   If they block installation of non AppStore apps it will be a big mistake for them. It will just make Linux and open source more popular again and Apple will slowly start loosing the developers and power users, again. Others will eventually

   I think those negative commenters tend to miss what in my opinion is the most critical ingredient of what being a true "hacker" is – doing some things just because you want to, because you're having fun and because you want t

   So to get this straight, free speech laws only apply online to open public forums that are not using private platforms? We're in quite a situation then. Let's look at the options for forums with protected speech. * If only publicl

   I am quite familiar with the situation between Iran and US, and most of my life I've been on your side of this argument. World politics is very complex with lots of nuance, historical context and long-running grudges. It is also highly

    It's very hard to have compassion to a theocratic authoritarian dictatorship regime (Ali Khamenei is in power since 1981). It's also very hard to see them as victims or as the good guys. Sorry.

    True, they do however have a very hostile stance towards US and NATO for a good quite a long time now. Them consistently looking to acquire nuclear weapons is not a good sign. Regardless, I was talking about sanctions in general. Dismissing

    Well, I think the sanctions exists because of the nuclear program. NATO is not going to trade and help technologically a country that's trying to develop nuclear weapons in order to threaten to NATO and their main officially stated ene

    So, Russia under sanctions, for annexation of Crimea, should just be left alone to leave their lives? Next time, if they decide to annex some other part of Ukraine, or maybe Poland this time, they should also be left to live their lives? Sa

    Functional programming was never about first-class functions. It was always about programming with pure and total functions in their mathematical version.

    It's not about the number, it's about how much influence other society one company should have. If we're not careful we may simply lose democracy to corporations. Some argue that it might already be too late.

    It's not in the number of the products, it's in the scale of each of those products and the influence that they give them.

    Open source is getting perverse. Individual developers spend their free time developing a solution without making as much as a cent, while giant corporations are making billions on it. How did that become a thing?

    Apple I believe has a reason to work on Swift for Linux, and that reason is their considerable cloud infrastructure and various backend services. I’m sure being able to share domain specific Swift code between client apps and backend would
