Just came across the strangest Swift syntax that I did not know you could do:
extension SomeProtocol: where Self: SomeOtherProtocol {}
to add conformance to SomeOtherProtocol
It makes sense if you think about it, but I would expect:
extension SomeProtocol: SomeOtherProtocol {}
This is an engineer's reaction to the first verse of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
Last night, while watching the documentary "Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song" on Netflix, I kept being struck by the first verse: "Now I've heard there was a secret cord / That David played, and it pleased the Lord / But you don't really care for music, do ya? / It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth / The minor fall, the major lift / The baffled king composing Hallelujah". 1/
When extending generic types, it’s super useful that Swift enables type constraints to be attached directly to methods, since that enables us to use a method’s generic parameter types when defining those constraints.
For example, here I’m extending SwiftUI’s Binding type with a transforming method that lets me bind a Set property as a Bool that reflects whether that Set contains a given value 👍
Just published my first Swift article of 2023! 🎉
This one is about how the content offset (or scroll position) of a SwiftUI ScrollView can be observed without requiring any UIKit bridging. Very useful when implementing things like collapsable headers, or when performing other kinds of scroll position-dependent operations 👍

The way I look at it. Machine learning in general (including these large language models) are great when you have the following problem criteria
#1: You need to build a pattern matcher
#2: You don't know what to look for.
#3: When the pattern matcher is finally built you don't care to know what it actually looks for
#4: The results are allowed to be hilariously, insanely wrong some % of the time
And there are actually a lot of things that match that criteria
Yes please if anyone at Apple can read this great writeup about #SwiftUI, this is exactly the issue I'm hitting with @[email protected] I just can't have the timeline scrolling up because how janky it is!

timing.is shipped this month on the App Store. It was built entirely in SwiftUI. It was in development for 12 months. It would have been less if SwiftUI just gave. Unfortunately, repeatedly it would take.
