@satnam6502 Caffe Strada if you want to mingle with undergrads (walk through campus to Greek Theater) and Delah coffee if you want to rub elbows with the grad students.

I need somewhere to hang out near the Greek Theatre in Berkeley where I can work on my laptop for a few hours later today in the afternoon (before going to the Kraftwerk concert this evening). Any recommendation for a coffee shop etc. that would be a good place to hang out?

@sssashamoroz What kind of issues did you run into? There are a number of projects on github that have written a simple swift compiler using ANTLR. Also highly recommend @munificentbob 's Crafting Interpreters

I think this project is doomed, as I did pretty much everything wrong — from grammar issues to directly inserting semantics into the .g4 file, which turned it into a total mess. I’ll try building a new one, maybe less ambitious, soon! Any tips, @Amritpan? 😵‍💫

Well, officially I've built my first compiler in #Swift using ANTLR for a context-free grammar, along with a small virtual machine to execute the generated quadruples.

@sssashamoroz It's typically held every summer, so I would keep an eye out for the 2025 announcement on the Swift forum!

@Amritpan Can I Time Machine back to July?🥴 By any chance are there any spots left or will be open in the upcoming future?

Want to contribute to an #opensource #Swift project and wished you had a mentor to help you get started? Apply to the Swift Mentorship Program by July 15! essentials.applesurveys.com/jfe/form/SV_1Z…

I attended this in 2023 and it was a fantastic crash course on many compilation/PL topics that I did not know much about. Also made life long friends!

Spaceship days & spaceship nights

@avielgr Good question! We thought of static properties as members of the metatype and so went with .Type.

@Amritpan Yessssss this is incredible!!! Tiny question and apologies if it’s covered in the proposal feel free to ignore me 😵‍💫 Why \Bee.Type.foo and not \Bee.Self.foo?

Ever wanted to write a key path to a static property? You'll be able to in the next version of #Swift thanks to SE-0438: Metatype Keypaths (officially accepted!) forums.swift.org/t/se-0438-meta…

@yminsky Unrelated but tangential to the Jane Street application - why does it ask "What year did you graduate from high school?"

We're still growing our Python team! I've heard some talk of layoffs at Google in this space, so, please retweet, and share with anyone you know who might be affected.

@barrelshifter "rely on what’s effectively oral history" is an astute way to describe what I have always thought of as "institutionalized knowledge". This is a great writeup!

I wrote my notes out from the table I participated in at the EuroLLVM 2024 Community.o workshop: discourse.llvm.org/t/community-o-… The major trend was "LLVM is like in like 3 dudes' heads and if you can talk to them it's great but otherwise it's hard to figure out what's going on"

Had a ball delving deeper into Swift's type inference algorithm to work on key path expressions ☺️

@officialhambly All these accounts referring /stettsf/ix are bots right? I don't think I've seen anyone bombarded by a bot recommendation like this before lol

Yes I can and will probably make a new Facebook page but that does not stop the fact that I made thousands of dollars a month in revenue on that current page which is now completely accessible to the people who hijacked it

@tekknolagi I don't know how useful I'll be reviewing existing DB research (other than curious), but I'm happy to review as a compiler person

Would anyone be interested in reviewing a draft of a post entitled "An intro to compilers for database people"? Mostly looking for comments on tone and pointers to existing DB research

@evijit I do! Background noise is a huge problem for me and the live listening feature is helpful.

Do people use Apple AirPods as hearing aids? Is it common? I just saw someone doing it and I thought it was kinda neat (I assume there’s a reason they don’t have official cochlear implants)

@Lanooba Love how the strap also looks like an anklet!

@shaundai The way I had to read this out loud to myself because I don't understand how acronyms work apparently

⚠️WAIT⚠️ Before sending that DM, make sure it’s not a BUTT: -Bdemand for free labor from someone normally paid to do the same work -Urequest for valuable time when I have no value to offer back -T’ignores social cues that the person doesn’t want to engage -T. “Hi” is the msg

@iiiitsandrea Read this as THIC and was like but they look normal sized

THC ICE CUBES 🧊😮‍💨 OH MY FUCKING GOD

@acweyand Are there any known reasons that increased oral/dietary iron intake for years would not work?

@Amritpan It would be the same way to increase it if those levels were abnormal (oral or IV iron or increased dietary iron plus addressing underlying cause)

PSA: If you are tested for iron deficiency & told your ferritin is “normal” check out the reference interval. Many reference intervals are sex specific & NOT AT ALL IDEAL. Ferritin in adults without inflammation should be AT LEAST 25, ideally higher.

@JoshuaOgundu This is when I think: tell me you don't read books without telling me you don't read books

The difference between how intelligent someone seems on Twitter and how they sound when they have to write long form or speak is something else
