I don't care how good of a programmer you are, if you don't know Apple stuff (Swift, Xcode, all the random iOS/Mac app BS) you aren't making an Apple app in a weekend. Learning things is easy but still takes time, and pr

This doesn't really work for things that are already words like it's/its. I type the one i want, iOS “corrects” it to the wrong one, and even after I tap the one I typed in the prediction bar? iOS still inserts its own sugges

The three Fn* types correspond to the three ways you can refer to a value: &T, &mut T, T. Fn captures its environment by shared reference, FnMut by exclusive reference, and FnOnce by value, and everything flows from that. Calling a

If I'm not mistaken, the Photos app stores originals on disk and then uses a sqlite database to track metadata (and maybe edits to photos as well, given that it has the originals). Seems reasonable to me.

To those who are interested in viewing the “shape” of weather data (and who are using an apple device), I cannot recommend https://www.weatherstrip.app enough. I think its visualization is even superior to Dark Sky’s, mostly by

A reasonable format would not insist you lay out tables visually any more than it would insist you center your headers if you'd like them horizontally centered when rendered. For instance, Asciidoctor has syntax for table cells that re

Steak’s not great for you, but in moderation is probably a better source of calories than refined grains, which should be treated more or less the same as candy.

As long as the compiler is new enough to handle 2024 code (i.e., you're not using a 2021 version of the compiler itself), 2021 code can use 2024 code.

In theory, the problems highlighted in the article would have become apparent shortly into the process of assigning an icon to every menu item. Forging ahead despite the impossibility of doing a good job on the task is a sign of orders bein

Is the following accurate? “If a type has a generic bound T: ?Sized, then its data lives on the heap.” (Except for &T because it's the one type that doesn't take ownership of its T upon construction.)

Try blocks let you encapsulate the early-return behavior of Try-returning operations so that they don't leak through to the surrounding function. This lets you use the ? operator 1. when the Try type doesn't match that of the func

You can also de-mut-ify a variable by simply shadowing it with an immutable version of itself: let mut data = foo(); data.mutate(); let data = data; May be preferable for short snippets where adding braces, the yielded expression, and inden

Would it be possible for messenger apps to simply ignore <script> tags (and accept that this will break a small fraction of SVGs)? Or is that not a sufficient defense?

Safari supports base64-embedding font files in a <style>’s @font-face {} (iirc it's something like `@font-face { src: url('data:application/x-font-woff;charset=utf-8;base64,...'); }`) that can then be referenced as

How well can LLMs reason about avoiding UB? This seems like one of those things where no matter how much code you look at, you can still easily get wrong (as humans frequently do).
