Well that's what I said: > Developer Preview of Sierra should be available today. Which you disagreed with. So, you were factually wrong.

Good on you for being honest all along and for open sourcing the results and offering refund. I wish people (both people seeking funding and backers) would take more realistic and honest approaches towards crowdfunding.

Spotlight is already incredibly useful, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's getting some of these improvements. We should know soon since Developer Preview of Sierra should be available today.

Unfortunately he's now a high profile Facebook employee so I'm sure he has strict orders about where his content is to be posted.

I think you're finding exactly what it seems you're finding; the CTO role is not for you (as it isn't for me either.) It is exactly what you're experiencing; dealing with bullshit, trying to get people to do things, get

I'm not currently in enterprise but I've worked at Ford and U of Mich. before so I have experience in that space. Thing do tend to get entrenched in enterprise space more so than in smaller businesses, but even still LinkedIn does

This just isn't true. There's nothing about LinkedIn that makes it any more indispensable than those sites or Monster.com or any other site popular with recruiters in the past. This is going to go down in history as one of the mos

Between Windows constantly pestering and even trying to trick me to upgrade to Windows 10 and getting LinkedIn requests from people I've only ever met once this is truly a match made in hell.

I agree. I never read Gawker or any of its sites, they were all garbage. And the Hulk Hogan sex tape was scummy garbage that I never had any interest in. But it also isn't that different from lots of other celebrity leaks that have bee

Yes it is. I like it a lot more than Go too. I wasn't slagging Swift, I was talking about the code example in the original article (like the comment I was replying to.)

by ebbv 10y ago
Sorry for the poor wording, I was responding to the comment saying that the code example was hard to read. I was agreeing with that. I really like Swift itself.
852.
by ebbv 10y ago
Yeah I've used Swift a bit and found it in need of cleaning up. To be quite honest, I've found in the last 5 years a lot of professional developers have lost sight of the maxim that brevity is not better than clarity.

That's the thing though, I'm not defending a stereotype. Re-read my comment. The last thing I do is agree it's best to avoid stereotypes, and that this particular stereotype is wrong anyway because there's bad programm

It is a stereotype but y'know he may be talking about the reality in this case rather than just a general stereotype. That said it's best to avoid it. Bad developers come in every form of humanity. EDIT: WTF? All I did was try to

The usual way home computers get compromised is user error; downloading and installing software that they shouldn't. It's social engineering. "Your computer has a virus! Install our software!" Also running a home email s

This is such a ridiculous statement I honestly believe it's clickbait and have flagged it as such. Syntax highlighting has so many obvious benefits that I think there's only two types of people who are against it; the first is peo

Well deprecated may not be exactly the right word, but there's not a single word that is totally accurate. Maybe "sunsetting"? :P

> people don't upgrade unless they are forced to. This is very short sighted on multiple fronts. If you force someone into an upgrade they didn't actually want they're going to be annoyed, and they may revert the upgrade.

He didn't make his own hardware though? It's a software based CPU. Actually manufacturing a CPU at home would require you to crash at a foundry. Or y'know build a really, really slow one out of parts that you could actually u

$160 for a week of using a car is insane especially when Uber is already making money off the work she is doing with the car. $16/hr with no insurance, no benefits, no nothing is NOT good pay. Yeah it's more than minimum wage but

That's not it at all. FB is just lame. It's the place where your grandma posts rants about Obama being Hitler. It's the place where your mom comments on all your pictures with your friends. It has nothing to do with establish

It's past the point of being something everybody uses, that's what I was getting at. Young people don't use Facebook and more and more people are leaving it. I think we are past Peak Facebook. :) Snapchat has high usage right

I think the idea that Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter would be the biggest beneficiaries is mistaken. Facebook is obviously a behemoth in anything it does just because its user base is so huge right now, but it is in decline. The future of a

I'd have a hard time constructing or more ignorant or ass-backwards argument than what you did there. You do not have freedom of speech on Twitter. You are only allowed to say there whatever Twitter allows you to say. The only place on
