This is fantastic, just what I was looking for, a very quick intro to swift that assumes I'm already a programmer.

The Apple docs, at least last time I tried reading through them, were like wading through treacle so this is a great alternative! I just read the first couple of chapters in 10 minutes and got all the key info I wanted with no fluff - great job!

One edit suggestion - I've noticed a couple of times so far that "it's" is used incorrectly, for example in this sentence:

> You can’t change the type of a variable once you’ve declared it. It’s type is fixed at the time it is declared.

I assume you know the error here but on the off chance you don't:

it's = it is (it's a Bool) /
its = the possessive of it (Bool is its type)

It's a little jarring so you might want to go through and fix these.

Cheers for the book! :-)
I fear we have the same fears.

I am also gay, also without many gay friends (few that I hang out with frequently), same startup life, same late 20s, never been in a relationship story.

I am deeply uncomfortable with who I am. I have not found an answer yet.

It's not a restriction for solar sails. I know that.

But the grandparent comment said "It's mainly targeted at cube sats".

And cubesats tend to be LEO-based. (They tend to be the cheapest thing possible - and its harder to get into a higher orbit. And they tend to be launched parasitically to boot.)

Hence, talking about LEO.
The whole thing issue was that it had to run in IE8.

Being gay is kind of terrible. Especially if you want a committed monogamous relationship.
If they get more then 25 weeks of payments in the useful life of the object, they are ahead of the yuppy stores I sometime buy furniture on instalments from. The difference is that the yuppy store I buy from do 0% financing (by eating their own margin to cover the lender's take) and I do instalments strictly because I get the use of the money for free.

Obviously, the difference is that my "hourly" wage is a lot better then minimum wages and I've demonstrated that I'm credit worthy over the last 16 years I've had access to credit.

I don't know. That's why we need to shine more light on this industry. Who knows? This might be a viable target for something cooperative scheme like microfinance (which has the advantage of low interest rates, high recovery rates, mutual benefit and general social upliftment).
You got that right. It's still hard to do.

I've run some numbers in the past, though I don't have them in front of me anymore. While of course they should be taken with a rather large grain of salt, providing $6-9k/yr to every American doesn't seem to produce crazy numbers. It's also an amount that's low enough that we're not likely to see crazy numbers of people opting out of the workforce, while high enough to increase the bargaining power of workers a bit. If I had to pick an optimal level of UBI to institute nationwide (which in some senses must exist), I would guess it to be around there.

That said, recently I've been thinking of a different approach. Concerns about scale (and migration) are smaller if we start with a smaller amount. I've been thinking an approach might be creation of a private institution tasked with designing and coordinating a basic income program for regions (probably at the city or county level, in the US) that opt in and who meet whatever necessary standards. The program would then apply to anyone who lives or works in a participating locality. The program could then be gradually rolled out and scaled up as (/if) it's found to work. National benefits can be phased out by treating BI income as income. One thing that makes this plan seem more workable is that the organization could raise money from supportive individuals to build a buffer for the program, to serve as something of a carrot for prospective localities.

I think the problem with the way you are seeing things is what I call the "Star Trek View of the Universe". This is where all Vulcans are the same, all Klingons are the same, all <insert planet> are the same.

Example:

> Americans, generally speaking, don't care about other people.

That's not even close to being true. A cursory google search reveals that the US is at the top of the list of nations engaged in charitable donations, foreign aid and other metrics of generosity that clearly indicate that we do care about other people.

And, no, Americans are not a homogeneous herd that thinks and behaves the same way. And that's why the problems and the solutions are sometimes very hard to sort out. Yet I'll take this any day to some of what goes on in many nations around the globe.

My favourite quote like this is "great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people" which is usually attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, but this is disputed. However the nature of the quote highlights that squabbling over the provenance of quotes is not a great minded thing to do.
Sure, if you quote the heading it's easy to pick apart, but read the contents of that section. He mentions "working smarter, not harder" and "no unnecessary logic" which are both hard to disagree with. Certainly we don't want a bunch of inlined calls and hard-to-mentally-parse-operations but that's not what he's advocating. In the very next section he describes code as being a means of communicating with the computer and humans.

So what's the distinction between simply making a passable program and working smarter, without unnecessary logic? It's hard to understand or even believe unless you've seen it happen. Even if you understand and believe, the magnitude of how powerful it is can easily be underestimated.

