A quick check of the stories on the front page suggests this is the case; editorial content and news covering yesterday's events is all /19 (today) whereas today's news and online content (for tomorrow's paper) is all /20 (tomorrow).

> Only numeric variables are supported (no strings, no matrices)

Basic.hpp defines LET as:

    #define LET double [1]

Perhaps this would allow for a broader range of types, seen as C++11 is being used:

    #define LET auto

Their about page lists the licenses for several native iOS libraries (AFNetworking, etc) which suggests it is mostly native.

Over the years it seems there have been a fair few 'Hacker News for X' (see https://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/forever/prefix/0/hacker%20ne...). Presumably each time people implement the whole site from scratch (users, commenting, ranking, etc). Have there ever been any open-source attempts at creating a generic Hacker News style site that people could self host for specific topics? The only thing that I can think of is self-hosting your own copy of reddit.

OP: There's a typo in the title for ReadKit:

(should read RSS).

What's more, you can't get the current properties of the interface objects (e.g. the position on screen, or text content). You can only write to them: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documenta....

> Also you can use smart pointers to do automatic garbage collection.

Not quite. Smart pointers do automatic reference counting, which doesn't use a garbage collector.

For iOS developers that want to use the new PDF image catalogs in Xcode 6 (which automatically generate the @1x, @2x and @3x images so you don't have to add them individually) I have forked the repository and added them at https://github.com/programmingthomas/material-design-icons.

Steve Jobs blogged on Apple's main site https://www.apple.com/hotnews/, including the famous Thoughts on Flash article https://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/.

Objective-C uses Automatic Reference Counting (Garbage Collection has been deprecated - and ARC works a lot better than the GC implementation), and as Swift had to uses Objective-C's memory model it must also use ARC.

Furthermore, Apple did bring up a slide during the Platform State of the Uniform (slide 56 in the PDF) saying source compatibility wouldn't be guaranteed (but that converters would be provided) because the language will evolve. I can't imagine that they'll introduce dramatic changes that will break code generated by PaintCode, but it would be a pain if you have to completely regenerate your all rendering code with each update to Xcode/Swift.

The old Apple headphones were average (for their price), but overall the newer EarPods are much, much better.

Apple also uses a similar strategy with the iPhone. The iPhone 4 and 5 both made major form changes (retina display and screen shape) whereas the 4S and 5S were focussed on refinement (faster CPU, 64-bit CPU respectively). It has also been noted (possibly on the Accidental Tech Podcast, or somewhere similar) that a 'tick' year for the phone tends to be a 'tock' year for iOS and vice versa; iOS 5 and iOS 7 (released with the 4S and 5S respectively) were bigger changes than iOS 4 and 6.

A lot of old articles (some as early as 2011) have been popping up in the popular list on BBC News. In the past this had been due to it suddenly being shared on social networks although I can recall one occasion when it displayed a list of the most popular articles from exactly one month before.

These standards don't just cover 'word documents', they also cover other Office types for spreadsheets and presentations. HTML+CSS is a terrible idea for a spreadsheet standard.
