Over on the new ASOS tech blog I've written about how we use Swift generics and descriptors to load and display product images, icons and placeholders on iOS medium.com/asos-techblog/usi… #swiftlang #iosdev

Using generics and descriptors to standardise icons, images and placeholders on iOS

Building an image descriptor type to define image resources and how they should be displayed in a UIImageView

I'm so very much in love with the principles Apple are adopting with SwiftUI and Combine ♥
Why does it take so long for the WWDC videos to be available!? 😓
There’s nothing like waking up with a simple solution to the problem you’d been struggling with all night!

Just found some drag and drop functionality on the iPhone Podcasts app — not that you can do anything with it! 😄
I think you need better QA’s @vampbrands — At least 3 and no more than 1? At least 3 and no more than 3? 🤦🏻‍♂️

TIL that you can pre populate your app for testing by just downloading your apps data and setting that to be used by your tests in the scheme editor. It took me an entire day …

Pro Tip: Having trouble navigating huge Swift file trying to comprehend its public interface? While viewing the file in Xcode, hit 👉 Control + Command + Arrow Down Xcode will generate an interface of the file without any implementation inside.

If you were wondering where I've been for the last couple days, this is why. We've released a definitive update on the @pipdig story. Proof that they've issued false denials, attempted to conceal evidence, and have targeted their competitors directly. wordfence.com/blog/2019/04/p…

Pipdig Update: Dishonest Denials, Erased Evidence, and Ongoing Offenses

In last week’s post, we reported on some concerning code identified in the Pipdig Power Pack (P3) plugin. The plugin, which is installed alongside WordPress themes sold by Pipdig, was found to...

Another one from the @pipdig plugin. If you use one of their themes on @bluehost then they intentionally slow your website down by disabling the BlueHost cache plugin, then they can inject content with the title "Is your host slowing you down?" CC @jemjabella @heyitsmikeyv

Managed to demonstrate Pipdig's "kill switch" on a test install of Wordpress with pipdig Power Pack (p3) v4.7.2. It worked, which confirms they have the power to remotely delete your entire blog & every post you've ever written simply by typing your blog URL into a text file.

It also confirms they lied. They _still_ have the ability to wipe any blog that hasn't updated to the new plugin version (4.8.0), which they hurriedly released to delete the kill switch after they were exposed the other day.

I've not managed to reproduce the remote password reset. Getting an error when the cron is run. Either functions.php isn't included properly for cron jobs and there's a bug, or my local setup isn't fully working!
