For some definition of OS sure, for something on par with Windows/OSX/Linux this is definitely not true. Getting to the additional point of assembler, how does one make a syscall in swift?

No, it's that there's a limited amount of space to communicate my ideas and I chose brevity over clarity. I also use the common definition of terms over academic preciseness because I'm trying broad thoughts on a forum rather

I'm confusing types and 'Java-like interfaces and design patterns' to the same degree that you're confusing swift's type system with 'what great type systems can do for you.' The type system of swift is mu

im saying those with a propensity to build such systems invariably choose strongly typed languages and in those languages that is the culture and the language encourages it. Eg.rewriting base classes to use IWritableStream instead of lookin

Apps that have a lot of YAGNI features. eg. For some reason your app has the ability to use Postgres instead of SQLite, even though you always use SQLite. eg. For some reason your app supports Postgres/MYSQL/SQL Server because eve

It's designed to give it hype, it's not a systems language. The first question you should ask for any systems language is how to I integrate assembler, when the answer is to use C / C++ then you know it's not a systems l

Technically it's the reverse, Windows is POSIX compliant, and Linux is almost compliant. However, the non-posix features liunx provides makes it easy to port from the various *nixes where as Windows precise POSIX compliance ensures vir

Swift as a language is pretty great, however, the tooling and obj-c interop make it a pain in the ass. It's hard to realize most of the performance benefits when everything you're interacting with requires objc_msgsend or uses NSA

Java is rarely 2x faster than C/C++. I would say the primary reasons server apps are written in Java is the enterprise support and giant ecosystem as well as number of developers who can write java. The performance on the server is dec

Yes, that's why modern triple A titles are written on the JVM. The JVM can generate faster numeric code than C++ in limited instances and when writing in C/C++ style. And then when you want to be faster than java you drop down to

Security contests are the worst way to eval security. It might have something to do with the java prize only being $30K (cuz it's so fucking easy) instead of $75K. If Fischer Price made "My first exploit" kits it would ship w

Being the fastest VM doesn't make a VM fast. It's just faster than other slow things.

It's not a data breach, it's essential that the US keep their database unencrypted so that the Chinese national security agency can search their records for ties to terrorism. If anything China just did the OPM a favour to help th

Yeah a FISA judge in China authorized the search so it's ok.

As far as hard drugs, Ron Paul has done excellent surveys amongst hardcore Republicans (who generally say they'd do drugs if allowed) and found that most of them would not do heroin if given the choice. https://www.youtube.c

Also, can you please avoid drinking water for the next 4 days... I think you might be addicted, if you're not addicted you won't show any signs of withdrawl. Addicts suffering from water withdrawl often drink amounts that are unsa

No more than water does. Even as a proponent of full legalization I know that as little as a few minutes spent in water can kill someone, and often does. Why people are allowed to casually dive into this toxic substance is beyond me. No lic

A big part of the problem is we don't know what we even want from democracy. eg. Is the idea to select leaders who know better than us, so that policy reflects the views of the public, etc? I'm pretty sure what actually results is

It's more like context... Rails has a lot of context which allows developers to rapidly specify what they want to happen in the context of web apps. Rails is like asking someone to get milk, rails maps a route, obeys the laws of the ro

Rails is competitive... It trades execution performance for developer performance. If you prefer faster execution and slower dev then another framework might be more appropriate.
