The propaganda onslaught is unparalleled. Ukraine is painted as heaven on Earth, a beacon of democracy. McFaul even suggested that Putin essentially "hated Ukraine because it was free". In reality Ukraine is even more corrupt than

It was a Bush related joke. But regarding what you wrote, Ukraine prospering doesn't seem very likely, it's much more corrupt than even Russia. Their GDP per capita is a third of Russia's, despite also having a wealth of raw

Not sure what you mean. I'm just saying that obviously if Ukraine joined Nato, they would get (even more) missiles. The US has been arming Ukraine for a long time already, to the tune of hundreds of millions every year. Trump's fi

They have discussed putting nuclear missiles in Sweden, who isn’t even a member. Plus the US has already been arming Ukraine, hasn’t it?

Because they wanted a modern language to power their platforms. Objective C is ancient, and showing it.

Clearly the answer is not "none", it's "almost everyone". The first Swift build tools beta was downloaded ELEVEN MILLION TIMES in the first month alone. I would be surprised if that is not some kind of record. And i

Only you know what's valuable to you, but since this is a public forum, it's a bit strange to be so categorical about your own highly subjective opinions. Why would anyone care about them? This sounds particularly deluded: > as

Yeah you'll fall, but just learn how to fall, especially don't break the fall with your hands! I broke by wrist first time I tried, at age 12. Since then I've never hurt myself badly while snowboarding.

As other have said, you won't fall skiing, and also, 32 is not old at all. There is no physical reason to be in worse shape when you're 32 than when you're 18. If you are, it's because you don't spend enough time do

People stay in college dorms for 3-4 years. And hopefully people don't stay in social housing dorms forever either, that would be a system failure regardless of the standard of the social housing.

You can run non-UI Swift on Android too if you want. I don't know who made that possible, but I also can't see why Apple would sponsor Android app development, seems completely counter to their interests.

That was never the purpose of Swift. It’s a practical programming language and in that capacity it’s a resounding success.

But is that different from using Kotlin on iOS?

This is a textbook example of what I meant by philosophers obsessed with purity. And it doesn't sound like you're actually following Swift Evolution. A) Most of what happens is done in public, only rarely do they hide stuff unti

I don't know about optimal, but I've been a Swift developer since day 1 and yet never heard anyone I know complain about Swift being to Apple centric. It's typically armchair philosophers online that have purity concerns, not

He seems to be changing companies quite often. Apple to Tesla to Google to his present employer, in a pretty short time.

Perhaps people thought it had a future because it's backed by one of the richest companies in history, who also happen to be producing the most popular consumer product in history, which incidentally runs on Swift?

I'd say at least 95% of Swift users don't mind at all that it's mostly an Apple language.

What you can “expect” when you pay the full price of something is not necessarily the same as what you should expect when you get something for free. If you work in Norway you “expect” at least €2-3000 in monthtly salary, but few people arg
