well, it's comforting to know that the safest conditions to be struck by lightning are also the most likely... seems there is some potential danger of dashing between buildings while dry! but if you're stuck outdoors, you're probably going to be wet anyway.
If I have a buffer in a library and the external API is “append to buffer”, each append will do a bounds check. I’m not aware of an iterator API would work especially considering that the iterator would hold ownership of the buffer which would be incompatible with the call flow returning to the user after the append.
are layoffs healthy for large organizations? intuitively it seems like you’d have thorny complexity ratchets if you never shrink. but the economic pressures probably force sloppy decision making…
in the accessibility settings of iOS one can enable “button shapes” which renders hyperlink-style underlines on buttons masquerading as text. very handy for me. also appreciate differentiate without color, on/off labels, and high contrast: it is much faster for my ADHD brain to navigate iOS with these affordances, relevant details are more salient and my brain has more chance to build a visual hierarchy.
There are some great options hidden there! There's a zoom (I use 3 finger double tap to trigger) and you can have it read the text on a page for you.
