There is nobody funnier than Fred Willard. Every time he was on screen I got excited and he never disappointed. Every time I saw him in real life he was kind and generous. Watching him in Fernwood Tonight, Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and all of his other film...

My local shop is limiting the amount of flour you can buy, but it's four billion bags per customer, which is actually pretty reasonable.

Our teams at Apple have been working to help source supplies for healthcare providers fighting COVID-19. We’re donating millions of masks for health professionals in the US and Europe. To every one of the heroes on the front lines, we thank you.

Want to see something *really cool*? 😀 Since SwiftUI views are just plain old structs, they can easily be made Codable, which means that a view hierarchy can be decoded directly from JSON! 🤯 This is backend-driven UIs in <100 lines of code. Will publish all of it very soon 🚀

Developers: "I guess accessibility is important to some people, we'll get around to it" Developers at conferences: 🗣️ "CAN YOU INCREASE THE FONT SIZE I CAN'T READ THE CODE"

We’re altering the way we handle text in Figma. To find the right solution, @mwichary dove into the beautifully complex history of type and vertical alignment. More here: buff.ly/2XPfVUn

Been a rough week for Apple, so let me just say: the new iPad mini is great and the new AirPods are fantastic. 🙏🍎 – at San Francisco, CA

A (very) early example of video game art... Atari's Space Race (1973) did not have a ROM to store data. So half of the rocket shape was stored as an 8x16 diode matrix, which was mirrored to create the full shape. This is plainly visible in the schematic and the circuit board. 🚀

Ten years ago, I didn't know what unit tests, version control, or continuous integration were. Today, my code fails at each of these steps at least once a day. Follow your dreams.
