In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

When FileVault is enabled, the data volume is locked and unavailable during and after booting, until an account has been authenticated using a password. The macOS version of OpenSSH stores all of its configuration files, both system-wide and per-account, in the data volume. Therefore, the usually configured authentication methods and shell access are not available during this time. However, when Remote Login is enabled, it is possible to perform password authentication using SSH even in this situation. This can be used to unlock the data volume remotely over the network. However, it does not immediately permit an SSH session. Instead, once the data volume has been unlocked using this method, macOS will disconnect SSH briefly while it completes mounting the data volume and starting the remaining services dependent on it. Thereafter, SSH (and other enabled services) are fully available.

I've been trolling through the macOS Tahoe man pages and I stumbled upon this.

Not only that, it does not throw any error if you give some random type. CREATE TABLE t(value TIMMYSTAMP); There is no TIMMYSTAMP type, but SQLite accepts this happily. SQLite has five types: NULL, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB. Want to know something cursed? The type affinity works by substring match! CREATE TABLE t(value SPONGEBLOB) --- This is BLOB type! So yeah, this happens too: Note that a declared type of “FLOATING POINT” would give INTEGER affinity, not REAL affinity, due to the “INT” at the end of “POINT”.

sorry not sorry but you gotta know this cursed SQLite fact too

SwiftNIO users, please make sure you update to swift-nio >= 2.80.0. There's a compiler bug in the Xcode 16.3's compiler that can make your program hang in a CPU spin loop. NIO 2.80.0 contains a workaround.

Chefs, remember: customers couldn't care less about your utensils, your kitchen discipline or how clever your recipe is.

They just want fast service, gorgeous food and a smooth experience. That's what matters.

Tips and Considerations for Using Lazy Containers in SwiftUI | Fatbobman's Blog Explore practical tips for using SwiftUI's lazy containers like List & LazyVStack. Enhance app performance, optimize resource use, and avoid common pitfalls.

This is probably the best thing you can read today, this week, this month, this year, and last year about SwiftUI lazy containers! There are so many little things that can make or break your List! It's a shame Apple doesn't document that better.
