Second harvest (first one was last week). I undershot when taking stuff from the pile -- I thought I was digging into the ground, but it was still worm castings and egg shells all around.

We managed to get quite a bit in a year!

What is this magic? I have a Pull Request smart folder in Arc! :O

@phranck Arc? Der Browser von https://thebrowser.company/

"Smart folders" so wie bei Finder. Ich erinnere mich nicht, den Ordner angelegt zu haben, aber jetzt hab ich alle PRs meines GitHub Accounts live aktualisiert dort

As users of the web get better at detecting AI images (through sheer mass-exposure), associating your genuine ideas in writing with the crap will backfire.

ThePrimeAgen: "I Interviewed Uncle Bob" - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBXXw2JSloo

This was a fun conversation to watch. (I can listen to Robert Martin for hours, I don't know why.)

One thing Martin often brings up is the doubling rate of programmers every ~5 years. And it's really a good explanation for the shifting of trends and instability of tech stacks, also the 'forgetfulness' of the community. (Apparently the concept of Design Patterns isn't well-known anymore)

What do you think:

Is this, bridged to Swift, zero-overhead when you use TokenType.init(rawValue:)?

@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@mafe When I’m done with the current step I’m putting this in Compiler Explorer or just replace it with a Swift enum and hope for the best since I don’t need the ObjC part anymore anyway.

I'm refactoring the MultiMarkdown parser to clarify the jobs of each component, and to not create and work with objects in invalid states (which I only recently thought more about).

The Diagrams.app is great to quickly create visualizations and play with them. I love it.

This kind of visualization is also almost at the limits of what I can express in the diagrams there, though, because each shape can't have more than 4 connections without getting confusing. Legacy code doesn't fit :)

hi!

My friend is looking into contributing to open source but doesn't know where to start. They have experience in Python, C# (Unity), Swift, and React. Does anyone have some pointers or projects they could look into to get started?

@badcel @beef This is a great start IMO. 👍

@Compileswift I'm super happy, good choice 👍

Just make sure to not update to .0.0 releases too soon :)

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@Compileswift I'm running it Dockerized, so it's quite easy to update and roll-back.

With new major versions they sometimes rush 1 feature at the cost of existing ones. My install isn't even that old, and I ran into an issue where some SQL table indices needed to be manually deleted. So knowing about that kind of stuff is useful.

I experimented with Non-Copyable types in Swift.

I really like that I can enforce borrowing and consuming.

It's a tough sell to inline 'traits' from what used to be protocol, though.

I need to think a bit more on this -- because for this particular type which I don't want to live in multiple places, an underlying reference may change a pointer somewhere.

Maybe I need a different abstraction to have the thing 'expire' properly.

Commander Keen is on Steam, and I didn’t know?! Hold my beer! Backlog shmaglog, this is one classic sonofamitch that needs replaying.

@jtr I get PTSD thinking of Commander Keen. I wasn't good at it as a kid, I still suck as an adult :)

This is an interesting bug.

See the question mark vanish as I resize the text area?

This week, I added """missing""" question marks a couple of times only to later get a compiler error that theVar??.property can't be doubly unwrapped.

@mattiem you can see the faint underline that goes beyond the end of the first visual line, where the glyph of the '?' ought to be :)

The CAP theorem comes up a lot in backend development. But I think many iOS developers that do any sync/CloudKit work would benefit tremendously understanding it.

It is possible you have a mental model of what “sync” is that has been proven impossible to build.

@mattiem I can imagine! CRDTs sound amazing. My stuff is just too simple, I never get to play with these :(
