In a very special episode of @atpfm, we interview two of Apple’s Swift experts, @holly and @airspeedswift!

This episode does go quite deep on some nerdy developer topics, but we loved every minute of it, and we hope you do too.

Accidental Tech Podcast: ATP Interview: Holly Borla & Ben Cohen

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

@timbray usually this leads to a large knowledge gap, which we are already seeing in our society. The wealthy pay and get informed journalism and the poor are stuck with click-baity headlines and inflammatory rhetoric.

The CalDigit TS4 — my daily-driver Thunderbolt dock — is discounted lower than I’ve ever ever seen it. I genuinely love this thing, and it’s $320 right now.

Just by plugging this thing in, I connect my MacBook Pro to:

• Power
• Studio Display
• LG UltraFine
• 2.5gb ethernet
• Microphone interface
• Development iPhone
• Typically one or two other USB devices I’m charging

Only downside: the power brick is hilariously large.

My dear friend @stegrainer has unexpectedly found himself with some availability. You'd know his work if you've ever seen:

• Primary app icons for Peek‑a‑View or MaskerAid
• Alternative app icons for Callsheet
• Entire redesign for @incomparable

I am biased, since like I said, Ste is a dear friend. But I also genuinely find him to be one of the best designers I've ever worked with. Ste can design the shit out of anything he touches.

Snatch him up while you can.

@0xamit that is just awful. It’s painful to think about what those people are going through right now.

I can’t believe there is so much hate in this world.

Just closed down Relay FM's annual St. Jude fundraiser, which raised an all-time high of $775,375.54!
@caseyliss looks like a great feature to add. Wouldn’t have even thought this was possible! Hope development goes well and we see it released one day

NPR's operating budget is $300 M, and 1%, or $3 M is funded by federal subsidies

The LA Times calculates the federal subsidies Musk's companies have received at $4.9 B.

Let's be generous and say Musk received those subsidies over a 10 year period, while NPR would have received ~$30 M in subsidies.

4.9 B / 30 M = Musk received 163x what NPR has from "the state."

Who is state funded then?
