The Swift Performance team isn’t *my* team, but they’re in my hallway. Or in London if you’d prefer. They’re looking for an engineer who’s not afraid of optimizers. jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail...
😔 feel better!
No, I really was not ready for this. Why? What? Please, humans, be better.
This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Yes, that's right, they do not converge. Currently, I only care for ethernet in one place which works fine. If I need it elsewhere, I'll need to place two extra switches throughout the flat. Essentially daisy chaining the switches.
Good day! Inspired by thehftguy.com/2026/01/22/d... I took off my phone sockets to check what's behind. Turns out: CAT 5e! Found three separate cables, previously daisy chained. Ordered RJ45 sockets to replace phone sockets and undid daisy chains. Soon Ethernet in the flat, psyched!
Quite a few groups seem to be rather successful making many of us believe the opposite.
So please note! Some things are getting meaningfully better.
FOSDEM, the legendary open source gathering in Brussels, is coming soon, and we'd love to see you there! We've got multiple talks on Swift plus a pre-FOSDEM community meetup. Whether you're a longtime attendee or new to the event, come say hi! 👋 swiftlang.github.io/event-fosdem/ #FOSDEM
Happy New Year, @swift.org crew! So happy to be back, I hope everyone enjoyed some time off.
If you're looking to catch up on Swift news, check out the December digest: www.swift.org/blog/whats-n... and let me know what you think!
Wholewheat bread labelled 'German bread'
What should we call wholewheat (partially rye?) bread?
I guess only Germans like that, so let's go with 'German bread' 😅.
It's really yummy btw!
👏 Super cool to get Swift on the server showcased at reInvent
import Foundation let calendar = Calendar.current let openSourceDay = calendar.date(from: DateComponents(year: 2015, month: 12, day: 3))! let anniversary = calendar.date(byAdding: .year, value: 10, to: openSourceDay)! if calendar.isDateInToday(anniversary) { print("10 Years of Swift open source! 🎉") }
🎉 10 years of open source Swift! A decade ago today, we opened Swift to the world with a simple blog post: swift.org/blog/welcome
What's grown since—thanks to an incredible community of contributors—has been extraordinary. Here's to the next ten years. 🧡
We'd be happy to see you at the inaugural Swift for Wasm Community Hour on 3rd of December! More details in this post on Swift Forums: forums.swift.org/t/swift-for-...
⚙️ Swift progress on embedded Swift, for memory-safe, fast code in resource-constrained environments. The latest updates are coming to Swift 6.3, and you can read more here: www.swift.org/blog/embedde... #IoT
Yes!? I don't understand it either. Seems actively bad unless there are situations where there's no other solution.
Ever since the parliamentary wars of Brexit, the UK media and Westminster bubble craving for drama seems to have increased exponentially.
What is technically still a relatively 'new' Labour government with a huge absolute majority is already (portrayed?) as fighting with its lasts gasps.
Very cool to see AWS and the Swift community work on this together aws.amazon.com/blogs/openso...
In every region of the globe, Solar Turbines is a world leader in mid-range industrial gas turbines for use in power generation, natural gas compression, and pumping systems. Our systems last for decades, and so do our service and support.
Cat's marketing department is ... something. Seems like they're making gas turbines in a facility they call "Solar Turbines". Under the Oil & Gas category, of course.
Observability is the key to understanding how your system performs and where problems are occurring. Moritz Lang and Si Beaumont gives us the run down on how it works in Swift!

Good luck!! And thank you
Do you have an FB number with the crash report attached? Possibly even a repro you can share?

Yeah, will switch to daytime pyro when we're all out for 4 hours or more too!
Isn't that too beautiful? PM2.5 of an overnight pyrolytic oven clean starting at 1am.
Still woke up at 3am on account of bad air, despite closed doors and open windows in kitchen...
It's been an incredible year for the conference. We had attendees from 6(!) continents come together for an amazing 3 days of workshops, talks and meeting each other face to face. Thank you to all the volunteers and speakers, it's been truly special
The new Swift configuration API makes the most of Swift's type checking and expressivity to make it eady to solve common config tasks. @czechboy0.dev walks us through its features @serversideswift.info
