What's the difference between a package index and a package registry? One helps you discover packages, the other hosts and serves them. 📦 A new post explains how they fit together. Read more: swiftpackageindex.com/blog/what-is...
What is a package registry? on the Swift Package Index Blog – Swift Package Index
SwiftPM tooling has three main components – SwiftPM resolves dependencies for the compiler, a package index helps you discover packages, and a package registry hosts and serves verified, immutable so…

If you have any thoughts on default isolation control, especially if you are using default MainActor, I'd love to hear about it
Contemplating Default Isolation Control
I've just recently re-watched a wonderful talk about progressive disclosure in Swift. The whole thing is worth your time, but there's one part in particular (about 30m-35m) that I have been thinking about a lot. That 5 minute section discusses the differences between progressive disclosure and false simplifications. The crux of the concept is an effort to simplify a system can also suppress essential learning. This can result in an illusion of simplicity. That doesn’t mean progress isn’t happen...

Claude’s Criminally Bad Electron Mac App Is an Inside Job

This is the feedback loop of insanity. The model generates a description. The description becomes context. The context shapes the next generation. The generation updates the description. Around and around, each pass more self-referential than the last. michaelnisi.com/posts/2026/0...

"We're shipping so much more code with AI!" "Good, stable code?" "Oh heavens no. No no no. not at all. We couldn't possibly"
Sue Smith@suesmith.lol · 2mo ago"The AI engineering impact data shows that output is up. It also shows that the work required to ensure that output is safe, correct, and maintainable has not decreased. It has increased substantially." Aye, if only any of us had been saying this from day one 🤡 www.faros.ai/blog/ai-acce...
“Brains are just like LLMs!!!” Yes, as evidenced by babies who only start talking after they’ve memorized the whole of Wikipedia.

Here is the list of my #wwdc26 expectations: 1. Image input for Foundation Models. 2. Lazyness support for Layout protocol in SwiftUI. 3. RecyclerView or some sort of implicit view recycling in SwiftUI. swiftwithmajid.com/2026/06/02/w...

kate bush’s husband@airbagged.bsky.social · 3mo agoBeen laughing at this for 45 minutes straight
this is funny but I would bet that this is the response users want in a substantial (and increasing) proportion of cases of inputs like this. I think people are just treating the search box like a chatbot now

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Bluesky has been a net negative for US politics. They corralled everyone on the left into a little glass fishbowl where they shout at one another & everyone else ignores them. Meanwhile, all the pols & institutions stayed on X & are being dragged farther right.
If we could remember everything we would not do anything, because we would be too mortified to continue.
I prefer to save talking till I know what I’m talking about.
