Bad Ideas – Version 7,412

This is a bad idea.

New York (CNN Business)Cinderella Castle has sat silent for 116 days.

That’s how long Walt Disney World has closed its doors because of the coronavirus pandemic. On Saturday, Disney will welcome guests back to its flagship theme park in Orlando, Florida, and reopen a cornerstone of its business.
The Disney (DIS) resort plans to begin a phased reopening on Saturday for its Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom parks, followed by EPCOT and Hollywood Studios on July 15.
Although Disney is implementing several measures to reopen safely, the reopening of a dense theme park roughly the size of San Francisco comes with risks, questions and criticisms as cases are spiking in Florida.

Not in the way bad ideas could be like..”oh, well that was a mistake but at least no one got hurt.”

A bad idea in the form of “oh, shit! People are dying and we are helping to facilitate it.”

100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 6 – Closures

Probably one of my least favorite things.

It seems a bit ridiculous because I guess we’re just not using practical examples. I don’t see where I would ever want to use these.

I’m just clicking through the quizzes and that it terrible but that is how enthusiastic I feel about closures.

This is a lesson that I couldn’t wait to get through.

Tomorrow is Structs and I actually like those.

100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 5 – Functions

Variadic is a new term for me. The ability to pass many things into your function by using…

func square(numbers: Int…) {
for number in numbers {
print(“\(number) squared is \(number * number)”)
{
{

square(numbers: 1,2,3,4,5)

1 squared is 1
2 squared is 4
3 squared is 9
4 squared is 16
5 squared is 25

This is something I haven’t used before but I might in the future.

Project Consolidate

I am working on pulling all of my websites into one place. It will have a name that makes more sense than chipheadmike.com. The only reason that anyone knows what that means is because I told them.

This new website is more like a journal for me and less about someone reading about me on the web.

The new site will be based on my name. I have a database issue to contend with but once that is complete, I plan on having the new site up and running this weekend. If the database doesn’t cooperate, it could be a bit longer.

I am NOT transferring all of my books over to the new site manually.

More to come.
