I recently discovered that if we add an image name to the Localizable.strings file in a #SwiftUI project, SwiftUI will automatically use the localized string as the image accessibility label. We don't even have to apply the accessibilityLabel() modifier to the Image view.
I also added a quick tip on my blog about this: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ImageAccessibilityLabelsFroLocalizableStringsFiles/

So if I may ‘dad’ you all for a minute: Check your smoke alarms and your CO alarms. Have one at every level.
Also, if you’re stupid like me, marry someone with brains and listen to the damn alarm immediately.
Merry Christmas and hug your loved ones!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Happy holidays! I hope everyone has a wonderful time with family and friends. But I know this time of year can be painful too - sending love as well. ❤️
Sushi on Christmas Eve. As one does. (Soooo good.)

“White” is NOT a race…although it is codified as such [see any government application]
“Whiteness” is a moving target that expands and contracts based on who, in that moment, is ALLOWED to benefit from and leverage its systems, institutions, and policies of white supremacy and anti-Blackness
Who’s “white” changes whenever those in power need to distract its beneficiaries, from addressing the inherent harm and violence that is white supremacy; making them a complicit partner in exchange

And yes, Apple’s password manager syncs Verification Code generators. You don’t ever need to worry about losing a phone or getting a new phone and losing any of your codes.
@savetz We visited in July. It’s really cool.

SwiftUI is looking for interns!
FAQ:
* Both a frameworks internship (writing Swift) and a compiler internship (also writing C++) are available
* Unfortunately not remote friendly, but housing is provided
* Paid (I don't have exact numbers but I've heard it's typical FAANG internship rates)
* I can vouch for the hiring manager not being an asshole
* Usually 3 months starting in the spring but timing can be negotiated

We’re not against Christians, we're against Christian Nationalism. We're not fighting men, we’re fighting patriarchy. The target is not white people, it's white supremacy. We don't oppose heterosexuals, just homophobia. Join the work dismantling oppressive systems.
@colin Boop life FTW. Also ❤️ excellent transit.
I've asked a similar version of this question before, but I'm going to ask again to clarify what I'm interested in. If you are a watch app developer who encourages users to put a complication from your app on their watch face so you get more background app refresh opportunities, what do you do with those opportunities, aside from updating the complication itself?
@colin Using my watch to pay my Tube fare made getting around London so easy.
Finally listened to the first 5 episodes of Ultra on a hike on Saturday and the last 3 on my evening walk tonight. Fascinating (and frightening) history… and a reminder that history repeats. https://rachel-maddow-presents-ultra.simplecast.com/

Apparently there are people out there who think it's inappropriate to use Mastodon to talk about books you've written or promote projects you've worked on because it's marketing and self-promotion?
I am not one of those people. I implore you to write about the work you have done and the things you have made - I want to hear about that stuff!
