Well if people can get hurt because they see a nipple of course a grown up person can also get upset about some rando on the internet having an opinion on Hong Kong. Both things make equal sense to me at least.

If you're a cryptocurrency expert you really should look into joining TopTal: https://www.toptal.com/#hire-just-bright-hackers-now - they're really looking for them a lot. Once you're in as a crypto expert yo

Yup, moved back to one of those countries from a 20%-ish country and since I'm still not rich enough to have tons of deductions I'm really getting squeezed out of about half what I earn.

Similar to Polish people having German passports because their families lived in the former German areas before WW II. Germany and The Netherlands had lots of Polish workers for three decades already because of that, long before they joined

Great work! Is it easy to interact between Swift and Rust or UIKit libraries?

Just wondering how much this is really just software performing the "upgrade"? The Pixel 3 camera app made every camera better in the end.

I never used that one but I worked with stuff like SEUCK and to think back at it now it was pretty awesome you really could do all of this stuff with some graphical editors and get something that was a bit simple in terms of gameplay but wo

Well if the C# and Java implementations use C they're definitely not C# and Java drivers. But you don't need to use C directly, just use the C features that are supported by Swift itself.

The problem is that 99% of all Swift developers use the language to create front-ends for powerful devices and you never need to squeeze the last drop of performance out of them.

I can't really believe the Swift implementation needs to be that slow. Objective-C used to be 100% C compatible and Swift more or less has complete bridging to C because of the need to use these API's. Objective-C was often called

I had a guy in our local IKEA (mainland Europe) explain to us that using a certain combination of items for our closet doors would look "fugly", which led me to believe he mainly learned English at internet forums full of trolls.

I think the XS is a better phone in all aspects except for it’s fragility, no headphone jack and less-than-optimal size. Give me an X in the same frame size as the SE and I pack my sleeping bag and make sure I’m first in the queue for the S

Login is a big thing but if I can get away with it, I'll simply use a web view Facebook authentication instead. Adding all that framework weight for something the average user only uses once and will be a jarring experience from the re

And a bunch of `if` statements could get hard to maintain once it turns into a bunch of related compound statements, while it doesn't check for missing combinations compile-time. But I don't think you should call any function outs

Kotlin and F# have the same, such a clean pattern.

I can't help it, my government doesn't allow me to read critical Chinese resources that could convince me that what I learned was actually wrong.

As incomes rise in China people will demand other things from the government than food, shelter and a comfortable middle class life. Hong Kong was ahead of the rest of China since they have been living pretty liberal under UK rule and were

Well the UK is near and there are cheap flights so yeah that combined with Amsterdam's reputation and the way certain people like to "represent" the UK abroad is a pretty bad mix. But there's just tons of people from all

Well the idea isn't that bad, but people seem to think if one or two forbidden things are possible then all of a sudden everything that was forbidden is possible. You'll end up with Amsterdam. Also problematic is the fact that in

> Schneider said the legislation was likely to include a ban on non-residents buying cannabis in order to dissuade drug-tourism. Given the fact they're sharing a border with France: probably a good idea.
