Only integers for #defines in C-headers, enabled with a recent-ish compiler flag. Swift has a #define but it’s just an ifdef list of flags assigned to one compiler setting. But you can bridge build setting variables using some clever xccon

I agree with you about result builders, silly feature that only exists for SwiftUI. But a lot of what you said, except for the concurrency and property wrapper stuff, largely exists for Obj-C interop. The generated interface is more readab

You’re being downvoted, but there’s an interesting point you’re trying to make. Dopamine-chasing is truly selective in the behavior and chemical sense. There is a particular hard drug that I could be easily addicted to if it were cheaper an

How are any of these divergent between MacOs and iOS? You still link against the same framework, and the code is nearly identical between the two except for occasional differences in the hardware limitations. Go look at any of Apple’s sampl

Let’s have that discussion. I’m all ears. Can you name any other pair of frameworks that provide identical functionality, but they are divergent such that each framework is mutually exclusive to its target platform? And no just because the

Source? The numbers correspond to the USPS distribution centers and carrier routes. If the numbers are changing that would imply an increase in zip code subdivisions, making each zip code a better address predictor for a given individual.

If asking for the zip first was more common then we quickly learn those four extra digits because the auto fill benefits would be immediately obvious

I'm guessing the terminal role is the 64 Senior? That's nearly everyone on my team. Someone has to retire or die to get a shot at Principal.

They aren't supposed to be used simultaneously, which is literally what my comment was explaining. Different guidelines to solve different problems.

by fingerlocks 8mo ago
No, I’m not. OP is conflating multiple guidelines for different purposes and attempting to use them all simultaneously.

Nowhere does it say structs provide “one source of truth”. It says the opposite actually- that classes are to be used when unique instances are required. All classes have a unique ID, which is simply it’s virtual memory address. Structs by

If you mean true 4x4, there are none. Sprinter went AWD a few years ago. But I believe most vans on the market have an AWD option. Ford Transit and Volkswagen IDBuzz both offer AWD. Toyota’s Sienna is (only?) AWD with a silly lifted trim fo

Yeah, it’s used for dog fooding or private distribution. It’s also used on iOS side-loading and test flight builds.

OP said something confusing about the Go compiler, so I was only added clarification for that one statement . You walked by half listening to a conversation, stuck your head in the room and said something tangentially related but more conf

This only applies to distribution certificate signed apps, not true in the general sense.

by fingerlocks 9mo ago
No, sorry. That's not what I'm saying. If you compile hello-world.c into a binary then it will have a placeholder (ad-hoc) signature that was signed by an "empty" key that can never expire. The Go compiler isn't do

If you’re including these assets as UI elements, they would be rasterized anyway and copied to a GPU bound buffer for the frame blit. Doing so at compile time increases runtime performance. You can of course override this behavior and redra

This is not true company wide. I’ve personally been reprimanded for low GitHub copilot usage by my orgs leadership, not HR.

Probably using the compiler flags directly? I’ve never heard of a Bazel dependency in Swift, and precompiled c++ was a huge pain in SwiftPM a year ago. I work on ObjC++/Swift/Metal as my day job and just use a Makefile because it’

Heavy metals are a big problem, especially from cheap brass fittings common in outdoor water hoses. Indoor plumbing, by contrast, uses copper and/or plex tubing and so there’s near zero risk of metal poisoning (caveat on cheap plex fi

Disagree. This is the default in Objective-C & Swift, and it’s great. You have to explicitly annotate when discards are allowed. It’s probably my all time favorite compiler warning in terms of accidental-bugs-caught-early, because askin

Try to use an LLM to a solve a novel problem or within a domain that can’t easily be googled. It will just spew over-confident sycophantic vomit. There is no attempt to reason. It’s all worthless nonsense. It’s a fancy regurgitation machine
