Swift question: Enum vs. Struct for Variants
In a previous post I mentioned using structs plus a protocol to implement a variant type. There's a Value protocol and a number of different structs that conform to that protocol.
But Andy Matuschak's comment about using an enum instead keeps coming to mind. And then there's this note in the pre-release Swift book:
Alternatively, enumeration members can specify associated values of any type to be stored along with each different member value, much as unions or variants do in other languages.
So let's imagine a variant that can represent a bunch of different data types and that has logic for arithmetic operations and for coercions.
enum Value {
case variantBool(Bool)
case variantInt(Int)
case variantString(String)
etc. — for doubles, dates, data, collections, and so on
(Forgive the "variant" prefix in this example — it's there so I'm not writing
case Bool(Bool) and so on.)
Now let's say we have a bunch of logic.
func canAddValue(value: Value) -> Bool
func valueByAddingValue(value: Value) -> Value
And so on for subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. (Example: variantStrings can add and subtract other variantStrings and things that can be coerced to variantStrings, but they can't multiply or divide. variantData can't do any arithmetic at all. Etc.)
And then add logic for coercions:
func canCoerceToType(type: Value) -> Bool
func valueByCoercingToType(type: Value) -> Value
(This is a little weird because a Value is a type — variantBool, variantInt, etc. — as well as data.)
There's a whole ton of logic there: a variantDate can be coerced to a variantDouble but not to a variantArray, etc.
Unless I'm missing something — which is highly likely, as I'm just barely starting — I've got a whole ton of switch statement to write. And those switch statements have inner switch statements. (Conceptually, that is. Of course I would break things out into separate functions, as in
func variantBoolCanCoerceToType(type: Value) -> Bool and so on.)
That seems a lot to me like writing C code with tagged unions. Which is not necessarily a bad thing — I grew up on C and and still love programming in C (though I don't get much chance to do it these days).
My original idea — a Value protocol plus a bunch of structs conforming to Value, one for each type — is something an Objective-C developer who's new to Swift would come up with.
I realize it's still early to ask about idiomatic Swift and best practices, but I'm asking anyway. What would you do?
Varieties of News Readers
I think — provisionally — that there are three types of news readers. (Am I missing any?)
1. Casual Newspaper
This category includes Flipboard, Zite (sadly defunct), the upcoming Apple News, and others. These tend to have the richest user interfaces of all news readers, with lots of pictures, animations, and interesting layouts.
Typically you pick some categories that interest you and perhaps some sites. You may also add RSS feeds and you might have it pull links from your Twitter and Facebook feeds.
These tend to have significant server backends that not only read various feeds and sites but also assemble (via algorithms and curation) a set of articles personalized for each user.
These are casual because, as with an actual newspaper, there's no expectation that you'll read everything. These tend not to have unread counts, for instance.
2. Productivity App
This category includes apps like Reeder, NetNewsWire, Google Reader (now gone), Feedly, Fever, and others. Their user interface often resembles a Usenet reader or email app. These apps often have things like unread counts and power-user features such as extensive keyboard shortcuts.
These tend to be RSS readers specifically, though not necessarily entirely so.
They don't always do anything about relevance or personalization — personalization is entirely in the hands of the user, who picks which feeds to read. Some do include relevance features, but in general these apps are for people who want the control in their own hands, who don't trust algorithms or curators, who don't want to miss something that might be important.
There are two subcategories of productivity apps: browser-based server apps and native apps. Interestingly, the native apps often provide syncing by connecting to a server app (which may be made by a developer who's not the same as the native-app developer).
3. River of News
These are reverse-chronological streams with optional titles and a short amount of text — often just a summary or excerpt of the linked-to story. (See Dave Winer on What is a River of News aggregator?)
These are also somewhat casual in that there are generally no unread counts and there's no pressure to read everything. You read by scrolling, and you scroll as far as you want to.
There are two subcategories: RSS (or RSS mostly) and social network feeds. Twitter and Facebook could both be considered news rivers. (The RSS variety came first by many years, of course.)
Rivers sometimes have relevance algorithms behind them — as with Facebook, for instance — and sometimes not. They may be stand-alone, without any form of syncing, or they might have giant server back-ends — or something in between.
Swift Protocols Question
I'm still very much a Swift newbie.
The following example is contrived, but it accurately depicts the problem I'm trying to solve.
I have a protocol:
protocol Value: Equatable
A number of different structs conform to this protocol. Some of those structs also conform to this protocol:
protocol Smashable {
func valueBySmashingOtherValue(value: Value) -> Value
My intent is absolutely clear —
valueBySmashingOtherValue must return an object that conforms to the Value protocol.
However, I get this error:
Protocol 'Value' can only be used as a generic constraint because it has Self or associated type requirements.
Okay. So I revise the Smashable protocol like this:
protocol Smashable {
func valueBySmashingOtherValue<T>(value: T) -> T
That compiles. Cool.
