iOS users are the biggest cash cows for e-commerce in the US. Since Google is ad-driven and ads are ultimately paid by people that actually buy stuff it would lower the value of Google overnight by 30%.

The problem with Agile is that it's a thing that only works with adult (of any age) programmers that have enough experience to be let loose and prosper. If you're going to pour Agile over chain gang junior sweatshops you're j

It probably takes way more effort, time and money than the FBI likes to invest to break open an iPhone. So this high profile incident was used as a way to influence public opinion that this kind of heavy protection was helping pedophiles an

Community Edition is really nice nowadays, usable for day-to-day professional usage as well. If ReSharper works - it works for me.

1,000,000 is easy to read, 1.000.000 too. It’s values like 1.350 that trip me up. Using a small space is not confusing to anybody.

Swift changed less between 3 and 4 than between 1.0 and 1.1. The last two years or so have been fine for me.

Note that 11.4 is already in the works for the final versions of ClassKit and Shared iPad. Probably the first betas for 11.4 will start appearing soon. Can't wait to try it. Looking forward to not have girly stuff appearing anymore in

I wasn't expecting to be blown away by what they could do with the SID chip last time let alone now. Could you use the C64 as a hi-fi sampler with an analog filter or it's not possible anymore to use the LPF?

Not a C-programmer at all but I would separate out the resource creation/access from acting on the resource. So Open X, Do Y on X, Close X would have do Y on X in a separate function and possibly Open X and Close X as well. This way Cl

Since it forces you to write short methods everything you add or change on the existing code will automatically improve the code quality. Also depends on your refactoring tools, C# with ReSharper can reliably refactor without side-effects.

One important advantage not mentioned is the sending side. You can respond to websocket messages, push notifications or HTTP callbacks using the same message structure so every new source of messages can be added with only one line of code

If you think it’s necessary you can still explicitly list receivers on the message handler instead of using a list of objects that implement a certain interface. It makes code a bit more kludgey though.
