I hacked together a quick reproduction of this since the author didn't provide any working code. I don't really know Swift and my Objective-C skills are pretty rusty at the moment, but it compiles and show similar performance char

It may not be the point of the example but it's mentioned explicitly by the article's author as a feature. Doesn't that make allocations in the example fair to comment on?

I have a good grasp of git CLI but bugger all understanding of it's internals, so you certainly don't need to know. It seems fairly likely that what is considered a reasonable interface or a bad interface has a high level of sub

Found some interesting statistics on this site: http://www.iresearchchina.com/views/5604.html I suspect to get anything more detailed you may have to purchase a paid report from one of the various analytics companies.

I would be quite surprised if most App Store games were created with Unity - it's expensive and (comparatively) cumbersome to develop in, especially if you're just using 2D graphics (even with the fancy new Unity2D stuff). I can&#

C# is hideous to get running consistently (if at all) with recent versions and libraries cross platform. Perhaps this will change in the future, but they've not been particularly brilliant about it over the past decade

Are there many apps written in Unity? Or is it only games?

You really don't want things made substantially of glass when you have to hold them at arms length and bash them around nooks and crannies :) One of the nice things about Dyson vacuum cleaners is that you can take most of the important

It appears to be from https://trustly.com/en/ so perhaps they use it internally and are open sourcing it.

I find using subtrees much easier than submodules - http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/05/alternatives-to-git-submo... The command line is a little obscure (at least, I can never remember the command to pull the late

Not started by the US Navy but started by US Naval Research Labs instead? Is there any practical difference except where it appears on a military budget sheet? :) If you ignore some of the drama, Pando has a very long and fairly comprehensi

Really? It's wrong? By what measure? It's certainly not illegal to manipulate online polls. In fact, I personally find it quite amusing to do so, in certain cases. Do you agree? [ ] Yes [ ] No

No, definitely not. I was partially ranting :) I couldn't find a recording of any talks he gave, only the slides, so he may have covered that in those.

His work on security in iOS is quite interesting, but he seems determined to spin everything for maximum publicity rather than, well, accuracy or truth, which is a shame. For example, on that blog post he writes about pcapd and developers:

The devices have to be paired though (with the trusted computer thing), and to complete that pairing process you need to unlock your phone with the passcode, if it is locked. If it's unlocked you just have to poke a dialog button, but

To be fair though, hasn't everyone who has started playing with HTTP in code manipulated online polls at some point just to learn? Does anyone actually put any weight in online polls other than linkbait headline sites?
