Swift has module-level namespaces and recommends lots of little modules.

Hit by a driver.

Cops are predominantly drivers and don't want to enforce anything against other drivers, because "it could be them".

If you're driving fast enough on a local street that you can hit and kill someone, you're incredibly negligent (see: all NYC taxi drivers).

I don't know JS, but this sounds like a lot more work than just checking everything into your repo?

> I don't think it's possible to make a call-blocker app which functions as a whitelist, sadly, because I think this is like their browser content blockers and operates as the app providing a list of blocked numbers for privacy reasons.

There's only 10,000,000,000 phone numbers, not even eliminating area codes that don't exist. I wonder if iOS will break on that...?

...people would say the NYC subway is a great example to follow?

No, that's sick. Civilized states like New York don't execute people, only the federal government can do so here (in an arguable violation of the "states' rights" that Republicans hold so dearly).

Do they get to take advantage of labor laws protecting organizing since they're not actually, like, employed? Obviously the minimum wage doesn't apply to them...

If they don't have the protection, doing that could jeopardize any chance they have of going to the NFL (not that most of them make it anyways).

The real problem here is that cars are permitted in a park.

Ah, I was just wondering if running a 144hz monitor at 60hz was like watching a 24fps movie at 30fps... if that makes sense? But the monitor can just switch its actual refresh rate.

A scarf that's barely covering the bottom of the guy's face? They don't know true winter. (or, like, Muslims)

Couldn't you just tell her your passcode? That seems safer.

That matches what they did to touch ID in iOS 10: unlocking no longer actually took you to the home screen, just left you on the lock screen with your phone unlocked for... some... reason. There is a setting to change it, maybe there will be one for this as well.

Is that because of the faster refresh rate, or because none of those divide evenly into 144 and thus you're getting weird frame stretching?

Curious as I just got back into gaming after several years and everyone seems to love 144fps now, wondering if I should upgrade. I have a 1080Ti, so I could presumably render that

Definitely noticeable in gaming, 200ms is unplayable.
