iOS developer living in San José, CA. Originally from Barcelona.

I really like to read and learn what others are doing with the tech that interests me.

#SwiftUI, #Swift, #Frameworks, #Vapor, #Postgres and some #Docker.

I love to take my motorcycle for a spin on the weekend.

Germany is banning the rector of the University of Glasgow from entering the EU. Because he’s a witness to genocide (as a surgeon who among other things repairs blown off faces of children) who was to speak at the French senate.

Germany has completely lost it.

@rzeta0 @thomasfuchs I just wonder what horse has Germany in this race, so to speak. Why is it doing Israel’s bidding? Reparations for WWII? Guilt?

I'm a bit intrigued by the Italian-made Seabike concept. Seems like an obvious thing in retrospect so curious why there haven't been things like it before.
Anyone tried it already?

Good post by @heckj on what he learned and the tradeoffs he did when designing an API for strict swift concurrency support.

The best part are the regrets he has, good guidance for those of us starting on our strict journey:

@Migueldeicaza @krzyzanowskim @heckj The thing is… I just haven’t suffered that many cases like you describe. Sure! Some, but I honestly had a pretty good grasp on GCD. Crashes are rare and far between. So spending all this time adopting SC is not productive. Let alone fun. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@krzyzanowskim @Migueldeicaza @heckj Strict concurrency has completely taken the fun out of programming.

@titociuro@mstdn.social avatar

@Migueldeicaza @krzyzanowskim @heckj Yeah, right. 🙄 I love your work, and I think it’s more complex than the average iOS app. While SC will help you conquer those daemons, I think it’s overkill for most apps. I dunno… I must be old school, but I sure feel more comfortable with GCD.

Mac tip: say you want to annotate a graphic and save it as PDF/PNG/JPEG.

  • locate the graphic and copy it (e.g. in Safari, right-click and select Copy Image.)
  • open Preview (Applications folder)
  • create a new document (Command-N)

Preview will automatically open a window with your graphic. Now you can select the tool you want from the toolbar and annotate it as needed (i.e. arrows, bubbles, text, etc.)

Finally, select File > Export… and choose your preferred format… and voilà!

Looks like I’m going to double down on . The use-cases I’m seeing so far are blowing my mind. Super powerful… and the simplicity of the resulting code. 🤯❤️

@drahardja Let’s assume for a moment that he gets reelected. I suppose all these countries would no doubt make an exception, don’t you think?

“Including other GPUs, Zuckerberg said Meta has a total of nearly 600,000 H100 equivalents of AI compute. One such chip carries a roughly $30,000 price tag, meaning Meta's total chip array costs somewhere in the region of $18 billion.”

One thing I still don’t get about Mastodon (and perhaps the Fediverse): search feels either broken or undercooked. Either way, the experience is subpar. I can tap on some users’ followers and it works as expected. Other users, nothing. This happens in all clients I have installed. Searching for toots that I know contain a certain value (e.g. iOS 17) come back empty. The experience is pretty bad, I assume even worse for newcomers. Why is that? 🤔

“Growing population in America’s highly educated enclaves has led to huge gains for the Democratic Party. And Republicans are scrambling for answers.”

Scrambling for answers? As in “OMG, why is this happening?!”? Geez… wild guesses here:

Because they’re trying to decimate everything they touch or think about?

Because they won’t let anyone live their lives?

Because they act like leeches?

Because they love to divide us?

Because… I’m tired of writing. Gonna get a beer.

Karma is a bitch. 🫢

I finally got around deploying my app to fly.io and it was pretty darn easy. Kudos to @mikaelacaron for her presentation on YouTube. That helped quite a bit. I did hit a snag when I was forced to specify Swift 5.9 nightly, but the rest went smoothly. https://youtu.be/DLNwsirD3XY?si=n3uBkY4YEUq5maSe

Huh. Just discovered that my monitor's weight is "whatever it takes to slowly break the desk"

This seems like something that will become a problem in the near future.

@rodhilton I solved the same problem going to Home Depot, lumber department and find solid, from the discarded wood bin. I ask them if they could cut a thick-enough cube (3 in/ 10 cm if I recall). Didn’t want to charge me anything. I use it as extra support and works like a charm.

@rodhilton Underneath. Completely hidden from view. It provides a solid anchor, I have a 32” display and does not move at all. We use the same method at work and it’s 👍🏻

If you could go back in time for just a day, relive any day in YOUR LIFE:

  • Would you do it?
  • What day would you revisit?

@davemark I would.

September 16, 2022. At 7:45h, I would make sure my son Javier would be under surveillance at Stanford’s ER. Perhaps then he would have had a chance to make it through.

$500,000 of sand dumped onto beach to protect houses "washed away after just three days".

I'm confused:

  • The symptom? The beach was eroding. Cause waves and stuff. Sand as a barrier has failed here. More sand? Failed again.

Next step? More sand? What the what? Am I missing something?

@davemark There is a saying in Spanish:

“El Hombre es el único animal que tropieza dos veces en la misma piedra.”

In English:

“Man is the only animal that stumbles twice on the same stone.”

So, there. Par for the course.
