Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching Web URLs
The regex patterns in this gist are intended only to match web URLs -- http,
https, and naked domains like "example.com". For a pattern that attempts to
match all URLs, regardless of protocol, see: https://gist.github.com/gruber/249502

A composable pattern for pure state machines with effects (draft v3)

A composable pattern for pure state machines with effects

State machines are everywhere in interactive systems, but they're rarely defined clearly and explicitly. Given some big blob of code including implicit state machines, which transitions are possible and under what conditions? What effects take place on what transitions?

There are existing design patterns for state machines, but all the patterns I've seen complect side effects with the structure of the state machine itself. Instances of these patterns are difficult to test without mocking, and they end up with more dependencies. Worse, the classic patterns compose poorly: hierarchical state machines are typically not straightforward extensions. The functional programming world has solutions, but they don't transpose neatly enough to be broadly usable in mainstream languages.

Here I present a composable pattern for pure state machiness with effects,

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

/**
Provides the ability to verify key paths at compile time.
If "keyPath" does not exist, a compile-time error will be generated.
Example:
// Verifies "isFinished" exists on "operation".
NSString *key = SQKeyPath(operation, isFinished);
// Verifies "isFinished" exists on self.

New stuff from WWDC 2015

Here's my own list of the interesting stuff announced during this year's WWDC, collected from the keynotes, various Apple docs, blog posts and tweets.

If you're planning to watch the videos, I really recommend this Mac app that helps you download and watch them: https://github.com/insidegui/WWDC.

LastPass Pwned Passwords checker

LastPass Pwned Passwords checker

This is a script for checking if any of the passwords you have stored in LastPass have been exposed through previous data breaches.

To use the script you need to have Python 3 installed and you need a CSV export of your LastPass vault. The export can be generated from the LastPass CLI with:

lpass export > lastpass.csv

or can be extracted with the browser plugin by going to the LastPass icon → More Options → Advanced → Export → LastPass CSV File (note that I did have problems getting this to work).
