@engineering_bae Twitter’s backend is slowly breaking because the man-child who owns it now either laid off or drove away most of the engineers

@engineering_bae A diver will find it in 3 years and put it in their YouTube video before returning it. You good 👍🏽

@DonnyWals My plans for the week involve emailing Apple employees demanding a swifty alternative to core data

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@AppleSupport If you tap on the keyboard while moving the cursor, you can highlight text. However, this feature hasn’t been working properly since iOS 13.

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@rmondello Can you make a dedicated password/authentication app? That would make Apple’s authentication features a lot more discoverable. Most people don’t know they exist let alone go digging through their settings to find them.

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@calstephens98 Do the Swift language designers hate the `return` keyword or something? They seem to be getting rid of it in many places and it only makes code more difficult to read for beginners.

@sriramk Here’s a browser extension that does exactly what you’re looking for.

@ParkerOrtolani Phil Schiller is in charge of the App Store, deleted his Twitter account and is also on Mastodon. This isn’t a coincidence

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@SwapnanilDhol Glad to see the team at Apple is focusing on nonsense like this instead of more important things like the stuff promised in Swift 6.

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@rudrank Removing `return` doesn’t add any value for experienced developers. If anything, it makes code less clear for beginners.

@magicianbrain AI doesn’t threaten the careers of programmers yet. AI can’t design or architect large-scale distributed systems. On the other hand, artists’ careers are in jeopardy.

@marcoarment It’s not a problem if you can’t see it

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@simplyroch246 Fixed it for you

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@kodecodev Great, thanks. I think the book — if there’s going to be one — should demonstrate how to avoid race conditions especially when making API calls when a user enters or changes text in a search field. That’s a very common problem that novices face.

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@kodecodev I think networking in Swift deserves its own book. “Networking by Tutorials” maybe?

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@marcoarment Can you create a sample project and put it on GitHub?

[Abel @oofftufftuff]

@Unkle_K It makes sense if you can make an article out of it and generate ad revenue. If it’s being done for almost any other reason, I agree, it’s a bit sad.
