I still don't get how y'all get LLMs to output useful code.
I find them useful for isolated snippets and documentation, but they completely break down on anything more complex.
There is a threshold at which the output stops being useful and instead becomes a burden.

One under-reported and easily misunderstood concept of @swift.org concurrency is blocking vs suspension. I created a simple gist for experimentation, which helped me solidify these foundational concepts. gist.github.com/blu-Fox/c184...

#iosdev can we agree to delete all #concurrency blog posts written before #swiftlang 6.2+? This soup of keywords is not getting any easier if we (and our LLMs) swim in a sea of outdated advice.

@alexozun.com I finally watched your Typestate pattern talk. Really well done!
In the back of my mind I have a question about performance. If the model, e.g. Car, has lots of value type properties. Surely it's not good to copy all of them all of the time?

Word of the day: **monomorphization**.
It jumped at me during my ongoing deep dive into dispatch mechanisms of @swift.org.
So anyway, here is a monomorph, the compiled younger brother of the xenomorph.
Have a fun #WWDC everybody! 🥳

@massicotte.org what's your take on Swift 6.2 changes in concurrency? My understanding is that `nonisolated(nonsending)` will break the rule that isolation is controlled by definitions.

@massicotte.org thanks again for a stellar meetup on the topic of #Swift concurrency on Saturday. I took a deep dive into your excellent blog. I’m starting to think the `nonisolated` keyword is misleading.

When Russians spread propaganda about Ukrainian elections, realize that tampering with Ukrainian elections is the only realistic way for Russia to achieve their long term ambitions.
He will use propaganda to divide the people of Ukraine against each other. The society will fragment, and he will take advantage of the right wing elements of society to manipulate them into electing a government under Putin's control.

We don’t even say we’re sorry, because we’ve been put under a gag order. I can’t even talk to my partners. I can’t even say, “Hey I’m really sorry to have totally fucked you over and your life.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...
‘Americans Can and Will Die from This’: USAID Worker Details Dangers, Chaos
The sudden scapegoating of the once-bipartisan agency has left front-line workers in foreign countries stunned and abandoned, without even a contact in Washington.

WIDGETS: GAME CHANGER OR GIMMICK? Developers, have you seen an uptick in users as a result of interactive widgets? I like them and my apps have them, but as a user, I almost never actually use them 🧐

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.
We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.
Joy is my favorite weapon.
