Gestern hat ein deutscher Alexander ein schreckliches Attentat in Mannheim verübt. Gestoppt wurde er von Afzal aus Pakistan. Dass ihr so wenig davon hört liegt daran, dass Vorname und Herkunft für viele offensichtlich nur interessant sind, wenn man das für rechte Hetze missbrauchen kann.
I'm impressed by how good VS Code has become for developing Swift apps on Windows.
Floods in Europe.

45 climate scientists were asked what we thought of this years' climate disasters. Here are the highlights.
We all pretty much agree that "despite it certainly feeling as if events had taken a frightening turn, global heating to date is entirely in line with 3 decades of scientific predictions. But being proved right is cold comfort, as our warnings had so far been largely in vain."
"Climate science’s projections are pretty robust over the last decades. Unfortunately, humanity’s stubbornness to spew out ever higher amounts of greenhouse gases has also been pretty robust." @meinshausen
"What we are seeing this year is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, of what we expect to happen,” says Natalie Mahowald, and "this will become the average summer in 10 years’ time unless the world cooperates and puts climate action top of the agenda" adds Piers Forster.
As Gavin Schmidt said previously, we are not surprised, but we are shocked. Krishna AchutaRao agrees, adding that "the impacts are frighteningly more impactful than I – and many climate scientists I know – expected.”
As a result, psychological distance is decreasing. “I do think we are hitting a tipping point in global consciousness,” I said. “Nearly everyone can now point to someone or somewhere they love that is being affected by wildfire smoke, heat extremes, flooding, and more.”
And we all agree about what needs to be done. “We need to stop burning fossil fuels,” says Fredi Otto. “Now."
* By "we," we mean starting with the biggest emitters. As Paola Arias says, "We need a just + equitable transition. A very small % of the population is responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions.” [specifically, Oxfam finds that the richest 1% produce 2x the carbon of the poorest 50%]
Hey if you're here because Twitter/X is down, just stay here. Delete the Twitter app from your phone - like genuinely tab out and do it right now - lock your account when the site's back up, and stop posting there already.
What is the #cleancode way to handle loging form different points in the application. Apps tend to be littered with logging calls, but that seems to violate all sorts of #solid and #architecture rules. But we still need to be able to log and many different places

If you want to write testable code, write the tests first!
@pixelscience Thx for that hint. SwiftAsyncAssert is now officially available on Swift Package Index 🚀 🎉
Since XCTest does not support async expressions in its assert functions I released SwiftAsyncAsserts Swift package to fill that gap.
Write more readable testing code for your async type interfaces in Swift.

Good morning Austria!
Today is your #CountryOverShootday
You consumed already the resources our planet would produce in one year!
Well done! 😔
