Swift Algorithms
Apple announced an open-source algorithms project with some very over-the-top, flashy language. π
Iβm excited to announce Swift Algorithms, a new open-source package of sequence and collection algorithms, along with their related types.
π Announcing Swift Algorithms
This library seems to be a sort of farm league for things that might make it to big leagues of the Swift Standard Library eventually.
Swift Algorithms lets you do just about anything you can think of with a collection (or two). It lets you do stuff like rotate [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60] to [30, 40, 50, 60, 10, 20], or find all possible permutations of [10, 20, 30], and lots of other things like chunking, random sampling, etc. Fun. π€

Get Ready For The Roaring 2020’s
I’ve been saying for a few months that I really want to make the most of this awful pandemic. Stuck at home with time on your hands, it’s a great chance to focus and reinvent yourself. So I loved seeing this post touting the idea that we’re just getting ready for the next phase of our lives individually and collectively.
Prepare for the Golden Age: Why The Next Decade Will be Awesome
This post says that people will thrive in the coming years if they have the right attitude and beliefs, or dwindle if they let the changes in the world beat them down.
Many of us have spent the past year not just coping with the present moment, but getting better. When the conditions are back to normal, weβre already going to have momentum. The golden age is upon us.
Is this just wishful thinking? Maybe so, but your beliefs tend to become your reality, so this is a good starting point.
And as more people believe this, the more real it will be for everyone.
The world has been through much worse than the current situation and come out better on the other end. Make the most of it.
I just feel something in the air. I feel an awakening. I have this strong conviction that a large portion of society is just done with the pessimistic outrage culture nonsense. Weβre ready to take control of not just the discourse, but our own lives.
Happy roaring 2020’s.
