As a developer of an iOS social network I have just implemented Age Range Verification. The article only mentions one flow for age verification, with iOS apps it can be done through iCloud in as little as 2 button taps and data is never shared with any 3rd party. support.apple.com/guide/iphone...

TIL you cannot animate an SF Symbol if it's inside a ToolBar. I found a video showing how it can be done if you do some wizardry using UIViewRepresentable. But no thanks. Sorry animations.

Historical data from Foursquare doesn't include show street address, just lat/long. A query to their API solves this via a lookup. For this prototype I'm only processing the first 20 entries (I have over 6000) because I haven't worked out rate-limiting yet to stay under their 50/second.

You need to register as a developer with Foursquare, but once you do this is all you need to get enough location data about a place to get lost for days. Requests are rate-limited to 50/sec, but that's significantly faster than MKReverseGeocoder lookups which as far as I can tell are 50/minute.

It was quite the show. I flew IAH to SEA last night and that storm drove us into Mexico before we could take a right and head north. Good luck with the kids today, hopefully they’re nappers. 😉

What part of Texas are you in? I believe I know the storm you’re talking about. We flew past this around the Midland area at 11pm or so.

While I was mostly sitting on my ass this week for @serversideswift.info, and enjoying every minute of it, my wife has been prepping to run her 50th marathon. She came up with the idea 10 years ago and will complete her goal today. @mycrzyprspctv.bsky.social

Leaving London. Airports in the US should adopt this boarding announcement policy from LHR. The frequency and volume of announcements in US airports is ludicrous.

The workshop day of the @serversideswift.info is a wrap. I learned a lot, learned that there is much more I do not know, but I know tomorrow will be a great official first day of the conference.

Hot take. Hyde Park might be more beautiful than Central Park. I don’t think anyone slayed a dragon in Central Park.
