Blend Modes in SwiftUI

Blend modes play a crucial role in digital design, enabling designers to easily create complex visual effects like overlays and textures. They're essential for tasks like photo manipulation, creating lighting effects, and adding depth to images. Blend modes, as the name suggests, blends the colors of multiple layers

Bresenham's Line Algorithm

I took a Computer Graphics course during college, and I've been revisiting the subject. During this recent exploration, I came across something interesting: Bresenham's Line Drawing Algorithm. It's a straightforward and extremely clever method for drawing lines on a pixel-based display. Let's

Exploring Animation Curves

Between my recent SwiftUI projects and YouTube content, animations have become a crucial part of my work. So, I've been down a bit of an animation rabbit hole lately... We'll start with the basics - from linear animations to easing curves - and then we'

Using The Proxy Pattern In Swift 5

Today, we'll take a closer look at the proxy design pattern. We'll get the formal definition out of the way quickly and then we'll jump into some practical examples. What Is The Proxy Pattern? The proxy pattern is a structural pattern that helps you

Functional Programming in Swift [Beginner's Guide | Swift 5 | 2021]

Today, we’re going to take a look at functional programming and I’ll show you why it’s one of the best ways to write thread-safe and readable code and how it differs from your more traditional imperative programming.

Understanding How UUIDs Are Generated

Introduction You’ve likely used UUIDs in projects before and assumed them to be unique. Today, we’ll take a look at the main aspects of the implementation and understand why UUIDs are practically unique, though an incredibly small potential for duplication exists. The modern-day implementation of UUIDs can be

How Do Computers Generate Random Numbers?

Anyone with any programming experience understands that computers are deterministic machines. If you provide the same input, you’ll always get the same output. That’s why having computers generate something by chance is trickier than it may seem. Computers use random numbers for everything from cryptography to gambling, generative

Understanding Daemons

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at daemons. We’ll understand exactly what they are, how they’re implemented, and the scope of their responsibility. Overview Simply put, a daemon (pronounced dee-mon) is an intentionally orphaned background process. Additionally, daemons are detached from the terminal in which
