To support the table of contents button in the OS X Help Book app you need to implement the following code. This isn't documented anywhere but I found it in Apple's own help files and tested it to work. I believe it only works in the more recent versions of OS X, so you if your app supports really old versions you might want to check it.
//disable TOC button
window.HelpViewer.showTOCButton(false);
//enable TOC button
//If you call this on window load it will flash active for a brief second and then disable again.
//Call if after a delay of 250ms and is works fine
//Not sure what the second variable does yet, but passing false works fine
window.HelpViewer.showTOCButton( true, false, function() {
//do something to toggle TOC in your webpage
});
import UIKit
import XCPlayground
class ViewController: UIViewController {
func action() { print("Bing!") }
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .whiteColor()

Small utility methods to simplify dealing with Reusable items i.e. table/collection view cells
//`UITableViewCell` and `UICollectionViewCell` are `Reusable` by defaut
//Use the extension method to dequeue an instance of the appropriate `Reusable`
class MyVC: UITableViewDataSource {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView
.registerReusable(FooCell.self)
.registerReusable(BarCell.self)
}

What I think is wrong with the Spark Recording Circle code and why

There was [a tweet][tweetSoto] a couple of days ago that resulted in a discussion/question about what it wrong with the usage of removedOnCompletion = NO in the [SparkRecordingCircle code][code] for that [Subjective-C post][post].

We all kept saying that the explanation doesn't fit in a tweet, so here is my rough explanation about the issues.

But, let me first say that I think that the Subjective-C articles are reallt cool and useful to learn from. This is trying to reason about the general usage of removedOnCompletion = NO, using that code as an example, since that was what was discussed on twitter.


The root problem, as [Nacho Soto pointed out][rootProblem], is that removedOnCompletion = NO in combination with fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards is almost always used when you are not updating the model layer. This means that after the animation has finished, what you see on screen is not reflected in the property of the layer. The biggest issue that this can cause is that all the
