Super Blood Wolf Moon?' Now We're Just Making Shit Up

Seriously - the "Super Blood Wolf Moon" is bullshit. Not science. Not News for Nerds. (The idea of a "Super Moon" was invented by an astrologer for $DIETY's sake!)

This is the next chance to see something really rare. a full moon with no adjectives whatsoever!

No Blood, Silver, Wolf, Super, Mega, Harvest, Pink, Ultra Blue or even Wombat Moon.

I think it’s being labelled as a ‘Normal’ moon.

I've never used Swift, let's see what the code samples on wikipedia look like...

var str = "hello,"

str += " world"

---

let myValue = anOptionalInstance?.someMethod()

---

let leaseStart = aBuilding.TenantList[5].leaseDetails?.startDate

---

        guard let leaseStart = aBuilding.TenantList[5]?.leaseDetails?.startDate else { //handle the error case where anything in the chain is nil //else scope must exit the current method or loop

        }

---

protocol SupportsToString {

        func toString() -> String

}

extension String: SupportsToString {

        func toString() -> String {

                return self

        }

}

---

func !=(lhs: T, rhs: T) -> Bool

Ahh yes, it's very clear how Swift is so much less "geeky" than other languages like C# or Java! I'm sure a student looking at it for the first time would instantly realize how much better it is instead of saying "that's not for me"!

Swift always looks to me like C# run through Apple’s legal department.

Aple’s mian problem is that their framework sucks.
