From a different perspective, Trips was surprisingly annoying for me! I had a team we're I'd need to approve other people's trips which would automatically show up as my own in calendar etc. This was especially annoying when our trips would overlap to the same destination. Unfortunately, it didn't have an easy way to mark what was my trip and what wasn't in any sort of repeatable fashion.

I hope they'll include a "not my trip" option if they port the feature, (which I hope, it's a godsend when travelling).

Or since they are already parsing the email's contents to create the trip, they could also pay attention to the traveler's name.

I think it all depends on the context of what you're writing. For example, we use TDD when making additions and modifications to a tax engine. For this use case it's incredibly useful as the relative inputs and outputs are both predictable as well as repeatable.

Alas, in order to optimize profits you wouldn't want to use a shared key pair. The risk of course that once your private key is disclosed then you'll potentially thwart future revenue.

In the scenario described, you're not giving back your private key, you're returning the decrypted key the victim needs to decrypt their data.

That key won't work for other victims.

C# and Java allocate objects to the heap and primitive types to the stack by default so perhaps it may be in context to that (i.e. It's not explicit but rather implicit on the type being used).

> C# and Java allocate objects to the heap and primitive types to the stack by default (...)

Note that it only applies to local variables. If you have a primitive inside an object then it's allocated on the heap as part of the outer object.

I see, that would make sense. Thanks.

As a manager (of managers), I keep reminding my team that if I'm delegating more than they can deal with then to let me know. Personally I admire someone that speaks up and says they're at capacity - it shows self awareness as well as the ability to ask for help.

All in all: asking for help is a good thing!

I agree - I'm yet to find a $15 IPA! If anything, I'd say that rightly or wrongly the prices are very comparable to that of New York. I often spend more on food when I visit New York but admittedly I'd be taking the opportunity to go to a popular restaurant or bar rather than trying to find a convenience store etc. I can only anticipate the same thing would happen if I lived in NY and were visiting here.

I haven't checked lately but traditionally SVG wasn't available with UIImage yet was with NSImage. This often lead to custom drawing code for vectors on iOS.

I used it only as source for the differently-sized raster images. I sort-of inherited an Android and iOS app at that workplace and just went with what was there. But given that the app used OpenGL I'm not sure there even was a possibility of a vector format to use.

why does OpenGL rule out vector formats? there aren't that many great libraries out there for doing it cross platform, but if you treat them as platform dependencies it should be easier...

you can probably google and find loads, but to get you started a little...

the main one I have experience of is 'cairo' which is quite a powerful library for all kinds of drawing things. there is an android build config (although its a bit old now) here: https://github.com/anoek/android-cairo - it is however not great for iOS or OS X...

i've not used, but heard good things about 'sugar' as well: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsugar/

It doesn't rule it out per se, but just rendering a texture is much easier, with fewer dependencies. Android toolbar icons are PNG, not SVG. Most renderers have trouble with all but the simplest SVGs (filters, etc. can be a pain in the ass – Inkscape renders them nicely to PNG and I just don't have to worry). There's a trade-off everywhere and all my solution did was take input SVGs and render the PNGs in various sizes which we previously had to maintain by hand. If rendering vector graphics would have been a major competitive advantage to the app I'm sure it would have been considered ;-)

sure. you are right.

i do wonder how long it will take for Apple to come around to mipmapping and trilinear filtering to tackle their very normal problem of multiple resolutions.

it seems to work well enough in all their use cases for the last 20 years or so... :)
