For all of its strengths and overall convenience, one downside of Swift’s built-in Codable API is that it doesn’t really offer any standard way to change or otherwise customize how a given type should be encoded or decoded.

While async/await is very likely […]
I recently watched a documentary about Bill Gates on Netflix and the thing that stuck with me the most from it was that he didn’t become one of the wealthiest people in the world through luck or inheriting huge sums of money.

New in Swift 5.5: The compiler can now automatically perform conversions between Double and CGFloat values. Although the two have always been equivalent on 64-bit systems, before Swift 5.5 (which is currently in beta as part of Xcode 13), we had to manually convert between them in order to satisfy Swift’s type system — since […]
