Well if you think a driver is somewhat similar to a front-end implementation to begin with then it's OK. If "wiping the floor" means what I see on a day by day basis comparing JVM based UI's versus the same thing built i

I think nothing of what you just wrote undermines what I just said. > Cascading deletes of highly nested data structures are similar to pause the world in tracing GCs. Which is simply difficult for every language. But even then still mor

The advantage of ARC is that the cost of deallocating is very constant and always happens at the same moment. This helps enormously when you are doing performance sensitive stuff like scrolling over a list of complex cells. With the Java st

Working with Generics in Swift often made me feel I was missing something, pushing me to refactor my code once things started pushing past the trivial usage of generics because types started fighting back. Indeed I noticed that the requirem

3 years of professional experience (and working on mobile applications as side gigs since 12 after their dad teached them how to do simple scripts with PHP at 8) I can believe that.

Weird, I feel I'm still improving a lot after 15 years but perhaps doing new stuff just keeps challenging what you know.

PHP 7: didn't use it too much yet but things definitely have been improving on the syntax side! But doing PHP is 80% awful jobs and 20% cool companies so it's not something I would put too high up on my resumé.

Making sure that building enough affordable housing is possible for developers to begin with is of course not something that a NIMBY backed city council would ever do.

Like the word "Yankee". Both words seem to rub some people the wrong way.

Your problem is that you don't have an American passport, you have a United States passport. It would be pretty nice if American passports would exist.

Objective-C really is a lot kinder for your battery I guess. Also it was brand new at the time and I guess I was using a phone for debugging.

Chrome used to half my battery life on a MacBook Pro. On a brand new machine with a full battery I could program all day in Xcode if I forgot my charger until one day it was empty halfway the day. Finally I figured out it was Chrome that ki

It would be nice if Siri would at least allow me to turn cellular data back on with a voice command. Turn-to-turn navigation tends to consume a lot of data when I'm abroad using a temporary SIM so I drive without network connection on

Who currently occupies the West Bank and Gaza Strip? But I think it's a good thing. People working together is one of the best ways to get a better understanding of people you would normally never meet. I've met a ton of different

We're using percolators and fresh ground coffee at home. One large Argentinean clone and a "3 cup" Bialetti. I fill up the Bialetti with coffee for a good punch but the large one (don't know it's capacity actually)

Updates on macOS require restarts too. But when I restart, most applications restart exactly in the state I left them.

Well it would definitely be nice to have more serious applications for the iPad and perhaps some new mobile productivity apps crossing over to the Mac. But the UX is so fundamentally different that I'm afraid the majority of the applic

Apple's crash reports are pretty good as well, they'll pop you right into the offending part of the code. But it doesn't have all of the fancy dashboards and such.

So Apple removed Facebook login capabilities or they just used the web-based login instead? I did this with a native iOS application before, just used the web-based login while checking for the completion hook and it was about the same expe

iOS Swift is usually the front-end code which means that you're doing a lot of connections to data sources elsewhere. Non-blocking connections always need a weak/strong dance. If you're using Swift for logic most of that is g

Perhaps Apple was already waiting for an outrage like this. It allows them to be “forced” to shut down third-party logging. Which only hurts competitors. What can Google say? “Well....on Android we’re not a third-party...”? They’ve kicked o
