Knowledge is personal, manage it that way https://mcgeesmusings.net/2024/06/06/knowledge-is-personal-manage-it-that-way/

"The starting point for effective knowledge management in organizations needs to be knowledge management at the personal level. If you are a knowledge worker, effective personal knowledge management matters."

Amen!

Why has everything that has to do with software to be this frustrating these days?

#Bartender for #macOS was silently sold and it seems like the new owners have no intentions to say who they are.

So as usual: Is there an open source alternative to Bartender? I'm so sick of this stuff…

I've resurrected Vadym Markov's Fakery as Mockery: https://github.com/tonyarnold/Mockery

Not sure what the plan is yet — I'd like to bring it closer to faker.js, but it also feels like there should be a smarter way to maintain and update the bundled sample data.

I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 1000+ sales (!!!), I'm giving away 1000 PDF copies of How Git Works (honour system: only if $12 is a lot for you!)

Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy https://wizardzines.com/zines/git/

(it'll ask you for a billing address but you can enter a fake address if you'd prefer)

Here's a subtle #accessibility interaction I frequently see developers overlook:

#SwiftUI makes it very easy to customize Button's appearance at the call-site, either by decorating the Button's label or by applying View Modifiers to the Button itself.

Screenshot, iOS Simulator. Two buttons on top of a map showing Apple Park. The left button is capsule shaped and says Filter, the right button is circular and shows a filled Location icon. Both have blue labels on white background with a slight shadow.

If you are building a system that has user management with password protection, make sure you state what your strength and structure requirements are when asking someone to choose a password.

Don't admonish or surprise a user who has, in good faith, chosen a password that lacks some particular feature (length, special characters, etc.) when you failed to inform them of such a requirement.

It is generally not considered polite or appropriate to blame others for your mistakes and oversights 🙃

🎶🎸 'I want to ride my bicylcle' ist nicht nur eine Strophe aus einem bekannten Queen Song, sondern auch in 🇩🇪 Programm. 🚴 #SchonGewusst: Bei uns gibt es mehr Fahrräder als Einwohnerinnen & Einwohner!

Eine Studie des Zweirad-Industrie Verbands (ZIV) zeigt, dass der #Fahrrad- bzw. E-Bike-Bestand im vergangenen Jahr auf 84 Millionen angestiegen ist. 🥳

Darunter sind 11 Millionen #EBikes, welche auch im Rahmen des steuerbegünstigten Dienstfahrrads gefördert werden.

There is no time like the present to grab a deal, and what a deal this is. Simply the best written resources for #SwiftUI out there. You will not regret it. I own every one of them and use them regularly. I only endorse products I use. https://www.bigmountainstudio.com/a/77jt8

Today marks 10 years of Swift.

I was in love at first sight. Swift changed my life.

Things I struggled with for years became easy. Things that were impossible became doable.

I’m looking forward to the next ten years!

Nice way to interact with GNOME's search... I have tracker disabled, so not much to see. This action will open the app description in GNOME Software.

The most important thing is for me to remember what the code does.

The Better/Best options Nick suggests let the compiler know the same thing and are essential if other folks are using your API. Prevents a foot shot.

A Swift concurrency pattern I’m seeing more and more is the “stateless actor”. This is fascinating, because it seems so counterintuitive. But I think people are reaching for this to get convenient access to background processing.

I don’t think this is “wrong”. But I think it is probably building bad habits. Local, private nonisolated methods are usually simpler and better long-term.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
