The article provides a comprehensive overview of Apple's App Site Association file, which is crucial for iOS developers implementing Universal Links in their apps. It breaks down how the file serves as a secure way to validate links between websites and apps, discusses how Apple's CDN operates, offers tips for debugging universal links, and explains how to track refresh times for Apple's AASA CDN cache.
Congrats on the success! I just started a newsletter - Indie Watch (http://indie.watch/) - that features cool apps built by indie iOS developers.
Would you mind if I featured your app in our first release?
Since it's our first release, I can't guarantee any results or conversions, but the mailing list has a few hundred people on it, so it couldn't hurt...
I've been working on a viewer for Github's Awesome lists to make them more useable. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.
With most of the lists being text based, it was hard to know if the repo it linked to was still being maintained and popular enough to safely use in personal projects.
Now anyone that uses my project can easily visualize all of the repos and query them to find projects that are still actively maintained.
When you say Mersenne-Twister isn't good enough, what are the other shortcomings apart from speed? It seems that even modern versions of Python are continuing to use it...
The homepage might come across as a a little overzealous (for example ChaCha quality listed as good rather than excellent), but generally has good points.
For example, for one of his arguments, he specifically chose a generator called pcg32_once_insecure, which the PCG author does not recommend due to its invertible output function!
Personally, I have read both arguments in detail and I would always use PCG or even a truncated LCG over xoshiro, which has a large size in comparison, potentially worse statistical properties, and no gain- faster in some benchmarks and slower in others.
Yeah, xor is simpler than multiplication in terms of hardware complexity- luckily, we have the multiplication circuits built in, so may as well take advantage of them.
