Yeah, good point. I actually started to do that, but on further inspection the library did some other questionable things too - and didn't accomplish the primary purpose very well. The whole thing seemed to be more of a 'check a b

A few days ago I downloaded a third party iOS library, written in Obj-C. It was provided as part of a paid cloud API service. After integrating it, I was amazed (horrified?) to find that the whole library had been implemented without class

Exactly this. Apple is building this feature for the average user. If they presented a screen too different from normal, most people would turn it off, thinking that it looks ugly - precisely the opposite of what they want.

Good news - it does. For me, it fixed a lot of bugs that I had no idea existed. Seems like a pretty easy mistake to make, since third party libraries I use were littered with exactly the same mistake.

A week or two ago I updated a fairly large project to 3.1. Not as painful as the 3.0 upgrade by any means, but there were still a fair few warnings about features that will be deprecated in future releases. Dropping support for the initiali

I've been running the beta for a few weeks now. The thing that stands out the most? They changed the filesystem, and I haven't noticed a thing - the upgrade time wasn't even significantly longer. If anything, the beta has bee

New Zealander here. Out of all the problems a country could have, 'too many tourists' seems like an awfully good one. I'm sure it's more complicated than this, but from a naive perspective, putting a higher tax on touris

Nice. At an old job, I got a little bored, so I'd spend time crafting wonderful commit messages. Most of them contained puns, some very subtle, some less so. In regards to commit ethos, I'm not sure I agree with all of the stateme

I developed in Objective C for years. Have been on the Swift boat for a while now, and not long ago I did some maintenance on an old Obj C project. Even allowing for the re-learning time and rustiness, there was such a sharp contrast. Swift

As an indie developer that has a lot invested in the App Store - this is really, really, great. It doesn't matter how much effort you put into making an app that is polished, well thought out, and one of the best out there - there wil

I understand what you're getting at, but as someone else commented the new profile could be the real user, and the pre-existing profile a fake. Perhaps machine learning would be able to identify fake accounts with a higher degree of ce

Wait... if the neural net can design other neural nets, can it be taught to design itself?

I also use Swift for large projects (many modules, lines of code, complex generics etc). Yes, Swift and Xcode are far from perfect. But the fluent language, and the tools that Xcode provides far outweigh any stability issues I've run i
