It's definitely a blurry line, this `run` tool invokes your Swift file with `swift file.swift` which runs it in immediate mode. Technically it is compiling your code to memory and and immediately executing it, but is it that different from JIT in Python or Node scripting?

CTRL-Labs themselves acquired the wristband tech from North/Thalmic, who pivoted into smart glasses for a few years before being acquired by Google.

In an interesting twist, CTRL-Labs purchased a series of patents earlier this year around the Myo armband, a gesture and motion control device developed by North, formerly known as Thalmic Labs. The Myo armband measured electromyography, or EEG, to translate muscle activity into gesture-related software inputs, but North moved on from the product and now makes a stylish pair of AR glasses known as Focals. It now appears the technology North developed may in some way make its way into a Focals competitor by way of CTRL-Labs.

I don't really see what advantage typed throws are giving him in this article, since he just wraps arbitrary errors and then uses his lookup function - isn't that basically the same as `catch let error as DecodingError`?

I was going to point that out too until I realized that the author updated the article based on the parent comment!

We say "trurel". As if there was an 'e' between the r and l at the end.

I used to "collect" icon sets, even though I only ever used about 1% of them

They introduced 15% for apps < $1M/year two years ago.

It looks like you could add ntfy.sh as a backend for dschep/ntfy, but just imagine trying to document that!

I don't think ntfy.sh does that, but are you talking about https://github.com/dschep/ntfy?

As far as I understand it, this is allowing TS types to be valid JS syntax that are just ignored by vanilla JS engines. So it is intentionally identical to TS, it just won’t have any affect on the execution of your code.

Not quite. If you offer 3rd party logins you must also offer SIWA, but if you only have email/password you don’t have to.

Swift calls it trailing closure syntax

This doesn't work globally like the other shortcuts, but Ctrl+left/right will move the cursor to word boundaries in camelCasedWords, which is great for programming. I quickly tested it and it worked in Xcode and Sublime Text but not in TextEdit. (You also have to disable the system shortcuts for moving between spaces)

Apparently they're "completely optional"[1] but they chose to use them in all the examples ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Developers are encouraged to download the Apple Developer app where additional WWDC20 program information — including keynote and Platforms State of the Union details, session and lab schedules...

Sounds like there's going to be some sort of interactive lab, I wonder what format it will be.

There are two identifiers: Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) and Identifier for Vendors (IDFV).

IDFA is the same across all apps on a device. However, it can be reset by the user or disabled (in which case it returns all 0s). Also, apps have to disclose (to Apple) that they use the IDFA - not sure if that's visible to the user in the App Store anywhere.

IDFV is unique per vendor - that is, each app has a different ID, but two apps from the same developer will have the same ID. I believe this is also reset when resetting the device.

The FBSDK doesn't require developers to enable the IDFA, so the unique identifier in the phone home request is either the IDFV (effectively unique) or just a UUID that the FBSDK generates and stores on launch.

"we are working closely with Apple to fill the remaining gaps" - definitely sounds like it. I think Apple has made the right call tightening security around kernel extensions but I'm glad they're working with 3rd party developers (even if it's only big ones) to ensure the functionality is still there. They also mentioned the existing version will still work, it will just need to be explicitly enabled.

They recently released it on macOS (via a Catalyst port of the iPad app)

Quick note about your functional examples - there's already a built-in version of `take` called `prefix` available on all Sequence types.

I think the point he's trying to make is that the CK implementation of the APIs common to CK and SC may (or may not) make use of the secure enclave, and that's one reason to have different implementations.

This is kind of the opposite. With Selective Sync, the file exists on Dropbox.com and 0 or more client devices, and each device can choose whether or not to sync the file. The new ignore feature allows a file to exist on one device without being uploaded or synced to other devices.

This [1] seems to be the "head pointer", and I assume it would conflict when merging. In fact, would it not conflict on every merge even if unrelated code was changed, since it hashes on the value of the entire codebase?

Edit: After thinking some more, it wouldn't conflict on a file-level, since the file itself has a different name. But there would be now two files in the _head folder, and I assume the `ucm` tool would detect that and present the user with merging options?

I think it's A=5 D=1 G=2 O=0

102 x 51 = 5202

You can also hide all the desktop icons with a defaults setting:

    defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false

I just use ~/Developer - with tab completion it's not really any harder to type. (And on macOS ~/Developer automatically gets a unique icon in Finder)

I know that some people still prefer a button, but cmd-up on your keyboard will go up a level in both Finder and in file dialogs.

You should be able to pass `--paging always`. The default `auto` will only page if the file contents is bigger than your screen.

As far as I understand it:

A background subshell is started that waits 10 seconds and then runs a program with the input "id". That program uses ioctl to send characters to the current TTY.

Since the user exited back to the root shell before the program executed, the `id` command is typed and executed on the root shell.

CONsole, the noun, vs conSOLE, the verb (to comfort at a time of grief or disappointment)

That's due to a shorthand added in ES2015 that lets you construct an object where keys are equal to the name of the variable. So that's short for

    console.log({ a: a, b: b })