So in a struct named
Foo I add this:
func valueBySmashingOtherValue<T>(value: T) -> T {
return Bar()
That's right — Foo's valueBySmashingOtherValue returns a Bar. (Yes, this is contrived, but it distills the more-complex real-world code, which makes sense and is absolutely the right thing to do.)
Both conform to
But I get this error on the
return Bar() line:
'Bar' is not convertible to 'T'.
At this point I don't know what to do. Hence this blog post.
Objective-C version
I approach Swift exactly like an Objective-C coder — because I've been writing Objective-C for almost 15 years. Here's the Objective-C version:
@protocol Value<NSObject>
@protocol Smashable<NSObject>
- (id<Value>)valueBySmashingOtherValue:(id<Value>)otherValue;
Foo method (
Foo and
Bar both conform to
- (id<Value>)valueBySmashingOtherValue:(id<Value>)otherValue {
return [[Bar alloc] init];
One possibility
I'm still thinking in Objective-C. It's entirely likely that there's a Swift-like design that hasn't occurred to me. But what is it?
One simple possibility: don't use protocols at all. Make a
Value struct that does everything the various Value-conforming structs currently do. The
Value struct would be littered with switch statements, which is ugly (and is usually a sign of poor design), but it would work.
This doesn't seem Swift-like, though, given the importance of protocols to Swift. And I can't make myself do it.
There must be a better option.
What I don't want to do is complain, a la Nabokov, that this new language can't match the suppleness of my native language. I'd rather assume it's just that I haven't learned this new language well enough.
P.S. I'll happily link to your blog post if you write up a solution.
Update 10:30 am Monday June 22:
There are a bunch of replies on Twitter.
The essence of the best answers was this:
Value should not be
Equatable — the individual structs should be
Thinking more, the problem is Equatable. Remove or abstract that conformance from Value and everything will work right.
For more details, see David Owens II's blog post:
…there is a way out of this if your situation allows for it: don't conform your protocol to
Equatable, instead, conform your types to it.
And Llamagraphics's blog post:
The error message says Protocol 'Value' can only be used as a generic constraint because it has Self or associated type requirements. This is a little misleading, because it implies that valueBySmashingOtherValue needs to be rewritten as a generic function, but that actually just pushes the problem down to the adopters of the Value protocol. The real fix is to move the use of the Equatable protocol from the Value protocol to the individual struct declarations…
And see Andy Matuschak's gist — which makes an interesting point that I had briefly considered and then dropped:
One note before we start: if the inhabitants of Value are a closed set, then making Value an enum is going to be a clearer model than using a protocol like this. I'm assuming you need to be able to retroactively add new members of Value.
In my case, the inhabitants of Value are a closed set. There are about a dozen.
What concerned me, though, is that I'd be creating a monster enum with a whole bunch of switch statements. But perhaps that's not true? I don't know Swift well enough to think it out in advance — I'd have to try it and see.
(Actually, I may be misunderstanding Andy. There are a dozen Value types — but the values are unbounded. Perhaps not a great case for an enum.)
In the end, I'm still tempted to say the Objective-C version was simpler. And it is, and not just because I'm more familiar with Objective-C. But it's important to note that it's not apples-to-apples. In Objective-C I'm creating classes instead of structs, and there's no support for the == operator.
But I will say this: Objective-C, because it's less strict with types, is closer to a scripting language than Swift is.
I know that that could be controversial, and seems absurd when you consider that Objective-C is a superset of C, which is pretty darn far from a scripting language. But Objective-C as-we-mostly-write-it doesn't include much straight C code.
That's not a value judgment but a characterization. There is a place for strict, less-strict, and not-strict-at-all languages — they all have their uses.
But when I imagined Apple's next-generation language, I imagined a higher-level and less strict language — one that made it easier to get started as a developer, one that got rid of a bunch of the housekeeping we have to do as Objective-C developers.
Though Swift does get rid of a bunch of housekeeping — we can use type inference much of the time, we don't have to create .h files, etc. — it adds its own housekeeping mandated by a stricter type system (and optionals).
When I think about how much of our apps is user interface code — which is often rather boring to write and is just stuff like setting a label, animating a property, pushing a view controller, and so on — I wonder why we're not using an actual scripting language. It wouldn't have to be for all of a given app — not for the performance-sensitive parts — but it would be great for all the stuff that's just pushing user interface APIs around.
More About http Deprecation
Dave Winer writes about http deprecation in The People's Browser.
And I've thought more about it in the context of writing Mac and iOS apps. Let's consider a few apps I've worked on in my career:
NetNewsWire: an RSS reader that connects to any site with an RSS feed, no matter how that feed is served (http or https).
MarsEdit: a blog editor that connects to any blog with an external API, no matter how that API is served (http or https).
Glassboard: a private group messaging system.
