It looked pretty clean to me as well. Strange that they don't use trailing commas in aggregate initializers though.

Your last sentence sounds so unlike my experiences driving on UK motorways that I imagine the experience just won't translate (for whatever reason).

And all that stuff will still be exactly the same, whichever language you're working in. It will also probably still be there in ten years' time - or, if not, it will have changed only quite slowly in the meantime. (I know some pe

I think each entry is supposed to be tweet-sized, and it's supposed to be read as a sequence of tweets (numbered so that Twitter's web site doesn't mess it up).

Part of the problem is that Xcode (you know, the editor pretty much everybody will be using to write Swift) leaves blank lines indented. So to leave a blank line that doesn't have indentation, you press Return, and you get an indented

There's a module for this: json. The error messages might not be very good, but it does check for trailing commas.

I've seen a few 1080p videos (via Dolphin) of a Wii game I worked on a few years ago, and something similar applies. All the cut corners, ignored bugs and LOD distance settings were chosen assuming 640x480. All much easier to spot at 1

Are SIMs a thing in America? If so, is buying a second cheap phone for emergency use not an option? Put your normal SIM in it when required. Cheaper phones tend to have decent battery life, because they don't have any battery-sapping f

I think you'd need the cotton bit for Western-style earwax (which I suspect dominates in the US - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earwax#Physiology ), or some water. But it could just be a question of technique.

How would they know they were #95? It's not clear why failed applicants would automatically leap to the theory that they didn't get in because of affirmative action, rather than just assuming they weren't good enough. Competi

The self-pipe trick isn't a perfect replacement for signalfd, because the signals aren't blocked. Blocked signals don't cause EINTR when they're received. When working on OS X (and presumably BSD), you can use kqueue (th

Well, sure, but if you spend a bit more money it will take no time at all, because somebody else will do it for you while you get on and do something else :) Much easier to find more money than more time.
