I think if you're trying to use the shell for something other than some basic program launch glue, you are doing it wrong. In C, readdir returns a perfectly usable struct dirent * with no parsing issues to worry about. Python also prov

Yes, you are right of course. I really just meant that "in practice" the growth of the string length (m) varies independently and common cases behave more like O(n) than O(n^2). Also that naive search is probably heavily optimized

O(m*n) is not the same as O(n^2).

I dislike Android as much as the next guy, but you have to do some extra work to make UITableViews perform well in iOS as well.

You cherry-picked a bunch of old quotes from last year that don't accurately represent any of the people quoted. "It’s a great time to be an iOS developer." Marco Arment, June 6, 2014

Because it sounds like a witch hunt with an added smell of entrapment instead of due process.

This is blogspam (it's some joint Yahoo/Business Insider bullshit). The New York Times published a profile of Tim Cook which is the real content http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/15/technology/tim-

I read the article as being in the context of Objective-C bugs that were solved by Swift.

@Override is optional in Java. All it does is validate that a superclass method with the same signature exists. It doesn't work in the other direction. This doesn't compile with Swift: class A { func foo() {

store.apple.com sells Logitech mice and keyboards. You can just right click with a mouse in OS X, even on an Apple Magic Mouse, though it does need to be enabled in preferences.

Java's performance relative to other commonly used languages is very good. It's basically been at 2-3x slower than C/C++ for quite a while.

That quicksort one-liner that you often see for Haskell is crap.

I think mpweiher's point was that in normal Objective-C applications, the fact that message sending is slow is irrelevant. Yes, it is slower than a C function call, but it's rare that it is an issue in real code. When it was a pro

No, the point is to ease application development.

Do you have an application where message sending is a performance bottleneck?

I found out that Windows Excel and Mac OS Excel use different character encodings for CSV.

I know, but that isn't a realistic option since it's not a public API and therefore not something you should use in a production application.

You can't get the JSContext of a UIWebView though, which is a big hole.

The only good book on Cray I've found is he Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray and the Technical Wizards Behind the Supercomputer by Murray. Besides two or three videos, The Supermen, and tangentially related books about the history o

Ghostery used to enable "Ghostrank" by default which is analytics they sell to advertisers. I think it may be off by default now, but it's at least an appearance of impropriety to me.

The fact that so many problems with Wikipedia articles have been found really undermines the entire thesis of this terrible article.
