Swift on aws lambda moves into the official @awscloud.bsky.social org 😊 many years in the making! #swiftlang

I posted this to the other place originally but decided to repost it here so I could quote it to complain that a recipe calls for cups-worth of chicken.

Americans: We use these nesting cups to quickly measure out common quantities of liquid - Huh, yeah, that’s kinda convenient. A: And also things you can scoop, like flour or oats - Hmm, less sure about that one A: Or cram in like berries - Wait… A: Now add a half cup of butter

My talk from Server Side Swift is up! Talking about how languages make the trade-off between easy to write and fast at runtime, and how (shockingly!) I think #Swift strikes the right balance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz3h...

Californians: for the first time in ages, your vote matters nationally. Prop 50 counters the illegitimate Texas gerrymander, restoring the impact of your vote. Opposition is misguided. Taking the high road here helps those against democracy keep control. Vote yes on 50. stopelectionrigging.com

It's 2025. We have actual concentration camps, and a white nationalist setting US immigration policy, and the majority of white people surveyed say that they support how Trump is "handling immigration."🤦🏿‍♂️ And I *still* have white folk in my mentions saying "I don't think that many support it? 🤡

Priyambada's #swiftlang summer of code finished up! She worked on improvements to Swiftly (swift installer) in #vscode. It's now able to automatically switch and install swift versions all without leaving VSCode! https://forums.swift.org/t/gsoc-2025-bringing-swiftly-support-to-vs-code/81886

JB Pritzker seems like a promising candidate for 2028, and he has experience from his stint in the Bartlett administration, but I'm worried skeletons will come out about his investments in his nephew's restaurant.

🔲 Four Corners was rewritten in Swift—it's the first Swift game in Catalog. Read our interview with the developer to find out how that came about: news.play.date/news/four-co...

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Most of these names I can understand – they're purple state senators nervous about needing to seem bipartisan, even if I think that strategy is ineffective. But Schiff has no excuse. What was he thinking.

Once you realize most conservative arguments are in bad faith and their philosophy is actual the the 5 principles below, you will know peace • men > women • white people > other races • straight people > LGBTQ • Christians > other religions • rich people > poor people Everything else is flexible

My team at Apple is currently hiring for a role that focuses on compiler tools and infrastructure. If you’re interested in this opportunity, please take a look at the job posting here: jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail... #llvm #swiftlang

When people ask me about my job: You know how sometimes you get irrationally furious with inanimate objects. Like when a cable gets tangled and you’re in a hurry. But the cable doesn’t have free will, it was you that tangled it. But still, you’re furious with the cable. It’s like that.

I feel like this is better if you read the image alt text first.

Swift SDKs for WebAssembly are now available on swift.org for 6.2 and `main` development snapshots!

The first rule of grey area club is it isn't clear if you're allowed to talk about grey area club.

misunderstanding the "premature optimization is the root of all evil" quote to mean "wait until you're done before thinking about performance” is a huge problem for the programming profession

I am once again begging pasta manufacturers to dedicate half the surface of their packaging to the cooking time.

What is this talk of "China could threaten the US with dumping Treasuries"? Sure, it would cause problems, as would any method of balancing trade—bigger problems if it were done precipitously. But there is no third option: either the US runs a trade deficit or it stops running a capital surplus.

Find the bar the aws sales rep who pulled this off is at they’re buying.

Look, all I want is to bring manufacturing jobs back so that American robots can earn a middle class wage and support their American robot families. Is that so controversial?

So, America is 36% of consumption but we have been treated very unfairly so we must introduce tariffs to reduce consumption and other countries have to do what we say because we’re such a big consumer, or else we’ll consume less, which is the goal? Got it. www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/0...

Things are so bad they had to break out @markhamillofficial.bsky.social’s evil twin.

The US exports high margin goods and imports low margin goods. To fund this fantastic deal, we allow countries to lend us money at a low interest rate that we get to set in a currency we can make more of if we feel like it. Apparently this was unacceptable.
