@camstadesign @henricreates @Apple Apple has been using ⊗ (filled) for clearing fields for a very long time, I don’t think it would make sense to use anything else here

@henricreates @nicolapps @Apple what if the “clear text” button was a dash instead of a cross? apple normally uses dashes to distinguish between “temporarily clear/hide” and “delete/dismiss”

fixed it @Apple

@Roxleton @DylanMcD8 @henricreates @Apple Yeah, I made a mockup of what it would look like on iOS x.com/nicolapps/stat…

@DylanMcD8 @henricreates @Apple They already have a keyboard close symbol

@henricreates @Apple should*

@henricreates @Apple They use the same icon as in iPadOS

@existentializzm Should have said “the constant fear of Liz exposing you on Twitter”

.@nicolapps relax I only bully the founders, we punch up here. 😂

Want to request a new feature that the @convex team should implement? Here's how you do it... > go to ship.convex.dev > you get 100 convex chips > request a feature (you must invest 20 chips to request a feature) > you can back requested features (with chips) > when features get shipped get 1.5x return on chips > spin the wheel weekly for chips Check it out

In macOS Tahoe 26.4 Apple added a new security feature to Terminal that warns users of potentially malicious pastes with a "Possible malware, Paste blocked" prompt. Here how it actually works 🧵

@Colin_d_m Subway Builder buses DLC?

Considering: - Cargo shipping company sim - Airline sim - Political sim with Redistricter data To complicated: - City-builder

In 6-12 months when I finish Subway Builder I may open an indie game studio focused on map games with the other Subway Builder devs. If/when this happens what games would you like us to build?

@DylanMcD8 @luciascarlet Still no Sing? 😢

This new Now Playing view in macOS 26.4 is genuinely the best new feature and is exactly what I've wanted for over 8 years lol (not kidding, I specifically wanted this view for that long)

@ParkerOrtolani I haven’t tried but this technique probably works: georgegarside.com/blog/macos/ima…

obsessed with the new MacBook Neo color themes in macOS, wish all three of them were on each Neo

@existentializzm @AdamSmielewski I’ll also make an alt to keep an eye on you

@AdamSmielewski might make an alt tbh, and block all my coworkers haha

I miss having 20 followers and tweeting into the void

@mil000 She was in SF a few weeks ago!

Does she not realise how hard this would go in SF

I scored 12/40 points last night, ashamed to admit I know way more about systems and databases than I thought I did. To be fair I did just put bill gates and forking for most answers so maybe I just got lucky. 🤙

@Santiagroj5 @ParkerOrtolani Of course, but some users don’t know that, so it makes sense for OpenAI to offer it

@nicolapps @ParkerOrtolani There’s a button in control center that does the same thing?

In what world would I ever want this?

@BasicAppleGuy I don’t believe in coincidences

Lil' Finder Guy!

@gramliu Which class was that? 17-480?

Kinda crazy how this one API design class I took in junior year taught me so much about product intuition and system design, and I'm only realizing now

We’re doing something fun next week at our SF office. If you love systems, you should join!

@ItsJoeyMTime @mikeysee @convex Which rule are you talking about? I believe we only have a rule for argument validation, not for return value validation

@mikeysee @convex Should we disable this rule in ESLint plugin too? I have found one use case where it is useful (exporting the api.ts to use in multiple repositories - npx convex-helpers ts-api-spec)

A thing that has bothered me for a while with @convex is that for the longest time we have told LLMs via our guidelines that they MUST ALWAYS use returns validators on functions. I have long suspected this wasn't needed and just makes the code more verbose and difficult to refactor. So I decided finally to remove those guidelines and saved a couple of hundred tokens of guidelines AND to my surprise saw a nice bump in model performance across the board!
