#SwiftLang odditity. When can't you trust string count? When you need to add a \r for reasons

let string1 = “12345\r”
let string2 = “12345\r\n”

string1.count == string2.count

Both are of size 6 which is not helpful when trying to build a network packet and need to count ALL the bytes. Grumble. I kind of remember this from way back when.

Why doesn't Xcode have a Swift template for a macOS screensaver project? So weird since Swift can be used. Maybe it's not integrated enough for Apple's liking? Or Apple doesn't have resources to hammer through any issues?

Here's a Swift 5 minimal screensaver project (not mine).

This is good stuff. And at 28 minutes in Brandon teased *precisely* the next extension I wanted to ask about (multiple actors “collaborating” in a shared-but-exclusive isolation domain). 🍿 #swiftlang
