiftUI: .font(.body.monospacedDigit())

@ivanpavlov @parcel @kraigschmidt @gwcali @joshuabeny1999 @prognis Since I already had the pieces made, here's a round of revisions. I hope you don't mind, @ivanpavlov. Up to you how you'd like to proceed. Gotta admit, though, I'm a little proud of the Xmas countdown idea. I've never seen that in a deliveries app, but it makes so much sense.

Dear fellow #programmer / #technology enthusiast,

I somehow can understand the appeal of creating videos for sharing your thoughts/news.

But videos are
πŸ‘Ž not indexable
πŸ‘Ž not searchable
πŸ‘Ž not copy-paste friendly if at all
πŸ‘Ž impossible to skim through
πŸ‘Ž a major distraction from the train of thoughts

PLEASE *write* down your material if you care about effective comms. A blog, toot, tweet, github gist, whatever...Just do it β„’

A nice side effect of the interactive widgets stuff in iOS 17 is static widgets also get animation improvements when their content updates. E.G. the Weather widget now cross-fades its background and the temperature label changes with a smooth wipe transition.
