his substack is very good, in the "i don't always agree but it's always thoughtful" way rosselliotbarkan.com
nytimes needs to switch their default ross from douthat to barkan imho www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/m...
start small - someone in good shape in general can run 21km, but the chance of getting injured is not worth it imho. ramp up to distances and it’ll be both safer and more enjoyable because you’ll feel strong & able to run decent times instead of struggling to finish
Tuist Registry got a shout-out in the latest iOS Dev Weekly newsletter if you needed another reason to check it out 😉
Afterwards, we might consider package authors to decide how they want their packages to be released on our registry - and let them decide whether they want to publish their package to the Tuist Registry directly or they want to keep us populating their releases via GitHub.
The first next step for the registry would be to allow publishing private packages - similar to what JFrog and Cloudsmith already offer, but now under one registry with all the open source packages.
We need to acknowledge the current status quo where GitHub tags are _the_ way to release Swift packages and it would take quite some time to change that, especially for a registry not officially maintained or recommended by Apple.
As for the comment about the Tuist Registry "mirroring" releases from GitHub, this was the fastest way to provide the most value to the ecosystem and we think it strikes the right balance.
You know you did something interesting when Dave Werver highlights your work in the iOS Dev Weekly newsletter - and even writes up a whole commentary for it 💜

Databases hold your company's entire history.
3 rules:
• Never drop columns in prod without a deprecation period
• Always have a rollback plan
• Test with production-scale data

we’re on a combination of services, this bit goes through cloudfront which is a little less magic afaik
yep, this demo is kind of hard to integrate with that but i really want to use that or xeiaso.net/blog/2025/an... soon!
i still think there's real innovation in llms and they'll have a positive impact. but the behavior of a lot of the people in the space - these crawlers ignoring all the norms with robots.txt and companies knowingly training on pirated material - this is more the category of 'people doing bad stuff'
the final step of my llm-related demo today is to write some code to block llm crawlers from hammering the demo website with requests, blowing through my llm bills, this is all good and normal
