Ordering 64GB RAM instead of 32GB is 3 times as expensive 🙈 (I originally didn't get that, but one 16GB slice is essentially 1k, but one of them is already included in the base server price. So getting two slices is 1K extra, getting 3 slices is 3K extra, so that actually makes some sense)

It seems like some devs are kinda hoping that dev relations will get better w/ the new CEO. I personally think that's bollocks. The number one task of a CEO is to produce value for the shareholders, literally nothing else, that's the job description.

Is this good? I have no idea, but it looks interesting. I kinda think it's only a matter of time before we have someone LLM'ing an actually viable open source SwiftUI https://miniswift.run/

A senior developer on XYZ to me is not someone who worked x years on XYZ as often suggested (like you worked on some iOS app for 5 years, you are a senior). There are tons of people doing XYZ for long periods and giving a shit about it, mostly because it's just a job. To me a senior dev is […]

I'm alone@home this week, so I'm eating the simple things. #food

> I'm sorry — I should have asked before running `git checkout --` on your modified files. How do you want to recover? I guess I go with a glass, or two, of Metaxa 7.

Wenn die Tochter fragt was "viertel acht" bedeutet, weiss man eigentlich schon, dass man versagt hat.

It's a little weird how bad the YouTube subtitles are, isn't it?

I think my top wish for #wwdc would be ways to properly integrate the SwiftNIO event loop into the concurrency runtime (so that async/await can be used w/o hopping threads all the time). Or maybe just make the NIO event loop part of the concurrency runtime in the first place.

MacOS X Server was a thing. Essentially self hosted iCloud. It’s sad that Apple cancelled that.

I imagine big Swift Package Index announcements on WWDC, just feels like it :-)

I'm currently toying w/ a small Grafana native app (is anyone using Grafana and would like to play with it? I could use some feedback). Naturally, you'd use SwiftCharts for doing the graphs. Which I started with. But there would be a huge lag when trying to resize the windows. It's a performance […]

Irgendwie scheint es gerade unmöglich aktuelle Rackserver käuflich zu erwerben? Warum? Ich dachte nur der RAM wird 3x so teuer.

I think iCloud.com is a pretty cool thing that goes completely under the radar. I know plenty of people who have no idea it exists. It's Apple web apps that provide a ton of things that you'd usually have to use your Mac/iPhone for, but actually work in any browser. Pages(!), Numbers, KeyNote(!) […]

Swift already has so much compatibility baggage that they should just leave it as Swift 1 for legacy projects and do a Swift 2. Oh, wait.

I‘m not a Technic fan but this looks tempting: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/batmobile-tumbler-42239

Hm, I just watched the Project Hail Mary movie. I guess it’s not bad. But you might want to read the book instead. Amaze!

Meh, swift-log and swift-metrics are so annoyingly opinionated. Let me decide how I want to setup my logging or metrics 🙂

Klaus Kode, nice, haven't seen that before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o6Fkj3buxM

I wonder whether WWDC might bring a replacement for the Pro Display XDR. Maybe alongside some Cube Mac Pro. Studio displays are nice but a bit too small for coding. (30“ Cinema Displays have been the sweet spot size wise IMO)

With the pending CEO change WWDC might become kinda interesting? I have no idea what to expect. Essentially no wishes except unreasonable ones (like say SwiftScript).

AI slop is not worse than human slop, there are a lot of coders that produce incredible slop, and that always has been the case. I’ve had a coworker 25y ago that was known to produce results quite quickly, but it was also all slop and a maintenance nightmare. In a current project I work on, the […]

People often complain about some SwiftUI bugs, lack of feature XYZ and such. But I think they often miss the structurally deep / conceptual issues. Like how many instance methods does `View` have? Something like 500+?

"Perhaps you’ve come to Mastodon to argue, but I’m 0% interested in that." Some people only spread news I guess

"Preis bald ab", was ist denn das jetzt wieder für ein Witz?

Hier wird ja sehr viel über den Erfolg der AfD gejammert, aber merkwürdigerweise nie ernsthaft hinterfragt wo der überhaupt herkommt. Da bleibt es dann oft bei dem “das sind halt alles Idioten”. Was normal ganz gut geht, aber bei 40%+ irgendwann als Argument zu kippen anfängt. Möglicherweise […]

Are you excited about June already?! WWDC? No, not WWDC, the new Lego 76354 Helicarrier is going to be released!

The year is 2026 AC, and all macOS is occupied. Only one small group of indomitable Mac developers still holds out against the invaders.

In case you can’t tell, I’m doing something with butter today #food

I think a reason why todays Apple frameworks (and languages) have "issues" is that they are being build as frameworks by framework teams, not as part of apps to support the apps, such are supposed to follow. This used to be different. AppKit was built to support creating great new apps very […]

I want to break free #food

This is a pretty good WWDC session, including the forward progress contract (~20:22, ~24:08): https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10254/

There is always money in the banana stand. Just saying.

Avocado bread salad I just made myself for dinner #food

My conspiracy theory is still that AI is a plot from Microsoft, the sole goal to kill FOSS. Became too dangerous for them.

Mangos rock

Those are the kind of markers you get from using AI in your code. They intentionally tag you and will surely come for you if the ship goes down.

So what I’m going to do at the workers day? I guess going to work?

This is new. For the first time in recorded history, more Americans are moving to 🇪🇺🇨🇭🇬🇧 EU+EFTA+UK countries each year than Europeans from those places are moving to the 🇺🇸 US. The ratio was 4:1 in favour of the US in the early 2000s. It crossed parity around 2022. Via @benbawan

Apple has given up on the Pro Display XDR. Apparently the large high res display starting at $5000 just didn’t turn out to be hit https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/03/apple-discontinues-pro-display-xdr/

Something I've been playing with for a while. This is #SOGo / #ScalableOGo ported to server side #Swiftlang. Compatible w/ the SOGo/Objective-C database schemata and using the exact same (somewhat ugly but working) Angular frontend Inverse built on top of […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Leute die die Linke oder die AfD wählen wollen, sollten sich einfach mal eine halbstündige Doku bei z.B. Arte über die DDR und/oder Nazideutschland anschauen. Spoiler: Beide Seiten finden es danach immer noch korrekt 🙈 ("Es war doch nicht alles schlecht!", "Wir sind jetzt ganz anders.") (Noch […]

With iOS 26.4.2 #carplay stopped connecting to the car (I can still pair). Anyone else?

Shitty day, but that might help a little.
