@shawn to my business associates, but you can call me Shawn Throop.

The Facts

Listen to the gossip.

A Canadian idiot dancing with Saarländisches Staatstheater. When I manage my time right, I double as a self taught iOS developer.

Shiny is better.

Updating Xcode...

@33MHz well, made it to the other side safe and sound

This is what I get for wanting new emojis. I guess its Catalina time...

@33MHz how's quarantine life treating you?
763535
@33MHz I'm grinning. I had to step away for a few days because I was really hitting a wall but today's progress was a nice surprise.

The diffing that goes on behind the scenes is a bit magical and I've learned to trust it a bit more. Regardless, now that layout data isn't being reset between view updates, the scrolling and inline adjustments to layout are smooth and imperceptible.
763531
Previously, I was using an ObservedObject to hold layout data. This allowed precise control of when the view graph was updated but the data wasn't persisting across updates. State wrapped values do persist but you loose some precision and flexibility.

I got my knock off table view implementation working. Buttery smooth.

Oh and the cherry on top, this is an edited screenshot of Mail showing what is clearly supposed to be a text message. Hahaha

Person of Interest S01E05 [imdb.com] contains what has to be my favourite text message close-up. Skeuomorphic iOS on a flip phone, poorly cropped under the left bezel, and arrows from another OS (probably an image gallery) overlaid on the image.

@Indigo i love me some homemade pizza. I would have made it myself (well, maybe not tonight) if they still had flour at the shops.

There are so many little things in Hanna that I love but Sophie is by far the most hilarious

@Indigo that’s the most I’ve spent in London. We toured there for almost a week and it was fantastic. I know what you mean though, big cities are big. I really dislike Toronto now when I visit in the summers.
762633
@Indigo na, Canadian in Germany. London would be nice but it’s harder to find work there.

Tonight I’m watching a personal favourite, Hanna. Such beautiful and subtle action movie. The Chemical Brothers did the score, directed by Joe Wright, and features a few of my favourites actors: Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett, and Eric Bana. #movieclub

@33MHz I’m fortunate my local pizza place is around the corner and quite cheap. Other food is hard to come by, Saarbrücken isn’t a bustling metropolis.

@33MHz @Indigo hugs from here too

Anything old?
