True. But supporting iOS 12 would mean I could start working on SwiftUI apps today.

As long as startups insist on noisy, open environments I'll work remote. Just like some people can have a conversation while the TV is on some people can work in that environment. And everybody seems to have to adapt to those people no

Good question, so far it doesn’t seem so
635.
by dep_b 7y ago
It does, in a good way. I really liked Flutter's UI approach.

One thing that Google does right with Android is back porting to older versions.

I'll start wearing tin foil hats again as you built exactly what I had in mind when thought what the future of a Swift-based UI should look like. Literally every box checked.

It's already available with a long press on the refresh icon, "request desktop site". Probably it'll let you request a mobile version now and requests the desktop site by default.

Not even close to anti-trust triggering size though

I like the way Objective-C made me "think different" compared to more straight C-syntax style languages like Java, PHP or even superficially JavaScript (ironically none of them actually had the C support level Objective-C had!). T

Actually the really analog ones aren't that bad, they just require a lot of time. The early digital ones including stuff like a polyphonic keyboard scanner for the CS-80 are things that are really problematic.

Ironically there are tons of people wearing Quechua where the actual Quechua live since it's affordable and good. Which is pretty astounding as Decathlon doesn't even have stores in Argentina.

Patagonia. Named after a region where nobody wears the brand. Reminds me of cheap textile made in the Far East with some kind of generic blurb about New York on it.

The goal of an MVP is not to write crappy code to get something quickly out of the door but to not build every feature into all details to get all of the parts together and see how they work first. It's about the code you don't wr

Yeah, duplicating code that by itself isn't quite what I was getting at. I mean one big god class full of flags that is shared by two quite distinctive views that happen to share just a bit of functionality. In fact duplicating code in

I really can't write code other than a) experimental (when testing a new library that encompasses a totally new concept) or b) absolutely readable and SOLID. a) code never makes it to production before it became b) since when I underst

Nothing but stellar experiences for me so far in Holland. Everything fixed in a day, just got a new screen for free on my MacBook Pro 2011 in Haarlem. But super hard to get appointments sometimes.

Well until the next version of Swift it’ll add 10mb of runtime to your app, not worth it for 100 lines of code

They’re documented but they were meant for enterprise usage. Tracking user habits is a risk, just like VPN apps could track all user’s network requests

I'm kind of contemplating a career switch since in mobile JavaScript cross-platform seems to become pretty big and I just don't feel very warmly about becoming a JavaScript specialist. What are the possibilities for somebody that&

...and of course Java was somewhat open to begin with, which isn't the case for the technology the company that got copied in story. There's always the next level in douchebaggery, if Google was really wrong copying those headers
654.
by dep_b 8y ago
The lawsuit was about copyright on headers though. I think the headers did include the same documentation as the original Java implementation.

by dep_b 8y ago
Some people built the world's most popular operating system doing just that - copying Java's API.

In the US a bar served me Mort Subite at the same temperature as they served lager. In a plastic cup. I think that really kills the brand over a longer time.

by dep_b 8y ago
Heineken is pretty good for an industrial lager. A lot of brands seem to cheat with the malt sheet or hop to make beer cheaper. Having said that, I just don't like lager/pils that much to begin with. Tried 20 in the Beer Museum in

Which kind of makes you think what he thinks of what his business really is in the long term. Repairing Macs that nobody buys anymore probably not.

I'm kind of baffled you never got back to the first statement I made. It's like you got totally lost in your mission to prove that Swift sucks. I never claimed magic performance in Swift, I said ARC might be slower but it's a

Well try to use C++ without the C part, see how that goes. C is a part of Objective-C and you can write Swift code that will compile byte for byte into code as performant as C. It's ugly, it's unsafe but it's part of the lang
