@CitImmCanada @CitImmCanada @CanadianPM @marcomendicino the current system is deeply flawed. A new system that takes into account length of time in Canada, taxes paid, length of separation and other such factors should be brought into effect. Surely this can be done. Please prioritize this.

@ZaneEnders @johnsundell Thanks for the heads up! Will take a look

A quick tip on how to create a custom 404 page for GitHub Pages with Publish from @johnsundell written in #SwiftLang

This bothers me so much (unreasonably so). Whatever happened to consistency?!

@pocketsupport Thanks! I DMed you a video.

[Siddarth Kalra @SiddarthKalra]

@Pocket I love your app but the highlight feature is really broken 💔. You need the hands of a surgeon to use it without the page shifting up or down while you’re trying to highlight something.

@jesse_squires Thanks for the GoatCounter shoutout. Seems like this is exactly the privacy aware and open source Google Analytics alternative I was in need of, for my personal site. Going to give it a try!

Ever wondered what the difference are between Swift, the standard library and Foundation? Me too 😄 https://t.co/FSvqrqWqvW #SwiftLang #FAQ

Stumbled upon a great talk from 2018 by @meghafon on how to bootstrap machine learning for your mobile app. Love the tips on using transfer learning (instead of training something from scratch) and when not to use ML https://t.co/QZ525Eosvx #coreml #TensorFlow #SwiftLang

If you got an iTunes/Apple gift card for Christmas, Apple activated the 85% proceeds rate a week early for indie devs, so there's never been a greater time than now to support indie apps! ❤️🎉

@johnsundell @swiftbysundell I quite like this one: https://t.co/N2yNhkLS6G

@robinkunde @Geri_Borbas @steipete I ran a quick test. Examining the disassembly shows that the non-escaping closure is not inlined (a call instruction is invoked). Optimization level used: fastest [-O3]

[Siddarth Kalra @SiddarthKalra]

@Geri_Borbas Nice 👏the composability of this solution is eye-catching! @pointfreeco has done something similar in the past using functions https://t.co/zm2sMx27nr

late to the game, but just discovered https://t.co/6TxtuNb0g1 / @webaim for checking accessibility of your website. It gives fixes for every error/alert, took ~2hrs to clear all errors & *most* of the alerts. Some are super easy (what lang is your site?), others took some CSS :)

#throwback read (circa 2011) about the @netflix Simian Army https://t.co/c6X6XNZZaV. Janitor Monkey was my favourite of the bunch. I hope they made him a colonel at least.

@Sommer This is great, thanks for sharing! Sounds like you've come up with your own system of conducting retros for everyday life. We conduct retros in software dev all the time but rarely do the same for our lives. I'm guilty of this myself.

[John Gruber @gruber]

Zoom is effectively admitting here that their software has so many memory leaks that rather than fix the leaks, they’re asking for permission to automatically reboot your Mac once a week.

I wish #Swift had a better way of expressing the concept of "is not a type". I know this is just syntactic sugar and all but an "is not" operator would enhance readability
