Yeah `self.` is implicit. In Swift: struct S { var string: String func doSomething() { // These two lines are equivalent. print(string) print(self.string) } }

They do if you want an interface that's similar but scaled up. Alien Blue for iPad was different though in that you had multiple columns open at once, which probably did require more dev time to handle. I'm thinking they wanted a

But that's kinda the thing; how do you end up finding out about them? Unlike buttons which appear on-screen, 3D touch interfaces aren't immediately visible and require special onboarding, which isn't always great even with co

The page is comically broken in Firefox, which is weird since usually Apple's product pages are fine. iPad images don't have transparent backgrounds so they show up with white boxes around them. http://i.imgur.com/

I wouldn't say 3D touch is entirely a bad feature. I agree with the argument that 3D touch features are usually hard to discover (took me a while to realize you could press the keyboard to get a "trackpad"). Some of the featu

It's seriously so cool that the Homebrew guy (Max Howell) is behind this. Great fit for him at Apple. =P

On (newer versions of) iOS, you don't need to send someone to, say, yelp://rest_of_url to link them to the app anymore. In iOS 9 we have Universal App Links[0] that let you perform a redirect from an actual website link into

You're close enough to being "on-stream" with at least half of your starting class. The bulk of your co-op schedule will be alternating between 4-month school and work terms, and you'll generally align close to the engin

"...If Retina desktop Macs still haven’t been announced by the time you read this, Apple had better hurry up." Near the bottom of page 3, just thought it was funny considering today's 5K iMac announcement.

The level itself seems to scroll while I move with the arrow keys. Bug? Also, given the outcome of the HTML5 Mario[1], I have my doubts this will stay up long. Pretty cool though! 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2796

There's a fantastic, in-depth article on Unicode and NSString (the default string class in Objective-C) that was published a couple days ago, which covered a lot of the same material but from an Objective-C standpoint instead. http:&#

I'm actually kind of sad they're moving away from "square" tabs, as that was one of the design choices they've made that I always really liked. I'm hoping they'll provide an option in the new release, or at least that there will be an add-o

On my Retina monitor (Firefox Nightly), I see a pear but also the apple, though very faintly. Saving to the desktop gets me an apple, as expected.
