Well here's an interesting idea from @ctietze : a swift blog carnival! Have any thoughts on "tiny languages"?
https://christiantietze.de/posts/2026/04/swift-blog-carnival-tiny-languages/
I like collaboration. It's hard and messy and produces imperfect results. But it's happening less than ever and I think that's bad.
Trying to understand ATProto’s merkle search trees and CIDs and, yes, I’m making some incremental progress on what was supposed to be a “little project” but damn
Clarification: xcodebuild can *build* without a specific device, but cannot run tests. This is an important distinction. If your tests care about hosting simulator, this matters. It’s just that mine never do.
(And I still think choosing a random simulator is a totally reasonable default)
xcodebuild's inability to just build against a specific SDK without also knowing which goddamn specific destination to use is such a waste of time I mean just choose one please its been like a decade please why just build it doesn't matter
Oh and in other news, all Subnautica games are currently on sale again and I just bought Below Zero.
On a recommendation, I’ve been trying Railway. Had a few false starts, but I’m figuring it out. And I *think* I now have a Hummingbird-based proof-of-concept that can do what I need…
You have a muffin. But it just doesn’t… take or something? So you have another. And then a few minutes later you’re all wait wait wait, did I have one or two? So you have a muffin while trying to figure it all out. And then, as a reward, you allow yourself to indulge in a second muffin.