Take prime factors for example; how would you program it? Most people would probably expect they'll need some kind of primes against which they can factor a given number. You might create the list of primes or have a data source somewhere, and iterate over it looking for prime factors. The result could easily grow into a (small, but) considerable program.

If you practice TDD and "fake it till you make it", testing the next-dumbest case you can wind your way to very elegant algorithms through refactoring against tests. That sounds easy but in reality it often feels silly to test this one other simple edge case or to test every failure case (1..2..3..) and that makes it hard feel worth doing. It's also difficult to look at known-working code and see the other possibilities for how the same result could be accomplished for all cases with a different methodology.

If you haven't yet, check out Bob Martin's primes kata: http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.ThePrimeFactorsKata
(The slides have a lot to be desired but the only video I could find was on vimeo with a lengthy intro and no apparent way to fast-forward)

Chances are we'd rather maintain the simple 3-line algorithm rather than the one with the data source and unnecessary complexity. That doesn't mean shorter is always better, but in many of the problems we face everyday there are elegant solutions hiding in the details. The simpler solutions inherently have less to maintain, for better or worse.
> It sounds like you want a relationship and you're not doing anything about it that works to get one.

Yeah, but since I have no experience (and no one to talk to -- parents don't know I'm gay, for example), I don't know what works.

> I bet, after you get into a relationship and you reflect on all the times you hung out with other people, you'll gradually realise there were plenty that liked you, and you just didn't see it, or act on it, at that time.

I very rarely meet anyone who's openly gay; when I do, they're taken.

Also, it should probably be worth mentioning, I'm not very attractive. I like to think I have a good personality, but I don't naturally attract peoples' interest.

Does it recognise all my food?

"Food ID uses the camera and sensors to recognize commonly cooked foods. The camera communicates with the NVIDIA K1 Quad-Core ARM Cortex and the NVIDIA Kepler GPU with 192 CUDA cores." ~ http://support.juneoven.com/article/69-how-does-food-id-work...

How about an oven that:

- cleans easier?

- use less energy?

- stop me getting burnt while extracting trays?

- have simple ergonomic controls?

- in-built smoke detection?

- a loud timer?

- warms up faster?

These are all real-world problems that don't require software/hardware looking for a problem. I'm disappointed when I see the novelty approach taken to to solving problems of cooking. I thought this was already achieved with the microwave?

Instead what I would really like to see is a way to determine if food is going off, contaminated and where it comes from. This kind of food-tech would rock!
You seem to be objecting to an attempt at defining UBI. I'd interpreted the context as "give me a proposal for how to do UBI", in which case "Social Security and Medicare for everyone" does seem an attempt at such a proposal. The proposal is substantially incomplete, as the question certainly arises of how to calculate social security benefits for those who haven't worked long enough to qualify under existing rules... but with certain answers to that question, it would be implementing a UBI system (along with other stuff as well).

They've always insisted everyone else needs to change and play according to their tune, but I think they may (finally) have realised that the ones who has to change is themselves.

The thing about down-votes is that they don't change reality one bit. They might provide the voter immediate satisfaction but the truth of the matter isn't modified in any way.

Let's see how this Apple thing plays out over the next few years. I run into more and more people every day that are sick and tired of their i-device and I have yet to hear anyone at all say they have any interest whatsoever on the Apple watch.

So, down-vote or not, whether you agree with me or not is immaterial at this stage. The only thing that matters is whether or not my opinion today will hold true a few years from now. I think it will. And, of course, I could be wrong. That's the way it goes.

I suggest reading "The Old Man and the Sea". It was the first Hemingway book that I ever read. I read it when I was 13 or 14 years old and I remember being both amazed and deeply moved by the story.

I was amazed because it seemed to me that very little happened in the story. The plot, characters and character interactions are very simple. Yet, I couldn't put it down because it was so compellingly written. It was superficially simple, but incredibly deep because of what it deliberately left out. I'd never read anything like it.

I wish I could get across to you what you are missing because appreciating Hemingway introduced me to a different way of enjoying literature.

Hmm, I never had to read him for AP but I read a novel of his, can't remember the title, about these guys on Cuba, sittin in their town, and it just had me going. His sprawling style as you note just sort of fit the sprawling lives these characters lived. I've got another sitting on my bookshelf and one day after the other twenty or so odd books I ordered off Amazon but haven't quite read yet I'll get into that one too.

