Ever since I read about Rodney Brooks and his idea of the Subsumption architecture I've been convinced that something like this is going on in our minds - likely with some other mechanisms too. It just clicks for me - I'm mostly l

I think it’s important to remember that you don’t have to wait until you retire to live your life. Finding a balance between your work and personal life is the most important thing to get sorted as early as you can. This looks different for

Looks like a fantastic device. Any chance of getting these to Australia? I can’t see a shipping option.

I live in Sydney and we have a bunch of these on the street. There’s also one in my next door neighbours small back yard growing over my house. I think I might be in the minority but I really don’t like them. The tiny leaves fall all the ti

An impactful thing you can do for your health is delete all of your social apps and disengage from the circus completely. I did that a couple of months ago and it’s improved my concentration and given me back a lot more time to do other thi

Interestingly they've gone for a UIKit approach on iOS. I would have thought for future proofing they would have gone straight to SwiftUI. In my experience so far the transition has already started.

This is wonderful, well done. The limitations you mention just add to the style.

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s I worked at a game studio. One of the things we got in to were DVD games - we built a tool that was used to create quizzes on DVD players. Feels pretty similar to this - lots of fun.

Thanks for this. I was going to do something similar because my wife and I can’t think of a name and we only have 4 weeks to go!

I’ve had a similar path to you. Whenever I’m having a frustrating experience with them I just remind myself that it’s better than it used to be. It used to take weeks to resolve things - now it merely takes days. The problem is that most of

This made me think about how we use the term 'over engineered' in our industry. In most industries it seems to be a good thing (i.e. space shuttle). In our industry it's synonymous with bad, unnecessarily complex code. We

Was a joy to do it while I was in lockdown. It’s a bit buggy but generally works if you have an Apple Music library with some albums added. If you have any issues just kill it and start again!

Thanks for the video I’ve not seen that one before. There should be a PR up on GitHub somewhere with my fixes (search kemalenver) and you should find it. We had some issues getting it merged. The work Robert and Tom did with it while at bl

Cinder is fantastic. I spent the start of last year fixing an old iPad app that was built with it called Planetary. It’s free on the App Store if anyone is interested. By pure chance I ended up getting in touch with the original developers

Same as me. I really liked that too. I always read it as x becomes equal to y.

I’ve been working with iOS since about 2008. I haven’t touched core data for about 10 years...it’s not worth the pain.

At this point I actually prefer the cocoa methods of creating UI. This kind of tech also affects the architecture of the app that is utilising it - SwiftUI and the like seem to be quite prescriptive in terms of application structure, where

Thanks for your recommendations. I'll probably be using metal or vulcan for most of my work so I'll need to get an overview of those (I last did graphics work with OpenGL back in the late 90s), but I really want to get an underst
