@isolated(any)

Matt Massicotte explains Swift’s @ isolated(any): it records a function’s actor isolation and exposes it via an isolation property.

He shows how Task/TaskGroup use it for smarter scheduling and MainActor ordering, and says most callers can ignore it. He notes API authors may add it when passing isolated functions.

It also covers the history, practical applications (functions, layers, microservices), pros/cons, examples, and comparisons with SRP, DRY, OCP, DIP, and SSOT.

Apple’s new language model can write long texts incredibly fast

Apple and The Ohio State University introduce FS-DFM, a few-step diffusion/flow-matching language model that generates long-form text up to 128× faster by refining tokens in parallel over ~8 iterations.

Training tweaks - variable step budgets, a teacher-guided update rule, and steadier per-step dynamics - deliver lower perplexity and more stable entropy than larger diffusion baselines, with code and checkpoints planned.

From 47s to 3s: An Unofficial Gym Wallet Pass

A fascinating story in which the author reverse-engineers PureGym’s API, calls out the absurd static 8-digit PIN vs rotating QR and builds an unofficial Apple Wallet pass with a Swift/Vapor backend that auto-updates via PassKit and syncs to Apple Watch - cutting entry time from 47s to 3s.

He also scrapes gym locations and capacity for geofenced passes/Home Assistant and reflects on the security theater and ethics of this personal hack.

Lessons from Microsoft’s Performance Reviews: Ranking, Culture, and Feedback

Alan Page, a former Principal Engineer at Microsoft, reflects on the company’s evolving performance review systems, from strict stack ranking in the 1990s to a flawed nine-box model and later iterations that still relied on ranking employees.

He shares personal experiences of unfair evaluations, organizational politics, and how these systems encouraged unhealthy competition.

Page argues that tools like the nine-box grid can be valuable if used for meaningful discussions about growth and culture rather than quotas.

The key takeaway is the importance of building a strong feedback culture with continuous, candid communication instead of relying solely on annual reviews.
