Angus and Malcolm Young hit guitar strings so fucking hard.

AC/DC - "Whole Lotta Rosie" (Live, 1977)

@gruber @Gte @hotdogsladies As opposed to ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ from 1977 which for me is a quintessential late 1970s movie.

"Apple says the majority of Mac users also own an iPad, which likely means macOS is never coming to the iPad"

I, for one, don't want macOS on my iPad.

I love the simplicity of the magic piece of glass that is iPad.

I do wish we had an iPadOS that worked more cleanly with my Mac. Hard to put into words, but I wish the shared models were more similar.

Finder on the Mac and Files on iPad for example. Very different experience.

But macOS on my iPad. Nah.

@davemark I find I am already greatly missing the Smart Keyboard Folio.

It allowed you to use your iPad like a tablet and have a decent touch keyboard with it at all times.

Sorting data by multiple criteria can be complex, but Swift's built-in tuple comparison feature simplifies the process. Using tuple comparison, we can efficiently sort and organize data by various fields. Check out my new post to learn how: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/MultiCriteriaDataSortingWithTuples

@natpanferova @schwa It is probably a part of SE-0283.

It was accepted back in 2020 but still doesn’t have an implemented status.

🍕 We needed a speaker to fill in 48 hours before Deep Dish Swift started and… @mattiem agreed to the madness!

Matt delivered a funny, energetic, and inspiring talk about Swift Evolution that built upon @jamesdempsey talk a few sessions earlier 💪

Matt is a hero 🫶

    ‘Goodbye to Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio’

    @jamesdempsey@mastodon.social avatar

    @daringfireball I really love the Smart Keyboard Folio and have been using it with my 2021 M1 11-inch iPad Pro.

    I ordered a new M2 replacement the day before the iPad event as a hedge.

    Now I need to wait until May 15 to see if the new Magic Keyboard will meet my needs or if I will become an iPad luddite.

    My talk at @DeepDishSwift was about the Swift Evolution process.

    I've never pitched a proposal before but I got home from the conference, something occurred to me, so I just wrote it up and pitched it!

    Thank you to everyone who gave feedback on my talk and to @mattiem for your awesome talk. That all helped spur me on to my first pitch!

    @schwa It just occurred to me in general the AI Pin will be kind of annoying to use indoors and outdoors if you need to wear a jacket or coat.

    A lot of detaching and reattaching. (and probably accidentally forgetting to do so)

    Years later and I still have no idea how Xcode's tabs are actually supposed to work. They tend to get in my way and I just ignore them as much as I can.

    ⇧⌘O FTW

    jamesdempsey,
    @jamesdempsey@mastodon.social avatar

    @brunoph @davedelong

    I understand what Xcode does with tabs.

    What I don't understand is how the behavior is supposed to be helpful or useful.

    (And I’m very open to understanding this.)

    Xcode 15.3 with Swift 5.10 has been released!

    Next stop, Swift 6.0!

    (If this year is like past years, we probably won't see an Xcode beta with Swift 6.0 included until WWDC)

    Hey again California friends!

    They say turnout is going to be low for next week’s primary, so your vote will count more than usual. ;)

    Encouraging you to vote!
