Twice today on SO I've seen a new (to me) Swift mistake, and I'm puzzling through where it's coming from. Two people took async methods, and slapped a trailing closure on the call rather than using await. I know this can work in the other direction for ObjC-imported methods, but it still seems a strange mistake to make.

My gut feeling is they think trailing closures are "magic async syntax" rather than understanding how they work (which is understandable given how opaque the syntax is).

@brandonhorst @cocoaphony I like single trailing closures but the syntax for multiples has never made sense to me.

Hey , I would like to change the tool I'm using for time tracking (currently Harvest) with something that:

a) works offline and doesn't require server sync.
b) allows me to export/import timesheets in a raw format.
c) works on macOS and/or Linux.

Do you have a favourite?

Thanks 🙏

@ctietze @konstantin Second this. I use Timing and it works really well on my Mac.

"Services" is the most misunderstood, underused, and ignored feature nobody cares. Open only by accident, and the content doesn't make sense anyway.

change my mind

@krzyzanowskim I agree it’s misunderstood and underused. Only native Mac apps add to it, but they can be great. Thanks BBEdit & Warp especially. I have also made my own Services using Automator which is very convenient.

    Bit of a long shot, but could my good mastodon follower folk give me some boosts?

    I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.

    I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!

    @drewtoynbee @GeekAndDad Adding some hashtags is a good way to increase views.

    In case you missed this yesterday, I am reposting a link to my latest video on Swift KeyPaths. I still don’t know why it took me so long to discover the power. For me, this was a missing link. Would love to hear what you think too. https://youtu.be/2-fzccDtc7o

    @StewartLynch As someone who never understood why you would use KeyPaths except for sorting, this video taught me a lot. Highly recommended.
