Just ordered a Fellow Prismo for my AeroPress.
I'm not into Espresso at all, but I do like a strong coffee as a base for a latté or some other milk-based coffee.
Any experiences?

Bittersweet goodbye yesterday as my whole team at Nike was disbanded and most lost their jobs 💔
I got this size 52.5 shoe (MBP 16” for scale) signed by everybody to remember my time there.
So… #opentowork again, I hope somebody can refer me to about any opening for a very experienced iOS developer

Hello dear 🇩🇪 Germans 🇩🇪 in my network! 👋
Can you confirm that the translation of the English word “balls” to German in this game is absolutely correct? 🤣

Perhaps the last real computer ever made. I want one just alone for the sound of manually toggling in my POKEs. Satisfactory color scheme and lots of blinkerlighten.
They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore

When you drag in your Local Swift Packages they enter the scope of your Project. New files are immediately seen, and you can include them in your test plan 📦
However they often take the absolute path instead of relative ⚠️

I updated my Constraint package to version 0.10.0 today, allowing you to easily add child ViewControllers and layout them immediately.
It helps you get over that psychological hurdle of chopping up your UIKit screens with the same granularity as you would do in SwiftUI.

When migrating from UIKit to SwiftUI you probably ran into the issue that you cannot store Cancellables in your SwiftUI Views.
It made Combine publishers much harder to use.
But with this pattern you can still access them in your SeiftUI Views without bridging:

We buy it at Ethiopian stores. They have them stacked to the ceiling because they were occupied by the Italians.
We’re pretty much addicted to them. Also a great gift if you get the ones that come in a nice can.

OpenAI in its infinite wisdom decided to cancel my Plus subscription because I missed approving one of my payments.
How very Adobe from from them.
I would like to hear from you about your experiences with alternatives that are strong at:
- General questions
- Code assist
- API integration

Kind of sad that it's easier to get old software working through Wine on macOS than to get the actual macOS software to work?
I guess that's where Microsoft shines over Apple: developer support and API stability.

I found this picture in a photo book about Rotterdam. It’s probably Delfshaven, turn of the century.
It almost looks like a 17th century painting, if it wasn’t for the modern clothing and skates.

I think we all love the reduced boilerplate we get from being able to assign a value directly from a switch while assigning it directly to a value.
But sometimes one clause creeps in that needs more logic. With many cases, adding return anywhere is laborious and also unnecessary:
#swift #xcode