Of these, only Glassboard would fit in an https-only world. Since we controlled the server, and since privacy and security were hugely important, requiring https would be no problem. (And of course we did use https.)
The problem is the other two apps. They all rely on the open web rather than servers controlled by the app writer. And it would be unacceptable to limit those apps to https only.
Let's also consider my two secret-project Mac apps. Both of them need http access — they're not limited to servers that I (or some corporation) control.
Since neither app will be sandboxed, I'll be able to do this without Apple's approval. My concern, of course, is that this situation won't last. (It already means that there couldn't be iOS versions of my secret-project apps — at least not without Apple granting an exception, which may be temporary.)
I'm totally on board with defeating the ability of the NSA and your internet provider and everybody else from snooping. I hate this snooping business — it's anti-American and it makes me sick to my stomach for the future.
But I also know that the web isn't going to switch to https quickly or completely. It's expensive. To cut off http is to cut off the arms of the body of free speech.
Secret Projects Diary #1: Post-WWDC Notes
Note: This series — which will probably last a long time — is my attempt at writing about things without actually announcing what they are. I've decided I can eat this cake and still have it.
The point is not to tease — though I realize that that's a side effect, and I apologize in advance. (It's not going to stop me from saving actual announcements until the software is ready, and it's not going to stop me from writing in the meantime. Because writing helps me think, and it's fun.)
I started working on my apps a few months ago, and there was no question at the time that I should use Objective-C. But now with Swift 2 I wonder if it's time to switch.
The new Swift goes a long way toward curing angle-bracket blindness. But, more importantly, now we know what Swift will be once it grows up (and it's growing up fast) — and that thing, a protocol-centered language, is a thing I want.
(The most important session of this year's WWDC was Protocol-Oriented Programming in Swift. It's a peek into how we're going to be writing software for the next decade and more. For the rest of my career.)
I haven't written much UI code yet. Almost everything so far has been data transformations — isolatable things that run outside the main thread, things that could benefit from Swift structs and enums rather than the collection of classes that I'm currently using.
Objective-C is a living language, but Swift is the safer bet for the long term. And I want my apps to last a very long time.
I'm torn between wanting to make forward progress and wanting to port the code so far. I haven't decided yet. I might do these things concurrently.
OS X 10.11 and Auto Layout
My apps will both require 10.11. That was never in doubt.
One of the interesting changes is that AppKit (with split views, particularly) has more of a concept of a sidebars and content lists. And there are some new behaviors, such as automatically hiding a sidebar and showing it as an overlay, that we get if adopt the new APIs.
At least one of my apps (and possibly both; undecided for now) will have a sidebar. But I wasn't planning on using Auto Layout because I've had problems with performance, bugs (in NSToolbar), debugging, and with actually getting things to work the way I want. (I have not been able to replicate Mail's splitview handling using NSSplitViewController, for example, but I can replicate it if I go the old-fashioned route.)
Auto Layout solves a problem I don't have. I've been writing manual layout code for so long that I barely even have to think about it. It's easy. While I understand the benefits of declaring (as opposed to coding) layout, those benefits disappear when things go wrong and when I can't do the thing I want to do.
But this leads to a dilemma. Doing things the old-fashioned way means manually writing sidebars-that-overlay (and so on) and nailing the behavior perfectly and revising it every time the behavior changes. If I use Auto Layout instead, I get the behavior, and any changes to that behavior — but I also get an unknown set (of unknown size) of struggles and frustrations.
If it's a tie, then the winner is the future-proof answer. Which is Auto Layout.
Stack views in 10.10 are slow. (I can point to multiple performance issues in shipping apps that are a result of stack views.) Word on the street is that they're much-improved in 10.11 — which is great. If that's true, then I want to use them.
There are lots of cases where a stack view is the best answer to a layout problem, and so I suspect there will be plenty of stack views in my apps. (As long as they truly are faster now. I haven't checked yet.)
http deprecation
This one worries me a little, and I need to find out more. Since neither of my apps will be sandboxed, it may not be an issue.
But it's a larger issue in the industry and is bound to have an impact on what I do sooner or later.
What upsets me about this issue in general is that it's anti-democratic: it can make writing for the web more expensive and difficult for individuals. As a writer, reader, and open web partisan I dislike everything that shifts power away from people and toward entities with greater resources. What you end up with is corporate speech rather than the voices we know and love and need to hear.
This is a complex situation, though. I strongly believe in the right to privacy, and that encryption should be used much more widely than it is today, and that no organizations, official or otherwise, should have back doors.
Well. Anyway. More research and thought required on this one.
How Not to Crash Series Finished
All done. (At least I think so — I might think of more things, I suppose.) There's a new page that links to all the posts. There's a link to it at the bottom of every page on this site.
How Not to Crash #9: Mindset
You know the old line about not writing code that's as clever as you are, because it will take someone even smarter than you to debug it?
I used to think that means I should write code that's about 80% as clever as I am. Save a little bit for debugging.
