Swift has module-level namespaces and recommends lots of little modules.

Hit by a driver.

Cops are predominantly drivers and don't want to enforce anything against other drivers, because "it could be them".

If you're driving fast enough on a local street that you can hit and kill someone, you're incredibly negligent (see: all NYC taxi drivers).

I don't know JS, but this sounds like a lot more work than just checking everything into your repo?

it is everywhere else too, but people do quit...

> I don't think it's possible to make a call-blocker app which functions as a whitelist, sadly, because I think this is like their browser content blockers and operates as the app providing a list of blocked numbers for privacy reasons.

There's only 10,000,000,000 phone numbers, not even eliminating area codes that don't exist. I wonder if iOS will break on that...?

...people would say the NYC subway is a great example to follow?

No, that's sick. Civilized states like New York don't execute people, only the federal government can do so here (in an arguable violation of the "states' rights" that Republicans hold so dearly).

Do they get to take advantage of labor laws protecting organizing since they're not actually, like, employed? Obviously the minimum wage doesn't apply to them...

If they don't have the protection, doing that could jeopardize any chance they have of going to the NFL (not that most of them make it anyways).

CC0?

The real problem here is that cars are permitted in a park.

Ah, I was just wondering if running a 144hz monitor at 60hz was like watching a 24fps movie at 30fps... if that makes sense? But the monitor can just switch its actual refresh rate.

A scarf that's barely covering the bottom of the guy's face? They don't know true winter. (or, like, Muslims)

I think almost everyone playing games could.

Couldn't you just tell her your passcode? That seems safer.

That matches what they did to touch ID in iOS 10: unlocking no longer actually took you to the home screen, just left you on the lock screen with your phone unlocked for... some... reason. There is a setting to change it, maybe there will be one for this as well.

Is that because of the faster refresh rate, or because none of those divide evenly into 144 and thus you're getting weird frame stretching?

Curious as I just got back into gaming after several years and everyone seems to love 144fps now, wondering if I should upgrade. I have a 1080Ti, so I could presumably render that

Definitely noticeable in gaming, 200ms is unplayable.

I wonder if it works with scarves and hats covering everything but your eyes. It seems like an obvious oversight, but it's a Californian company that launched a maps app without any transit support...

Do identical twins actually have identical faces? Some of their facial structure must be shaped by diet, exercise, life in general, right?

At one point (iOS 10?) iOS's quickness in falling back to the passcode prompt regressed greatly.

In the cooking use case you ought to be able to say "hey Siri, keep my phone unlocked", but she'd probably just search for that on Bing.

So what I'm talking about is: I place my thumb on the home button and three fingers on the back of the phone, while grabbing it in my pocket. The fingers are initially pointed down, in the same direction of the phone. As I drag it out of my pocket, I click the home button and flip the phone around, so now my fingers are horizontal across the phone (standard phone-holding position basically). It's almost always unlocked by the time I can see anything on the screen.

This requires you to always orient the screen "inwards" (towards your leg).

I unlock my phone in my pocket with Touch ID all the time - ready to go and on the home screen by the time I've flipped it around in my hand. Feels like a straight downgrade in usability.

also, some engineer at apple had to continuously grow a beard to test this

Oh, I get it, it's just that the feature is often talked about like it's the second coming of wifi. It takes me about a second to plug in my iPhone.

Wireless charging is baffling to me. Instead of carrying a small plug and cable around, you carry a... giant disc - and it still has the plug? It would be one thing if it was magic charging that worked anywhere within a few meters of the charger, but I gather that's impossible. You still have to put it on the disc!

I get that it's optional.

Yes, it informed me about them to the extent that I've installed a uBlock list to specifically avoid being informed about them. I don't even live in the EU...

Seriously it makes me feel like I've taken a disc sander to them, in a good way. So smooth.

..."until"? Both of those are entirely optional.
