I started using SuperDuper user in 2005 and was happy with it for a decade. Then one day in 2015 or 2016 it stopped working, and upon investigating, I discovered it used AppleScrip…

That can be just a ziplock bag and the same water bath you're going to use for the sous vide anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrZPLF0ezw8nn

> (Mary, at 16, was twice her age) The problem states “She _is_ twice as old as Ann was”, not “She _was_ twice as old as Ann was”.

This idea is a significant part of Anathem by Neal Stephenson.

Here’s what Tim Schafer said about selling Double Fine to Microsoft at the time: > "I think it's perfect for us, because we can just focus on doing our inspired weird games, and no…

I’m with Casey on this: I will not buy a car without CarPlay. Of course, I haven’t bought a car since 2013. That one is a Tesla Model S and I think its UI is pretty decent for maps…

At my office we refer to these (in IntelliJ) as ketchup, mustard, and relish (depending on the color).

This article is about actors in the Swift programming language, and I’d answer the question (“is a stateless actor pointless?”) differently: there is no such thing as a stateless a…

In Swift (Apple’s C++ successor), the normal operators (`+`, `-`, `*`) trap on overflow for integer types. If you want twos complement wrapping, you can use `&+`, `&-`, and `&*`. G…

The second sentence of your summary is fine, but I don’t like the first sentence: > Use your language’s type system to parse unstructured inputs. We don’t use the type system to pa…

In the Intel CPU + cold cache case, the quad search matters. In the other three cases, only the SIMD matters.

Quaternary search effectively performs both of the next loop iteration’s possible comparisons simultaneously with the current iteration’s comparison. This is a little more complex …

While plenty about the iPad situation sucks, my biggest gripe is the discontinuation of the Smart Keyboard Folio. This was the one that only had a keyboard, no trackpad, but could …

It's kind of crazy that the IRS (among other United States government agencies) uses ID.me for account management. The .me domain belongs to Montenegro.

How to add a button in SwiftUI: Button(“Click Me”) { buttonWasClicked() }

When my daughter finally needed one of those godawful monopoly-priced calculators for school, we went to the nearest pawn shop and found a TI 84 Plus, opened, for $40, and a TI 84 …

Somehow Woot still has a supply of the Smart Keyboard Folio for certain 11" iPads Pro/Air. My wife is still using an older gen 11" iPad Pro and her keyboard folio stopped working (…

Most of the “delivery” (getting it from the factory to its final installed location) was done by machine: forklifts, cranes, ships, trucks, and (I'm guessing) a motorized lift on t…

If you’re a Swift programmer, the swift-snapshot-testing package is a great implementation of these ideas. https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-snapshot-testing

For an electrification company.

I'm pretty sure you meant something other than "buildings under about 6 feet".

Thank you for this. I’ve been using it for years.

Maybe just don't utilize "utilize" or "utilise" at all. There are very few cases where utilizing "utilize" or "utilise" is better than using "use".
