Swift Testing was updated to support Embedded Swift on `main` so of course you know what that means

is anyone else kinda glad that claude speaks in such a distinct, dense, inhuman prose style? it’s probably better if robots sound like robots, and it means humans have less incentive to pass it around to other humans

Back in the hot shop after like 6 months off, and I’m definitely a bit rusty, but made this nice flared cup

i miss artisanal, human slop

Added Box3D and visionOS support to my renderer (rendering all this directly to Metal)

To add: - This can make the XY problem worse, because people will dig deep on Y without asking the team that can recognize when they should be doing Z instead

Last year, my team shipped a Swift rewrite of Apple's TrueType hinting interpreter. The new code is strictly memory safe, relentlessly tested, and faster than the C code it replaced. This year, it is my pleasure to ship it for a second time—now as an open source package—and to share our experience!

A @pangram.com auto GitHub bot would be SO useful.

One of the best things I did when working on a Mac app was use a 1x display. You'd be shocked how many apps have simple pixel rounding errors.

South Carolina learned 35 years ago that easy access to gambling is a deeply corrupting influence on society, and learned 25 years ago that ending it basically immediately improves lives without any downside. www.goupstate.com/story/news/2...

Did a 5 day glassblowing intensive course since I have a month between jobs. I cannot adequately express just how helpful it’s been to get incredible instruction + at least 20 more hours of studio time. Pictured is Day 1, then day 2, then day 4. Straighter, taller, thinner, and more consistent.

Now that it’s December 31st I can confirm, only 3 recipes from the NYT cooking calendar can be sung to the tune of the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme song: March 8 & 9: Caramelized Banana Pudding May 9: Caramelized Zucchini Pasta September 9: Creamy Vegan Tofu Noodles

y’all glass is a really fun medium

liquid glass is so last release. it's all about solid glass now

the swift forum today has me saying "swift 7" like a Gen Alpha kid

pallet/palette/palate has gotta be the most insidious homophone group

if your p(doom) is predicated on The Singularity happening, we don’t need to take you seriously. the doom comes from what humans do to each other

I’m quite excited today. Why? Because I got to delete 3500 lines of custom navigation (like 5 different navigation bars) and replace them all with system navigation. Good riddance!

My friend and I used to make a YouTube video series that gained a cult following back in ~2008-2012 and has a TV Tropes page. I used the money from YouTube partner revenue to buy my first Mac, which started my career.

I guess I find vibe coding difficult because the fun part about making stuff is the making, not the stuff.

why does Linear have like 8 different ways to look at a subset of bugs, where each of them have different views and requirements and structure

I love that my Deep Dish talk got sherlocked by my former team in visionOS 26 developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

There are many design/engineering concessions I am willing to make. Corner radius concentricity is not one of them.

I wonder how many times I have written this line

Rochester is pronounced “rooster”

Does anyone know how to update a UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource synchronously? I need to do this, all on the same frame: - Update the data source without animation - Compute the difference in content size - Scroll up to compensate for the difference (without animation) - Scroll down animated

It's always a fun time when a problem starts to look vaguely "build system" shaped...
