Easily monitor the device’s thermal state to optimize performance during overheating.

Making this argument and then hanging the entire load on TRY is fucking hilarious:

💡Starting with iOS 18.0, you can create mesh gradients in SwiftUI using MeshGradient.

Adjust the intensity of colors in SwiftUI views Lighten or darken colors in SwiftUI views using the brightness(_:) modifier.

There is a convenient brightness(_:) modifier in #SwiftUI that can be used to adjust the intensity of colors in our views. We can lighten the colors by passing it values from 0 to 1 or darken them using negative values:

How embarrassing! Maybe it’s just an issue on my machine then 💀

CMD+Space doesn't bring up Spotlight anymore and this has ruined my opinion on macOS and life.

How so?

Completion > perfection

With #swiftlang It's easy to forget that the diff between a point-free and pointed styles of function argument passing is not just syntactic but semantic. It's normal to consider these to be equivalent:
1. [1, 2].map(String.init)
2. [1, 2].map { String($0) }
But we shouldn't forget that: 1/4

Do you know about the take function for the Optional type? It takes the value if it is not nil and toggles the variable to nil.

I've always just used GPT-4o, but will give o1 a try after this. Keen to see the difference.

A problematic little #swiftlang pattern I often see is "unwrap-then-nullify" for optional values that hold some temp state. This oft comes up when dealing with local caches or scrollOffsets or in-flight tasks, etc. Forgetting to nullify a value to "reset" state is a common mistake. Use take method.

Hypothetically, imagine not knowing Swift Testing doesn't have a built-in timeout function, and then writing a bad unit test and pushing it, going to sleep, and then waking up and finding out you've used all your Github Action minutes for the month. On this second day of the month.
Hypothetically.

Currently working on a Swift project that uses Combine, and because it the year of our lord 2024 I'm using Swift Testing to write my unit tests.

But I was struggling with covering my Combine code with Swift Testing.

Here's how I managed to solve the problem!

Congrats man! Looks awesome!

Hello, old friend fuckingblocksyntax.com

VSCode UI is so ugly it takes the joy out of programming

Personally I prefer `private`, but I’m happy to be persuaded to the other side! Why do you prefer `fileprivate`?

UIKit is a craftsperson’s tool.

React Native is a business decision.

Why’s that? :) (I’ve never had to use one before)

100%! Makes it so painful when you need to go over a certain part of the content again and you end up having to search through the video for where they discussed that part.