But over the years I've come to think that I should write code that's about 10% as clever as I am. And I've come to believe that true cleverness is in making code so clear and obvious that it looks like nothing at all.
And that's why I have rules like do everything on the main thread except for perfectly isolatable things and avoid unsafe_unretained always and so on.
This means I don't get bonus points for being a code magician. I don't pull rabbits out of hats and I certainly don't walk tightropes. I won't even look at tightropes.
I do difficult things as needed, but the goal even with the difficult things is to write the simplest and most-readable code that I can. If, in the end, the code looks easy — unimpressive, even, as if a middle-school kid could have written it — then good.
In the small, this means that methods tend to be small and focused with little nesting. In the large, architecture and naming is iterated-over until it feels inevitable, as if no thought went into it because it all must have been obvious.
It means not getting too abstract. Explicitness is obviousness. But it also means not getting too non-general, either — there are times when two or three things are really the same thing, and they can be generalized without harming maintainability. (And there are times when they can't.)
I avoid tight coupling and large structures — except for when the best solution really is for x to know about y.
And I keep learning and getting better.
The thing that separates programming from painting, writing, architecture, and composing music is that there is no finished product. There are released versions, yes, but there's no finishing, there's only abandoning.
Code exists in time, and maybe across many people — and you don't even know how long or who. This should never be out of your mind.
Cape, mask
When I was younger I wanted to be a code magician — or, really, a hero. But I learned that actual software quality is more important than what I imagine other people think of me.
And, more: quality is a reward that's almost spiritual. It's an act of devotion, both selfish and unselfish, to something more important than ego.
Selfish because the process of striving for quality makes you a better person. And unselfish because better code and better software is better for other people.
And the first thing other people ask of your software is that, if they launch it, it stays launched. Any programmer who can't bring themselves to care about that — or who rationalizes away crashing as a fact of life these days — isn't taking this great fun we are privileged to have seriously enough.
How Not to Crash #8: Infrastructure
Even if you think your app is crash-free, you need to collect crash logs — because there's no such thing as crash-free: it can only be free of known crashing bugs.
There are a few different services for this, and the ones I've tried are pretty good, so I'm not going to make a specific recommendation.
But there are a few things it should do:
Crash logs should be collected without a user having to find them and send them to you. It should be automatic-ish (users should probably be prompted, if on OS X; on iOS nobody seems to expect a prompt).
There should be a way to group crash logs, and you should get a total for each group, so you know which ones are frequent and which aren't.
You should be able to mark a group as resolved.
It's not enough, of course, just to collect crash logs. You should look at them regularly. (I look at crash logs every morning.)
Bug tracker
Have one.
For my personal projects I use a combination of Lighthouse, OmniOutliner, and pen-and-paper — but you should use whatever works for you, as long as your crashes get into your bug tracker and don't get lost.
(Lighthouse is a good bug tracker. For mapping out big new features or entire apps I like OmniOutliner, where I can build a tree of things-to-do. For short-term things — for the 10 steps needed to complete a single task — I like pen and paper, since it's tiring to rely on short-term memory, since pen and paper doesn't disturb the on-screen context.)
Errors and warnings
Xcode by default doesn't turn on enough errors and warnings. I strongly recommend Peter Hosey's set.
The point is to remove doubt from your code.
I go a step further, which I also recommend: I turn on treat warnings as errors. This means that, yes, I can't even debug locally if there's a warning — but the discipline is worth it. It means that whenever my app is actually running, there are not even any warnings.
Instruments is wonderful. It's a very good idea to check how much memory your app allocates, and it's super-important to check for leaks.
And if you're getting crashes, it's a good idea to use the Zombies tool. Your problem might not be related to zombies, but, when in doubt, it's worth ruling out.
Resigning from Q Branch
When I decided to resign from Q Branch I made it clear to my partners that it wasn't about our software or about them. I love Vesper and working on Vesper, and working with John and Dave has been great. We're a fantastic team.
I decided to leave because I wasn't working on the software that I've been obsessed with for more than a decade.
I turned 47 a little while ago, and I've had some reasons to reflect on the shortness of life, and I realized how very important it is for me to work on the software that I think about every day. I kept putting it off, but every day that I put it off hurt more than the previous day. I realized that I couldn't continue — I have to do the work that I need to do.
That software is — most likely (plans can always change) — two new Mac apps, and they're related to each other. They will be Ranchero Software products, which means the team is me and my wife Sheila. One app will be open source, the other commercial. (Again: most likely. Things can change.)
I'll say more about them when the time comes. For now, though: if you're a Vesper user, and you're disappointed that I won't still be working on it, please know that Vesper will continue in good hands — and I think you'll appreciate the apps I'm working on now.
This was a tough decision, and I made it slowly and carefully and with not a little bit of soul-searching. But, having made it, I'm so happy now to be working on the apps I was born to write.
