Johannes BrakensiekWhat kind of worries me is the observation that many <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GObject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GObject</a> / <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> projects are in a somewhat abondoned state since the overwhelming use of mobile apps and web services around 2012 to 2014. There are some great exemptions like the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Evolution</a> support by <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RedHat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedHat</a> and all the tools by <a href="https://mastodon.social/@linuxmint" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@linuxmint</a>.Same is to apply to the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ObjC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObjC</a> ecosystem which has seen few new projects since 2015 or so.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a>

Johannes Brakensiek<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@david_chisnall</a> I think there are great projects like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Darling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Darling</a> that were well worth to contribute to. But eventually to me it‘s this: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ObjC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObjC</a> still is fun, but its time is over, looking at activities on GitHub the ecosystem declines.

David SmithA little history about why we have this: when returning an object, *something* has to keep it alive long enough for the caller to take ownership of it by retaining it.In CoreFoundation and Swift, we do this by retaining it first then "giving" the retain to the caller, but without ARC to automate releasing it later this leads to a *lot* of code clutter.Autorelease allowed pre-ARC ObjC to avoid all the clutter by "giving" the retain to the pool instead of the caller.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/swiftlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swiftlang</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/objc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#objc</a>

calicodingI'm trying to customize how some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/objc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#objc</a> methods are imported into <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swift</a> as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/async" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#async</a> methods, but it seems like the clang attributes for this don't really work?In this example I want the second closure to be considered the completion handler, and if the argument to that closure is false (i.e. 0) then it should throw an error.

isaiahat the risk of sounding like an idiot. i have some xib warnings after updating to sequoia.i can’t update to the new SFSymbols without dropping support for everything except the bleeding edge. not an option.i don’t really want to ignore these warnings for the next 5 five years.what are my options here?is there something akin to @ available for xibs?or is my best bet to assign these with bindings and use @ available in code?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/objc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#objc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swift</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/noswiftuiplease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#noswiftuiplease</a>

David SkuzaAfter being with Mozilla for a little over 5 years, I've been laid off today, alongside a group of some of my favorite people. So, I'm on the job market!
