Do you know why it's called sink?
It's a common term in math and engineering that refers to end location of anything that flows (water, data, etc.).
Source is where the flow starts and sink is where the flow ends.
In Combine, stream flows towards .sink(receiveValue:).

Did you know that instead of typing your function's signature manually, you can copy it directly from Xcode? Comes particularly useful when writing technical documentation or articles:
Put the cursor over your function and press:
`Shift-Control-Option-Command-C`
and voila!

Calling all SwiftUI experts. I'm trying to accomplish a UI design on the right. I've been using LazyVGrid, but it seems to align all items to the left. I'd like to have the adaptive grid, but have all items centered. Any way to accomplish this?

Three years ago we embarked on the biggest adventure in our lives. To live and work in Canada. It sounded scary, to move away from family, to move away from the well-known, 7000 km far away.
We took the opportunity.

I'm really trying to be nice and respond nicely to everyone that DMs me, but I'm going to start to ignore and block people.
Messaging me with "hi", waiting for me to respond and if I don't in a few hours being passive aggressive and sending "where are you, are you there?" 🤨
