The word "refactoring" to software managers has the same ring as "prostate exam" or "speculum" to the rest of us. It might be necessary sometimes but Preferably Not Today and please stop talking about it all of

It's a pity both Jetpack and SwiftUI / Combine weren't available / release worthy enough at the time of writing. Not sure about Android but a lot of the problems on the native iOS side would be fixed with that. The only

This is why you pay more for a Dumb monitor than a Smart TV. The monitor has no avenues to sell your data so all cost and profit needs to be extracted from the consumer through the sales price.

Good info. Still I think that they're not making a lot of money and the market's contracting too. Looks a bit like the situation with laptops about 10 years ago. They were dirt cheap and abundant. --- edit --- https://a

These examples don't show the true power of Kotlin, for example pattern matching is super powerful and helps to put a much more solid and readable logic in your applications. Still a lot of Kotlin I see from my Android colleagues suffe

The touchbar should been an extension at bottom of the screen where you would always be able to see it’s state, not of the keyboard.

The problem with putting keys on the keyboard that radically change depending on context is that you cannot use them from memory just like the other keys. Of course CMD+C doesn't copy when you didn't select anything nor will CMD+W
