I see this "fake tom cruise" serie of video a lot on youtube (probably the same guy, because it's the same voice and same height). It's so perfect it made me wonder if the guy's isn't already a tom cruise looka

you would be surprised by how much work an e2e chat application with the quality of whatsapp requires. Doing a crappy chat app, yes sure that's easy. But one that works as reliably, with the general performance of whatsapp ? Even with

i fail to see the reasonning. History has proven that revenue is very orthogonal to technological perfection ( unfortunately for the amateurs of good engineering that we are here on HN). Trying to assess the performance of the engineering

telegram isn't e2e (at least by default) and it doesn't support all the java phones whatsapp does ( not sure if whatsapp still do though). But most of all, it was created much much later, after all the patterns and techniques have

"French culture is whatever happens in France" This sounds to me as a bit tautological. If we move 200 millions from china in 1 month, you wouldn't say "french culture is about eating rice, and french people generally lo

i've always wished someone did a study on the usage of cocaïne among politician and the impact it had on their policies. I suspect a lot of overreacting, impulsive and careless decisions were taken while under influence.

Chris lattner had very clearly stated objectives for the language, and at some point cross-platform swift was a real possibility : at the time when a few server framework were created and when people at google were using it. Why this never

Except the end-result of that policy is that 90% (made up number) of the app on the store are made with cross-platform tools, because very few can afford 1/ learning a language just for one platform 2/ not reusing any code at al

not sure you understood my point. I rely on immediate cognitive understanding of what "french" means. It's a mix of the way you dress, your body features (yes, skin color is one of them obviously but that's far from the

i know, it's just completely delusional. Thinking that a programming language can thrive in a walled garden is insane. They've been burned by this in the past with objc, i don't understand how they can try again.

the worst isn't mentioned : not only is swiftui causing all kinds of glitches of it own, but despite being a brand new framework, it still locks you 100% to apple devices. I mean, i had hoped that with a declarative UI apple would at l

Agree with you on all points, but especially on enums. The most surprising thing to me, is that typed enums look super orthogonal to all the other features of the language, look quite « easy » to add and certainly won’t make the language mo

I believe the only argument left is that erlang /OTP provide all of those in a single cohesive environment.

yeah, same here. I'm also curious to see what the average quality is like, compared to those hand-picked ones.

i'd say key exchange. You need to get key information and message in the correct order orelse you won't be able to decode the info. Now of course you can reimplement an ordering mechanism on top of an unordered one, with lost mess

You'd be surprised. Since we seem to have moved to ad-hominem argumentation : I think your categories and your political reflexes prevent you from thinking straight. Everybody in the world would have a broad understanding of what &quot

i don't get the comments : the article says that flutter is alive and thriving, yet the comments speak of the tech as something soon to be dead.

may i ask where you have lived and travelled in france ? Have you ever been to any suburb, not just in Paris ( which already has some suburbs with close to 99% non-french inhabitants) but in pretty much any average sized city in the country

symbolic gestures constitute a large part of the fabric of society. Saying "thank you" to someone doesn't provide any value, yet you do it, and people appreciate it.
