Almost 50. I laugh through the tears at fart sounds.
That "hairy" stuff is a straightforward use of GCD semaphores to signal when an animation has finished. I just spent 20 minutes reading up on GCD and dispatch_semaphore_wait(). This technique is elegant rather than…
"While we thought this was a fun, harmless comment poking fun ..." "Poking fun". Ha ha. That sounds like more brogrammer code to me. Probably RASCAL.
At least it was SOCA, not CHAOS or SPECTRE. Then we'd be in real trouble. Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?" Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."

This is one of the ideas put forward in Taleb's "Black Swan": by increasing your exposure to positive "Black Swan" events, you can improve your chances of being successful (with something). One way to increase your…