He is himself, also, as real life characters go, one of the greatest and most interesting I've ever had the chance to read about. What an eccentric and alcoholic lifestyle.

I could see not liking being forced to read his work though. Like the author of As I Lay Dieing which was itself a tough read, I really needed the time and mood to truly enjoy it.

Do you read Dan Savage? http://www.thestranger.com/columns/savage-love

Your new city probably has a gay counseling phone line. If it doesn't, you need to move somewhere that does. You're the reason volunteers spend their time on those phones, so call them. They're gay, and they know where gay people hang out in your part of the world.

> Has anyone else found themselves in this situation? How did you get out of it?

By joining the university choral society, persistence, and a fair bit of luck. You'll probably do it differently.

> None of my friends are gay, nor do they know any gay people.

Let's do some probability theory. Trait X is randomly distributed across 10% of the population. (You can cut the Kinsey scale at different places. It's a round number, and it's true for some plausible definition of "gay".) The likelihood of your assertion is around P=0.9^(N²), where N is the typical number of friends you or one of your friends has. Go run hoc.

Case 1: P is above, say, 5%. This is the easy case. You could be right, and you just need to get out more. Stop reading HN and do it.

Case 2: P strains credibility. You might have to replace "are" with "say that they are". This is the hard case, because meeting more people who say that they're not gay won't help, and you need some different friends. A few things to consider at that point:

Things like online dating, and events where 30% of people are gay, make it sound like you're still at least partly in the closet. If you fix that, you can start going to pubs and parties where 99% of people are gay, and they're 99% sure that you are. That makes everything much easier. For one thing, closeted guys in their late 20s aren't boyfriend material.

Coming out is like standing on a diving board: make sure there's something safe to land on, take a deep breath, then take a step where you can't step back. The feelings of exhilaration, existential choice, and not standing on anything solid, are pretty similar in both cases.

People tend not to be out at work. Therefore pretty well all sane gay men have a significant life apart from work. That has some negative career implications, but it also has some positive ones.

Good luck.
"But to get to the higher-quality jobs, you generally need experience. Not many employers are willing to hire someone and put him in a responsible position based off their potential alone. It follows, then, that we need substantial number of entry level positions to, so to speak, open the door for future potent workers."

I've been wondering about a similar (far more narrow) dynamic around the C programming language. There are still a number of places C is the best fit, but those are increasingly in places where expert knowledge of C is required.

There are presently enough legacy projects where people can cut their teeth usefully that this isn't soon a major issue, but if we continue to displace more but not all uses of C, this could get interesting in the long term (maybe).

I sat in on an interview for a new administrative assistant once. My regional vice president was doing the hiring. A long line of mostly black and brown women applied because we were a cosmetology school. Trade schools at the margins of skilled labor in a gendered field are necessarily classed and raced. I found one candidate particularly charming. She was trying to get out of a salon because 10 hours on her feet cutting hair would average out to an hourly rate below minimum wage. A desk job with 40 set hours and medical benefits represented mobility for her. When she left my VP turned to me and said, “did you see that tank top she had on under her blouse?! OMG, you wear a silk shell, not a tank top!” Both of the women were black.

The VP had constructed her job as senior management. She drove a brand new BMW because she, “should treat herself” and liked to tell us that ours was an image business. A girl wearing a cotton tank top as a shell was incompatible with BMW-driving VPs in the image business. Gatekeeping is a complex job of managing boundaries that do not just define others but that also define ourselves. Status symbols — silk shells, designer shoes, luxury handbags — become keys to unlock these gates. If I need a job that will save my lower back and move my baby from medicaid to an HMO, how much should I spend signaling to people like my former VP that I will not compromise her status by opening the door to me? That candidate maybe could not afford a proper shell. I will never know. But I do know that had she gone hungry for two days to pay for it or missed wages for a trip to the store to buy it, she may have been rewarded a job that could have lifted her above minimum wage. Shells aren’t designer handbags, perhaps. But a cosmetology school in a strip mall isn’t a job at Bank of America, either.

I'd like to thank everyone who responded here. I'm now aware of OneTab, but their support for cross-syncing isn't done yet, and it doesn't help in the (somewhat degenerate case) of Chrome on Android (which always seems to be left behind when you're doing cool stuff).

Solving this with an extension seems suboptimal when Google may already have an internal unreleased project that does what I want.

If OneTab (or Spaces, another similar extension) could sync across my computers, this would probably be 90% of what I requested.
