I gamed AR in the early '90s when it was much simpler. I was in elementary school, and they counted a book as a certain number of pages read (as certified by a parent), the multiple of which increased as you grade number increased. So

I really need a good explanation for the assertion about corporate taxes, as it makes no real sense. Frankly, it sounds like corporate propaganda.

They won't do it, as they hate anything more than a minimal testing matrix, but it would be nice if, when the Intel versions of the system frameworks are fully removed, Rosetta 2 could be updated to include them as a downloadable compo

That hasn't been true in like 10 years. You can check the process hierarchy yourself in Activity Monitor and see its many processes, including one for each loaded site. It also uses separate processes for sandbox access, image decoding

None, if you stick to using the bits from swift-foundation instead of swift-corelibs-foundation. Confusing, but the new code is much better, and in production on Apple's platforms as well.

Yeah, the feature is mostly about test cases and macro generated code. The numeric property names are far less useful, as the good syntax requires tick marks: .`404`

Orthogonal? Odd thing to say given Swift's evolution and release timeline are entirely constrained by Apple's OS release schedule. We're currently going through the spike in evolution proposals by Apple engineers in preparati

Mac OS X Internals by Singh is one of my favorite books, such a great in depth examination of Mac OS X circa 10.4. I really wish there was an updated version. Edit: I see it's even cited at the end of this article. Truly a source for t

That's the point, test the will of the people by "accidentally", though completely predictably, sending citizens to El Salvador for literally nothing, then move on to the admin's real enemies if the outcry isn't lou

Nearly all, since they removed the NS prefix from most types imported into Swift years ago. ;)

In modern UIKit it's as simple as constraining to the keyboard layout guide. That gives you full animation support for free as well, no more need to listen for the notification and manually set up animations with the same timing and cu

The Wrights actually found that Lilienthal's glider data, especially the specifics about airfoil design, was terribly inaccurate (the closer they got to replicating his designs, the worse their gliders performed). It was only after the

Took another look at this and it looks like you can set a profile to use for a site in the website settings, Open Links With Profile settings. You have to visit first, but it does seem to work. Unfortunately still limited to a whole new win

You can create profiles, but as I understand it, Firefox containers allow you to scope profile-like containment to specific websites, which is not possible with Safari containers. In fact, I abandoned my look at Safari profiles because you

As a simple driver of cars, I've never understood why no one has mass produced an EV with a built-in generator. That would avoid the complexity of the hybrid drive train, allow easy plugin and short range electric-only travel, and coul

Since they dropped the old web extension support perhaps 10(?) years ago, the new extension system has only grown new capabilities. They even added the ability to dynamically execute JS, which is what enabled these blockers to do things lik

That would be none, as it was the FBI, operating independently (as it's supposed to), which tried to force the issue. They even tried to go to Congress but found little support for their stunt. I'm not even sure Obama ever spoke i

Isn't that the free period Apple gives you for purchasing a new device? That's different than the actual free trial in app purchases normal apps get. I think they gave you four months of the service as a specific purchase. Third p

No network namespaces, but the various Network Extension APIs might be able to do this, though it's difficult. RocketSim (I'm unaffiliated, just an example) recently added a simulator-specific network throttle (to replace the syst

Any app can, provided they build a menu item. Most apps don't, and those that do don't usually connect the presentation of the menu to an action in the app, it just runs alongside the app (e.g. Kaleidoscope). But you could do that

That follows your system setting for the back gesture (mouse clicks immediately go back). If you use "Swipe Left or Right with Two Fingers" for the "Swipe between pages" setting, there is no animation. If you don't

Apple specifically compiles OpenMP support out of their builds of clang, so that's never been an easy solution on macOS. Even worse if you want to run on other Apple platforms where an external compiler can't be used.

Apple Weather is still missing some of the data that Dark Sky exposed, like cloud coverage percentage and other niche info. I also find the UX a little worse, as I like more data at a glance. But you can tell they're using the Dark Sky

Yeah, we saw exactly this across the executive branch the last time this guy was in power. Intentionally corrupt or feckless appointees who blocked or simply failed to approve any action on the part of the agencies they nominally ran. What
