When it comes to performance optimization, an OrderedSet is excellent for avoiding the O(n) performance trap.
Still, I find it somewhat surprising that the Swift Standard Library doesn’t include it by default, while Objective-C’s Foundation framework does provide NS(Mutable)OrderedSet.

Liebe Folglinge,
ich suche leider noch immer nach einem neuen Job als #iOS und/oder #macOS Entwickler. Ich spreche #ObjectiveC, #Swift (auch Server-Side) und #SwiftUI und nutze die ganzen Tools drumherum (#Xcode, #Git, #GitHub, #GitHubActions, #ShellScripting etc.). Ich bringe 30 Jahre Berufserfahrung als Software-Entwickler mit, davon knapp 20 im #Apple Ökosystem.
Am Idealsten waere eine #Festanstellung zu 100% remote. Sollte es im Raum #Bregenz oder #Dornbirn etwas geben, dann auch gerne vor Ort.
Ich danke euch fuers Teilen.

I'm pretty happy with writing for my current client in Objective-C. Looking back, I wonder what I would need to see it thrive in the future.
Maybe better enums, tuples, better structs and maybe a better async approach than blocks or delegates. Ah maybe also Generics, like Golang recently introduced.

Crazy thought… what if your decompiled Objective-C code looked like Objective-C code?
Today's journey: implementing an Objective-C “pseudo-language” view for Binary Ninja.
Sometimes being an open-source maintainer is nice. I haven't done paid consulting for the GNUstep Objective-C Runtime for ages (I wasn't doing enough for it to be worth the tax effort and I'm not always able to commit to doing things in a sufficiently timely fashion to set up the expectations that being paid creates), so I added a note a while ago telling people to donate to Murray Edwards if they find the project useful.
Last week, I got the following email from the nice folks at Algoriddim saying (abridged):
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we appreciate your continued work on the GNUstep runtime, and that we’ve made another donation to Murray Edwards to support women in computer science.
Always nice to see things being paid forwards.
Hmmm… setting
set_source_files_properties(Sourcefile.mm PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-fobjc-arc")
for each file seems to fix the issue, though now I’m getting a link error on Swift. Anyway, on to the next error, I guess.
OK, I'm trying to build some mixed C++, ObjC and Swift code with CMake (CLion).
Since the Xcode generator doesn’t seem to work with Swift anymore, I switched over to Ninja, and now all ObjC files are built without ARC.
How do I tell CMake with Ninja to build ObjC(++) files with ARC, but not Swift files??
We wouldn't have this problem with DOGE's interns if they had to learn COBOL, FORTRAN, and PASCAL - like I had to.
BTW: My major programming language? Perl
Second only to Objective-C... NOT SWIFT. Obj-C!
Unfortunately, I have to look for a new job.
I'm an #iOS and #macOS #software #developer, experienced in #UIKit, #AppKit, #ObjectiveC, #Swift and #SwiftUI, have worked with the #Parse framework as well as #Realm / #MongoDB and the whole toolchain around it. I have been working in software development for about 30 years and am looking for a remote position (permanent role, preferably in an AT/DE startup).
So if you know someone who knows someone. Thanks for sharing.
Rising #hacker @eva has discovered #CVE-2024-45489 which completely compromises @arcbrowser #arcbrowser:
#firebase #javascript #objectivec #firestore #mastodon #fediverse @defcon
@stevendbrewer @SuperDicq @radmin not all, but a lot do...
Granted that mostly applies to #ObjectiveC and #Cocoa framework code.
#Swift and #iOS really deprecated a lot of those for Kits in terms of APIs and ABIs...
ARC made my life easy all these years, but today I can use some input from #Cocoa (or #Swift / #ObjectiveC) #Xcode developers to understand if I'm creating a potential memory leak…
There’s a lot of internal logic I’d find hard to describe to provide more context, but basically my app has an array of NSWindowControllers, each corresponding to windows the User can open in addition to the initial (main) one. (1/5)
'Almost every Apple device' vulnerable to CocoaPods
ᐅ The Register
｢ CocoaPods, an open-source dependency manager used in over three million applications coded in Swift and Objective-C, left thousands of packages exposed and ready for takeover for nearly a decade – thereby creating opportunities for supply chain attacks on iOS and macOS apps, according to security researchers ｣

Have you ever found an old code repository of yours and felt amused & surprised when reading this old cold of yours ?
Today, I opened my BitBucket account for the first time in 6 years and found all these old personal projects in #ObjectiveC from 10-12 years ago.
I want a proper ANSI color terminal for NeXT computers. The only apps from back in the day are lost to the sands of time. I contacted the author of one and he is no longer able to generate license codes, rendering it useless.
I think the best option would be to backport the Terminal app from GNUstep but my rudimentary programming skills wouldn't even get me started. I know there are others who would like such a thing. Maybe we could pitch in and pay a professional to do it. But how would we find such a person?
