I really appreciate how straightforward SwiftUI makes it to create little bits of animation.

For example, making the segment shape smoothly morph from side to side was just a matter of adding an AnimatablePair property and boom(🎉), SwiftUI does the rest.

“the macroeconomic environment has shifted in ways none of us could have foreseen, from an economy in which I did feel like paying you, to one in which I’d rather not”

A colleague from a different part of our corporate galaxy wrote me a short email today praising the way I ran a meeting effectively. It made my day, my week, maybe my month? I’m still a new manager, and I really needed that.
If someone around you really nails it with their work, do me a favor and tell them. Do it for multiple folks; do it repeatedly.
You probably have no idea how much it matters.

Libraries are such a nice community resource 🤩

@anildash This is work I need to lean into, thanks for blazing a trail Anil

@anildash The one issue I’ve found with my own 1990s/2000s blogging is that all the image links from photobucket etc, and some video embeds, are dead now. But yes the writing is still there!

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"

A social network is as strong as the edges in its graph. Boost posts, especially from newer faces, and boost often. Liking doesn’t lead to discovery on this platform! 🚀

@jwz in fairness, you all were a bunch of children, but that was the best part.

The petition to remove #LGBT content from the uk curriculum now has 190,671 signatures, sigh. It only needed 100k to force a debate in parliament, so that will be scheduled by #Uk Gov.

The counter petition is rapidly gaining ground, being newer. It now has 33,030 signatures, but we need more!

Pls sign if uk, boost otherwise! 👇

But then when the fascists come for women's reproductive rights, these people will beg the very same Black people that their system has miseducated to "stay in line!" And "vote like our lives depend on it!" because "democracy is on the ballot!"

This one-way solidarity is getting old.

"Policies that made cities more walkable and public transit better and more accessible could lower lithium demand between 18% and 66%, while simply limiting the size of EV batteries could cut demand by up to 42%."

“an e-bike subsidy is 2.9 times more effective per dollar at displacing gasoline miles than a zero-emission vehicle subsidy.”

@lorihc Seems like there is background task support for #watchOS 🤩

@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.
