Project mention: Release Radar · September 2024: Major updates from the open source community | dev.to | 2024-10-04
From the team at MongoDB comes Realm, a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets, or wearables. It's built for mobile, and designed for offline use. The latest release comes with built-in Swift 6 language mode, and Xcode 16 support. Some breaking changes include removal of Atlas App Services and Atlas Device Sync functionality, Strings and Data now considered different types and thus queries won't match one another, and Realms are no longer autoreleased when initialised. Dig into all the updates in the Realm changelog.

Project mention: Apple now allows retro game emulators on its App Store | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-07
Tangentially related: if anybody is looking for a good way to organize a library of retro emulators and games on their MacOS laptops/desktop computers then I recommend OpenEmu. It is designed from the ground up to look and feel like a Mac app.

2. Deserializing JSON into objects I knew for this project I'd have to deserialize GeoJSON into objects to work with them effectively in the app. Building this beast of a class felt quite daunting for being brand new to Dart and also for what was quite a complex GeoJSON file. However, I found an open source library called quicktype that generates strongly-typed models and serializers from JSON type scripts to a number of languages, including Dart. All you have to do is put in the JSON you want decoded, and it will return a prebuilt class that you can then use in your project. Quicktype have a handy website front end (https://app.quicktype.io/) for this - it worked first time and I was so grateful not to have to build this myself!

Yes, although I recently discovered Hammerspoon which is actually a clever little bit of macOS automation technology:

> Does anyone know of anything better than Make?
Xmake https://xmake.io/ for C and C++ (I haven't use that for anything serious yet) and Buck 2 https://buck2.build/ if you need a really complex build system.
