There were iPhones with Japan-specific hardware for transit cards in the past but as of a couple years ago, all iPhones have been compatible.

Seems like there’s a high probability the author just drives everywhere at home.

Some parts of countries have different travel restrictions than others, for example, Greenland is not part of Schengen.

Wouldn't you only need two bits to encode C, G, A, and T?

I'm writing a component library[1] on top of SwiftUI and while there are ton of unsolved problems in SwiftUI, the separation of concern allows for much more productive workflows than were ever commonplace in UIKit.

We're dropping into UIKit land quite frequently but for the user of the API, that remains implementation detail and while likely change as SwiftUI advances.

Ironically, a "Stock iOS" style app like Mail or Contacts is much harder to pull off with SwiftUI than an app like AirBnB that brings has its own design aesthetic and establishes its own conventions – cooperating closely with your designers and keeping them aware of what's easy/hard is a much better use of your time than trying to rewrite a pixel perfect `UISearchController` clone.

That said, navigation remains a complete mess and I hope that's a top priority for iOS 16.

I don't hear it myself but you might be interested to learn that the DotA song derives from 2000's Daddy DJ by the band of the same name https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flL_2awF-QI

Without Taylor Swift (or any other big name major label artist), Spotify might not be a viable business though.

Taylor Swift may argue that she's entitled to a better deal since she drives traffic, similar to how Apple Stores can negotiate better rents in shopping malls.

I set up the tweet alert thanks to the algorithmic timeline and Bartosz' low post volume but I appreciate your concern.

Apologies, I have no idea how "perfect" perfect pitch is (is it sub-semitone accurate?) but could it be you were first exposed to these songs on PAL-region TV where they suffered from PAL speedup (or the inverse)?

Note that this implementation of `isEven` throws on input that isn't a number or numbers that are not integers, NaN or larger than 2^53-1. I think it's fair to argue an implementation could just as well return false for 1.4, NaN or '2'. There is a cost to learning these minutiae of your dependencies, especially if there is no compiler support to assist you.

If I had to guess, the no break space that macOS has on [alt]-[space]: " ".

EDIT: Hmm, that doesn't seem to be it, here's the commit in question https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-puppet/commit/63b36f93bf75...

Nice, I wrote an NES emulator in Swift once: https://github.com/robb/NES

> Instead, we use the fact that "scoring all alignments" is a convolution operation and can be implemented with the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), bringing the complexity down to O(n log n).

Not sure I understand this right - is this basically treating both binary strings as square waves, converting them to the frequency domain and determining the offset as a pitch shift between the two spectrograms?

They should spawn more overlords instead.

Isn't the choice of font inherently an editor feature like syntax highlighting?

It's more apparent if you look at the long s (ſ) which has since fallen out of favour.

If you squint and your font permitting, ſz should look more like ß.

Not bad, any pointers what technology is involved to build such a summariser?

Not only are they not Typescript, but they the once I checked were mostly C++, which is on the other end of the defect proneness spectrum, according to this study.

Yeah, that's the Homo-Iconic Templating Language for ERlang.

I imagine this is because the original Gameboy only had a 2 bit color palette.

couldn't quite make it out, what did he correct?

It should probably be something like

red.leading = blue.trailing

to handle RTL scenarios

Are they running one Mac OS X instance per Simulator or is there a way to run multiple Simulators at once that I don't know of?

This may be a reference to the Macintosh 128K, which had its casing's inside signed by the developers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_128K

In Chrome, you can clone a tab by command-clicking the reload button.

It's a multiplayer game and they could not afford paying the servers they needed

Tab completion and aliases need not be mutually exclusive. For instance, in zsh you can use:

    alias gs='git status'
    compdef _git gs=git-status

FYI: I also mapped g without parameters to `git status -sb` but g with parameters will simply execute everything as normal

    g () {
      if [ $# -eq 0 ]
      then
        git status -sb
      else
        git $*
      fi
    }
    compdef g=git

When doing a google image search on a screen shot of the sign, I found a couple of matches:

Could it be that the sign is in Tajik and not Russian? (I speak neither of those languages, so I wouldn't know…)
