The title they chose implies that they're actually changing the APIs to take full advantage of Swift language features. Perhaps they should have named the article "We're renaming some classes and methods."

It seems like a lot of dynamically typed language programmers are catching on to Go and it's the best thing they've ever known. Generics are just not that hard. They are not the difference between a comprehensible codebase and an

Do you also think that if you don't have kids in school, your taxes shouldn't pay for public education?

I have seen a few monad tutorials and found this series far more comprehensible than others-- it starts with the real-world monads many programmers use unknowingly and works back to the definition. http://ericlippert.com/201

It's a little excessive to say that closed source means it can't possibly be secure or trustworthy. It implies open source is a silver bullet for security, which just isn't true. I use 1Password and love it. I can tell after

Can you see why people would be frustrated by Gates spending so much money to mandate a form of education for the commoners while providing his own children with something that he presumably considers to be much better? Consider especially

What does this have to do with the observation that when a poor person gets towed, it can throw their whole life off the rails, and when a rich person gets towed, they don't even feel it? Do you think that because more poor people take

I am amazed by the degree of vitriol that comes out when people observe that there are differing tendencies between boys and girls. I am amazed by the tendency of social scientists to ascribe everything about that to social construction. Ob

Reading the examples is a little clunky because I have to scroll up to the dictionary every time I see a word I don't remember from skimming the list. Which is often.

It sounds like Uber's business model is essentially in sidestepping the consumer protections that exist for conventional private driver and taxi companies. It reminds me of how credit card companies and PayPal sidestep consumer protect

Microsoft needs a CEO who's willing to focus, and that means killing the stupid ideas and making hard decisions on what they're trying to be and what they aren't trying to be. Windows 7 and Xbox 360 were both relatively succe
