Completely tangential, but can we please stop putting one million files at the root of the project which have nothing to do with the project? Can we land on a convention like, idk, a `.meta` folder (n…

Did that happen recently (the compiler just bailing out)? Because they got much better at that, and it’s been a long while since that happened to me. Like “I don’t even remember when was the last ti…

That was true for Swift 2, maybe a little for Swift 3, but it has not been true since a long time now…

How so? I can indeed target every layer of the software stack using Swift, today . E.g. ClearSurgery[0] is written fully in Swift, including the real-time components running on the Linux boxes. [0]…

Oh yes, I have had that! I tried disabling workspace for my brother-in-law through screen sharing and I thought it was a screen sharing issue. I successfully did it on my own computer but I’m glad to …

I have used that in a project of my own[0] for convenience (avoid duplicated code), but it is uncommon, yes. I truly think it should be avoided in general, especially when what you actually want (in O…
