   I'm using Vapor on a new project and I really like it. The biggest stumbling block at the moment is that the Swift Package Manager can't resolve packages having dependencies on different versions of other packages. I'm usin

   I star anything that looks potentially useful when I come across it. The search function on GitHub's stars page only looks at the repo name and description, and manually looking through a few hundred starred repos is a bore, so I made

   Yep, this was my iPad after I had a broken screen replaced: http://blog.marksmith.org/too-much-security/ I had to reinstall from a backup to enable wifi so it could talk to an ntp server and sort itself out.

    I'm a big fan of Apple's descriptive and remarkably consistent APIs, but the combination does make autocomplete errors easy to make and hard to notice. For instance: - tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: - tableView:didDesel

    Why is this explicitly testing for false: if defaults.boolForKey("launchBefore") == false { rather than: if !defaults.boolForKey("launchBefore") {

    Can you explain what exactly "astonished" you about the results of your 5 minute research project?

    Seriously? There's still no way to get notified if a backup fails?

    I really hope the author adds the ability to generate log files for individual Arq backups runs. It's a great product overall, but it seems like a huge flaw to me that it's so hard to monitor the status of backups without manuall

    From Apple's tech specs, the only differences I can see between the Retina Mini and the Air is the weight and size of the screen (the resolution is the same). So the extra $100 is for bigger heavier pixels?

    This happens very, very rarely. I have more than enough fingers to count the times this has occurred since I started working here a year and a half ago. I wouldn't need a single toe, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't need both

    "Never got s response" was pretty much the story of what happened to the (not free) Atlas beta. I suspect a certain number of people were just turned off by the way that was handled. (Yes, I realize that Cappuccino is a separate project.)

    Yes, you can put an item into multiple boards (basically, top-level folders), and assign multiple tags in notes #like #this. I've been using it for a few months and my only real disappointment is the lack of an API.
