Unarmed queers in a gay bar in Colorado Springs were able to do what hundreds of armed men couldn't do in Uvalde.

[1/3] It does seem increasingly weird that the tech press never writes about @handmade_hero, despite the high number of people who watch it and the surprisingly large number of people who have gotten jobs from it...

I'm heartbroken about what's happening in my country. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. It's time for good people with different views to stop finger pointing and come together to address this violence for the good of our country.

“Computers are fast these days!” is not a rebuttal — the test in the initial tweet was done on an 2017 MacBook Pro. Also, some people have slow computers and slow internet. Think of them.

Hey @tim_cook, @pschiller, Craig Federighi, @cue, and @interscopejimmy — next year can the WWDC bash have a band with a female lead? I'm not sure if there has ever been a female led band play WWDC, but definitely not in the last 10 years. It's time.

‘Twas the week before #DubDub and all thro’ the net Not a coder was coding; not a var nor a let. The CIs were paused on the servers with care In hopes that @tim_cook soon would appear. The devs were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of Marzipan danced in their heads.

We strongly believe that being class-free has repeatedly opened doors for us: * make subtle changes without fear or breaking some dark corner of the site * write detailed tests with little ceremony * find new ways of composing things without much work github.com/pointfreeco/point…

MBProgressHUD, #11. Still popular 10 years after its initial release. 😃 I might have done more harm than good with that thing. 🙈 Please don’t block your app’s UI with a progress indicator unless you really need to. xitter.cf/orta/status/9960358011…

In the nearly four years since Swift was introduced Mac Playgrounds have remained completely stagnant while subsequently being lapped by React Storybooks and Jupyter Notebooks.

Xcode 9.3 beta 4 adds support for `#if canImport(UIKit)` (SE-0075) and `#if targetEnvironment(simulator)` (SE-0190). The `IndexDistance` associated type has also been replaced by `Int` (SE-0191)

The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year. TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6.

You are sensationalizing a quote out of context. A complete contextualized quote would be that "code gen of swift is more complex than c++"

The federal gov. has handled Sandy worse than Katrina. There is no excuse why people don't have electricity or fuel yet.
