Not sure how that would help. SVGs aren't natively handled on iOS. They get rasterized during build time and that's what gets shipped with an app.

Frameworks from other companies. A lot of it is analytics/tracking, some payment processing, etc. There are a few open source libraries we're using as well but those probably are <5mb if I had to guess although I never checked.

You can access iCloud from an iOS app, it has its own public framework called CloudKit, so you could create your own version of it. If you don't like that example Chrome and Edge are both forced to use WebKit on iOS but are still much

You can though because a lot of those things you're talking about are available for any app. Sure Apple does have some private frameworks and what not that aren't available to everyone but I imagine if you wanted to recreate what

Part of it is resolution. The icons and such in apps are much larger now than they were in 2013. Besides that I mentioned this in another thread but rarely will a team clean up after itself. There's probably tons of dead code and what

It is dependencies but not from the GUI. As someone who has worked on several very large apps I can tell you 99% of the bloat is garbage. Someone somewhere wants this SDK from their friend's company in the app. Some manager wants to tr

The first one you can configure and it is the default way you'd see this done in real life. You can add headers, change the request type, etc. Likely, if you were making an actual app the request configuration would be much longer than

In a sense it is telling someone else that yes, but more importantly, it is telling the compiler. I am not sure what the alternative is here, is this not common in other languages? I know Java does this at least. In Python it is hidden and

As someone who has been coding production Swift since 1.0 the Go example is a lot more what Swift in practice will look like. I suppose there are advantages to being able to only show the important parts. The first line won't crash but

What is the problem with that though? I honestly wish they moved the async key word to the front `async func ...` but given the relative newness of all of this I've yet to see anyone get confused by this. The compiler also ensures ever

I played Might and Magic as a child but I never knew about this series nor have I ever played it. I also don't know anyone who has either now that you mention it.

So it is up to me to monitor your child? I don't work in porn or an even remotely related field but I have to implement age verification now because of Texas's law. Someone explain to me how this is protecting any children.

It is unique because everything is quantized. I've never used these tools but I am assuming you could give it some level of randomness but as someone who has performed and recorded a non-quantized performance is not random. So sure, it

It is pretty rough but as someone who has been programming in Swift since 1.0 I can say it rarely happens in practice. In the early days it happened all the time where the compiler would trip up on random expressions. I can still get it to

For your first question, yes, it can be optionally turned on and set to a specific value. In the early days of Swift it was quite useful. I still have it on in one project but it rarely shows up anymore and when it does it is usually a myst

Not quite. I have had a lot of musical training and have a very good musical memory. I can write down songs from my head or hear a song and write it down later, depending on how complicated it is, usually with only 1-2 listens, or play it b

I agree with the other person about singing. If you're any good at recognizing intervals already singing will really make it all click. Taking a few singing lessons would probably really help you even though it seems somewhat unrelated

I agree with your last point. I get the criticism of Duolingo and it is fair, but I can't agree that it is completely useless. I learned/am learning French. I can get by with non-English speakers and people won't immediately

Some will, you just have to pay an extra fee when you buy the ticket. It is ridiculous.

It's likely not like this everywhere but I've become a regular at a few places over my life time and asked about this. At least where I've been, it is actually all tracked. Generally, at least at bars, the people coming in an

This is more or less how it worked in the small town where I grew up in the US as well. At night, almost all the lights would flash yellow from around 1AM til 6AM? I think. It's been a long time since I lived there.

There's still software I can't run on an iPad which is basically the only reason I have a MacBook Air. Maybe for some a windowing system may be the push to switch but that seems doubtful to me.

Is that last one actually Garage Band? I used to use it a very long time ago and I don't remember it ever looking like that. It does, however, look basically the same as Logic does today. I'm not sure if I'd consider it a goo

How old is your paperwhite? I upgraded mine around the same time of the post you're replying to with roughly the same length inbetween. The difference in page turn between the two devices is night and day. The new ones are insanely fas

There are definitely other ways to derive all this but with a quick glance you don't really need to do any computation involving intervals. The key is either the second to last flat, a half step up from the last sharp, C, or F. To me t

> I was not learning to name the key signatures It was mentioned the person was trying to memorize all these with anki or something. There's actually no need. You only need to memorize 2 key signatures and the rest follow a pattern.

This is the first thing I noticed when I saw a sample of music. How useful could sight reading random notes actually be? I can't imagine it's completely useless but a lot of music is remarkably similar and quite predictable. I&#x2
