#introductions I'm Kyle. 👋

iOS developer 📱 (now Android too actually, by accident; long story).
Started programming making simple games for iOS, then iOS jailbreak tweaks, then making apps as my job.

Love tech, programming, sci-fi, StarTrek (TNG 👍), Marvel, etc...
Also love Snowboarding and parkour.

I've been on Twitter for years (90k posts, mostly retweets). Was on mastodon.social but have moved here now.

"Implementing Handoff in Your App | Apple Developer Documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/task_management/implementing_handoff_in_your_app?language=objc"

Is this Handoff tutorial on Apple's website out of date? It doesn't mention anything about UIScene's and multiple windows.

The website includes screenshots, an FAQ and a PressKit containing some example 360 images to view in Spherium, in case you don't have any saved.

Website: https://spherium.app
FAQ: https://spherium.app/faq/
AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1502130060

Spherium can also take normal photo style snapshots of 360 images for you to share.

(beach pictures: 360, screenshot, snapshot)

Designed to view and share 360 images from your Photo Library.

Does URLSessionWebSocketTask just not tell you when it loses connection?

I'm getting the same error as this post. URLSessionWebSocketTask will instantly log lose of connection to Xcode's console, but none of the delegate methods are called.

"Anything that has a simple and elegant feature-set ends up coöpted by people who just want to build big ungainly architecture and ends up inheriting features from whatever megacorp the coöpters came from.

"If you are running a truly enormous system and want to have ... for it, ... may be the tool for you. For 99.9% of people out there, it's just an extra layer of complexity that adds almost nothing of value."

This applies to sooo many things in modern tech.
Not just Kubernetes & HTTP2/3.
