Draw a line through this 12+-year-old effort from Robert Widmann and his 8-year-old exercise in type-lifting Swift [1] and ask yourself: what is he doing now at Apple? [1] https://github.com/typelift/Swiftz

This reminds me of the latest ASML machines coordinating UV laser (angle) and diffraction grating to achieve clean small 2D patterns. I'm curious how hard it is to model light interactions on this scale. What does it take for the autho

It's not really bugs vs design issues. It's more changeable vs unchangeable. Part of that is technical cost, but in my experience most is perceived risk, which is largely a function of understanding and team (leader) confidence.

What in software engineering adds more than the usual stress to working? - Automation is the rule, not the exception. Replace your own work with a script, whenever you can. - Our work product in theory works forever (i.e., until conditions

I like the orange color as another path to recover the sub-tree caches where available. Cache invalidation in arbitrary UI's is hard to get right for most cases. SwiftUI manages state in a similar way, with automatic hashing and view-s

For some historical antecedents... Kent Beck and Erich Gamma in discussing JUnit in early 2000's proposed "pattern density" as a measure of a good object-oriented design. But pattern density was criticized as embrittling. Be

Swift would be the one ring to rule them all, from assembly builtin's to ORM's, running from 32-bit controllers and secure enclave to automatic differentiation on internet-scale fp16 models... if it weren't for Xcode...

"The future of serverless is stateful" I'm a big fan of Cloudflare's openness, e.g., in supporting wasm in workers. But I wonder if building lock-in is really in their customers' interests - or theirs, if people los

I don't really think this is about Lodi, or whether customers should know they could die. It's terrible law that makes this not only happen but inevitable. Objectively, people are irrational about probabilities. Study after stud

The article doesn't really explain the approach taken, to serialize data at the function call boundary. Haskell supports a C API/ABI directly, as does Swift. E.g., Swift String can be shared as cstring, i.e., a null-terminated by

Aside from UI updates, processing includes view-model derivations (e.g., calculating errors), persistence, and loading, all of which are offloaded to dispatch queues or actors and then brought back to the UI/main thread. wrt granulari

Yes, you mean: https://support.apple.com/en-us/109035 Can you tell from this or any other Oracle bug whether Apple is bending its rules for Java? I can't tell either way.

So, is this getting incentives right? Not really, IMO. Even when users select moderation, they should be able to transiently unselect moderation features to get the unfiltered view - to take off the glasses at any time. Otherwise, moderat

This sounds like a cute project but it's a nice tour of cross-compiling and C inter-op that proves Swift could not only be usable for myriad devices, but will likely make them much more accessible with ergonomic safe API's. Swift&

The reality is there are far more qualified people than jobs, so people are selected based more on fit than need. Young people are more likely to just fit, while old people are less motivated by trends and more likely to embarrass others by
