Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

iOS Cell Registration & Reusing with Swift Protocol Extensions and Generics

A common task when developing iOS apps is to register custom cell subclasses for both UITableView and UICollectionView. Well, that is if you don’t use Storyboards, of course.

Both UITableView and UICollectionView offer a similar API to register custom cell classes:

public func register(_ cellClass: AnyClass?, forCellReuseIdentifier identifier: String)
public func register(_ nib: UINib?, forCellReuseIdentifier identifier: String)

Option 1

Modify your Vagrantfile to pass ANSIBLE_ARGS

config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
   ansible.playbook = "dev.yml"
   # Etc
   ansible.raw_arguments = Shellwords.shellsplit(ENV['ANSIBLE_ARGS']) if ENV['ANSIBLE_ARGS']
end

Powerlevel10k can generate the same prompt as Pure.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>! ~/.zshrc

	# The trick is to link the DeviceSupport folder from the beta to the stable version.
	# sudo needed if you run the Mac App Store version. Always download the dmg instead... you'll thank me later :)

	# Support iOS 15 devices (Xcode 13.0) with Xcode 12.5:
	sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/15.0 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

	# Then restart Xcode and reconnect your devices. You will need to do that for every beta of future iOS versions

	# (A similar approach works for older versions too, just change the version number after DeviceSupport)

	extension Sequence where Iterator.Element == String {

	}
	}
