I believe it’s a cheeky reference to humans intentionally cultivating hot peppers specifically because of their capsaicin-producing quality. :)

For those that are arguing that this is simply a legal arbitrage, or financial engineering of some sort, I suggest reading the actual indictment. From page 4: > at relevant times t…

You're overthinking this. From the indictment (page 4): > at relevant times to this Indictment, a Manhattan-based music distribution company ("Distribution Company-1 ") [...] requi…

Yeah, I suppose I went in primed for a more opinionated style just because of the fact that I was reading an unknown author’s Substack rather than something that purported to be ne…

Honestly, I feel better if an author makes their personal biases known rather than try to conceal them beneath a facially impartial analysis. It naturally invites more scrutiny on …

IIRC the property ‘each single digit has the same density’ is the definition for a ‘simply normal number’ (in a given base), while ‘each finite string of a particular length has th…

Sure, but it is an option (as well as everywhere along the spectrum up to maximization), and so ‘people want to move there’ is not on its own a justification for ‘prices must go up…

But this doesn’t offer any justification for why, for locations that people highly value living in, we as a society ought to do anything other than maximize the number of people li…

There are many homeless people who are not living on the streets: those living in shelters, or cars, or who are frequently moving between temporary living situations with friends o…

FWIW the concurrency story has been getting substantially more attention over the past couple of years with first-class language support. Swift 6 aims to be data-race-safe by defau…

There's some elaboration in this forums post on "Embedded Swift": https://forums.swift.org/t/embedded-swift/67057

It’s not quite self-driving cars but Snow Crash has a very similar plot detail.

No, the SO post is accurate—it’s trivially easy to create strong reference cycles in Swift and @escaping annotation is only of limited use in detecting strong reference cycles. Tho…

Example of a distribution which would not fit this description: 1. 4096 2. 2048 3. 1024 4. 512 5. 256 6. 128 ... Here, the frequency of a word is inversely proportional to its rank…

May not make a difference if you don’t take Apple at their word but iCloud Keychain is among the services/data encrypted end-to-end[1] and there’s no exception mentioned for iCloud…

On iOS each password item in Settings.app has a "Share" button that lets you AirDrop to another device. I don't see another way to export from iOS. Safari on macOS (at least in Mon…

FWIW, iOS 15 lets you put a TOTP secret right into the saved password entry on your phone, and it will autofill the code just like it autofills your password.

Great article! Glad to have that misconception cleared up.

That problem could have been resolved via type erasure (either via `AnyView`, or, if SwiftUI had been designed differently, by having the `body` property be of type `View` rather t…

From what I understand, SwiftUI uses this so that each "snapshot" of the View tree generated by the app can be intelligently diffed against future snapshots. This helps make render…
