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. 🙏

Some time ago I have written an article about interesting way to use Strings in #Swift. If you wish, feel free to take a look and tell me what I did wrong.

Some interesting things we can do with strings in Swift

Today I want to discuss strings in Swift Hello everyone. I am trying to reinforce my knowledge of some interesting topics by writing about them.

I came across a blog from a 2 years ago that compared different implementations of dot product. It had a couple interesting points. The cost of functional programming in #Swift was huge (31x on M1 and 198x on x86). I did an equivalent test in #Rust and the cost was 1x (on M2). That lets programmers use the high level abstractions without dreading the performance costs.

Rust:
left.iter().zip(right.iter())
.map(|(&l, &r)| l * r )
.sum::<f64>()

• Have an AI generate some of your writing assignment.
• Critique its output. Call BS on its BS.

Assignment details in screenshots below. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Project check-in 2: Shred the AI Due Friday by 6pm I asked the ChatGPT AI to explain the core concept behind our Swift optionals activity. The AI produced an answer that was very impressive…for an AI. For a human, the answer would be pretty bad writing: fastidiously grammatical but verbose, full of fluff and waste, repeating ideas instead of synthesizing them, and sometimes just flat-out wrong. Here is what the AI wrote Links to an external site.. Here are my comments on its response Links to an external site.. (Don’t worry: I won’t be this detailed or this harsh with your writing. I want to be as critical as I can be, and I know I won’t hurt the AI’s feelings.) Here is my own attempt at a better answer to the same questions Links to an external site.. The fundamental problem with the AI’s answer is that it doesn’t really know what its main point is. It meanders around the relevant concepts, but it never quite manages to get to the heart of the central idea at hand. It is parroting fragments of the words of others, hoping that somehow they will coalesce into a coherent new thought. (They don’t.) It’s uncanny how much it’s like bad student writing. If I didn’t know this was written by an AI, I would probably think it was written by a student (or maybe an employee at a web content farm) trying to fill out their minimum word count at the last minute based on nothing but hasty web searching.
You all can do much better than the AI! Instead of doing a traditional pre-submission project check-in, I have a challenge for you: ask an AI to write a few paragraphs of your paper, and then critique its output. Here’s what to do: Use an AI (ChatGPT or other) to generate a few paragraphs of your final project. You can use the AI to generate English text or code, whichever is appropriate to your project. You can use ChatGPT or a different AI. The OpenAI account you need for ChatGPT is cheap but not free, and maybe a little intrusive. If you don’t want to set up an account and generate text yourself, let me know your topic and I will happily generate some text for you. Just ask. Save the raw text the AI gave you. Write comments about the AI’s output, much like the ones I wrote above. You can write your comments inline like I did, or use the Comments / Suggested Edits features of Google Docs, or use the Review / Track Changes features of MS Word. Consider the following: What is correct, a good point? What is wrong? What is missing? (This is the hardest one.) What is useless, just filler language? You do not have to be as detailed as I was with the AI. Quick notes are fine! Please send me (1) the original AI text and (2) your comments.
You do not have to create the “better human version” like I did. Of course, doing so might help you write your paper. If you choose to do that, however, don’t let the AI decide your paper’s structure for you. It might give you some good ideas for things to talk about! It might point out some ideas and resources you hadn’t considered! But it might also mislead you into a line of argument that is wrong (as the AI did with my response above), or into a structure that doesn’t make sense. Don’t switch off your own good sense — not for a computer, and not for a human either. Not ever. JUST TO BE CLEAR: Using an AI to help write your assignment would be cheating in most circumstances. Don’t let the fact that we are doing this as an exercise confuse you about the ethics of coursework in general! If you think an AI would help you with an assignment, you need to ask your instructor. Hopefully you already know all that, but I do not want to leave any confusion about it.

The first half hour of @rjmccall’s talk provides really good insight into Apple’s plans and motivation for Swift: a single successor language for C/C++/Obj-C for the entire stack, including kernel and embedded systems. Focused on correctness, safety, and security. Incremental adoption is key, hence the importance of interop with C, Obj-C, and now C++. #Swift

Man Reader - my Mac app for reading Terminal command man pages - has finally had its long awaited update. The new version is now waiting for review.

Currently, Man Reader costs USD 4.99 or the local equivalent. I will be increasing this to USD 9.99 when the update is released, so if you want to save some money, buy it now and get the upgrade at half-price.

One thing I particularly like about Rust — which I’m very new to — is how thoughtfully the compiler errors and warnings have been designed. It not only diagnoses and explains the problem: it provides a possible solution. Genius.

This is the essence of good design: it’s compassionate, anticipating the needs and wants of another person. I can’t think of another language that does anything like this. Certainly not Swift, not that I’m bitter.

Using #GTK and #Libadwaita in #swift Attempt Number 2.

Instead of using GIR to generate the code, use hand-written bindings.
More work? - Yes

Full coverage? - No

Better API and easier to use? - Yes

Fellow #iOS #swift #swiftui developers. Do you know if the ButtonRole structure actually does anything purposeful? With #VoiceOver, I cannnot get any indication whatsoever about the button’s role, while at the AppleDeveloper documentation site: developer.apple.com/documentat…, they state that such an info should be conveyed. Is there any visual indication of the role? If so, what?

Hi, I'm treefit, a #foss dev working on #deltachat. I'm responsible for the desktop client together with @jikstra.
My favorite coding language is #rustlang, but I "speak" #typescript, #javascript, #html, #css, too.
I'm also capable in #python and #swift, but not as much.

I'm new to the mastodon/toot style of communication (never used Twitter, either), so I'm still learning of how this all works.

My goal is to give you some behind-the scenes peeks onto the DeltaChat development.
