@oliverhaslam Why stop at two 🤪

I typically wear multiple Watches all summer to test betas…funny thing is no body every notices…

Once upon a time this would have seemed like a strange question to me, but ....

Who here wears more than one watch at the same time?

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— The vast majority of Americans want gun control

Inaction is a policy choice.

The Swift code to do the formatting is really clean, see https://github.com/apple/swift-syntax/blob/main/Sources/SwiftDiagnostics/DiagnosticsFormatter.swift . I’d love for an option to colorize the output, if anyone’s looking for a quick little Swift task that’ll make its way into the compiler.

Another significant set of updates to the Apple Design Resources went live today. Lots of improvements and additions to the main platform kits for Sketch and XD: Fixed layout issues, corrected colors, fixed resizing bugs, etc. A lot of the work was addressing feedback we've received through Feedback Assistant (thanks!)

We also updated the Technology kits to iOS 16 and iPhone 14 Pro dimensions and added a new kit for App Clips.

I've said it before, but wow is SwiftUI good. I just finished migrating a massive, super complicated UIKit view hierarchy. I had estimated that the rebuild would take around 2 weeks to finish...it took 1.5 days.

🤯

And the best part is that the result has way better support for Dynamic Type and VoiceOver...and is like 20% of the lines of code.

Minn. House Passes PRO Act, Protecting Minnesotans’ Reproductive Rights

Yay Minnesota!! Now on to the Senate!!!

There’s nothing I enjoy more than muting “good white folx”, on here, who insist on pushing for Kumbayah moments in my TL with all manner of “can’t we just all get along” comments

No!

No! the fuck we can’t!

One thing that “good white folx” don’t practice enough is just shutting the fuck up and scrolling passed content shared from marginalized and vulnerable about their LIVED EXPERIENCES WITHOUT centering yourselves

Chad/Karen…heads up…believe it or not…no one gives a fuck what you think 🤷🏾‍♀️

@ayanonagon it’s already intimidating to have to establish your technical competence in a meeting, and trying to do that as a minority leaves you with so much to overcome. In my experience, there are people who make that easier for you, and people who make that harder.

For people in the replies asking for advice: As a hiring manger, you’re not going be able to change people in the second category: so only hire people in the first. Screen people for helpfulness and kindness, elevated to more importance than technical ability. Which is also easier if you forego the notion that it takes special abilities to be good at programming - anyone can learn to code, but unlearning bias is orders of magnitude more difficult.

I've been in the trans community for 20 years and I've known *one* person who detransitioned. We all supported that person, of course. Saying "we should acknowledge and support detransitioners" is something nobody would disagree with.

But the existence of a tiny minority of people who detransition is *not* an argument for making it harder for everyone else to transition, which is what this media frenzy often seems to be driving at.

With all the news about layoffs in tech, I'll throw it out there that my team has multiple openings we are desperately trying to fill: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200307779/aiml-software-engineer-siri-runtime-platform?team=MLAI

We're the execution engine of Siri: we coordinate just about everything that comes out of the microphone + NL up to domain-specific logic, across multiple devices and between devices + servers.

Job is located in Seattle/SCV/Boston/Raleigh. Sadly not remote-friendly 😭

It must be nice to not even notice when there is only one woman (or otherwise under-represented minority) in a large meeting besides maybe a product/project manager. For me, it’s a source of baseline imposter syndrome.

This is a sub-toot(?!) of many meetings in the past, present, and future — but if you’re in the majority and it feels like it’s referring to a meeting you’ve been a part of, what are you doing to help?

@shantini Yeah we said we should should get shirts made saying that

@dmoser Local fav: "SHARE THE ROAD" construction signs that block the painted bicycle gutter and force me into the auto lane.

@dmoser Par for the course. My small town built lots of bike lanes so that homeowners no longer have to leave their trash cans in their driveways or on the curb. SO convenient.
