I assume you could climb way longer before your battery died. I’ve gotten 1200-1400m elevation before it has died (heckler SL)

dislike that extra weight.. have you tried any of the superlights?

weird that didn’t work the same on both your machines. I’ll have to do some testing but guessing you’ll just need to pick key commands that don’t conflict with the system. // @npub15c5…sjwd @npub1gs9…4xa8

Elon loves to give his employees crazy stretch goals to shoot for I guess. I mean who cares if a bunch of people work ridiculous hours to attempt to make his statements reality. Also having a moon base seems like it would be a whole lot easier to accomplish.

I might be mis-remembering things but pretty sure there were Mac mockups of the sidebar, err bottombar along the bottom. It would actually probably work pretty well with the new sidebar design that's coming.

13 is still the smallest available but definitely could look at adding a few smaller sizes.

- reply

perhaps if you used an NSPanel you'd get smaller traffic lights.. not entirely sure though. It has been awhile since I've needed one of those.
I'll put in a request for a condensed sidebar option and see what happens.

2024-09-14 00:12:18

- reply

Condensed sidebar? I mean if you just move the whole sidebar off the side of your screen that works, right? (well if it is on the left side) ;-)
I can always run the idea by Mark to be able to hide the sidebar (if that's what you are asking).

For those that like really, really like compact windows.. #IvoryForMac

Oh great. Besides breaking this one thing does the new stuff seem to be improved in any way? I had do do so many hacks to get focus to sort of work the way I wanted and am not that interested in trying to redo that. Nothing worse than asking the system to focus on something and it determines it will not because reasons.

I want to say I've had this report before maybe.. definitely not common. Are you really running Sonoma 14.0 instead of whatever is the latest version? I even remember 14.1 fixing some issues in Ivory that showed up in 14.0.

It should work on Ventura but will do some testing and see what's going on.

2024-07-04 20:40:20

yeah the completion method.. oh well if you worked on that code in UIKit you know much better than I. I did try and disassemble some of the glue controller code when I was working on the share extensions in Ivory (also trying to change the modal presentation somehow) but was unsuccessful.

2024-07-04 20:25:42

- reply

try calling that method earlier? loadView, viewWillAppear:? I don't think the extensionContext is available when you are creating your share view controller in init(xxx).

2024-07-02 02:22:51

this is UIKit and AppKit code. I’ll dig up some screenshots but three or so years ago the code became almost useless after disassembly.

what would you call all the sub_xxxxxxx() calls all over the place when disassembling apples frameworks? Sure seems like they are trying to make it really hard to see the code.

2024-07-02 01:37:24

- reply

yeah but does it decompile the Apple frameworks following whatever annoying measures they’ve taken to obfuscate their code?

flipping through main feed and liking some posts. Then scrolling through network feed and liking here and there. As time goes on the jumping while scrolling gets worse. Would add this to GitHub but people were complaining about not being able to upload video.

I think you need to do 'sqlite3 name_of_database_file’. And then .tables should display the tables in that file. Of course I have no core data projects sitting around but pretty sure the file should end with .sqlite file extension.

2024-06-20 00:18:01

- reply

can you grab the group container folder from your device? There should be a sqllite file in there for the database (since based on core data). All the table names are ZZZZEntityName or something similar. In terminal if you can get to the database in the file system you can do ‘sqlite3 database name’ then .tables to list tables then ‘select * from ZzzzYourTsble’ to see the data stored.

the increase in hardware sales and upgrades might be all that's needed to justify the expense. I mean if every year there’s going to be some new LLM that requires the power/chip in the latest iPhone/iPad..

yes our developer made a one-off error on line 256. It has already been fixed in the development branch.

I've enabled it and do see the very small apple music icon at the top of my watch but before turning it off the audio app would take over the whole watch screen.

Hoping that Apple can use AI/ML to figure out that I never want to control my music with my watch and stop always showing the controls I've never used.
