Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

Swift Programming Language Guide
"A Swift Tour" Solutions
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/GuidedTour.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014097-CH2-XID_1
These are the solutions to all the "experiments" in the pre-release Swift Programming Guide
(released on the same day Apple announced Swift). A couple of things worth noting:
1. Swift syntax, e.g. array declarations, has changed since I releasd these. So this code will
probably cause some errors when you paste it into a playground. Should be easy enough to fix

Why Semantic Versioning Isn't

Spurred by recent events (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8244700), this is a quick set of jotted-down thoughts about the state of "Semantic" Versioning, and why we should be fighting the good fight against it.

For a long time in the history of software, version numbers indicated the relative progress and change in a given piece of software. A major release (1.x.x) was major, a minor release (x.1.x) was minor, and a patch release was just a small patch. You could evaluate a given piece of software by name + version, and get a feeling for how far away version 2.0.1 was from version 2.8.0.

But Semantic Versioning (henceforth, SemVer), as specified at http://semver.org/, changes this to prioritize a mechanistic understanding of a codebase over a human one. Any "breaking" change to the software must be accompanied with a new major version number. It's alright for robots, but bad for us.

SemVer tries to compress a huge amount of information — the nature of the change, the percentage of users that wil

ndb.Model - migrating properties like a boss

ndb.Model - migrating properties like a boss

The problem

Consider following model:

class X(ndb.Model):
    prop1 = ndb.StringProperty()
    prop2 = ndb.StringProperty()
