Tools such as Vite, aren’t designed to improve the developer experience of ESBuild. They exist separately and leverage ESBuild’s strong qualities – JS, TS and CSS bundling and minification.

Vite is so much better, IMO. Quicker too, since it uses esbuild in dev mode.

I thought I was going crazy. The reindex frequency is so much higher than it used to be. AppCode is worse than IntelliJ in this regard and building Swift indexes for Cocoapods is unimaginably slow.

AppCode by JetBrains indexes like mad. I have a high specced MBP, it can randomly take 10 minutes to re-index on start. Change target device from iOS to simulator – reindex. Change to macOS catalyst – reindex. Change back to native iOS target – reindex. AppCode can be great when it actually works, which has become rarer and rarer over the past two years.

It’s so bad that I got a refund and now use Xcode. IMO Xcode is one of the worst IDEs. But at least, outside of Xcode’s garbage update processes (which impact AppCode), it doesn’t randomly halt my workflow for 10 minutes at a time.

I don’t think this is a problem that a new machine should solve. The software shouldn’t degrade in quality this much over time.

Apple TV with Infuse. https://firecore.com/infuse

It can connect to Plex, Jellyfin, SMB, NFS and more. Bought a lifetime licence a while back before the price was increased and no regrets so far.

Pretty disgusting behaviour. Reminds me of this high profile case: https://www.businessinsider.com/andres-iniesta-claims-instag...

MK64 was the first MK game I played. Having played titles proceeding it, I feel that MK Wii and MK8 are more balanced. MK64 has horrible rubber banding. It’s to the point where your level of skill can mean nothing if you make one costly error.

MK64 character driving attributes also vary, but the character select screen doesn’t inform players of this http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/N64/MarioKart64.html#Driv...

Pliers wrench are also excellent and a far better alternative to adjustable wrenches. The parallel jaws and pressure added from squeezing prevents rounding of nuts.

You could submit paid products to default Cydia repositories, where you personally handled payments. There was no commission in such scenarios. If you opted for payments to be handled by SaurikIT, a 30% fee was in place.

Cydia had special deals in place for Intelliborn products, I dont think this extended to other groups. Intelliborn previously operated Rock Your iPhone, which was acquired by Cydia and this was a negotiated term.

My iPhone 12 Pro drops frames when scrolling the Flutter Web gallery [0]. Flutter Web also doesn’t support iOS’ ubiquitous tap status bar to scroll to top and has different scrolling acceleration, deceleration and springiness.

Flutter on iOS has had animation hitches since the switch from OpenGL to Metal. Animations drop frames on their first run, during shader compilation [1].

Is it just me or is Xcode one of the worst IDEs going? I mostly use AppCode, but will begrudgingly jump into Xcode to adjust schemes, debug memory leaks, add image assets, etc. But it is a truly awful piece of software. It seems that with every year, Apple fails to improve Xcode in any meaningful way.

Depends where the vulnerability lies. Plenty of iMessage DoS attacks [1-4] have targeted CoreText, which, I believe is written in C and CoreFoundation. I think all of these DoS attacks could be mitigated by not viewing the message and disabling message previews in notifications.

A lot of the UI scripting on macOS is accomplished via accessibility APIs. If you’re interested, check out Accessibility Inspector[0], which ships with Xcode. You can inspect macOS applications in a similar, albeit much more limited way to a web browser’s interactive inspect element function.

You can also accomplish UI scripting via C/ObjC/Swift using the Application Services framework [1].

Pay is honestly decent in my experience. I’ve noticed that Aussies stay at the same company for much longer, compared to U.S. engineers. I’m on my third role in 3 years and will be taking $160K+, total compensation. Not nearly as much as some U.S. roles, but I know people who have worked the same role for 10 years and haven’t hit $100K.

Being a dual national (Schengen/Europe) there’s honestly not that many places in Europe where software pays all that well. Vienna surprised me with how many salaries sit between 40-50K euros for senior positions.

Similar situation in macOS. Sub-pixel anti aliasing was removed in 10.14/Mojave.
