AVMetadataKeySpace

A structure that defines a metadata key space.

source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avmet...


That’s just a C enum interfaced in Swift. You can’t instantiate it, and it has no methods or any kind of functionality. It’s effective a list of numbers.

What are you expecting the documentation to say here? It will make more sense when you find where it’s used.

Edit: First link on the bottom explains exactly what it’s used for. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/retri...


struct AVMetadataKeySpace - a unique unit representing each of the metadata key spaces supported by AVFoundation.


? Did you read the link? It’s used to query collections of keys grouped by the KeySpace categories, instead of a single item per key. Makes sense to me.

There’s plenty of other poorly documented Apple APIs (io_surface), but this isn’t one of them.


> It’s used to query collections of keys grouped by the KeySpace categories

Sounds like something that should be mentioned in the opening sentence of https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avmet...


The struct is only named on the link you provided, not documented. So thanks for showing the absolute irony of it not being greatly documented, allowing people to misinterpret what it means.


Because it’s a boring enum in C, auto translated to a swift struct.

And if you’re reading the documentation because you do development, then you would already know that the header files are installed on your computer and you can trivially verify that there is nothing to document because it’s just a query key.


Enums get documented everywhere else. If nothing else, you need the range of options!

Going off to read the header file means it isn't documented.


Just run an Aviatrix gateway instead, same functionality, lower price


High Yield Savings Accounts (HYSA) like Marcus by Goldman Sachs can be a good place to keep the 3 month cash reserves.


Marcus has lagged its competitors by 0.7% or more for all of 2022. I suspect Goldman Sachs is having problems dumping money into Marcus given its losses.

I would go with CIT Savings Connect, they have historically been near the top and they have a nice website.

This is a fascinating change to the arc of the cannabis industry that I did not expect to see. We make the distinction between legal and illegal sales but the market does not care. With decriminalization happening all over I wonder if the existing culture of illegal trade will continue to thrive and always exist to undercut legal sales.


I don’t see this case as a reason. It seems the system worked as intended here. Defendant made very specific claims in their review “charged for goods not ordered”, it went to the judge and the defendant could not prove what they said was true.

Just be careful that when writing a review you don’t lie or embellish the facts. As well as making it clear when you are just stating an opinion. “the goods I received were not of the quality I expected” (opinion based) vs “the vendor intentionally gave me bad quality goods” (speculative and not easy to prove).


What does it mean to confidentially file for an IPO? Is this a common process before filing an S-1?


It means that the company has started the review process with the SEC. The company is going to go back and forth with the agency to make sure their filings, audits, disclosures, etc. are up to par before the company files publicly in a few months. Once the filing is public the company will wait for 15 days before launching their roadshow.

And yes, this is how the process works with every company


This is accurate. They have lead left for their syndicate selected if they’re going the traditional underwriter route. They’ll pick all the banks for their syndicate with help from their advisors, and then teach sell side research about the company and use this as a trial period for fielding questions while everyone is under NDA’s before the public flip. Once the roadshow is launched it’ll be something between 1-2 weeks before pricing, though that’s been compressed towards ~1 week since everyone is doing digital meetings now vs in person.

Has anyone done the studies on eye health with long durations of AR/VR ala Oculus usage?


Started in high school with learning Python on Codecademy then solving problems on Project Euler. Went to uni for a computer science degree, which was absolutely worth it to me. During uni I got an internship through a on campus career fair. Currently I write Go and Python for a multi-cloud platform startup.


> Obviously, every formula can be transformed into this form, by applying the rules of Boolean algebra.

Is it so obvious? Why do so many engineers write with these sort of modifiers (obviously, just, of course, etc.)?

Edit: I am assuming no ill intent from the author. I also use these sorts of modifiers without thinking about them much when writing. I am just curious as to why we as engineers call deeply technical things obvious when they are not.


Usually this is a polite way to say that proof/derivation is too long to fit on this page, please look somewhere else if you are interested.

Notable example would be Lev Landau's Theoretical Physics. If you see "obviously" there it is probably not obvious at all and can take good few hours to derive the formula.


I liked the model in blogpost: https://status451.com/2016/01/06/splain-it-to-me/

It discusses that there can be different ways sharing information comes across. For some people, sharing information demonstration that you're smart enough to know the thing. For others, sharing information is for others' benefit.

I wouldn't prefer to interpret "obviously" as "you're not as smart/cool as me if you don't know this", but I can see why there are examples that could come across like that. (I'd sooner interpret it as "I'm not claiming to be smart by saying this").


The good faith interpretation is that the author means in the sense of “it follows then that” as opposed to “if you didn’t realize this upon reading the previous section then something is wrong”


That sounds like something that could be solved with a linter for prose. Though, I can't think of the search terms that would let me find such a solution, if it exists.


Roughly related: why not simply[1]

I don't think it's any malice. Just a way to bring up the idea of a sudden realization. Obviously, I could be wrong.


Makes sense, the success of bringing the Joe Budden Podcast no exclusively last year opened the way for this.

Very interested to see how video will be on Spotify.
