I don’t know. You should contact Apple support maybe?

If you're using a USB hub/dock (the author says he isn't), you should upgrade to macOS 11.2.2 because: > macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 prevents MacBook Pro (2019 or later) and MacBook Air (…

The WHO situation report for 06/Mar says: > For COVID-19, data to date suggest that 80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic, 15% are severe infection, requiring oxygen and 5% ar…

If your SDK is meant to be used as a binary framework or in any sort of compiled form (which is probably unlikely because you say it's going to be open source), I'd recommend Obj-C…

For the kind of applications that Swift is intended for now (i.e. iOS / Mac apps), debug-mode runtime doesn't affect productivity very much as long as runtimes are fast enough to r…

Here they are: Post on declarative style: http://talk.commonmark.org/t/571 Syntax diff: https://github.com/vfmd/vfmd-spec/wiki/commonmark-vs-vfmd

Thanks. Really happy to see that you're open to a complete rewrite of the stmd spec (to a possible algorithm-based style). I'll be happy to open a post in talk.commonmark.org on th…

With PEGs, it's not possible to express nested content, so we have to collate for example the blockquoted content of blockquotes and process them separately. Per my understanding (…

jgm, thanks for your comment. I have a lot of respect for your work in Markdown parsing (especially your PEG grammars and Babelmark2), which I find useful and valuable. I understan…

True, we can write a CFG that can accept any input, but not one that can parse Markdown. Actually, I should have said it's not possible to write an _unambiguous_ CFG for Markdown. …

It wasn't, but this is not a good way to build it either because (from my previous post): > A specification-by-example like this would have to keep an ever-growing list of corner c…

The problem is that there's no formal grammar and the spec of "Standard Markdown", while being more specific than John Gruber's, is still full of ambiguities. Some examples of ambi…

It's not possible to write a formal (non-PEG) grammar for Markdown. Hence, a spec, which is the next best thing (a la HTML5). Of course, vfmd is not a md-to-html converter, it's an…

That's funny. I am really a CS guy. Just happened to work for a semiconductor company for a few years after college.

Man, that's one hell of a clickbait title.

You mean they don't always have to be "voltages". Agreed. I only wanted to emphasize that at the physical level, they are not discrete. In this case, they happen to be represented …

Presumably, you're already familiar with how the text in your text editor gets converted to a binary representation. The code that gets stored in the iPad's flash memory is already…