P.S. I didn't mention Omni in the above. Just so it's clear: I plan to remain at Omni until the day I retire. Working at Omni is rewarding by itself — great team, great apps, fun place — and it also allows me to work on my own apps without needing to make money from them. This gives me extraordinary creative freedom, and I'm going to use it.
How Not to Crash #7: Dealing with Nothing
Consider this line of code:
[thing doStuff];
thing is nil, it's no problem. No crash. Nothing at all happens.
But you can't generalize from that that nil is okay in all cases:
[self doStuff:thing];
thing is nil, then what happens? If depends on the implementation of
doStuff: — it might crash. Consider this code:
menuItem.title = thing;
menuItem is an NSMenuItem, then it crashes when
thing is nil. The header for NSMenuItem doesn't say that, and the documentation only hints at it ("If you do not want a title, use an empty string (@""), not nil.")
This means you need to make sure
thing is non-nil. You may be quite certain that it's non-nil. But consider a case I once fixed, where
thing was the name of a font. There was no reason for me to expect that the system API for getting a font name would ever return nil — except that it did, sometimes (rarely, of course, and never on my machine, no matter what I did).
Things to know:
Nil receivers are okay — as long as your code is okay with nothing happening.
Nil parameters may or may not be okay. When calling system APIs, the headers and documentation don't always tell you what could happen. (This may change when they make greater use of nullability annotations.)
Trust no one.
Assertions are a great way of documenting assumptions and requirements, and of making sure those assumptions are true. Assertions should not run in the release build (see the ENABLE_NS_ASSERTIONS Xcode setting).
One of my favorites is NSParameterAssert, which I use almost exclusively as a nil check for parameters that must not be nil.
It's super-easy to use:
- (void)someMethod:(id)someParameter {
…do whatever…
In the future I'll probably start using nullability annotations and NSParameterAssert. Both. (I'll also write some Swift code in the future, which is a whole other thing when it comes to nil. But I'm not talking about that today, partly because I'm not yet enough of an expert in Swift to have good advice.)
I also use NSAssert fairly often. NSAssert takes an expression, and a comment — but I'm lazy, and I make the comment nil. (Which is fine in this case.)
NSAssert(something == somethingElse, nil);
(A note about laziness: the lazy programmer doesn't write crash bugs, because they don't want to fix them later.)
My favorite crashing bug
Years ago, my app NetNewsWire had a crash-log catcher. At launch it would grab the latest crash log from disk and offer to send it to me.
With some OS X release (10.5, I think) Apple changed the format for crash logs on disk. I think they had been one file per app, and Apple switched to one file per crash. I had to write new code to handle the new format.
I made the change. It went to beta testers, who used the app extensively. Weeks passed. All good.
Then, on the day I released this version, I got a ton of reports from people who said, "It's crashing on launch! But it works fine after launching it again."
Here's the deal: the new code crashed when there were no crash logs at all. And then, on the next launch — now that there's a crash log — it would not crash. (Yes, a self-healing crashing bug. In the crash log catcher. Such meta.)
Of course this meant that it crashed immediately for all new users, not just for people who'd been lucky enough never to get a crash.
This was a big reminder to me: always consider the case where there's nothing. Nothing happens all the time. Nothing is pretty normal. But it might take special handling, and it should always be considered.
A less cool crashing bug
I don't think this shipped — I think it was just in beta code.
Vesper syncing talks to a server. The server returns JSON data. The Cocoa JSON deserializer turns JSON nulls into
NSNull objects.
Vesper was expecting an NSString, and got an NSNull. Vesper tried to call a string method on that NSNull, and it crashed.
On the surface this seems like a tough case, because you can't be sure that the type of a given object in JSON text will be what you expect. You're looking for a string and you get an NSNull.
Well, NSNull is one of those things you want to keep as isolated as possible. It's a walking code smell (though I don't know what an alternative would be in the case of JSON nulls). (And you should never deliberately use it outside of JSON. Almost never. Super-duper-rare. Like once every few years, and only if you really, really have to. Maybe not even then.)
This is part of why, as I mentioned previously, I like to turn JSON into intermediate objects. A big part of this is centralizing the handling of NSNull objects — I don't want them to leak out into other parts of the app, where anything they touch turns stinky.
But there's another point, which is this: whoever wrote the server side is your sworn enemy. He or she hates you very, very much.
Now, in the case of Vesper, that was me. But I still have to code as if the server author has my personal and professional destruction as their sole motivation. (Even though I know the guy, and he's cool. He likes kittens.) And that doesn't mean just checking for NSNull — which is normal in JSON anyway — but being careful with the types of every single piece of data.
Anything could be anything, at any time.
(It's not turtles all the way down. You're expecting turtles — but that would be too easy. It might be nothing all the way down.)
Total other thing
Initialize your variables. Just do it. If I had a nickel for every crashing bug I've fixed just by initializing a variable to nil — well, I'd have some nickels. You want zero nickels.
