This is a terrible idea. Understanding what's "underneath you" in the stack is a critical ability when things get complicated. In my experience, running the stack on your local machine as a developer gives you a huge boost in

Everything I've heard about the Pro display XDR's has been that all the things like USB/Thunderbolt connectivity are rock solid. This suggests Apple's display group has their goods together, and the Studio Display is lik

This is true, but not nearly so much as FP advocates make it out to be. Once you reach a halfway decent level of competence in any programming language, most of the bugs that you write will end up being ones where you didn't understand

A horrible person got deplatformed and they're all angry with the world. Companies get to decide how to run their platforms; if you don't like it, send your money to other horrible companies, or try and convince lawmakers that yo

The "legal" section talks about local scanning, and possible transmission of CSAM from devices to Apple, in pursuit of verification, however Apple have made clear that the scanning happens only for files that have been uploaded to

Let's all agree that yes, it's complicated and that Bitcoin interacts with fiat currency, and that SOME of bitcoin's energy waste could be attributed to external factors. That still leaves us with bitcoin being an environment

LOL Isn't the whole point of cryptocurrency to produce an alternative to the current financial system? Coinbase entering the traditional stock-market is a flat-out rejection of that; They're just another bank, except they trade in

The whole “serious language” thing is ridiculous. You are reading this on a web service originally developed using Paul Graham’s custom made-up dialect of LISP called ARC, which runs on top of Common Lisp. It’s pretty much as far away from

Agree, and I wouldn’t trade rails for a perf boost if I had to go to a horrible Java web stack (or a horrible C# web stack prior to .NET core) Right now though, the dev ergonomics and productivity of .NET core are not actually very far behi

I’m an ex rails dev (from about 2010, so a while back, but still) ASP.NET MVC (which is now ASP.NET Core) is a fairly carbon copy ripoff of what rails was back then. Initially I was annoyed about this; there were efforts to run Ruby on .NET

The policy here in New Zealand is that ALL travelers must quarantine in a managed facility for 14 days after arrival. COVID tests on day 3 and day 12. Reports have indicated that a fair number of people appear symptom free, but then test po

I don't mind that Apple curates the app store. I find it a useful service for stopping malware and stuff like that. I DO mind that Apple is forcing companies to give them a 30% revenue cut even when the companies fully comply with all

What I find works well is to use dependency inversion to mock things out within your code, but mock out the transport layer . I.e: If you have a "stack" like this: - Application - MainService - ApiService - HttpClient What you mi

I wouldn't be AT ALL surprised if Apple decides to break the kid/teen developers over this. People like the AltStore developer are why we can't have nice things.

That's a bit inflammatory... My experience with BA's is that they're like anyone else on a team. They are more skilled in certain areas, and they can provide a lot of value if their skills are used appropriately. I've fo

He referenced someone wanting to put a 2d graphics library into the standard library. That seems completely insane. IMHO, something should be in the standard library if a large class of programs would want to use it, and if a "lowest c

I think the "package count" is perhaps a bit of a red herring. IMHO the "publisher count" is more important. I don't care if there are 700 packages if they all come from the Apache Foundation. I trust the Apache fou

yep. In theory a dotnet project pulling in nuget packages is in the same class as a node project pulling in NPM packages. In practice, it's tremendously different. As mentioned, a do-nothing react app has 1500 dependencies, all manag

I don't understand the reason behind this example? It boils down to "I did a read-modify-write without a lock, now there is a bug". Of course there is! that's what locks are for! The swift value system and copy-on-write

Full disclaimer, Swift is my favourite language by a long shot and I'd love to use it everywhere, but it really is very complicated in some places. Consider, for example, the interaction between generics in structs and classes, and pro
