If they're using the same code base for their 32-bit vs 64-bit versions, the int declaration for session ID should be the same on both versions.
Not if they declared the id as a C int or a Cocoa NSInteger. Both these types are 32 bits in Clang/gcc 32 bit code and 64 bit in Clang/gcc 64 bit code.
Or, if they are using Swift, the Swift Int type (which Apple tells you to prefer in most circumstances) is 32 bits wide in 32 bit code and 64 bits wide in 64 bit code. In my opinion, as somebody who likes programming in Swift, this was a real WTF decision.
as I understand it owners of 32-bit iOS devices would've had to update their software by downloading the patch directly from chess.com. No auto-update via the App Store anymore for 32-bit apps.
I doubt that. There are still quite a lot of 32 bit only iOS devices around. App developers have got to be able to issue patches for their 32 bit software and the only way to do that is through the app store.
Interesting analysis, but mostly wrong. I agree with this bit:
putting decisions of this scale to a binding popular vote with a simple majority is a suicidal move because people aren't really that well informed on complex matters like the role of the Union
However, support for Brexit really hasn't softened that much. If it was the reason why people voted against the Tories, the Lib Dems who campaigned on a platform of stopping Brexit would have done much better.
Going into this election, the Conservatives had a 25 point lead in the opinion polls. It vanished entirely because Theresa May ran such a terrible campaign. She didn't turn up to the leadership debate. She advocated lifting the ban on fox hunting. She campaigned for "strong and stable" but was caught off guard when people pointed out that, as Home Secretary, she presided over a reduction in police numbers. Basically, in this campaign, she came across as a horrible person who doesn't care about ordinary British people.
No, the UK really isn't the reason why the EU didn't work well (except actually, I think it does work quite well). The Greece crisis , for example, was caused by putting idealism ahead of practicality. The Greeks were allowed to lie about their fiscal position because France wanted the "mother of democracy" in the Euro.
You do realise that all this announcement means is that you won't be able to sell the 32 bit version of your app through the Apple app store. You'll still be able to sell it through other channels.
And honestly, building for 64 bit only allows you to jettison so much ancient cruft, you should be pleased. ARC and the non fragile ABI are worth it by themselves.
Only the first two books in the Dune series are not borefests. The first book, in particular, was written as a stand alone novel AFAIK, in much the same way as The/Matrix works best as a stand alone film.
The USA with 5% of the World's population generates 15% of the World's anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Damned right it owes the World something.
Also, in what way is the USA super successful? It's got the most guns. Wow. How about providing its citizens with a half way decent healthcare system. Even here in the UK we have managed that.
Power dissipation in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current P = I^2R, where P is power, I is current and R is resistance. The current is proportional to the potential difference. If you apply 12V across a 12 ohm resistor, the current will be 1A and the power loss will be 12 watts. If you apply 48V across the same resistor, the current will be 4A and the power 16W.
Of course, if you have a 1A fuse in series, it will blow long before you get to 4A, but it works by overheating and melting which is not an instantaneous process and your iPhone might already be a goner nd might already have started a fire.
The UK government has almost certainly been extremely successful at stopping terrorist attacks since 7/7/2005. The trouble is, we only get to hear about the relatively few failures. There is no need to panic and put draconian measures in place, but the government will panic fuelled by the media. It's so depressing.
The IRA could easily have done something like 9/11. It's not like it was that hard at the time to take over a plane and fly it into a building. There are two reasons why they didn't which both stem from the fact that their motives were political, not ideological.
Firstly, they never did suicide attacks. The IRA perceived themselves as soldiers fighting for a cause, not jihadis fighting for God. Consequently, there were no IRA suicide attacks. 9/11 would have been impossible if you had to factor in an escape plan for the perpetrators.
Secondly, (and admittedly this didn't always apply) they had a concept of enemy combatants and civilians. As a rule their attacks were targeted at the system that prevented a united Ireland (police officers, politicians, soldiers) or causing disruption rather than deaths. If they planted a bomb targeted at civilian areas, they normally sent a warning to the police.
Also, let's not forget that they several times got close to "centres of power". They successfully murdered a British MP in the House of Commons car park, they slaughtered a troop of mounted ceremonial cavalry in Hyde Park, they murdered a relative of the Queen and they came close to assassinating the prime minister and many important cabinet ministers at a party conference.
The British court ruled that the crime of which Assange was accused, constituted rape. They made no evaluation on whether Assange was guilty tor not. That would be for the Swedish courts to decide.
Whatever you think about the merits of the case that Sweden had, Assange clearly took it seriously because he did a runner. He obviously had no confidence that he could defend the charges.

Oops. I meant long, not int. long is 32 bits / 64 bits, not int which is 32 bits on both platforms.

Don't you have a car? What do you buy to make it go, who sells it to you and which side of the "debate" are they on?

Yes but do you know why Labour had a 25 point deficit? Jeremy Corbyn.
Jeremy Corbyn is fucking useless. His only positive point was that his opponent in this election turned out to be even more fucking useless.
So what you are saying is the Mac version of your app is a lazy piece of shit with a crapy Win32 UI.
You do realise that all this announcement means is that you won't be able to sell the 32 bit version of your app through the Apple app store. You'll still be able to sell it through other channels.

Obligatory XKCD etc etc etc.
Bitcoin did crash in 2014. It went from $1,000 to $200 in a few weeks.
Yes it's recovered, but how many of those millionaires converting their coins to real currency would it take to cause it to crash again?
There's no way you could allow humans near a 20kV supply.
Wouldn't you be to blame for hiring somebody not competent in the first place?

Um, no.

There is no cloud, there's just somebody else's computer.
BA does have its own redundant infrastructure.
Whatever they are saying, this was not a simple hardware failure. Most likely something like somebody fubarred their internal DNS or something.

Actually, the current government in the UK polled far less than 50% of the vote in the 2015 election. Most people didn't vote for them.
There only was a peace process because the IRA were losing.

Yes because everybody knows he could have used a regular expression.
The British court ruled that the crime of which Assange was accused, constituted rape. They made no evaluation on whether Assange was guilty tor not. That would be for the Swedish courts to decide.

It was only £12 million up to the point where the police scaled back their surveillance in 2015.
What are his civil rights under Ecuador law?
What would concern me most is that the person who made that post apparently does not know what a union is. There is no union in his example.
