CocoaPods, an open-source dependency manager used in over three million applications coded in Swift and Objective-C, left thousands of packages exposed and ready for takeover for nearly a decade – thereby creating opportunities for supply chain attacks on iOS and macOS apps, according to security researchers. You're using the dependencies wrong (or something like that)
At least a bit of good news, "EVA's researchers wrote that they haven't seen evidence of this mess having been exploited." Of course, with so many targets, I can't imagine they've looked at all of them to see if they're being attacked.

AI-assisted development is now the norm - 78% of survey respondents currently use AI in software development or plan to in the next two years, up from 64% in 2023. That's strange, measuring developer productivity has always been so easy in the past

My internal metric is always "Plaid." Not that hard to measure.

I'm a bit cynical about it.
My bias notwithstanding, isn't a Gitlabs based survey a bit pre-disposed to being lopsided here?
It might not be where all the folks using AI are, but it's near certain to be where all the folks doing anything with making/using it really heavy would be?

And it probably still not fast enough for management.

In modern software development, immutability is a powerful concept. "I can't change, I can't change. But I'm here in my mold."

How would you use immutable collection in thread safe scenario?
The creating a new instance of the collection (presumably - it says it works like string)... but in the thread safe scenarios I may have dealt with, it's been that I wanted to have a single shared collection across those thread instances.
Maybe I misunderstand how it works and that's just 'taken care of' with a locking object and a 'root collection' under the hood?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes and no. For mutable objects the locking has to occur at runtime. If, however, you tell the compiler that the object is immutable it can skip outputting the locking code and assume there won't be changes to the object at runtime. Locking is an expensive operation.
|
|
|
|
|
So it's more like it can grow the collection without locking anything because it knows everything is new and immutable.
