/* The Y combinator in Swift!

For a discussion of what the heck this is all about, see http://www.ece.uc.edu/~franco/C511/html/Scheme/ycomb.html

The nifty thing is that it allows us to implement recursion without the ability for a function to refer to itself from within its own definition. 

Note how we manage a recursive definition of factorial without any function referring to its own name.

Thanks to @eridius for help with the SelfToUnderlying<T> type.

Greetings, NSHipsters!

As we prepare to increment our NSDateComponents -year by 1, it's time once again for NSHipster end-of-the-year Reader Submissions! Last year, we got some mind-blowing tips and tricks. With the release of iOS 7 & Mavericks, and a year's worth of new developments in the Objective-C ecosystem, there should be a ton of new stuff to write up for this year.

Submit your favorite piece of Objective-C trivia, framework arcana, hidden Xcode feature, or anything else you think is cool, and you could have it featured in the year-end blowout article. Just comment on this gist below!

Here are a few examples of the kind of things I'd like to see:

• Using NSStringFromSelector(@selector()) as a safer way to do KVC / KVO / NSCoding.
• Panic's [rather surprising discovery about the internals of the Lightning Digital AV Adapter](http://www.panic.com/blog/the-lightning-di

HTTP transfer protocols
=======================

Git supports two HTTP based transfer protocols.  A "dumb" protocol
which requires only a standard HTTP server on the server end of the
connection, and a "smart" protocol which requires a Git aware CGI
(or server module).  This document describes both protocols.

As a design feature smart clients can automatically upgrade "dumb"
protocol URLs to smart URLs.  This permits all users to have the
