An Apple UICollectionViewLayout subclass vs a custom one. Notice the header visual effect view's glass is "synchronized" with the navigation bar, making them switch appearance together. No way there is a UIGlassContainerEffect in there somewhere.

Photos on iOS 26 does not use the public bottomAccessory/UITabAccessory API, yet is able to detect when the tab bar minimizes and make that bar fade in and out. Inspecting the hierarchy shows it's just a UIView subclass. So how does it know when the tab bar minimizes?

Adding a new screen to Delta to inform users about the differences when using In-App Purchase instead of donating directly to our Patreon — what do y’all think?

Xcode is a buggy, retarded mess. Pause once, and you get disassembly for each stack frame. Pause a second time, and Xcode is broken. It's not lldb, as `disassemble` produces the correct output. How is that team so incompetent? Then again, what isn't at Apple these days?

@1password.bsky.social Hello, I am getting bombarded by these mails recently. Basically, every time I open Safari on iOS. I could make a filter to put that in spam, but you should be aware of it and fix it.

Ever wondered why ~ represents the home directory on unix systems?
It’s an artifact of a very particular keyboard.
The Lear-Siegler ADM-3A terminal was quite popular in the 1970s, and happens to have a HOME key that is also a tilde.
Notice anything else?

Discovered a fantastic new site today that looks at brand identities from science fiction films. They do lovely graphic recreations and write fascinating analyses of these designs, from both in-universe and production perspectives.

Any Swift equivalent to the ObjC `NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings` macro? It's very useful for debugging.
