That only happens with major OS releases. Or the inverse, where the version of Xcode requires the next major version of macOS. We should see that in March with Xcode 14.3 or 14.4.

Using the USB-C connector doesn't guarantee high speed connectivity. Technically that connector can fall all the way back to USB 1 speeds. Hopefully we'll see higher speeds, but Apple never put their higher speed Lightning ports o

I don't know why this is downvoted, it's true. There is no automatic copy on write optimization in Swift. It's a manual optimization that expensive types like Array implement manually.

Or 0, given not using dynamic dispatch allows for inlining or even the compiler optimizing the call away entirely.

You either need main.swift, in which case you get global execution, or another file with a type marked `@main`, which encapsulates the main execution (and enables async support).

Jobs didn't want apps at all but he was eventually convinced they were needed, late in the iPhone development cycle. So rather than announce the native tools early (they wouldn't ship for another year) they tried to sell web apps

It also produces an error on all Apple platforms, as it's banned by URLSession.

GHA has macOS runners but they're persistently 9 - 12 months behind macOS versions, making it difficult to keep using them when Apple starts requiring the latest OS version for Xcode. Luckily self-hosting is pretty easy, if you have th

You can't even get over 2TB unless you subscribe to Apple One and even then you only get another 2TB. Pretty useless as a large scale backup service if the maximum you can ever pay them for is 4TB.

Suggested? It's required, otherwise behavior is undefined for many APIs. And with the main thread checker you now also get runtime issues when you access such APIs. It's more shocking to me that Apple hasn't explicitly shifte

It's really a Safari 16.1 feature, and 16.1 was released with Ventura, so I guess they're capitalizing on that publicity to drive the feature.

You're thinking of HTTP/2. The QUIC protocol that underlies HTTP/3 requires SSL all the time.

As sibling alluded to, they don't want to pay the per device royalty percentage, especially on high price devices like a MacBook Pro.

Do you have a good tutorial or intro for ARM64 or Apple Silicon assembly? I'd like to learn but the books I have are all for MIPS, and the online resources are hit or miss.

I don't think it was a mistake; they intentionally shipped the 5.7 compiler toolchain with on the current OS standard library (5.6). They just don't have the automated testing to catch stuff like this.

It could have access, but so far all of these articles calling Apple out haven't cited a single shred of evidence that Apple has replaced the previous invasive fingerprinting by third parties with their own. If nothing else, the qualit

I've seen this too but not in a while. I'm hoping they can combine their bot detection token attestation feature with Warp to guarantee my real traffic is separated from bot traffic before it leaves their network.

Yes, they maintain prioritized links between their datacenters, many of which are fully private. However, the Warp free plan simply bounces to the nearest CF datacenter which participates in Warp (not all of their centers do) and then back

swift-async-algorithms can be used in earlier versions of Xcode if you checkout an earlier tag. They just moved forward more quickly. Async / await's backport no longer causes crashes in Xcode 13.4, but it does have the downside o

Apple originally intended to require NSSecureCoding in some way after it was introduced in macOS 10.8 (2012) but constantly delayed those plans due to the compatibility issues sibling mentioned.

by jshier 4y ago
NSSecureCoding is so old at this point (macOS 10.8, 2012) that anyone still writing Obj-C who hasn't adopted it is essentially committing malpractice.

How do you prevent it from automatically updating to the Intel version? I keep downloading the preview builds and they keep getting updated.
