# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.
#
# Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish
# to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to.
#
### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo"
### branches and tags.

    `arc4random_uniform` is very useful but limited to `UInt32`.
 
    This defines a generic version of `arc4random` for any type
    expressible by an integer literal, and extends some numeric
    types with a `random` method that mitigates for modulo bias
    in the same manner as `arc4random`.
 
    `lower` is inclusive and `upper` is exclusive, thus:

Two Level Type Erasing in Swift 3

Recently I converted a project of mine to Swift 3 (https://github.com/dtartaglia/XStreamSwift) and I had to deal with a problem that I couldn't find an answer for. This article is about the problem and the solution I discovered.

There are lots of articles on the web about type erasing in Swift, but all the ones I found only dealt with a single level. I will recap the concept quickly:
