I agree 100%, and that's the answer to OP statement - it's not enough to just wish that the market is different. Someone needs to put their money where their mouth is. Currently, the only company willing to bet enormous amount of

Is there any reference/confirmation for all of this? The fact that the author types "Swift" under quotes and doesn't know that refcount is something inherited from Objective C and the whole OS rely on it makes the rest o

I think that the real prize Epic is after is introduction of independent app stores. 30% tax is just a convenient vehicle they're using for that (not mentioning that they pay that tax on consoles without a word).

No, it's not. But a) for some reason, most vocal people are the one doesn't like any change at all (how many times we see posts and coments glorifying Windows 2000 ui as a pinnacle of UI design?) and b) this site become a copy of

Can we just say that the new iPhone 12 is $850, $830 if you don't want the charger, and finish with this nonsense? The amount of drama around $20 charger from people able & willing to pay premium product is astounding.

Steve Ballmer was a guy who restlessly milked two Microsoft cash cows (Windows and Office) to accommodate investors quarter after quarter. He didn't have a vision or courage to push Microsoft in some other direction, and my impression

I think that some of points are valid - especially the direct contact with the consumers. But the grand prize that Epic wants, the ability for anyone to put App store on iPhone, I hope that will never happen. I don't care about Epic,

I'm on my third MacBook Pro (the current one is MBP 16"), always used various external monitors (24" FullHD back in the day, recently mostly 27" 4k), with either mini DP, USB-C to mini DP, or USB-C with recent LG monitor

My impression is that most people doesn't even bother to learn the editing part of the IDE properly, and use it mostly like Notepad. Visual Studio editor have ton of shortcuts for faster moving and selecting, Visual Studio Code is even

ARM Macs means more ARM hardware in hands of developers. It means ARM Docker images that can be run on hardware on hand, and easier debugging (see https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=183440&curpost... ).

Honestly, what is a meaningful answer when someone blames language for problem with having two separate classes with the same name?

To be fair, Swift have a bit strange generics implementation that forces programmer to jumps through hoops to achieve something quite common in similar programming languages. The whole standard library is peppered with AnyThis and AnyThat,

Oh, bullshit. The shortage isn't because people are buying TP more often, the shortage is because a lot of people bought a lot of TP in short period of time. I don't live in US, and even if some morons here started hoarding TP, th

I spent three years making iOS programs in Swift, which uses Foo! and Foo?, and never, NEVER, missed question or exclamation mark. Even if I did, the compiler would complain.

If I'm not mistaken (I didn't worked in Swift for a while) Swift doesn't have proper generators. For each projection or filtering Swift will create a new array, while C#/Linq will use generators to make one really long s

Man, Mac users are the clumsiest beings on the World. Macs are what? Below 7% market share? And somehow 7%, based on constant whining, trips over their power cords much more than the silent 93% of the population. You have a computer with fo

Probably, but why? When every laptop had it's own proprietary charging cable, MagSafe was the best. But I'll take standard charging cable over proprietary every time. I don't feel any need for MagSafe and I don't want Ma
