Actually quite well. The fact that it's drag & drop is pretty irrelevant, except in that it's not something the interviewee has likely done before because it's not a very common thing to interrupt. What's more import

Admittedly you do lose the convenience methods from UIPanGestureRecognizer (sure would be nice if Apple would add them to UILongPressGestureRecognizer too), but you can recover translation just by grabbing the location of the recognizer in

Doesn't Multipath TCP already exist as a solution for this?

Every previous instance of this particular scam I've seen mentioned before used a password that the recipient recognized. I personally received this exact email just the other day, containing a password that I confirmed I actually used

Note how this email includes a password. This particular form of scam relies on taking weak passwords acquired from database dumps and sending the scam email to the password owner, in the hopes that they'll recognize the password and t

FWIW I just filed a bug report with Apple requesting that Files support USB mass storage drives (rdar://problem/45899522). If you want to see this supported, I suggest you file your own report requesting this.

The fact that iOS does not have support for generic storage devices has nothing to do with MFi. I do not understand why you think it does. It has everything to do with the fact that iOS simply never implemented support for them. Prior to th

Maybe it's trying to be funny, but this article is the stupidest take on this issue that I've seen.

Apple's SD card reader is a Lightning accessory. Of course it has MFi. But you can plug a generic USB SD card reader in to your iPad using Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and that works just fine, even though the generic

Agreed. About the only thing I do on top of it is add some operators for setting up AutoLayout, so I can write code like NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ label.topAnchor ≈ view.topAnchor, label.leadingAnchor ≈ view.leadingAncho

This is not an issue with the split implementation. Split is behaving correctly (according to the defined semantics of String). You'd get the exact same issue if you said str.index(of: ",") instead; in both cases, the ",

This is why I said "without quotes". The same issue happens if you write a parsing routine that handles quotes too of course, it was just a lot simpler to demonstrate it with a single split() line than a whole parsing loop.

CSV is a machine-readable format. I've never heard of a machine-readable format that treats combining characters as significant when parsing syntax. Certainly the CSV format doesn't. Trivial proof: If it did, then it would be lite

by eridius 8y ago
Unfortunately, since Swift's String implementation operates on grapheme clusters by default, a lot of parsing code people write is actually subtly broken in the presence of combining characters. As a trivial example, let's say the

No it doesn't. await doesn't make asynchronous functions synchronous. It just changes how you write the code, not how the code itself works. Notably, await can only be used from inside an async function.

MFi covers Apple's proprietary connectors, as well as certain Apple wireless protocols. It does not cover generic USB. If you want more proof, every since the iPad came out Apple has actually sold a USB-A port for the iPad, called a &q

"they're likely locking down non MFI certified accessories" is not a fact. It's speculation. And the list of MFi licensed technologies does not include USB. So unless you're tunneling one of the existing MFi license

Xcode has handled this for years. In Xcode, when autocompletion is presented, hitting Tab will complete the longest unique prefixed subword for the currently-selected tab item. If this results in only having one completion option left, then

So it sounds like the role worked primarily with Java? I guess I can see why IT for 6 years plus 3 years as a JS dev wouldn't really prepare you for that and why, as a result, you would get slotted into an SDE1 role (hopefully with the

~~Correct, L4 is the same thing as SDE2.~~ EDIT: I completely screwed that up. L4–L6 map to SDE1–SDE3.

This code has a significant and common flaw: If the token is cached, it invokes the handler synchronously. You should never design a function with a completion handler that sometimes invokes it synchronously and sometimes asynchronously. Th

Most of what you describe sounds like applications that don't bother to use unicode-aware string manipulation routines, period, rather than applications that use buggy unicode handling.

FWIW the C++ standard actually prohibits CoW strings, and any C++ standard library that implements CoW strings is doing so in defiance of the standard. AIUI this prohibition was completely accidental, and I believe it's due to the rule