Not initializing your variables is like playing with gasoline and saying it's okay because the matches are in your pocket.

Best-known for his supremely popular hits like Chances Are, It's Not For Me To Say, Wonderful, Wonderful, and Misty, Mathis has had 3 songs inducted into the Grammy® Hall of Fame, achieved 50 Hits on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart, and in 2003 Mathis was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Don't miss this extraordinary evening with the incomparable Johnny Mathis!
"There are a number of good singers, a few great singers, then there is Johnny Mathis."
- Barbra Streisand

Don't they realize what is coming to them...how could they not?
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Iran released what it said was the decoded footage taken by a US reconnaissance drone plane that it captured more than a year ago, Iranian media reported.
The grainy footage was broadcast on Iranian television late on Wednesday and showed images of what officials said were a US base inside Afghanistan and several other aerial shots.
It featured narration from the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerospace force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh. "After we decrypted the data ... we realised that this aircraft had made a lot of flights inside regional countries and was directing much fighting in Pakistan," he said, according to Mehr news agency.
In December 2011, Iran said it had captured an unmanned U.S. RQ-170 drone in eastern Iran which was reported lost by U.S. forces in neighbouring Afghanistan.
The incident highlighted tensions in the Gulf as Iran and the United States demonstrate their military capabilities in the oil-exporting region in a standoff over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
Iranian forces were put on alert after the drone's capture in case the U.S. launched aerial strikes to destroy it, Hajizadeh said. "We had put all our missile bases on alert so if they were to move, we would immediately have bombed their regional bases," Hajizadeh claimed.
Reuters was unable to confirm whether the footage was genuine but Iranian authorities have previously claimed to have decoded much of the data from the downed craft as well as valuable technology.
In a separate incident, in December 2012, Iran said it had captured a U.S. intelligence drone in its airspace over the Gulf. However, the U.S. Navy said had not lost any unmanned aircraft in the area.

Android Pin It SDK
Help people share from your Android app.
Updated December 8th, 2014
With the launch of Pinterest version 1.3 for Android, we'll be supporting the Pin It Button SDK for your Android app. This SDK lets your users create Pinterest content inside your app with just a few lines of code. We support two types of Pin sources: image URL and image URI. Image URL lets you specify the direct path to an image on the web, while image URI lets you specify a path on the device.
This SDK requires the Pinterest app to be installed. We've provided helper methods to determine if Pin It Button SDK is supported and Pinterest 1.3 or higher is installed. This should allow you to remove Pin It in cases where it is not.
Using the SDK
Download the documentation and SDK
First place the
pinit-sdk.jar folder into
YOUR_PROJECT/libs and integrate
into your IDE or build system.
Then we need to do a one time setup.
PinItButton.setPartnerId("YOUR_PARTNER_ID"); // required PinItButton.setDebugMode(true); // optional
To use the PinIt button in an XML layout first add it like so.
<com.pinterest.external.PinItButton android:id="@+id/pin_it" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Next, find the button and set some properties
PinItButton pinIt = (PinItButton) findViewById(R.id.pin_it); pinIt.setImageUrl("http://placekitten.com/400/300"); pinIt.setUrl("http://placekitten.com"); // optional pinIt.setDescription("A place kitten!"); // optional
Alternatively, we can instantiate and add the button entirely in Java.
PinItButton pinIt = new PinItButton(this); pinIt.setImageUrl("http://placekitten.com/400/300"); pinIt.setUrl("http://placekitten.com"); pinIt.setDescription("A place kitten!"); view.addView(pinIt);
Deep Linking
Pinterest for Android supports deep linking of Pins, Pinners and boards in two ways. First, when using the standard Android Browser or other native apps, any normal Pinterest link is capable of being opened in our app. The recommended option for developers is to use a URI scheme as seen below.
What files are included:
- • The library: pinit-sdk-1.0.jar
- • The java doc: pinit-sdk-1.0-javadoc.jar
- • The zipped api doc: apidocs.zip.
- • The Pinterest main apk that works with the pinit feature: pinterest-release.apk
- • The demo project using the SDK's pinit feature: PinItDemo.zip
What's in the PinItDemo:
- The PinItDemo gives 3 examples of how to use the Pin It button:
- 1. "Simple PinIt Demo": shows how to add a single image from network, with listener.
- 2. "PinIt from Gallery": shows how to add a single image from your Gallery app.
- 3. "PinIt in ListView": shows a listview containing images from network, and you can add each image in the list.
How to use the PinItDemo in Eclipse:
- 1. Copy the PinItDemo.zip to your working directory and unzip it.
- 2. In Eclipse, choose File -> Import… -> Existing projects into workspace. Select the PinItDemo folder.
- 3. You should see be a PinItDemo project. Click Finish.
- 4. Put your Client ID in the field CLIENT_ID in file DemoMainActivity.java
- 5. Right click the PinItDemo project and run as-> Android Application.
