Good architecture is that feeling of joy working in a code base. Hard enough for us to understand let alone the models.

Just watched a video on EV performance on a Saskatoon night (where I went to university) at -35C. Used a lot of battery but the car performed great. And you know, I miss that adventure of waking up to -35C and heading to school and the sound of the snow crunching under your feet.

My fave tip for dev #swiftlang -> Linux, check how your Swift package compiles while on your mac w/ container: container run -it -c 4 -m 8g \ -v "$(pwd):/src" -w src/ \ swift:6.2 sh -c "swift build" (runs a Swift 6.2 image, gives it 4CPU and 8GB, mounts your PWD as "src", and builds)

I spent many years in the Eclipse community and was so privileged to be immersed in their passion for building great things and lasting friendships. The last few weeks attending Swift community meetups, I'm seeing that passion again. I feel so at home!

Swift - Java interop I think it’s pretty critical to embed Swift as a server side language. If you can begin a transition incrementally, it’s always easier to move over. Super cool to see this work, and congrats to Mads!

"I was under duress," Prince Harry explained in an interview with Canadian broadcaster CTV News after apologizing. "There wasn't much choice. I was invited to the Dodgers dugout by the owner. I was doing what I thought was the polite thing to do." cnn.it/3WJfonf

Oh, yeah. Nice. We've been getting the Fan games up here on our TSN radio station. So glad they did. Ben Shulman sounds so much like his dad. Great broadcast too.

Everything fine on Roger’s Cable. Heard others having trouble too. Streaming is hard I guess.

Finding I'm spending most of my time on Twitter. Tech influencers I enjoy listening to are there. And as long as I stay on the "Following" tab, I seem to avoid much of the nonsense.

When busy at work late into the evening making SwiftPM the best it can be, great to throw up Star Wars A New Hope to remind me what brought me to this game. Can't wait to focus more on Swift Embedded in SwiftPM to get it onto robots like this 😀 🤖 .

Love it that it’s a regular occurrence I turn on golf and there’s a Canadian on the leaderboard. What a great crop of players now.

loving the swift community rally around #swiftlang as the main hashtag for the language itself. it is so hard sifting through taylor swift and the financial network to engage with yall 😂 i think #swiftlang and platform would be cool to see too like #swiftlang #linux spread the word :)

That's my sense too. This is mainly Twitter exiles. Which is fine. Twitter is still the go to place for your doomscrolling though...

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

VHDL is just more readable than Verilog. But then Ada is a lot more readable than C too. So there's that. #ulx3s #misterfpga

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Embedded Swift being discussed right now by Eric Bariaux. We've also been using Embedded Swift recently, and it's nice to see others in this space working with this too.
