I may have read it wrong. I would have said: "Because when it's done right, 80% of "architecting" stuff is coding." If that is spirit of what you are saying, then I got it backwards! (apologies) Edit: I think I se

>>Because when it's done right, coding is 80% "architecting" stuff. If there is more than a tiny amount of menial work involved in programming then you are generally doing something very wrong. I both agree and disagree

I think it's actually a great little story because in the end, everyone got what they wanted. The lone programmer did his work, got paid for it and left, hopefully to find a company with a better fit. The team was hired and got paid to

Not to pick on you, but this attitude always frustrates me. Should all artists give up their work because creating it serves no "practical" purpose? There is a middle ground in all things, but who is to say where to draw the line?

Debugging Swift is terrible right now in Xcode, unless I am not doing it right. Some values can be seen, others are inexplicably missing. Coming from Java/IntelliJ, it's a hopeless mess. I hope that Xcode/Swift gets better in

C, C++ and Java developer for the last 30 years, but NOT a CompSci major. Swift is great! Even with my exposure to various C+Objects syntaxes over the years, Objective C just makes my eyes hurt. I wrote a couple of iOS apps and I never got

I really appreciate this post for a number of reasons, but you should be aware of some irony in what you write, particularly as it relates to Andy. Andy Warhol's entire worldview as an artist revolved around the parody of fame and &quo

Probably not, but they are a big company. They can do both at the same time.

Thanks for the information (and also to the other replies). I do not totally understand the "focused at infinity" thing, but it does make sense. I am just grateful that older eyes will not be excluded from trying this new tech out

Boy, it is really early days with this stuff. Over the holidays, my brother-in-law brought over a set of the current Oculus. The 720p ones. The experience reminded me a lot of the early days of 3D, i.e. the difficulty alone of setting up a

A getInstance() call can return a pre(statically)-initialized instance if it wants to. Laziness is optional. The pattern gives you the freedom to do it either way. Maybe not so in all languages?

Religious wars against particular design patterns just seem so, well, religious! To me, a singleton is a particular implementation of a global variable. Nothing more. You use it one when you need one. It isn't magic or evil. It's

I agree completely. I also think its a subtle(?) affirmation of Apple's commitment to the Mac and the Mac OS as a separate entity - separate from iOS, that is. It is also really, really hard for those of you too young to have been ther

As others here have mentioned, Quantum Mechanics confirms that the universe has fundamental randomness. It is baked in. God does indeed play dice with the universe. Eternity would be too boring without it. Of course, it doesn't hurt

Not picking on you in particular, but you are what you eat. Who is to say that people shouldn't eat what they want to eat, unless it is some part of you? Isn't it their responsibility to consume what they like? Eating sweets makes

That is so funny. I was thinking the same thing exactly! Slightly unrelated, I also wonder about stomach sleepers. it seems like all of these things are designed for back and side sleepers. I know that stomach sleeping isn't considered

Another artist chiming in. I disagree with you. I believe that Vermeer used photographic techniques to aid him. It is very obvious to me (imho) that Vermeer's works is of a wholly different character than any other Dutch masters workin

You can use TextExpander to work around it temporarily. Just map {The bad string that starts with 'F' that I cannot type here} to file:/// and it seems to add some protection.

"Meaning" is purely subjective idea. Meaning is an intellectual concept that has no physical analog. Things in the physical world don't have meaning. They just are. We, as in our minds, assign meaning to them. The electric current that make
