Thanks to everyone who shared their wisdom: @ctietze, @mattiem, Chris Liscio, Nicolas Zinovieff, @gabtheodor, @Mecid, @FloWritesCode, Wesley Matlock, @tanaschita, Howard Oakley and Eric Martz
This week's focus is on the new challenges posed by Vibe Coding to copyright mechanisms, the Swift Blog Carnival, alternative components for building Lists, converting AppIntents to MCP, and common mistakes in creating interactive components
How stupid is my brain?
I loved how Arq, the browser, auto-closed old tabs.
Then I moved to Zen (Firefox based) and it doesn't do a good job at that, but now I have dozens, maybe hundreds of tabs and am too anxious to just bulk close them.
The one thing I loved Arq for :)
I feel like an old fart still writing about actual programming topics (as opposed to vibe coding), but here we go…
For now, my last post about concurrency and cancellation: https://macguru.dev/whats-that-structured-in-structured-concurrency/
One thing I only learned after working with Structured Concurrency for years is what “structured” actually refers to. And since that came as a surprise to me, I thought others might find it interesting as well. My natural thinking was that everything inside Swift’s modern concurrency system would be
I heard Swift works for ESP32 programming.
I've heard the Xteink X4 is an ESP32 device.
Hmmmmmm
First blog post in… 10 years?
It went on a bit… and I think there are at least two or three follow up posts on this.
This post is a walkthrough of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and my Swift/Metal implementation, MetalSprocketsGaussianSplats. In this post, I cover what splats are, how they’re generated, the various on-disk file formats, and the “standard” 3DGS rendering pipeline. I assume you’re somewhat comfortable with 3D graphics but haven’t worked with Gaussian splats before. What Are 3D Gaussian Splats? I like to oversimplistically describe a 3D Gaussian Splat (3DGS) as a “fancy point cloud.” They’re a computer graphics technique for representing and rendering 3D scenes, and unlike meshes or voxels, they can produce photorealistic results from real-world captures without ever defining a single triangle.
