KeyboardKit is getting a new icon and brand design! We’re moving from a glowing keyboard key to an abstract design with two Ks on a gradient background that carries over our visual feel from the old icon into a new, glassy future.

For every dollar Denmark spends on Ukraine, France sends 7 cents, Italy 7 cents, the US zero. Denmark has given 3.25% of GDP—the highest in the world.

On election day, Ukraine barely comes up. Not because Danes don't care—70% agree on keeping the support going.

A reporter walked Aarhus asking voters. Out of 40–50 people, one disagreed. His wife interrupted him.

If all NATO countries had matched Denmark, Ukraine would have received $2 trillion—not $350 billion.

Version 13.0 is out: https://github.com/kean/Nuke/releases/tag/13.0.0. It was a monumental effort to update it to all the latest Swift features, namely Swift Testing and Data Race Safety. You skip a major release or two, and the amount of catch-up really adds up.

Four years of full-scale invasion. Twelve years of war. Centuries of struggle.

There will be Ukraine, one way or another. There will be Ukraine, and it will be glorious.

🚀 GRDB 7.10.0 is out! This release ships the hard work of @marcprux, @tjadejong and Micah Moore for supporting Android, Linux, Windows, and SQLCipher with SPM (for encrypted databases).

The situation of GRDB+SQLCipher with SPM is much better, but still not all sunshine and roses. You must fork GRDB, and modify Package.swift. Instructions are in the file itself, in comments that contain "GRDB+SQLCipher".

Maybe an "official" fork will ship eventually–this is still under discussion. In all cases, SQLCipher will need a GRDB fork for several years to come, which means that all derived repositories (GRDBQuery, GRDBSnapshotTesting, SQLiteData, etc) will need to be forked as well.

What are we currently lacking in order to avoid forks?

We need Xcode to support package traits. Only package traits can reliably link GRDB with SQLite, or SQLCipher, but not both.

We also need SPM to stop downloading unused dependencies, because I do not want that your projects download SQLCipher, or declare a dependency on SQLCipher, when you do not use it. And when GRDB adds more traits for more SQLite and SQLCipher variants, I do not want that those are downloaded, too.

Pavel Durov's home country has banned Snapchat, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Signal, Viber, Google Meet and several other messaging services and restricted the use of Telegram — yet this despicable Russian collaborator continues to lie as though he were employed by the FSB.
Very saddened to hear we lost @uliwitness last year. We crossed paths and hung out together at NSConference and WWDC several times. He was frequently in pilky's streams too, helping with Coppice and providing moral support, and one of the first people I would have liked to try out my updated version. Between the two of them, the developer community has lost decades of irreplaceable Mac-specific knowledge and experience
