swift/lib/Basic/LangOptions.cpp has most of the conditional compilation macros (called “Language Options” in the compiler internally). Notably the swift() version macro is absent, and doesn’t seem to be defined anywhere… At time of writing the two undocumented additions, to the os(), arch(), and swift() set, are _endian() and _runtime(). I have no idea if they’re useful… Read more
Sigh. The Swift team give an impeccable impression of a group of people who’ve never actually tried to use Swift. An incredibly basic compiler task is to provide code a way to distinguish between debug & release builds, in order that it can behave accordingly (e.g. change the default logging verbosity, change asserts from fatal to… Read more
I hadn’t ’til yesterday realised that EXIF metadata doesn’t actually store dates & times correctly. Whoever came up with the spec all those decades ago clearly didn’t know how to work with dates & times correctly. This is immensely frustrating since now we have countless images taken with timestamps that are collectively gibberish. The problem is… Read more
This was a pleasant surprise: I’m not sure how useful it is, since I don’t typically turn to a search engine to run random Swift code, but hey, kudos for effort.
Input code: Push button. Expect results (or at least bacon). Get: Foo.swift:76:21: error: expected ‘,’ separator .day: { String($0 + 1) }, ^ , Foo.swift:76:21: error: expected expression in list of expressions .day: { String($0 + 1) }, ^ Foo.swift:76:21: error: expected ‘,’ separator .day: { String($0 + 1) }, ^ , Believe it or… Read more
Foo.swift:75:49: error: expression was too complex to be solved in reasonable time; consider breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions let componentsOfPotentialInterest = [(Calendar.Component, ((Int) -> String))]( ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The fuck?
I run Einstein@Home, using both CPU cores & my GPU. Other than a few month period where Einstein@Home was issuing broken GPU work units, I’ve been successfully doing this for years, I think. Longer than I can really remember, in any case. It appears, however, that 10.12.2 has introduced some serious issues impacting those GPU… Read more
