๐Ÿš€ Swift 6.2's brand new concurrency-safe notification system is here!
Solving the three major pain points of traditional NotificationCenter:
โŒ Error-prone string identifiers
โŒ Poor type safety with userInfo
โŒ Unclear thread behavior

โœ… MainActorMessage: Main thread-safe execution
โœ… AsyncMessage: Async cross-thread delivery
โœ… Strong typing with compile-time checks
โœ… Perfect compatibility with legacy APIs

@SeanMcTex Might do that. I'd like it on the PS5 for convenience but for longevity I prefer steam

A photo of a hand holding a leather wallet, out of which is popping a physical card that is an advertisement for the film F1: The Movie.

@tvaziri do you know anyone who does actual in-depth analysis of movies and tv shows? Sometimes I feel like I can feel something is wrong with the writing or pacing or something but I don't have the vocabulary to describe it, and I'm curious if there's actual analysis options I'm unaware of (not just: is movie good or not should you go see it level)

The mad lads did it! They just put a camera somewhere cool and then just let it play. It has some advertising at the start and the angle is weird because like half the view is covered by a mirror but it's cool! Also beware if you have motion sickness in VR, I don't and I felt a touch queasy.

Ok... an immersive video from inside an F1 car seems cool. Hope it's not cut every 3 seconds to a new angle

@kyle Congrats! It's a ton of fun and a ton of frustration bundled together, as many good things are.

@designatednerd @simon "agentic misalignment" is quite a phrase to describe this phenomenon.

I was curious how liquid glass would handle screenshotting copyrighted content. No problems.

A screenshot of the liquid glass controls over a video that is blacked out due to DRM restrictions. The liquid glass effect simply applies to the DRM blocked content.

How I sometimes feel when I read Apple's documentation:

A diagram from a user manual for a speakerphone shows several buttons. The labels intended to explain the functionality of each button are identical to the button icons, making the labels redundant.
