Internet is so crowded these days, the competition is so fierce that people are becoming parodies of themselves.

Is that more or less than normal?

Watching a fireplace is relaxing, watching a video of a fireplace is extremely depressing

Why would you want a virtual fireplace?

Of all the things I've ever wanted to be different on my macbook, removable batteries have never been one of them. Now when battery life exceeds a (long) working day, why on earth would anyone want this? The very few times you will be

Really cool, I wish it was available for Mac! One thing, I think it would look nicer if it waited until the sand settled before remove a "row".

Clearly, people that don’t appreciate my work must be misguided. I feel sorry for them more than anything…

Manual labor is not just about getting physical exercise. I go to the gym every day and take it very seriously, but it’s a different thing. Just like doing sudoku can’t take the place of an intellectually stimulating job.

Of course it makes sense, if you know anything about that program, or society. If you don’t, well then it doesn’t, hut that seems pretty obvious.

Sure, obviously PPE is the gold standard. But we’re not talking about education here, but occupation.

Going to the gym is pretty different from doing manual labour, it's not really a solution.

That's my dream, to take a normal job. I hope to one day be able to afford working on construction sites, laying railroad or something meaningful. Or even going back to washing dishes in a crazy Tokyo restaurant. Status wise, I'm

I’ve been using swift full time since 2014, before that i was using objective c full time. I assure you that swift is a huge improvement for iOS and mac development, and the statistics shoe pretty clearly that this is also the consensus. So

Normal is a cultural concept.

by Grustaf 3y ago
This is more nature than culture though.

It's obviously not astroturfing since it's a statement from Apple themselves. Astroturfing, if we were talking politics, would be if Apple secretly funded swift user groups across the world to make it appear that people liked the

Protocols replace many uses of OO from objc, making code much easier to understand. In addition, swift protocols are much more powerful in almost every way.

Swift is an amazing improvement over objective c and I don’t think there are any languages out there that are obviously superior for the use case. The only people i ever hear complain are objc diehards and general apple haters.

If you look at C++ and then look at Swift I think you will understand why they didn't make C++ the main language.

by Grustaf 3y ago
What makes you say that? I don't think you can find many developers that would be willing to go back to Objective C.

Which part of the statement are you disputing? It's clearly a very successful language, with a strong community.

Even if it was a 100% Apple language, that would still be quite relevant. Apple's devices are pretty pervasive, especially among the well off.

It seems quite natural that it’s easier to interpret correctly written English than language that contains mistakes. Does anyone find this controversial?

Sure, but some corporations take a long term view and sacrifice short term profits in order to ensure that they can keep making money for a long time. And some companies, like Apple, forego short term profits from e.g. selling customer data

Call it what you want but Apple has a very high level of trust

The uniqueness is not in hardware it’s in trust. And the ability to make software for normal human beings.

While you could certainly argue that “words mean what people think they mean”, that is not a reason to use words in ways that are CURRENTLY considered wrong, especially not in a lexicon. If you want to change the meaning of a word, that’s f
