What I want to see on Twitter: the tweets voluntarily tweeted by people I choose to follow, in order
What Twitter wants to show me: anything but that, apparently

"These APIs were only used by 1% of our developers" is so meaningless I can only believe it was selected in bad faith as the metric to share. What percentage of "tweet-views via 3rd party clients" do they represent?

This is obvious bullshit. Everyone I know who’s been using Twitter for 10+ years has the exact same complaints. It’s almost impressive at how bad Twitter is at stewarding their own platform. It’s sad how hard they’re trying to drive us away. #BreakingMyTwitter
We’ve heard feedback (#breakingmytwitter) from our customers about the pain this causes. We’re committed to understanding why people hire 3rd party clients over our own apps, and we’re going to do better with communicating changes

I want to run the thread sanitizer on our camera because I suspect we have a bug there but TSAN doesn’t work on devices and the sim has no camera support.
If Xcode 11 doesn’t add anything except for bridging the simulator’s camera to my Mac’s camera I’ll be thrilled.
PSA: If your build time is measured in minutes and not seconds then quitting Dropbox will probably give you a noticeable boost. It’s a performance virus, like AV software.

Reading @raganwald's JavaScript Allonge, all was going fine and sweet until I got to the Y combinator. I just don't get it. I can't move on until I get it. I can't stop, I can't not stop.

If you love your third-party Twitter app, I’ve got some really shitty news for you: apps-of-a-feather.com

Without 3rd party apps I don’t think I’d really use Twitter anymore. I read tweets in chronological order, not backwards. @TwitterDev: please consider supporting the apps that made you what you are now. #BreakingMyTwitter

Canada released a report on legal weed today. The authors needed a way to compare the maximum size of a licensed "micro-cultivation" area.
And lo, in all its Canadian glory:

I don’t think I have a use for this right now but what a great idea and execution. Regexes on permissions is a cool and nerdy touch.
Interesting Rust tool to find files with SQL-like queries: github.com/jhspetersson/fsel…
Even if you’re using open source libraries and the connection is encrypted end-to-end you could be attacked if you’re not auditing the code (and let’s be honest, most of us are not and probably don’t have time to).
Don’t take on new dependencies lightly.
The SDKs included in an iOS app run in the same scope as your app, meaning they get access to the same
- keychain data
- files
- app permission (hello location data and photo library)
- other sensitive user data (passwords, keys, camera)
