       My little library of Swift concurrency additions continues to be immensely useful to myself, and others which is super cool!Aside from the basically-necessary FIFO task queue, now it also includes Async(Throwing)Subject, which makes it much easier to make an AsyncSequence from non-async code.https://github.com/chimeHQ/ConcurrencyPlus

       @kyle @krzyzanowskim not enough info to be sure, but in general no, actors are not serialized and could definitely do more than one at a time

       @helge @cocoaphony @krzyzanowskim @kyle definitely not useless, but also not a magic solution to all (many) synchronization needs.

       @krzyzanowskim @helge @cocoaphony @kyle sorry if that comment sounded weird. I’ve never used actors in any other environment, so I’m unsure how they stack up.I find swift concurrency to be difficult to use right. Its subtle and often deceiving. I’ve introduced lots of races using it.

       Number of days since I used a actor but actually needed a queue: 0It’s amazing to me a Task queue is not part of the Swift standard library. It is critical for so many simple/common things.

       Any macOS developers still doing anything with the Touch Bar? SwiftUI does make it a lot easier but, I'm having a hard time justifying it at all...

       Ah Saturday. A time to relax, recharge, and frantically invent a presentation you for some reason agreed to do in 36 hours.

       Programmers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.

       “So under 'hobbies' you have listed ‘programming'?”“Yes!”“But I also see it listed here under 'things you despise with all your being'”“Yes that’s correct”
