What web platforms are people enjoying for writing technical content that aren't Medium? I want something low friction to get setup and running, that allows for well structured articles, code syntax highlighting, etc.

Traditionally, I've used https://gohugo.io for this.

Does anyone have any guidance on running multiple VMs for CI on a single Mac mini? If I run two side-by-side, it's so slow as to be unusable - I'm looking for advice on memory setup, core counts, etc.

Is there a way to declare via a Swift Protocol that a property must be isolated to AnyActor in Swift 5.10?

It's 10:40 and I am now ready to open Xcode and do work, after a solid morning of messaging people about the corporately mandated security software on their laptops.

Again, I'm not sure it’s the best use of a principal engineer, but at least I get to have a chat to individuals on the team 🍻

Apple's weird hiring practices and insistence on hiring non-remote for their positions is their loss.

They're missing out on some top-shelf developers/comedians.

My kingdom for a true 5K 120Hz+ refresh rate Thunderbolt 4 monitor.

This 60Hz nonsense is hurting my eyes!

I was watching a YouTube tutorial on running nix on macOS, nodding along and impressed by defining a setup using a flake file, and then the person said "and now we're going to install homebrew using nix because there are packages in there that aren't in nix” and I nope'd out so hard.

Packagemangerception isn't cool.

@pointfreeco your latest article mentions UIBindable and UIBinding — how did you find these? Are they documented somewhere?

I just threatened to legally change my six year old daughter’s name to “Hagrid” if she didn’t get in the shower.

It didn’t work. Now she is naked and running around the house kicking people in the butt.

Those were OpenAI employees cheering at their Spring update, right? What is it with the US and fake corporate excitement? It's the same vibe as Apple employees cheering and high-fiving conference attendees.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Swift package for generating fake data to inject into my previews/SwiftData store?

#SwiftData's ModelContext.didSave and ModelContext.willSave don't actually work in any current OS release, do they? FB13509149

Oh dear. I bought a used set of the 2nd gen AirPods Pro with the USB-C case, and they were delivered today — they are the most remarkable counterfeits! 😓

Now I have to play the game with eBay to get a refund.

Why are people awful?

I've resurrected Vadym Markov's Fakery as Mockery: https://github.com/tonyarnold/Mockery

Not sure what the plan is yet — I'd like to bring it closer to faker.js, but it also feels like there should be a smarter way to maintain and update the bundled sample data.

@simonbs you mention on the Tartelet page that running two VMs on a single 16Gb Mac mini works well — what's the config of the tart VM in the performance example?
