i'm not sure if your comment means you're looking forward to support the "anti-colonizers" side in a potential upcoming civil war ?

There are huge problems with immigration in France and it's been a growing problem for the past 40 years. But contrarely to what people think, crime isn't IMHO the worst of them. The worst is the feeling that the cultural norm o

good example. i thought i used type-driven design, but your example made me realize i'm clearly not. In your example, how would you qualify using an enum "State" with the case "shuffled" and "ordered" ? I

Damn, thanks for that comment. I was actually wondering if they were talking about the same "spark" i already knew.

I agree with others here pointing that firing people isn't necessary a sign of having mismanaged the company. However, i think a good gesture as a CEO when acknowledging your company is going through rough times would be things like po

hm i see. so the cost is in the initial setup of the client instance, which needs to download the whole database to its local sqlite ?

by bsaul 4y ago
I don’t see how sqlite replicated to other servers can be faster than any other relational dbs replicated on those same servers, at least without taking more chances to loose data. The limit is most likely network latency anyway, isn’t it ?

About the « empty throne » : i recommend reading « le meurtre du pasteur », a philosophical book from Benny Levy (not sure it’s translated). A critic of all the classic philosopher theory and text that wanted to provide a philosophy outside

Yet using the objc runtime defeats the purpose of being easier to port to other platforms.

The first line in the wikiepedia mentions a token. So, token-based security ?

Yeap, those past years have been pretty scary for swift. First lattner, then abraham..

by bsaul 4y ago
What you’re doing in this medium post is call the objc runtime from swift and take advantage from swift <-> objc bridging. This does not work if the class you’re trying to swizzle is a pure swift class. For a reason : swift is mostly

i don't think people working on val are part of the swift team anymore.

i don't understand how a compiled language like swift can be binary compatible with a dynamic one like objc. How are they going to implement method swizzling on NSObject for example ?

Just because Google enterprise offers email hosting doesn’t make email itself centralized. Just the fact that the protocol is federated is enough to prevent abuses (since anyone who doesn’t like the abuse can self-host without any loss of f

funny enough, the trend for mail has actually been to use google for enterprise ( or equivalent) and stop hosting your email servers. i believe that could be a middleground : a mastodon server hosting service.

it's pretty obvious that it could influence new developers into the wrong direction though. Saying things like "ha, let's not bother checking this, at worst it'll just panic and i'll simply abort the request".

you're missing a huge part of the story. The fact that the person decide to change their gender is a huge thing. She was born a man, behaved like one for decades, met people under that gender. Then she decided that her real gender wa

by bsaul 4y ago
i assume you are in good faith so i'm just going to ask a simple question : how do you tell the story of someone who changed their name and gender, without stating their original name and gender ?

As a non-US person i think OP story was quite interesting, including the gender transition part (because it very much adds to picturing the personality of that steve / jessica and also reflects on a current trend in the US) and the way

I think the issues you’re mentioning are potentially impacting the world policies (and not a lot of things fall in that category). So if you have some time, it would probably be a great idea to write a detailed post sharing your concerns so

I won't comment on your particular example, but i've definitely witness a good side : you'll immediately spot code that's a bit too clever for its own good. I have recently tried to raise the bar on my designs and being

documentation is an ongoing process. You document your code before, during, and after you write it. I don't understand how one can maintain a piece of code without it for more than a few months, even as a single person. One always forg

Before « move fast and break things », there used to be a thing called « documentation ». It included things like « design documents » and would ensure people were able to quickly understand a piece of code.

Are humans able to produce truely novel content, ever ? I’d say in a given field, it maybe occurs once in a decade and we call those people genius. It’s a bit too much to ask to an AI don’t you think ?
