Why #Xcode is spawning a full simulator in the background (via SimulatorTrampoline) even if you open just ONE .xib file by accident 😭
Does Interface Builder using Simulator in the background now or what?
This not only lights up all your CPU cores for a while but also consumes a gigabytes of RAM just for this - in addition to Xcode usual several gigabytes.
And maybe it's sad - but I might never again use #iPad with a monitor this way! It's fine, but connecting a MacBook is simply more productive anyway 🤷♂️
If I would have just one computing device - then for sure, a monitor is a useful accessory for the iPad, but otherwise - not really I think 🤔
And I must admit - hardware is amazing! Especially screen.
There's also something weird about using it with my monitor + keyboard & mouse in windowed mode.
A weird macOS from alternative reality I guess?
iOS limitations though, are still apparent despite some progress (and even more so in a desktop mode)
I finally found a "solution" to my iPad Pro (2018) upgrade conundrum.
Current #iPad lineup is confusing to say the least. IMO completely missing the point.
Base iPad is too weak, iPad Air have unnecessarily powerful SoC in a shitty hardware (screen mostly) - and iPads Pro are expensive overkills.
So I finally found a refurbished M4 iPad Pro for just slightly more than new iPad Air M4

A tragedy of (almost?) every indie app developer 👀
I can't believe why perfectly fine, simple Contacts app was massacred 😵💫
All those HUGE avatars makes no sense, they slow everything down to a crawl even n fast devices.
Also Spotlight showing recent messages & photos first instead of actually useful data like contact informations.
ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day
but there's this weird thing where people who never shipped anything at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code
it never was

Omg yes! I can't comprehend why multiple windows somehow seems like something hard to do with Electron, why is that?
Is it because websites are inherently "single page" and that limitation extends to web apps on desktop? 🧐
Over the last few days I shipped 2 major features for http://thecommander.app that would shock the pants off 99% of Electron apps out there:
1. Multiple windows – I just love it. I can keep all sessions in tabs or separate windows and lay out my work on the desktop however I want. #macos #macdev #agentic
2. UI session restoration – this feels so natural. I can close the app and relaunch it at the exact moment where I left off.
