No, it really didn't. The first iPhone was 2G and it was a year before the app store was available. https://www.statista.com/statistics/263401/global-apple-ipho...

It really is devaluing the brand. Bring back Google Talk.

I lived in the Bay Area for 15 years, but I don't any more. Thanks for the offer. I would love to see it. There seems to be very little information about it on YouTube. It would be great if you could make some videos about it, or lend

I had read a lot about the Cat, but never saw it in action, so I decided to look for a video. This is a fascinating view into Raskin's user interface concepts. The world might have been a very different place if Jobs hadn't interf

I don't think Raskin liked WIMP very much. You can see what his original vision for the Macintosh was in the Canon Cat, which he went on to develop after leaving apple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Cat

A process is an object. It accepts messages and sends messages. It encapsulates state.

My personal opinion is that Smalltalk's biggest mistake was making message sends synchronous.

ES6 is better. [edit] ES6 is definitely better than a swift kick in the groin. It is certainly better than the original version of javascript. And it is also better than a lobotomy.

And it is extremely successful because it's not a bad language. Sure, there's lots of "wat", but a non-professional programmer is going to say "wat" about every strange error they get from another programming l

The CLI only does so effortlessly because of all the work done to make it effortless. Pipes, string formatting, argument parsing. If the same amount of work was put into a direct manipulation GUI as was put into unix, it would be just as ef

I mean, it is almost 30 years old, so you have to take that into consideration. A lot of stuff had to be built from scratch. As for what it "does", what does the smalltalk environment do? It's a combination of a programming l

Because <another communications channel> is the channel that every user already has set up with the user they want to chat with. It varies for every person, so why not let them use what is most convenient for them? Nothing's stop

The line of thinking is unreasonable. The line of thinking is this: "I don't want somebody doing something I don't like. Therefore, I have the right to kill them."

The PBS movie "Silicon Valley" is an excellent documentary that discusses them at length.

Whoops, you're right. 34 percent.

Why do they switch the units they use in the same sentence, except to obfuscate the fact that the two values are very close to each other? If they said 31 percent of italy and 29 percent of us, the case might seem weaker.
