I moved my dock to the bar with Pock and I have some of the most used buttons (brightness, volume, mute and night mode) right there. I also added a negative spacing between the icons so they're really close now. Now every time I can ex

> I find it much easier to change brightness/sound (place the finger and drag) Right? It's such a pity that Pock messed that one up. I added Pock to have the same thing in the same position all of the time and I really like how

Haven't done it in years but I always kept a bit of an interest in it. No idea how it'll affect me after more than 10 years.

ABI stability. You don't need to ship the whole runtime with it anymore. Though if you want a framework that works nice with both languages and older versions Objective-C is still better.

Modern Java still isn’t as nice as Kotlin. It’s just not as terrible as the Java version for Android.

True, I'm working with Swift which doesn't have that concept. But you can't have collisions between similarly named functions that are in the main or a different namespace? For example when somebody defines it's own vers

So one of the problems with that function is that it's global. The advantage of having a single class that either has a hidden constructor and only a static function or needs to be initialized but only offers the stateless function is

Untrue. Typescript uses Javascript as it's runtime so inherits all of it's problems, Objective-C and C are 100% transparent to each other and for real masochists it's even possible to call Objective-C from C with an awful and

by dep_b 6y ago
Typescript is a strongly typed language built on top of one that isn't, just like Objective-C gets all of the run-time problems that C has if you wanted them or not. There is no such thing as a free lunch. And if you didn't unders

Which exactly confirms what I said about having to maintain 3 platforms instead of 2. And React itself is also far from a stable target.

JavaScript is very weakly typed. You can send an object to a function that expects an integer as an argument for example. Also there is no real standard library for a lot of things while Java, .net and Cocoa had them for decades. This means

Personally I actually even asked them to make my profile publicly accessible as I hoped it would help a bit to prevent having to take all of those unnecessary tests, again and again every time I apply somewhere. Same goes for my Toptal prof

We thought maintaining two platforms was too much, so we got React Native. Now we have three to maintain.

WebRTC and signaling can be an interesting attack vector. If rooms are not protected technically from uninvited people to enter you can get all kinds of information but even worse you can sometimes even hijack a call.

So what's particularly hard on the compiler are hard coded sets of data that have mixed types. For example a dictionary that reflects a JSON response that also has nested dictionaries. It helps if you test declare it like: let js

Sounds like you describe the state of Swift at least three years ago. SourceKit just doesn't crash anymore on me anymore, ever. Compile times are quite good for me nowadays, still not as fast as Objective-C but then again you don'

There are other editors for Swift out there, like AppCode. I do hate the fact that I'm forced to upgrade to a new OS version somewhere within half a year. Cataline was barely tolerable when I had to jump to it.

It looks a lot like functional code actually. I used to do this stuff with F# and Elixir. Arrows are quite effective to point out where the data is going.

Those JavaScript cross-platform solutions are opaque boxes that run basically their own operating system within an operating system. This comes at a penalty of a non-standard UX and higher than usual CPU usage and memory usage. But after th
