@overcastfm Hi there! I'm still having my playlists get out of order a dozen or so times per day. Is that something that's on your radar?

My maybe-wrong observation is that episodes that should be sorted last (because they're new and the playlist is oldest-to-newest) get “lumped in" with new episodes that are correctly sorted first (because they're new and prioritized) if they get added at roughly the same time. (Re-setting the sort rule fixes it temporarily)

I subscribe to NPR's and BBC's hourly news feeds, which (if I'm right) exacerbates this problem quite badly

The difference between C and C++ is that C has really basic memory unsafety, whereas C++ has very advanced memory unsafety

Friends on the Gulf Coast—I want to do a Swift Platforms meetup. I don’t know if anyone is out there who wants it, but can’t hurt to try. Whether you’re a day one beginner or seasoned pro, it could be a great time. The area I can realistically target is Gulfport MS - Pensacola FL.

Please share for visibility!

Is there not a way to annotate an Objective-C method that returns a Foundation type like NSString to avoid automatic bridging to Swift.String?

(Actually, I probably even want to keep fiddling with an NSMutableString *as* a mutable string)

Hurray, I shipped!

A few days ago @EvanHahn did the work to find the world’s smallest PNG (https://bigshoulders.city/@EvanHahn/111699795574624055). But how big can we make that PNG?

"The world's smallest PNG" shows off the smallest possible PNG and describes how it works in detail. Not my best explainer, but probably the one I've worked on for the longest (multiple years). Feedback welcome! https://evanhahn.com/worlds-smallest-png/ #PNG #FileFormats #programming #coding #TinyCode
