Rx not encoding side effects in the type system, as ReactiveSwift does, is very unfortunate.

You can download the IPA itself and check (they're just zips). Spoiler alert is that the binary (unzipped) is 130mb, but I think this contains multiple architectures.

Can you really live in India for a year without getting in trouble? (assuming you're not an Indian citizen) i.e. Schengen is 90/180 days

Firefox needs a UI implemented in AppKit, I think.

Stickers on laptops usually make Jony Ive sad, and he's sad enough already being locked in that white room with one set of clothes. But this one is much better, because it occupies the entire laptop!

The new Citibikes are much better (well, lighter, at least, at you definitely notice that on a bridge incline) than the old ones though?

It's really not that hard in this case. Don't wrap lines with a four-space prefix (or whatever format is decided), wrap lines without one. Allow users to disable the wrapping if they prefer wrapped code. The prefix can be stripped

If Linus wants a consistent commit message format, he should enforce it at the software level, rather than hoping people read a comment he left in a repository about logging his swimming information. This does not mean that the format needs

I have always considered this a weird effort. Foundation is not Swifty (delegate protocols with optional methods, etc.). Why do we need a Swift implementation of NSMutableArray or NSNumber? Just use Array or Int/Double! Of course, a co

CocoaPods isn't an official tool so it's not really the Swift team's fault that it's bad. SPM should certainly have been "done" by now though, Carthage was put together quicker by a team of volunteers without a

Great language-level features (especially the concrete extensions, finally), but I'm most interested in whether the compiler still crashes, whether it can correctly report error messages in code using type inference and closures, and w

Tools that handle formatting for you are a productivity multiplier and not having them but enforcing a specific style is wasteful.

Is there not precedent for handling that correctly in a plain text field?

Markdown renderers seem perfectly capable of this. git wouldn't even need to disambiguate asterisk for lists vs. asterisk for emphasis.

Web browsers line break text dynamically just fine - as do, well, text editors. Using a text editor to automatically embed line breaks doesn't fix the problem: embedding line breaks in text for formatting is wrong semantically. Hard li

The body of the commit message can be several paragraphs, and please do proper word-wrap and keep columns shorter than about 74 characters or so. That way "git log" will show things nicely even when it's indente

I've sort of wondered about European required notice periods - what happens if you just stop going? But more seriously, how do they hire a replacement in that time period if the replacement also (presumably) needs to give three-months

If (US) employers really want people's departures to not mess things up, there's a simple tool then can use: contracts mandating notice periods. Of course, that would require consideration, so they'd have to provide that to e

I've been APNS spammed by Yelp, Lyft, and Etsy, and by reading the guidelines, they should be removed from the App Store for this. No way to report that either.

Does Python guarantee that finalizers are called at all? Most languages don't, I thought.

Have you considered that the team's mood might not actually be as good as you think that it is? It's generally inadvisable to bring up environmental things that are making you unhappy at work, it could mark you as "not a team

In practice what I've seen is a "music clique" develops. If I went to put on some ambient Eno or whatever (because it's the closest to "no music"), it would probably be weird because I'm not in the music c

Do you have a "shut up" rule, though? I have to endure shared music, discussions about sportsball or TV shows, people making calls, etc. while trying to use a debugger a meter away (pack 'em in!). I could possibly tolerate on
