   I'd imagine it's not easy to render the text out into Times without UIKit or equivalent? Pretty cool that it has that built in, though.

   I did the same thing once for a dialog box on an iPhone app. The check would fail instantly if the phone was offline. It didn't feel "right" and we didn't really have the time to change the UX so I just added a random de

   I found the same thing, in Ruby -> was split up, while in Swift it was fine.

    I'm finding it works fine in OS X's Terminal.app and (by extension) emacs and vim (El Capitan 10.11).

    I just want to say I recently fired up an old ThinkPad from 1999 and man, pixels were big back then. I opened up Word '98 and started typing and those big, pixelated, non-antialiased Times New Roman letters looked fantastic on that

    Wow, it's crazy to see just how little CoreAudio code you actually need to get up and running - I was always intimidated by this and have always resorted to frameworks (first TheAmazingAudioEngine [1], now AudioKit [2]) in the past. Ha

    I found this tutorial somewhat more cogent than most of the previous literature... I don't mean to be a dick but did Curtis write this one or someone else?

    There may not necessarily be any 'tricking' going on, perhaps our hypothetical oil company started prospecting under one government and there's been an election/regime change since then... And I guess if the other countr

    Call me socialist but I actually kinda like the idea that my country can just nationalise whatever if we just so feel like it. Sure, it would ruin our reputation, but I like to think sovereignty means something, right? I tell you what, if I

    There used to be this great video online, 'Three hours of MTV from 1983' [1]. It began with the VJ giving away t-shirts to promote the new Police album, Synchronicity. Looks like it went down when Youtube ate Google Video. [1] ht

    "a string can be slack in many ways, but taut in only one" 0 is true, everything else is false. At least that's my intuition.

    You would think with all the posts about East Germany on here lately people would recognise this. Edit: playing devil's advocate, you could almost argue that the surveillance system in the UK is at least a lot better than that of Air

    It's worth remembering that most people who work in customer service have been around the block so many times they hate the people they have to deal with by default. Most folks I know who work in retail or the hospitality industry will
