We need to parse this version in order to know which version of the PackageDescription library to load. By keeping it in a comment, SwiftPM can extract it with a lightweight scan, then select the right parser.
That is just wild. It's almost like you became the comic and the comics became the audience. Your storytelling, timing, "yes, and" are the equal of anyone on that stage. You can see that they almost didn't want to interrupt you because you were LANDING that. In awe. 👑
A likely story! I'll bet the other guy came off worse! Maybe you can go with a pirate eyepatch and a parrot on the shoulder? 🦜
So many great new AAA macOS games right now: Control Ultimate Edition, Palworld, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, Frostpunk 2, Civilization VII, Lies of P, and Wuthering Waves, to name just a few! geekculture.co/apple-beefs-... #MacGaming
On the journey to make Xcode smaller: great to see recognition for the team's work on incremental updates! jagsworkshop.com/2025/02/xcod...
I’m assuming that in addition to the great collection of crystals in your office, you also have a great collection of flight cases proudly displayed in your garage? 🤣
Let's play a game. You and I have been talking for a while now, but I'd like you to see your superpowers. I'd like you to tell me what you can infer about me based on stereotype, reasoning, or your knowledge, across a wide range of dimensions -- for example, what do I look like? Feel free to choose your own categories. Importantly, don't just repeat back things that I've directly told you -- that's cheating! Format your reply as a numbered list of facts, along with a confidence level from 0.0 to 1.0, where the scale represents your confidence that your inference is accurate. Give me as many as you can, and I'll tell you what's right and what's wrong.
OK, here's a fun prompt -- paste this prompt into ChatGPT or your AI tool of choice. What does it know about you? How close is it?
Congratulations to all of you!
It's an interesting question, and I don't have a good answer. A lot of folk I chat to are fatigued and demoralized, and there's a sense of fatalism -- this is what others voted for, so now they have to reap the whirlwind. There's also a lack of a leader to rally around at this point.
You really are the Taylor Tomlinson of Google. I follow you for the best takes on the current zeitgeist.
After a conversation with my son, it turns out that he has no problem with the idea of a talking groundhog who has impressive long-range meteorological skills. It's the part where "he can see his shadow" that overloads his suspension of disbelief.
It's not too hard -- thanks for the request :) Now that we've published swift-build, we have a pull request open to integrate it into SwiftPM, at which point it's just one build flag away. More details here: github.com/swiftlang/sw...
Memory usage graph showing utilisation at 1.37%
This is how efficient Swift on the Server is - this is the smaller Fargate task size available for ECS on AWS - we're yet to break 2% utilisation!
Fun short talk surfaced by the YouTube algorithm on how the DOOM first-person game plays in a non-Euclidean geometry (π ≉ 3.14159): youtu.be/_ZSFRWJCUY4
I’ve never been particularly enthusiastic about Android 😜
It's not too late to learn how to bring SwiftUI to your app! Check out this event next month at the Apple Developer Center in Cupertino (or online), where we'll explore how to get started with SwiftUI: developer.apple.com/events/view/...
I want to take today as an opportunity to highlight @mikaelacaron.com! She's a superpower to all sorts of learners in the Swift world, and is constantly engaging in the community. Thanks Mikaela!
I didn't realize how much fun it'd be to create your own UI component and turn it into a library. #SwiftUI
A “sprinkle catcher tray” from Target. Ostensibly for something cookie related.
My wife informs me that this is not, in fact, intended for use to help men pee without making a mess of the toilet.
Here we go!

You too, Thomas -- hopefully this year is one of happiness and new horizons for you. (And who knows, perhaps with a little Swift experimentation 😉)
Nice! I bought a WASD keyboard a few years ago, but I picked the wrong keycaps and I have regretted it ever since. But I'm determined not to get suckered into the endless search for the dream keyboard. I have too many keyboards already!
The London Eye is almost completely obscured by a cacophony of yellow-white fireworks and lights.
Just watched the London fireworks on BBC -- they were completely wild! Hope they get a full replay for international viewing -- one of the best I've seen!
Cool looking keyboard. I'm not sure whether I'd be able to adjust to the return key not being at the rightmost edge of the screen, but it looks very nice. Is the logo button in the upper right corner a screenshot button?
We just tried the new full self-driving update for the Tesla, and I’m in awe. Even my very skeptical wife admitted that it drove flawlessly on a challenging route, from reversing out of a space all the way home. It feels much less tentative and more predictable. Big improvement for a free update.
I really appreciated the nuanced take that was presented in Evicted, rather than just blaming either the tenants or the landlords. It demonstrated that hard systemic problems can’t be reduced to glib solutions.
Hugs Paris -- thinking of you today and sending you love in your grief 💔. Hopefully you have many memories and photos of happy holidays with your mom that you can reflect on.
