Swift doesn't have a GC and you can use it to program like C with malloc and free via UnsafeMutablePointer<T>. IIRC, Swift's runtime is like C++'s with v-table lookup for dispatch on functions that do not involve Object

The idea that Miami will be gone in 20 years and not 200 is a ridiculous one. I live here on an island by the sea, I guess that doesn't make me a geotechtonista but it gives me some perspective other people in their basements in middle

I have been in and out of depression and obsessive isolation. The one thing that gets me through the hell that comes with it is my ability to (eventually) reach out to my friends and family. If you're ever feeling like you can't g

Yes, It's different for everyone. I didn't mean to accuse of being one of those people, I was speaking generally there. I'm sorry if my phrasing was bad. My main concern is that people are scared to admit they use the best, b

I actually intend for my private data to die with me. I have gone out of my way to guarantee that it will. In my view, if I haven't published it, then it shouldn't be accessible. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I have simply al

LinkedIn is a great example of how your platform can be useful to people in spite of a horrible UI, bad infrastructure, and grossly inconsistent user experience. I swear the amount of times I wasn't sure if I actually accepted or sent

I'm not sure where you can justify inferring that extra information. From what you've described, the context simply doesn't exist outside of your mind.

I can think of several areas where Java support for tooling is unobviously superior when compared to C++. The SDK for the Arduino is good example, so is the Unreal game engine, the tooling support in Xcode for iPhone Apps, the support for s

For an international corporation, in a global economy, a government is just another customer. They can and will sue, like an upset customer can, but will anyone go to jail for this? I'm actually not sure. The significant difference h

Encryption is either secure or it isn't. You can't have a middle ground. It's unfortunate that under rare, and very particular circumstances criminals can perhaps evade crimes because they have access encryption, but it'

Even more obvious is the notion that innocent civilians use encryption to protect themselves from mass survelence and needless data collection. Is the end goal no longer total information awareness? [0] Side note: that was a rather scathing
