Probably late to the party with mise (github.com/jdx/mise) but this has been a lifesaver when I jump on my Windows machine for testing cross-platform applications when I primarily develop on macOS and Linux. It even has Swift support, which surprised me.

Happy they updated it but that is kind of a sad representation, hopefully they polish it up later.

I will say in my experience despite the terrible reviews I have had good experiences stopping at Electrify America and they tend to be in Walmarts or other places with “stuff”. I’d still get an adapter for piece of mind, maybe look into A2Z (a2zevshop.com) if your maker doesn’t officialoness

I own two Ford EVs and had a Tesla in the past and the Ford Oval Network (www.ford.com/support/how-...) makes it less sucky, but it would be nice if there was just some kind of universal account with your billing info, or at least each dealer did something similar.

If you have a small child and belong to Costco definitely do the Executive hours if you can, so much easier with a little one

It seems like there have been less of these PRs but the state of Microsoft's software engineering culture still seems very suspect now even 2 months later with their current strategies.

Was looking for a library like spectreconsole.net or ratatui.rs in #Swift #Swiftlang but can't really find anything that would be cross-platform and is actively maintained, any suggestions? Otherwise tempted to just write my own since I want cross-platform support and good testability.

This is definitely a sore point for me when I think about doing stuff in Swift, the ecosystem just heavily favors Apple platforms still but I am optimistic this will get better over time!

I still actively update this #Godot version manager and have been adding/fixing stuff.

The Waite Group's Inside the Amiga with C : Berry, John Thomas, 1947- : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive x, 383 p. : 25 cm

I just missed the Amiga (born in the late 80's) but was able to use one in the early 90's and it's amazing how advanced for the price it was. I bought a hardcopy of archive.org/details/wait... about a decade ago and it still blows me away with how much it could do with C and not just ASM.

As a collector myself I would say most of mine is from eBay but some of those spiral-bound books I don't think I've ever seen in such clean condition. Maybe folks in the UK take better care of their books 😆

Some of those are in great condition! Where did you source these, local stores?

Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin (@jasonlk) .@Replit goes rogue during a code freeze and shutdown and deletes our entire database

This thread is incredible.

Sometimes I think about how disappointing it is that both Microsoft and the .NET community didn't adopt F# more considering what it brought to the table over a decade ago and even now, especially when it would probably be a great fit for working with the current software development climate...

TBH this has become the case for any technical discussions anywhere, unfortunate.

Frame of preference A story of early Mac settings told by 10 emulators.

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways?

Yeah after using Hugo and others in the past it’s the one I’ve stuck with the longest and it hasn’t given me any issues. There are far less themes available but otherwise it works well.

I assume a lot of it comes down to folks not actively maintaining their own blogs or the ease of sharing to a large network of people, just like how LinkedIn is full of similar kinds of "articles."

I've done a few more changes and additions to Winnie, my #Swift ConfigParser/INI library github.com/patricktcoak...! At this stage I'm just going to call it 1.0.0 since I added more documentation and locked in the API design, with forward changes being planned as additive and non-breaking.

Yes-yes

init(exactly:) | Apple Developer Documentation Creates an integer from the given floating-point value, if it can be represented exactly.

In #Swift TIL about developer.apple.com/documentatio... vs developer.apple.com/documentatio...

I’ve been using www.getzola.org for years with great success.

Nice thing is you get C and C++ interop if you already have significant code sharing. Swift has a lot of things I like about Rust with a much more aesthetically pleasing syntax so I've grown to pick it more for my side projects, but it's definitely not perfect. Still, I've grown to love it.

I think Swift is a great language that just had a PR problem that lingers today due to its exclusivity to Apple platforms and lack of larger open-source projects, but now it's become a really great general-purpose programming language.
