“MacBooks turned out to be the perfect target for the attack, because it works best when you have a very reflective surface to use as the laser target – and the Apple logo on the back of a MacBook screen has an almost mirror-like finish.”

The good news is that the Setapp version of Bartender is still on 5.0.48.
But it's probably a good idea to remove its Screenrecording permissions and block it with Little Snitch until there's more clarity around the situation.

“With the increased limit of the acceptance queue, and a patched version of wrk, we can now conclude that swift is a good competitor speed-wise as a web application server.
Memory wise it blows all the other technologies away, using only 2.5% of the amount of memory that the java implementation needs, and 10% of node-js.”

Folks who squash their #git merges, I’m curious why you are making that trade-off. I’m guessing the pro argument is a cleaner merge graph?
The big argument against it for me is that you lose granularity for git bisect. I've often been able to narrow down breakage (sometimes long past the merge) due to individual commits in the merge. If I'd merged in a giant blob all I'd have had to go by is that giant blob. (1/2)

The incredible advantage of working from home is that you're constantly surrounded by hard-working, leading-edge thinkers who sweat the details and inspire you to go further when in an office you'd be slumping back in your chair waiting for 5 o’clock to come around.

@npub1can…0fm9 It’s not, and I still wouldn’t give up working from home. But I think it’s time to rethink the assumption that all this time commuting should be the on the employee.

2023-09-12 05:28:28

Regarding “back to the office”: Why is the commute the employee’s burden anyway? Make it part of the work time and have at it, requiring people to come to the office. Three hours commute? You get 5 hours in the office.
Employees are available immediately at home but if they’ve required in the office, the clock starts when they leave home. You rent their time, your choice to spend it on travel.

People seem to be really upset about EU regulation. I can’t talk meaningfully about most of it but here’s one I have first hand experience with both as a user and as an implementor: #GDPR.
It’s a good thing.
I lead a team shipping an app + service just as GDPR came in effect and its influence on the design was a blessing. There was no battle to implement user features like data takeout and account deletion. The business actually wanted it (as did we, the devs of course).

How do you import and use a #Swift macro declared in another package? There is no `.macro()` product to import and I can't import the macro target.
E.g., how would I use https://github.com/FullQueueDeveloper/UniquelyTypedID ?
```
.target(name: "test", dependencies: [
.product(name: "UniquelyTypedID", package: "UniquelyTypedID")
]),
```
is insufficient ("Unknown attribute 'UniquelyTypedId’”) and I can't use `UniquelyTypedIDMacros` instead of `UniquelyTypedID`
Must be missing sth obvious 🤔
