Editor features for editable local packages are limited, even the project inspector hides some actions and then there is the whole story of schemas, working directory (maybe you want to tweak a binary or another target in that package) etc.

From all the things to work on Xcode... fixing the ghost diagnostic errors, actual hot reload instead of the nightmare Previews are, tooling to help diagnose the now messy Swift 6 concurrency code, that thing where you can't open a pro

Good and honestly it’s high time. There used to be a time when we could give corps the benefit of the doubt but that time is clearly over. Beyond the CSAM, X is a cesspool of misinformation and generally the worst examples of humanity.

I don’t get why they announce it as a “Mac app” when the UI looks and feels nothing like a Mac app. Also electron… again. Why not flex some of those codex skills for a proper native app…

What Mark Rutte has been saying recently is mostly buzzwords for peach daddy's ears (and has been criticises by EU members as it misrepresents our current goals and motivations).

More like... when they use their platforms to promote whatever, you helping those platforms move forward is essentially helping them push the whatever forward. I don't get why is this so hard to understand. Unfortunately, we've go

> I don’t want to come off like I’m shitting on the poster Why not, if they're making people read AI slop without checking it first? They deserve the shit-nudge to fix it.

While tools and software itself is not political, the people behind it are. eg. When CEOs and founders and project leads leverage their audience for politics, then their tools are absolutely a political choice. Be it DHH’s latest fasho ramb

So… this also means anything that was posted on the website could’ve been promoted by someone? Edit: indeed, from the post: > It’s impossible to know how many of the posts seen over the past few days are actually from an AI.

Swift tends to overuse enums, for example people would use them instead of namespaces or when they want a function but don’t want to create a class or a struct which in my opinion has always felt like a work-around for language deficiencies

The explicit ownership model in Rust also protects one from the footguns of actors and Tasks in Swift. Rust also makes most mistakes in that area a build time error which is not only a huge time saver but also helps one learn and improve in

Until you get to the Swift concurrency stuff, or you try to use Swift on a backend or non-Apple system - then it’s hot garbage. If Rust is too low level for you, you can write Go or Kotlin or even something new and fresh like Gleam.

The worst part is since Apple is technically not a 3rd party, many of the rules don’t apply to them even though they bring the same harm to the users. Did you notice the new “creative suite” has analytics with identities linked to your Appl

> Apple's commitment to privacy We know now that it was all marketing talk. Apple didn’t like Meta so they spun a bunch of obstacles. Apple has and would use your data for ads, models and anything that keeps the shareholders happy.

Well, sorry but “play stupid games, earn stupid prices” Letting a glorified lorem ipsum generator have control over anything personal or sensitive is just … what’s wrong with you? You know not of computers?

To me the post reads more like “we couldn’t convince current engineers to adopt LLMs so we’re going to embed it into the curriculum so future engineers are made to believe it’s the way to do things”

And maybe employers/recruiters should be required to include a template (but .doc is not allowed) of what format they expect, disclose if they will be OCR-ing it and with which tool/LLM, will they read it or feed it to an AI etc.

I used to think the only really essential component of a home is to have internet. It’s 20 years later, and I feel anything can be a home as long as it gets regular paper mail every couple of days.

Same here. The moment we see the person with the keyboard on the video it suddenly becomes kind of painful to watch. All these scenes generated from actual footage someone made… it’s also kind of sad.

AI is a horse indeed - eats creative works by humans and transforms them into a steaming pile of… output tokens.
