Pinned tweet: if you’re wondering why you were blocked, it’s your NFT avatar (or other NFT garbage) and its environmental costs. Stop vice signaling.
If you don’t have an NFT avatar, it was probably transphobia.

I kinda thought I was just on hiatus from Twitter but maybe it’s gonna be permanent one way or another. My writing is still at belkadan.com/blog (with newsfeed), and my email is jrose at that domain, if anyone really needs to reach me. And I’m, you know, around.

@optshiftk @jckarter @nicklockwood All of this is indeed relevant but I don’t have enough Windows experience to speak to it myself!

TIL "the [macOS] system call interface is not stable across OS versions and so you are “required” to use the C/POSIX standard library and its extensions to do even basic primitive operations."

@krzyzanowskim @nicklockwood Not why *I* left specifically, won’t speak for anyone else. There’s definitely pressure at Apple not to speak candidly about Apple, and not to piss people off, so I wouldn’t have written this then. As for actually “fixing” this…it depends how much you consider this a “problem”.

Cannot express how joyful I am to see such amazing people create and tell unique stories together. Sooooo fucking proud of @quiddie. So proud of the entire cast. Well done, friends.

@slava_pestov @NachoSoto To be clear, if the availability was *just* about the extended type I think it would be fine. But it affects the checking for *all* APIs within the extension, even seemingly unrelated ones.
English
@slava_pestov @NachoSoto I don’t think there’s a technical reason, since availability checking happens well after extension binding, but I vaguely recall concerns about it being too subtle for *humans*, especially across files or modules. You could move a function out of the extension and get new errors.

Am I missing something? This should be a nice QoL improvement: github.com/apple/swift/is…

@steveriggins I don’t work on Swift these days, sorry! But check for include cycles—a bridging header must not indirectly include the generated header for the same module…
…and wait, bridging headers are *never* modular. Libraries should not have bridging headers, only app or test targets.

@SamProgramiz Swift generics aren’t like C++ templates anyway. There’s not necessarily a separate copy in every object file, or for every concrete type. It’s up to the optimizer to decide if it’s worth it, or if it should just call the single generic implementation in the original module.
English
Am also curious whether defining an extension for a standard library type means that the code will be copied over multiple times in every context the library type is used and how that affects memory usage and any existing internal STL optimizations.

Second, Swift `as?` can dynamically check whether a type conforms to a protocol. Which means there has to be some kind of global registry of conformances, which can’t have duplicate entries. (There have been proposals to say “this conformance is only available statically”, but…)
English
Maybe don't add protocol conformance to a type via extensions. Protocol conformance should be restricted to type declaration and not be available via an extension.
Jordan Rose@UINT_MIN
Swift regret: retroactive conformances These are when you have a type Foo from module A, and a protocol Bar from module B, and you need Foo to conform to Bar. And so you say `extension Foo: Bar`.

@typesanitizer @chordbug I wouldn’t even say that’s not how it works.

now let the point float left or right by the exponent

@chordbug A little dot zooming back and forth on a bit array (yes I know that's not how it works).

in "floating-point number", I picture "floating" to mean…

@veer_in_bangkok Yeah, I usually tend that way too! I use Discord in the browser on desktop. But Signal message history isn’t stored server-side, and browser extensions complicate security guarantees—there’s no way to keep them from reading your private keys. So it’d never be up to our standards.
English
Subtweet re: Electron/1Password: someone pointed out that Discord, League of Legends, Docker for Desktop, Epic Games client, and many bits of Steam are "basically Electron", and we don't hate them.
But all of those have /awful/ UX on a Mac (except LoL, I don't know LoL).
