Let’s parse Xcode logs?
Let’s Parse Xcode Logs?This is how it all looksIn this article, we will try to understand how and where Xcode stores its logs, what SLF0 is, how to read it, maybe even understand it, and see how it’s better and more interesting without an IDE.No extra preamble.To see the build logs of a

Photo by Brecht Denil on UnsplashI recently came across an interesting post on the r/swift subreddit that featured an example of a “Clean Code” project, which doesn’t happen all too often. I was intrigued and decided to check it out on GitHub, then proceeded to download it, set it up, and
Read moreDate sequence from the command line
I was looking back at Jeroen Janssen’s book Data Science at the Command Line and his dseq utility caught my eye. This utility prints out a sequence of dates relative to the current date. I’ve needed this and didn’t know it. Suppose you have a CSV file and you need

Image by authorBuilding an LLM or AI infrastructure in Rust can offer several benefits despite Python’s dominance in the AI space.Performance: Rust is known for its high performance and low-level control, which can be crucial for building large-scale AI systems. Language models, especially deep learning models, can be computationally intensive. Rust’s performance

Write robust and maintainable software using modern language featuresImage generated using MidjourneyIn the first two chapters, we built our testing foundation: We developed techniques to separate concerns through dependency injection and then created mock versions of our injected services.Subsequently, in Part III, we wrote our first asynchronous tests that checked whether

Image generated by OpenAI DALL.E 2Optimizing large systems is incredibly satisfying. Very few things are more exciting than seeing a large baseline shift in your metrics after a clever new algorithm is deployed. Optimization can save money, make systems easier to operate, improve developer productivity, or sometimes unlock scale that wouldn’t
