"the Olympics have come, and they didn't know it." It's even worse than that. They know it. They just don't care.

I noticed that too. The tools principle dovetails with "Use a superior development system". Infocom's game building tool (the ZIL compiler) was originally a PDP-10 program. LucasArts developed many games using the SCUMM suite

Dave Taylor (ddt) and I and another friend had some Q's on our college transcripts (from dropping classes after the tuition refund deadline). We joked that we should have a fraternity for losers like us. We called it delta q delta. Dav

gcc and clang generate SSE2 instructions for scalar (non-SIMD) arithmetic, depending on the target architecture and compiler flags. For x86_64 targets, the calling convention puts floating point arguments in xmm registers, so the compilers

If you don't have to work from home, pair programming or just working next to someone with an agreement to keep each other honest could help a lot. Also (again if you're in an office with others), put your back to the door so pass

Almost all Objective-C APIs can be accessed from Swift. (The one exception I know of is that a type which is a class with protocol conformances, e.g. `UIViewController<UIPickerViewDataSource>`, cannot be represented exactly in Swift.

You could pre compile the script with osacompile if you want, but I wouldn't bother. I think checking the command runtime would be a mistake. If you expect the command to take a long time, and it finished in just a second or two, you p

Strange that Apple didn't publish it on https://github.com/apple (which holds all of their open Swift repos). Also, to clarify, ANS is relatively new (2009) but arithmetic coding has been around for a long time. Histor

The stuff announced last week is mainly of interest to developers, not end users. Most of what was in the keynote was for end users. That said, I'd be surprised if they couldn't fit last week's stuff into the Platforms State

To be fair (regarding "closed tech"), Apple was hardly the only one to release a propriety Vulkan alternative (there's also Mantle and DX12) and Apple released Metal to developers almost two years before Vulkan 1.0 was releas

You can buy a SQLite license if you really want one: https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html at which point you are free to ignore the blessing.

That it can be done on a Raspberry Pi using the Pi camera is of interest, because cheap small hardware makes it feasible to buy and install hardware dedicated to the task.

That is very cool! Have you thought about tiling along road /river edges to hide the seams?

I also listened to this episode recently. Two questions I wish they'd asked: - What are drh's thoughts on the WebSQL kerfuffle? - What is the future of sqlite4?

Since both Visual Studio and Xcode support C++, why not just run the C++ version on all platforms?

I can see this reasoning being right on the money, if you can be happy building web apps. Personally, I find that developing with web technologies is a miserable experience, and developing with iOS native technologies is a joy. YMMV.

If you can target iOS 9 (or later), `UIStackView` eliminates a lot of the need for handcrafted constraints. Also, the project's example “Native Autolayout” code is written in a gratuitously verbose style.

It's an interesting-looking font. I wish they would show samples of its zero. I really like Input, which is free (as opposed to Operator which is $199) and has several nice options for alternate letterforms, including three different z

The desktop app contains lots of Objective-C and Swift code. You can check it using `otool -o` on the binary to dump the __OBJC segment, or by opening it in Hopper.

Curious as to why this site shows a “Registered domain / Geregistreerd domein” page and no content when cookies are disabled. What is it about this page that cries out for persistent client-side storage?

Keep in mind that the cheapest 5K iMac is in the same price range as standalone 5K monitors. So you might as well use the iMac unless you can get a 5K monitor at a pretty steep discount.
