I've read that the Office division basically does everything separately form the Windows division because they want total control. Everything. Frameworks, tooling, you name it.

What's more impressive is that Mojave would be really familiar to those users from the year 2000. If I compare it to the mind-blowing UX changes Windows went through in the same time...and none of them were never really all compassing

I don't understand why Apple is the only one left that uses a strongly typed pre-compiled native programming language. It really isn't hard to use Swift compared to other programming languages. And it's a really nice to use,

Either you don't understand what arbitrary code is or you're just too angry with Apple to want to understand it. But apps either run static code or use the Safari JS engine to run code. That's all the flavors you have. Static

Browsers are huge attack vectors as they allow you to run arbitrary code. I wouldn't say there isn't a case to not allow third parties to run a platform in your platform.

80% of all software is glueing frameworks together to do CRUD. There's an art to do that right as well, especially very large systems with lots of legacy. Readability, SOLID, safety. It's not something everybody has a talent for.

Strange. Most hills look small compared to the Mount Everest and the Aconcagua. That doesn't mean they're actually easy to climb. Why is RedHat compared to the biggest companies on the planet?

That would be amazing. I really like using Storyboards if only just to better separate layout from logic but there are so many downsides to them that I just don't really use them all of the time.
745.
by dep_b 8y ago
Well storyboards are declarative if you view the source but they're burdened with a ton of legacy. If a view is constrained by auto layouts the frame values should disappear but they don't, leading to a ton of false positives wh

Yeah the mixup of MVC layers is terrible and anything beyond a hard reload data has many edge cases.

iOS notifications are in a separate system and do not need any part of the host app to be started to receive them.
