It’s amazing that, in all the amazing big brain 4D chess ideas the man’s supporters claim he has, never once did the thought ‘maybe don’t be a shit to everyone’ occur.

@tclementdev @helje5 Or `case _:`.

Every feature needs an engineer to build it. If engineers won't build immoral features, they won't happen. It works. It worked right here.

The layoff email from Twitter is the first email in history that should have been a meeting.

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan

Hey Siri… what's the definition of "ironic as fuck"?

@ratkins I for one find it refreshing to see the lang team reconsider previous decisions and hard stances. Macros and if/switch as expressions are features I had already given up hope for. Add (something equivalent to) generic protocols, const and actual modules/imports next, please! 🙏🏻

@ratkins It works great in Rust. As such I don't how this should be different for Swift. Having to introduce unnecessary local variables with `variable = …` or redundant `return …` gets boring real quick in FP-heavy projects in my experience.

Omg, yes! 🤩

Tesla only exists at this point because of carbon credit sales, because the cars themselves aren't good value. He's basically admitted that Starlink isn't viable at a reasonably priced commercial level. Boring Company is an exercise in scamming gullible governments. And so on.

Something the Twitter purchasing is heavily reinforcing is the fact that in real life, Elon Musk isn't actually a very good businessman. His entire entrepreneurial career has been predicated on people giving him large amounts of money with little thought or oversight.

@computerfoo Noch lachst du. … Bis Rust's Lifetimes so richtig rein kicken. 😏

@ratkins You’ll love these ones then: 🫣😅 The macros: #L52-L146" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/regexident/car… The usages: github.com/regexident/car…

@regexident Jesus. I think I need more coffee.

Finally. 🤩 Writing extensive unit test suites in Swift without macros is such a pain today.

@ratkins I gave an example in my response to the thread: forums.swift.org/t/a-possible-v…

@regexident How do macros help you write unit tests?

yes of course you can write secure C code, sweetie. you can do anything you set your mind to, mommy believes in you

@axboe @josh_triplett These are the specific slides with benchmarks (although the entire deck is worth going through!)

At the #LinuxPlumbers Rust MC: "I'm Matthew Wilcox, I'm one of the authors of the NVMe spec, I'm the one who suggested you make an NVMe driver to demonstrate the value of Rust. You have succeeded beyond my wildest expectations. These performance numbers are phenomenal."

@bebroll @kaleidoscopeapp +1! Support for difftastic in Kaleidoscope would be amazing!
