Apple clang versions don't coincide with public clang versions. Apple clang's major versions follow Xcode's. For instance, Xcode 16.1's clang is 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.4).

I don't recall them during Katrina, but that was before social media took off. Mainly I saw discussion about FEMA's effectiveness and "not caring about black people." During Obama's administration that quickly morph

Insane right wing lies have convinced them that FEMA is a paramilitary organization that is abducting people or putting them into camps. This was a common conspiracy theory starting during the Obama administration that is now built on top o

Safari allows extensions to offer multiple block lists, each at the maximum size allowed (65k entries I think). Does manifest v3 not do the same?

Has Mazda made their remote start at all useful? My Mazda can only be started, I can't set the climate or control the seat or steering wheel heating. Some settings can be set before the car is turned off, if you remember, but some rese

Regardless of codecs, don't all Bluetooth headsets switch to mono I/O when the microphone connects? I find that to be a much bigger quality hit than the encoding.

It fully makes things up, like nonexistent parameters to real functions. In the areas where it's accurate it's barely better than the existing autocomplete, though I have noticed it seems to deal a bit better with broken code (whi

If you're on macOS, Apple's docs are best viewed through Dash. While it can't overcome the documentation's fundamental lack of visibility into inherited API, its search and presentation are fantastic. If you're not

It requires explicit backend support, and Apple supports it for many of their services, but I've never seen another public API that does. Anyone have any examples?

I think it's the "first to connect" logic between IPv4 and IPv6. Saw an article recently that said when the address being connected to has both addresses, hosts doesn't work unless you map both there, otherwise the unmap

Odd. It's not mentioned but URLSession should handle this automatically when downloading the same resource.

Yeah, Nixon should've ordered his secretary to do it, as all executive communications are now protected against criminal investigation.

Corrupt admins will already do that, so giving blanket immunity doesn't actually help anyone. All they need to then corruptly prosecute anyone is a court to agree that some act was "unofficial".

No other iOS browser engines have been approved, or even exist at this point. Probably won't see any real alternative browsers in the EU until they finish the rumored WebBrowserKit or whatever, to help contain JIT services.

They're kinda sorta starting down this path, as they announced a new GitHub org (swiftlang) this week, which will eventually be the home of Swift and all its related libraries, including the rewritten Foundation. This should allow outs

No cast, just a conversion, depending on how you want the math to work. int * double would usually be Double(int) * double.

No, this is just the typical Apple cycle I alluded too. Improvements are saved up for WWDC, previewed, then regress over the next year as other work is done, only for the process to repeat. They've demonstrated small improvements pract

Or just use 1.0, which can only be a Float literal.

They never will, since it's also one of Swift's greatest strengths. What they may, eventually, do is dedicate the resources to minimize the negative aspects of the system while documenting clear ways to mitigate the biggest issues

In this case, a language that doesn't support automatic numeric type conversions. For instance, in Swift, 1 / FRAMERATE would give you integer division if FRAMERATE was an Int, or Double/Float division if FRAMERATE was a floa

It's not that Xcode's UI is great, it's just that the others are so bad. Xcode usually stays away from the unlabeled button mess that IntelliJ IDEs have become and is overall more Mac native. Of course, some of that is that i

No Apple tools generate JPEG XL by default. You can, of course, export as jxl on newer OSes, since it's built in, but it's not a default. iOS devices still use HEIC as the default "new" image format, but convert to regul

Xcode's UI is miles better than the IntelliJ suite, or any other IDE I've used, but functionally it's a decade behind them, especially with Swift. Its autocomplete is extremely basic, its debugger barely works with Swift, and

No optimism, simply facts based on the lack of APIs for accessing any of this data. Since this is just a preannouncement (APIs will come at WWDC next month), we can't tell yet, but Apple's previous system attention tracking was ne

Completely different goals. Mojo seeks to replace / supplement Python in the compute space, Hylo (Val) is an experiment in a value-first semantic language, inspired by Swift.

By spec all JSON must be UTF-8. Anyone adding encodings to application/json is, at best, redundant.

Codable fundamentally limits the maximum performance of any encoding or decoding, no matter how fast your parser is. If you need faster performance you need to use a completely different solution.
