PSA: After downloading #Xcode26, if you’re trying to download iOS Simulators and it’s stuck on “fetching download information,“ try navigating to Settings and download the simulators there instead! #WWDC25

PSA: if you write v.pow(2f) (also .pow(3f)) on Android, please write v * v instead. pow() is a (relatively) expensive function call that won't get optimized away (yet). On a Pixel 6, pow(2f) is 5x slower than a multiplication. For long expressions, use inline fun square(v: Float) = v * v

Omg this fuckin guy was one of the biggest jagoffs in my eating club in college So eating clubs are kinda like a bougie combination of a dining hall +a frat, & we had a club song, part of which went: Huzzah Huzzah for [club], now raise a glass with me, Now drain them fast as one, my boys, 1-2-3!'

1. NEWS President-elect Trump says Will Scharf will serve as White House Staff Secretary. Scharf ran for Attorney General in Missouri and was one of Trump’s attorneys. The position of White House Staff Secretary is important and holds a great deal of power.

Some people label things they don't understand as being too complex. When you ask them what they are doing instead, their answers are often as complex, with one major difference. They understand it.
