Because you're actually interacting with two completely different stacks at least that have a pretty leaky abstraction. So you only get the painful parts of iOS development, certificates and build chains not the fun parts. Repeat that

Maybe "have a GitHub repo gathering dust" already counts?

Just started my first Elixir project using Phoenix since I needed something that could handle a large message volume and scale. I'm a bit surprised how good it is!

If WhatsApp manages to use Erlang at quite a scale I guess it's not that academic?

What do people that use Ocaml all day actually do?

My first thought too. And since services like Blendle lean heavily on iOS for generating money I think it's probably bad news for them. But at least they had a great time playing with their investors money while they were growing ;) h

Python isn't strongly typed so when your codebase grows it tends to be less maintainable than strongly typed code, unless you have a lot of test coverage. But still "doesn't compile" is a very strong indicator your code

Of the cities mentioned it's the only one I would actually consider to live. Perhaps Lisbon but I never visited it. Probably working for a local wage makes it a lot less romantic.

Sounds a lot like Amsterdam to me. I always thought German speaking countries valued engineers more. But perhaps it's just the Swiss?

Correcting for their economic status still doesn't make the statement you reply to untrue.

It's 51% including the UK and Ireland. Also included are places like Norway, The Netherlands and Denmark. So even if in 2/3rds of the countries having a fluent conversation in English is hard or impossible with most inhabitants st

I'm really impressed you met the majority of Europeans. It boggles the mind how you did it but nothing is impossible with the mighty American people.

You can't fix in hiring what's already broken before people even get to college. I'm pretty sure Google's hiring disproportionally much women, black people, gay people already if you would compare it to what's gradu

That's interesting. I bet a lot of people doing performance critical stuff like graphics or audio are going to be interested in this.

I'd say Swift isn't really a C-replacement as it uses ARC which is slower and doesn't need manual management to work (except for a few weak references here and there). It's generally/potentially faster than Java and

Very nice to see some activity on the server side of things for Swift. But it would be important that major players really get on board and create some kind of standard. I would love to see something like the Phoenix framework for Swift.

I’m not repeating exact conversations, people or problems for obvious reasons. You can bet I was a hell more specific about both the problem and who should help me.

That almost sounds like the same company.

One example that springs to mind is that I needed some some registry keys with database passwords for a closed source component.

I worked in a remote team once helping a company in Seattle (that perhaps had a bit of a jock culture problem). I could be stuck for days because following the README in a repo just wasn't enough to get the project to compile and run.

It should be called a "headlie" as well, which could be a more fitting word for it anyway depending on which news outlet you visit.

Other articles stated the unlock could also be performed on premises for a hefty sum.

That's strange. Apparently nothing is spidered in my country and I can't find an easy way to switch countries. A lot of people shop abroad. Google Shopping is a "good enough" experience for the end user, ready to be shov

I'm actually not getting any results from any query period. Apparently Google realized online shopping is virtually non-existent in my country and just gave up? https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&

It's kind of weird that gaining marketshare in a shrinking market while increasing revenue per sold phone would be a bad thing just because some analist thought it would even sell better.

Reminds me of a story I read a while ago about Russian programmers that didn't speak English at all so all things we recognized as words in the programming language didn't have any meaning to them. Perhaps React has a syntax &#x2F
