Visiting art galleries with the kids is mainly an exercise in shuttling between one of them who progresses through rooms at 2x the desired speed and the other who occasionally teleports backwards by 4.

The VSCode plugin and Swiftly installer are two fantastic community-driven projects that continue in their new home at GitHub.com/swiftlang. Thanks to @opticalaberration for doing so much to make Swift a cross-platform language. https://mastodon.scot/@opticalaberration/112598822481463040

every time I hear about “Microsoft Recall" I assume it's about how people have to take their microsofts into the dealer to have a loose wire under the seat secured with a zip tie

Instead of the usual peppy pre keynote designer pop, the Apple gym speakers are pumping out Uriah Heap and it’s so incongruous.

I once had a user who refused to let us install a new version of our app on their machine, saying “I don’t want a new version, I want you to fix the version I have”.

Apparently people are angry about a manifesto? Probably @dgregor79 ruling out adding higher-kinded types to swift.

Percentages add up to 100. As segfaults and exploits due to buffer overruns or use-after-frees decrease, the proportion of bugs that come down to logic errors will increase.
If the way you achieved memory safety (or performance) means your code is so ceremony-heavy that it starts to impact correctness, because you can't so easily see what it is actually trying to _do_, this is unfortunate.
Think about this now, not once we get there.

There's this increasing tendency to talk about memory safety as if, because it's the most pressing problem _right now_, solving it means you've won the battle. But that's not the end goal… it's the start. Literally the least you can do.

Whenever I read the headline “House Republicans Brace for Drawn-Out Speaker Fight” I like to imagine them having a massive argument about whether or not you can hear the difference a supertweeter makes.

I’ve wandered into an alternate universe where I'm dealing with some people who seem only capable of communicating via phone, and its murder. I email them saying we should schedule a time to talk, and they call me to try and arrange that time. I cannot answer so I email them and later that day they call me again. Send help.
