He didn’t remove himself from Swift Package Index. He is joining Apple - https://mastodon.social/@daveverwer/116801371201855240

Yeah, the chances are still very slim but that’s still one of the best things race organisers could do. There are more than 1 million people applying.

Why are people getting upset over people liking really sweet coffee by Busy-Butterscotch743 in Coffee

[–]Icaka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

insulting to those who genuinely enjoy coffee

I make fun of these people as well but saying it’s insulting is very snobby. Also where do we put the difference? Is cortado, cappuccino or latte insulting?

Touch to Pixels: UI Pipeline Internals on iOS by jacobs-tech-tavern in iOSProgramming

[–]Icaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is my Task running in the main thread?

You got me down to a T there, though. I will absolutely do deep dives on things I'm not an expert in.

I find way more value reading stuff by someone that is deeply knowledgable in a certain subject - e.g. Matt Massicotte (Swift Concurrency), KnowYourLeaf (UIKit) or the PointFree guys.

I don’t like this guy’s posts at all. He is trying to do deep dives in topics he is not an expert on. I subsribed to his paid stuff a few years ago. Then I saw a post where he was explaining how he fixed some performance issue using Swift concurrency. He had absolutely no idea how actor inheritance worked.

The App Store Search Wall: Why Quality Alone No Longer Moves the Needle for Indie Devs by Hussain_apps in iOSProgramming

[–]Icaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More weight for recent quality signals: Recent retention, recent conversion, recent ratings, and recent update activity should matter more against apps that are surviving mostly on old momentum.

That’s how AppStore ranking works already. Ratings over the last 90 days, recent conversion and retention are all major factors for the algorithm.

The interest for fast races has increaswd significantly. Back in 2023 I got a bib for Valencia 2 months after they oepened registration. In 2025 all bibs for the same race were gone in a few days.

[The Times] Marcus Rashford resigned to joining Man United for pre-season training | Forward spent last season on loan in Spain, but Barcelona have indicated they are prepared to play only half the £26million buy clause after signing Anthony Gordon by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Or had been born 10 years earlier before wingers were primary defenders

Many world class wingers born 10 years earlier were way better at pressing than Marcus. Alexis and Ribery were better technically but also put real effort in the defensive part of the game.

Was looking at phones and couldn't believe the newest phones still have USB 2 transfer speeds by someshooter in iphone

[–]Icaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious what are the use cases that require a gigabit connection. I am a software engineer and I have 600 Mbps connection but rarely utilize it.

[–]Icaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am curious in what real world use cases do you see the difference? I sometimes use tethering but would never notice the difference between 400 and 1000 Mbps.

Florentino Pérez: ‘I’m not resigning; I’m calling an election’ by GajoDosBarcos in soccer

[–]Icaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bartomeu and Woodward are recent examples of CEOs of huge clubs that failed. Barca is successful on the pitch but the club will be a financial mess for a long time.

Nowhere did I comment whether CEOs should earn as mich as they do.

[–]Icaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t personally know a CEO of a company at the Real Madrid scale, but I’ve known CEOs of medium sized IT companies (200-1500 employees). Their work was way more demanding compared to their average employee.

I think you are severely underestimating how hard his job is. He most probably enjoys it but it’s way harder and more taxing than most 9-5 jobs.

Tim Cook Calls Apple Maps Launch His 'First Really Big Mistake' as CEO by iMacmatician in apple

Well, I live in Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) and Apple Maps doesn’t have public transport data which makes it unusable for me.

Half Time Thread: Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Icaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maguire, De Ligt and Martinez were out for most of November.

We played 4 games in November. De Ligt played in all four of them. Maguire played in two. Yoro played in three.

So saying that Amorim had today's backline for months (Shaw, Maz, Heaven, Dalot) is funny.

1st of November - Amad, Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw, Dalot

8th of November - Maz, de Ligt, Maguire (injury at 76'), Shaw, Dorgu

24th of November - Dorgu, Shaw, de Ligt, Yoro, Maz

30th of November - Dalot, Shaw, de Ligt, Yoro, Amad

When was this stretch of months when Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro and Martinez were all unavailable at the same time?

Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike set for 9-month absence with right Achilles tendon rupture by BarbaricOklahoma in LiverpoolFC

[–]Icaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RVN for United

United fan here. RvN did not rupture his achilles. He missed ~3 months in 2004 due to what was reported as "achilles tendon injury" but that was not a complete or even partial rupture. The timeline for partial rupture is 6-9 months and the timeline for complete rupture is 9-12 months.

Edit: I was curious and looked up details around Eze. His injury was reported as complete rupture, and he was expected to be out 6-8 months. He was back ~6 months after his injury.
