In my experience, writing Swift for the backend feels a lot like writing TypeScript, but nicer — though that’s just a personal preference. You get the performance of a compiled language like Rust (though that’s rarely a bottleneck for backe

The second example is moot since, outside the Apple ecosystem, you don't even need to know Xcode exists.

There is this belief that Swift is not really useful outside of the Apple ecosystem or is somehow clunky, and that could not be farthest from the truth. In fact, having written a few backends in Swift, I can say that the experience of writi

This is useful for testing. Currently, I need to write both the string name of the text and an identifier based on that name for the function itself. Soon I will only need to write it once. This is not much useful for much else though, and

Would you be comfortable sharing a bit about the kind of work you do? I’m asking because I mostly write iOS code in Swift, and I feel like AI hasn’t been all that helpful in that area. It tends to confidently spit out incorrect code that, e

I spent over one year being served sponsored content advertising sales of firearms, cloned credit cards and drugs. Last time I logged in, I’ve noticed that I was being served content based on interests of my close friends. For example, a cl

Worse than that. Subcutaneous fat (which is the one you can trim off with liposuction) usually expands relying more in cell expansion and not in hyperplasia. Visceral fat on the other hand, is way more likely to involve hyperplasia and you

Someone who worked on a non-English environment years ago here: sometimes you do use the local language in some contexts, but, more often than not, you end up using English for the majority of stuff since it's a bit off-putting to mix

I assume the web version has a wrapper around it that filters out what it considers harmful content (kind of what OpenAI has around ChatGPT, but much more aggressive and, of course, tailored to topics that are considered harmful in China).

This was not my experience at all. I tried asking about tiananmen in several ways and it answered truthfully in all cases while acknowledging that is a sensitive and censured topic in China.

by rcruzeiro 2y ago
Interesting. It didn't censor itself when I tried, but it did warn me it is a sensitive subject in China.

Please point out where the parent comment said that deportations were the only metric used to make that statement.

Precisely. One commenter above got close to the point but then completely missed it: they suggested that people get into “wokeism” with good intentions, such as wanting to reduce things like sexual harassment. Then, they ponder whether ther

One cool fact is that Galician sounds closer to Brazilian Portuguese. It also has much of the same vocabulary (with the notable exception of the days of the week which it borrows from the other Romance languages while Portuguese has its bor

If you paid for Parmesan cheese and got something else, I’d say that’s already a problem. We are not even taking into consideration that counterfeit food products adhere to no food safety standards.

Both ARC and garbage collection are memory management techniques. ARC does not equal garbage collection though. Garbage collection runs at intervals and is triggered by certain signals (memory pressure, etc), pauses all threads and scans fo

Are you talking about size? Because if you are, that’s not really accurate. Norway might not be huge when you compare it to an entire continent, but it’s definitely not small. Plus, it’s got way more geographical challenges than your averag

I was in a very similar situation and requested a charge back through Visa. it got denied after 2 months and AirBnb sent me a stern email saying they will ban my account if I try something like this again.
