In #Swift, it's easy to get error messages wrong. It's due to a design flaw in the "Error" protocol itself, introduced for #ObjectiveC compatibility. I've seen people write below code all the time. I fixed this flaw in #ErrorKit: Just conform your errors to "Throwable" instead!

Wow, a love letter to a #programming language that makes a turtle crossing the road look like a speedster. 
Apparently, Objective-C was the Esperanto of code until the world realized it'd rather speak Klingon.

DarwinKit looks interesting. It’s a Golang Framework to build macOS apps and lets you call Objective-C APIs.

@kkolakowski it works really well for #ObjectiveC codebases.
Sometimes being an open-source maintainer is nice. I haven't done paid consulting for the GNUstep Objective-C Runtime for ages (I wasn't doing enough for it to be worth the tax effort and I'm not always able to commit to doing things in a sufficiently timely fashion to set up the expectations that being paid creates), so I added a note a while ago telling people to donate to Murray Edwards if they find the project useful.
Last week, I got the following email from the nice folks at Algoriddim saying (abridged):
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we appreciate your continued work on the GNUstep runtime, and that we’ve made another donation to Murray Edwards to support women in computer science.
Always nice to see things being paid forwards.
OK, I'm trying to build some mixed C++, ObjC and Swift code with CMake (CLion).
Since the Xcode generator doesn’t seem to work with Swift anymore, I switched over to Ninja, and now all ObjC files are built without ARC.
How do I tell CMake with Ninja to build ObjC(++) files with ARC, but not Swift files??
After working with Objective-C again after a very long time, I have to say, it's actually quite nice.
In hindsight, I have to agree. An improved Objective-C with some Swift elements might have been nicer compared to what Swift has become.
I also got the feeling that the problem wasn't Objective-C, but rather the terrible APIs Apple forced developers to use, such as Storyboards and Interface Builder.

So if you know someone who knows someone. Thanks for sharing.

Liebe Folglinge:
Ich suche (noch immer) nach einem neuen Job als #iOS & #macOS Entwickler in Anstellung (remote only, ich wohne in Österreich). Ich kann auf ca. 30 Jahre in der Software-Entwicklung zurückblicken, bin immer neugierig und hab eine Problemlöser-/Macher-Mentalität. #Swift, #SwiftUI, #ObjectiveC und das ganze Drumherum sind selbstverständlich.
Solltet ihr also jemanden kennen... ihr wisst schon.
Danke fürs rege Teilen, Boosten, Weitersagen etc. 
append or (very simple) symbolic differentiation/integration. As an undergraduate I wrote a Mathematica program to solve the word recognition problem for context-free formal languages. But I'd need some study time to be able to write these languages again.It must be almost 20 years since I wrote this.

If list begins with a comma and space—for example, @", Norman, Stanley, Fletcher"—the array has these contents: @[@"", @"Norman", @"Stanley", @"Fletcher"].
Norman Stanley Fletcher was the name of Ronnie Barker’s character in the British sitcom Porridge.

Hi! I'm a reconnecting #Mikmaw #Enby #IndieAuthor, #Podcaster, #Vlogger, #GraphicDesigner, & #Musician.
I'm #Autistic and #ADHD (late diagnosed both), - I survived the gifted kid to burned out adult pipeline.
I'm also partially sighted, & physically disabled due to spinal fractures from my youth.
When I'm not being creative, I enjoy poking #ObjectiveC, #WordPress, & #CSharp with sticks
I love learning & currently speak 5 languages to varying degrees of proficiency.
So hi & welcome!
Moving to a new server, so an #introduction is in order :)
My name is Clarke. Currently live in Cathedral City with my husband, two Berners and two cats. Software engineer with a focus on #iOS app and framework development (majority #ObjectiveC but getting some experience with #Swift finally).
When I’m not working or playing with the dogs, I can be found playing #WorldOfWarcraft, #Destiny2, or #Overwatch. I enjoy #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Horror and #Mystery novels, various podcasts, gym and #Peloton time.
Time to finally do an #introduction!
I’ve been fascinated by the #web since I first got on the internet when I was a teenager. The idea that anyone could create a website — how cool is that!?
I’ve been a #Mac user even longer (my parents were in education and my mom would bring home her office Mac Classic on the weekends). Being creative with #HyperCard and wanting to make dynamic websites eventually got me into #programming. First with #Perl, later #PHP, and now #JavaScript and #TypeScript. I’ve also had some fun with #C, #ObjectiveC, and #Swift.
For 14 years I worked at a small company that makes the premier CMS for the #AltWeekly press in the US. Now I work on web applications in #React in the far-more corporate world. I also used to co-organize TucsonJS and Tucson React meetups.
