That being said: FSKit is a userspace API. In that respect, it's a lot better than filesystem code running in the kernel - it can't crash your computer or corrupt data on other filesystems, and it's much more tightly sandboxe

Not this kind of disk image. ASIF is a read-write disk image; an OS update would be distributed in a read-only image (if it is indeed a disk image).

A filesystem is not a file. (Yes, you can store a filesystem in a file - and that's a trivial sort of disk image, but one with some serious drawbacks like "you have to allocate all of the space up front". We can do better.)

Is it actually supported and usable now? I seem to recall it spending a lot of time in a "half-documented and not actually available" state.

No. Disk images aren't involved in the OS update process.

This set of symbols has some interesting properties which allow for this solution: func symbolHash(c byte) byte { x := (c - 1) >> 5 y := int(c) + 0x1b150000>>(x<<3) return byte(y & 31)

There are limits on how much traffic can pass in and out of the boundaries of an eruv. I suspect that's why it avoids high-traffic areas like Times Square, as well as the area around Turtle Bay.

It's a bit more than that. The list of X coordinates is cumulative - once an X coordinate has been marked as an inversion, it continues to be treated as an inversion on all Y coordinates below that, not just until the next Y coordinate

Caddies were fairly common in early CD-ROM drives. Tray-loading (and, even later, slot-loading) drives were a later development. One theory I've seen is that caddies were developed in part to protect valuable data CDs from accidental d

That's not quite how I read the story. Jobs didn't ask Atkinson if he remembered regions - Atkinson brought it up.

The QuickDraw source code refers to the contents of the Region structure as an "unpacked array of sorted inversion points". It's a little short on details, but you can sort of get a sense of how it works by looking at the imp

Honestly, I can understand the decision. "Jihad" is technically the correct term, but it carries so many negative connotations in the West that using it would be a distraction.

The answer to that question is "probably not". First: the image recognition model is unlikely to have seen very many depth maps. Seeing one alongside a photo probably won't help it recognize the image any better. Second: even

Quite frankly, this isn't even that large. There are entire books about topics like JNI (Java <-> C) or Swig (Python <-> C); this page is fairly short given the broad scope of Swift's C++ integration.
