Yep this is making me uneasy too @SlackHQ — really breaks down the idea/cultural expectation of DMs as “private,” with specific targeted recipients. https://t.co/GuPjBEZBIL

[Alex Mullans @infin8x]

That you can now add people to @SlackHQ threads totally changes how I write DMs. I get that you could make a private channel before but I appreciated that friction. Now I feel like I have to remember that every DM could expand. How are other folks feeling about it?

I owe so much of my success to the Wilkers and 360. I know many of you do as well. Now it’s time for us to give back and help them the way they have helped us for so long. https://t.co/LZbJPNP8Uk

HELLO I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING

"I could really use a 40 page treatise on uninitialized memory, move semantics, and destructors. Hopefully it's an absolute feverdream."

DO NOT WORRY, I HAVE CREATED IT FOR YOU

NOW I MUST COLLAPSE

Pro tip: If you've created a bunch of new files in Git, use `git add --intent-to-add` (or `git add -N`) to move the files from untracked to unstaged. This way you can incrementally stage hunks similar to how you can stage hunks from previously committed files.

I should really write a blog post about the long, looooooong journey Linea’s watercolor brush took to get to your iPad. I’ve wanted it for so so long and with the amazing engineering help of @whattherestime4 it finally became a reality in v4.

unicode is complicated because languages are complicated because people are complicated

going "ehh these complexities don't matter in the context i'm working in" is the same as going "ehh these people don't matter in the context i'm working in"

don't do that

[Marcin Krzyzanowski @krzyzanowskim]

it may be a shocker to the English-first world, but PersonNameComponentsFormatter exists and you should use it instead assume things about names.

@jfahrenkrug Glad it helped! Cheers

iOS 15 introduces a new way for you to conveniently update content displayed in existing cells in UICollectionView and UITableView: reconfigure.

When and why should you use reconfigure? How is it different from reloading an item or row?

Let’s dive in with a quick thread.

I was fortunate enough to work with Willow at a previous employer, and I can’t recommend her enough. https://t.co/3DOvPql9S6

I joined Basecamp just over a year and a half ago. Today I am leaving. Technical support, digging into logging to find out what happened, and building the technical skills on my team are things I'd love to keep doing.

[Tim Ekl @timothyekl]

@isaiah Yep - the Swift language team is incredibly well versed in the “state of the art” re: other languages, and they will very often compare & contrast in posts. For example, the “UI of generics” post mentions C++20 and Rust in the first paragraph. https://t.co/8Q2Kc8pbK2

Hey, did you want to start your Monday reading 4500 words about the Swift type system

because if so, do I ever have the post for you https://t.co/4qMCpqcO6U

[Sommer Panage @Sommer]

An iOS #accessibility tip to start the weekend!📱(I see this mistake a lot.) Don’t put your element type (i.e. “button” or “link”) in your accessibilityLabel. Use the accessibilityTraits property for this info! (And be sure to preserve other traits with oldTraits |= newTraits)
