Unarmed queers in a gay bar in Colorado Springs were able to do what hundreds of armed men couldn't do in Uvalde.

Xcode 12 has a slick new feature that shows CALayers in the view debugger along with any performance optimization opportunities.

(I purposefully disabled pre-existing optimizations to see what the tooltip would suggest.)
Not to mention I spend way more time debugging than writing code. So unless Apple can ship an equivalent debugging experience with this hilariously rumored "Xcode for iPad" then it'll be DOA. xitter.cf/SteveBarnegren/status/…
It's unclear to me how Xcode for iPad would realistically build most projects. Projects require bash scripts, command line tools, python, ruby, dependancy management, file operations etc. Take a look at your build phases. Just Xcode for iPad surely isn't enough

Anyone else cringe when App Store marketing screenshots have inconsistent status bars? Time gaps in the clock, location tracking, low battery, etc. It surprises me to see old-school, influential Mac developers not consider this attention to detail.

[1/3] It does seem increasingly weird that the tech press never writes about @handmade_hero, despite the high number of people who watch it and the surprisingly large number of people who have gotten jobs from it...

I'm heartbroken about what's happening in my country. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. It's time for good people with different views to stop finger pointing and come together to address this violence for the good of our country.

Oh neat, they scored an interview with @pschiller. Worth tuning into this one.
