Spain was a fascist country until the 80s.... they have their own agenda, and not a role model of human rights. (i.e. Catalonia independence, where they put the elected leaders of the region in jail or exile just two years ago).

With that mentality, If you think hard, almost everything we do apart from food and shelter can be considered 'superflous'. -- Watching movies? Waste of time -- Playing Video Games - Rotting your brain -- Watching sports for fun

Yup... I liked the old one much better. My guess, over time, they will fix the issues, but that's the typical hickups of a framework that is still too immature. It took Swift (the language) about 6-7 years to mature up. I think the l

Awesome article. SwiftUI is still 'not there yet'. It makes the easier things, much easier compared to UIKit. But, as soon as you get to more advanced views, it shows its immaturity. I know Apple is pushing it, and at some poin

mods are not the ones creating the information. It is community driven. I have contributed a lot of info, in various subreddit, and I don't want to see it go dark. Mods never asked for permission form the actual redditors on their dec

Sorry... but this was handled very poorly by reddit and its CEO. Should have just disabled the 'go private' option. A subreddit, is not 'owned' or property of a moderator. Eg, https://www.reddit.com/r&#

It is a good addition. CoreData, is ok, but is not really used from serous apps. At least, none of the large ones that I have worked on. Either use flat files (serialized json) to save and restore state, or just Sqlite directly.

You probably work at Meta. I am same age (over 40). If you are E6+, you have more lean-way on what type of projects you pick. Make sure to switch teams if you are not happy with your current situation/org, and make sure to get a goo

The HBO MAX (aka just MAX now) in PS4 is just a disaster. Can't play videos anymore, as it gets stuck on a infinite loop in the intro of every movie. It the remaining time is displayed as a negative integer, and for some reason the sy

1 - based indexing is superior when thinking about actual collections, and not memory pointers. Most regular folks think of '1' index based. Eg. Most elevators (at least in NYC) start at floor 1, not 0. Once they start CS/

Criss Latner made a huge disservice to the iOS community. While the intentions were good (build a modern language), it completely failed to the 'it is easy and fun to use'. Had a golden chance to build a next generation language

Not American, and I agree with mustacheempwror. Europe (mainly Germany and Hungary) trusting Putin was major blunder and mistake. This started with Koln, Schroeder, and eventually Merkel, which has a disastrous foreign policy track record.

Agreed. Swift has been such a disappointment in every department. If you took Objective-C, modernized the syntax (removing the old bracket syntax that scares new people away from it), and added some more functionality where it is missing (

Yes, but it is closed to Apple's app only. Android has something something similar, but they haven't released to the public. Meta is releasing it to everyone, so you can use it on your own apps/services. (and it is a great

Wrong country to hide. Montenegro is a Nato member, and a US ally, and will do whatever the US say. Dritan Abazovic (the prime minister) is himself half Albanian, half Montenegrin, and he is very pro western. You can't hide in pro US

CA is 60 days, NYC is 90, federal is 60 by default (WARN act). Most companies choose to lay you off, then give you 'severance' package/pay that is equal or more to those days.