- 6. Click the demo you want to play, and have fun adding Pins! (Note: If you're not logged into the Pinterest app yet, it will prompt you to log in first.)

Avoid rush hour and get paid by the state
The finance and transportation ministries are looking for ways to convert the vehicle tax structure from one based on ownership to one based on how far drivers travel and when.
Text size
Private transportation generates a windfall in tax money: NIS 27.8 billion a year, about 10% of government revenues. This includes NIS 12.3 billion for cars themselves – purchase tax, customs, and annual licensing – and NIS 15.4 billion on assorted fuel taxes. These taxes are, in a sense, regressive, in that residents of outlying areas invariably have longer distances to travel and therefore pay more.

Bad hat
Very poor fit. I have a normal size head and the hat doesn't even make it to the top of my ears. Hat looks and fits goofy. I would return it if they had free return shipping. Unfortunately the return shipping is more than half the cost of the hat

Americans by contrast are assaulted at every turn by ludicrous portions and fatty, sugary processed concoctions.
Indeed, the idea that this is something people enjoy—that anyone wants to stay idle—is ludicrous.
[It] is ludicrous to make such a risky and unproven view the centerpiece of European science policy.
1610s, "pertaining to play or sport," from Latin ludicrus, from ludicrum "a sport, game, toy, source of amusement, joke," from ludere "to play," which, with Latin ludus "a game, play," perhaps is from Etruscan, or perhaps from PIE root *leid- "to play." Sense of "ridiculous" is attested from 1782. Related: Ludicrously; ludicrousness.

Limoges Fine Art~ Porcelain Antique Dealer
Dr. Rachel L.T. Kulberg, Hillsborough, NC
The Wild Pink Geraniums, with their lovely cool shades of pinks, are a beautiful and a restful sight on this large Limoges Porcelain Charger. At a glance it is difficult to distinguish what kind of flowers these are but a little study of the leaves reveals that they are more than likely wild geraniums. Painted in soft shades of pink and green, the artistry is completely handpainted by the renown artist 'Emile', the son of Jean Pouyat (see below for more information). His work is highly collectible and for a very good reason. In contrast to most French artists doing the same kind of work, Emile's artistic range was immense. In addition to floral paintings, his landscape and nautical paintings are eagerly sought after. Our "Wild Geraniums" painting is a wonderful example of this versatility. The naturalistic style of this piece, with wonderful shading and shadow effects, speaks to the true artistic genius of this painter.
As art critics agree, the appeal of flower paintings is timeless & will continue indefinitely to be a "growing" market. This gentle & romantic hand painted Charger will also appreciate in value over time and offers a safe investment, as well as a charming one-of-a-kind artware piece, for the most serious porcelain floral collector.
Pouyat Family Tree: Jean Pouyat established a company circa 1842 in Limoges and was succeeded by his sons Emile (1806-92), Louis (b 1809) and Leonard-Eugene (1817-76). Emile trained at Locre factory (Paris) and was head of the Limoges factory from 1849 to 1883. W. Guerin bought the Pouyat Limoges factory in 1911.
Size: 11 3/4" W (three holes for hanging)
Condition: Excellent. No Chips, or Cracks.
Marked: Jean Pouyat Limoges (JPL France) 1891 Double-Stamp Factory Decorated with "Hand Painted"
(For references see:Mary Gaston's Encyclopedia of Limoges China; Marks on German, Bohemian, & Austrian Porcelain 1710-present)

Kabakov is the Beckett of the art world, creating silences and divorcing himself from the cackle.

Re: getting a 3rd jack russellPosted by: Judy Churchfield
Posted on: May 19, 2002 at 18:38:55
In Reply to: getting a 3rd jack russell
: I had to put my female jack russell to sleep yesterday because of her aggression & biting. She was 4 1/2 years old & this has gone on for that lenghth of time. I tried everything with her from obiedience to dog therapy & prozac. I have just this week been to hospital for stitches. She also attacked my other 2 jack russells - one male - one female. All have been fixed & the other 2 are just happy to be here. I wanted to try to find her a good home - but with her history (it has gotten increasingly worse) that she is a permanant threat. It is killing me even though I know this was the right decision to make. She was my 1st baby & I am having a hard time wanting to even go near my remaining 2 dogs. It's not because I don't love them because that is so far from the truth.
: My question really is - I feel like I need to get another little girl. I do have a boy & girl now - the boy I have had since he was a baby & the other girl I adopted. I just need to get some advice on this. It is extremely emotional for me & I wanted to know which is better to get with 2 other jack russells?? I would prefer another girl. HELP!!
I think it would be best if you would hold off on getting another Jack Russell until you work through the grieving process. I know through experience that while you might have the desire to replace your dear departed pet, you'll need time to grieve & reflect before being able to welcome a new JR (with open heart) into your home.
