#Swift tip: if you need to bind a non-optional value to a temporary variable inside a conditional statement, you can use case let, e.g:

if indexPath.section < sections.count,
case let section = sections[indexPath.section],
indexPath.row < section.rows.count,
case let row = section.rows[indexPath.row],
row.isEnabled
{
...
}

This saves you needing to split up the condition into multiple statements, and polluting the local namespace with temporary variables you don't need again.

Current status: sinking back into electronics to teach 3d printed things to move. It’s a hobbyception!

@lorentey I read your 2021 forum post that a mutable SortedArray would be impractical after ~2000 items
https://forums.swift.org/t/add-sortedarray-sortedset-and-sorteddictionary-with-binary-search/47303/2

Is that because of resizing the array or the search that is required to look for a fitting index, or both?

Do you have benchmark code lying around by chance?

Anyone else still mad at #Swift's index(_:offsetBy:limitedBy:) being so cumbersome to use with endIndex? 🤚

Breaking news: I have just fallen over in spectacularly silly slow motion while trying to get off my bike, directly in front of my neighbor.

Damages: one slightly scraped knee, one irreparably shattered self esteem.

(I was on a borrowed bike and it was set slightly too high for me! 🤭)

Good news: I got my new shots for Covid & the flu 🎉

Bad news: I had to stop on the way to CVS to clean my glasses, but it didn’t help — the smudge is in the air. Fire season is here again. 😳

Initial report from my New York expedition:

• Big
• It smells like home
• The Met has some pieces of art on display
• The natives seem friendly
• The quality of food in museum cafes seems inversely proportional to the quality of objects on display
• The subway rats are adorable

Oh gosh, Swift atomics have been accepted! ⚛️ 🎉 This was really quite arduous to bring up, with dozens and dozens of alternative API designs tried, even ignoring all the compiler-level work. We agonized over every detail.

The final variant includes some great API refinements over the swift-atomics package, courtesy of m’colleague Alejandro — the actual atomic operations are no longer coming from protocol requirements! 🧙🏼‍♂️

A wild Swift evolution pitch appears! It overhauls some fundamental Standard Library constructs to allow building things using noncopyable types. It's super effective, I hope