I'm puzzled as to why you're having a hard time wanting to go near your remaining two dogs. They're just innocent bystanders and are most likely in need of comfort. Give them lots of hugs - and I'm sure they'll return the favor.

Golf: George Coetzee
Here comes George Coetzee, another South African comet poised to blaze a golfing trail. Last year it was his compatriot Branden Grace who claimed a first European Tour victory in January, then added three more. Don't be surprised to see 26-year-old Coetzee follow him into the winner's enclosure in 2013.
Typical of the breed, Coetzee emulated his hero Ernie Els in forgoing a serious talent for tennis to devote his career to golf. Four top 10 finishes in the closing seven tournaments of 2012 lifted him to 13th in the Race to Dubai table and into the world top 50 for the first time to secure his debut at the Masters in April.
The Pretorian combines attacking flair with fierce commitment. He was barely able to hold the club with his left hand in Dubai a year ago after trapping a finger in the door of his courtesy car, but he managed to complete all four rounds without a murmur.
Coetzee is acquiring judgement to go with cool cavalier instincts, which in his early days led him to go for everything. As a result, his driving accuracy and greens in regulation have shot up during his three seasons on tour.

"AJ McCarron may never date again." So wrong. By next year he will have a new GF because this one would have moved on to bigger fish. They seem mismatched and she does not complement him at all career wise. She left him behind the minute the cameras panned on her but he does not know it yet. Her search for fame post Ms America is probably one sided considering his reaction to her newfound fame. Unlike the Bradys who were well established and sawn their oats before they got hitched, this couple is in for a ride.
Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 1/21/13
The girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron may have had another change of heart, and is now choosing her modeling career over being just the girlfriend of a National Champion. The New York Post is reporting that Webb an Alabama native and soon to be Sports Illustrated cover girl plans to make a permanent move to New York City. The paper is reporting that while Webb was in town last week for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition photo shoot, the model was overheard telling fans that she is planning a permanent move. Webb who garnered instant fame after ESPN commentator Brent Musburger ogled over her, had previously said she had no interest in the fame, and just wanted to move back to Alabama to be with Tide quarterback and boyfriend AJ McCarron. No word on how the move will impact Webb and McCarron's relationship. McCarron was previously not pleased that his woman overshadowed the Tide's accomplishments. McCarron was also returning to Alabama for his Senior season and a defense of the National Title. AJ McCarron may never date again.

When the fire department couldn't locate the cat on Friday, Hyndman decided to go it alone on Saturday and called WPBF. A large chain to make noise and Gyllenhaal waiting on the other end of the drain scared the little guy right into his hands

That looks like a pretty awesome piece... I'm assuming (or at least it looks like) it might be similar to resque for redis? Can you re-kick failed tasks? I don't use Delayed::Jobs, so I have no where I can plug in quickly.
@jancel yes, that's what the last part is about (sidebar and member_action).
It assumes that the workers are running properly (it only re-schedules the task to "right now"). But by default, Delayed::Job retries 20 times with exponential re-scheduling. My retry is simplistic in that it doesn't try to address the case where the max amount of retries is already reached.
It would also be possible to force the task to be performed in-request. That would make sense for an admin trying to fix the task and not minding that the email is going to happen in-request, for example.
That would look like
job.handler.perform, iirc. But there's potential issues with that. The objects are serialized with YAML and if something fancier than pure Ruby or basic Rails classes are in there, you'd need to require them in the controller. I didn't wanna get into that. I don't need it yet.
And all of that niceness is just ActiveAdmin itself. I have no merit for that :-) I only picked the order in which the fields made most sense to be viewed.
That's great. For the permalink, try out:
ActiveAdmin.register Delayed::Job, :as => "Job" do
Glad to know it works well for you :-)

Hello. This looks great. I keep getting this message though: "undefined method `per_page_kaminari' for []:ActiveRecord::Relation"
I'm using will_paginate in the app. I added the kaminari.rb initializer in the documentation. All the other pages work fine, but not this one. For some reason the config file seems to be ignored here.
Any ideas?
rails (3.2.11)
activeadmin (0.5.1)
kaminari (>= 0.13.0)
@alesthome and @kylemacey,
modify your kaminari.rb initialiser like this:
if defined?(WillPaginate)
module WillPaginate
module ActiveRecord
module RelationMethods
def per(value = nil) per_page(value) end
def total_count() count end
module CollectionMethods
alias_method :num_pages, :total_pages
@amoulpujari, the code assumes you are using the default admin namespace. If you've changed config.default_namespace in your active_admin initialiser, you'll need to change the routes accordingly.
Strange, this just isn't working in our setup - I get "You are not authorized to perform this action." and it doesn't appear in the menu... struggling to see why!
If I change 'Delayed::Job' to one of our other models it works fine, seems like it might not be able to find the model for some reason.
Very nice, thank you,
I've forked it and added 2 scopes that allow you to easily see the failed and completed jobs
