It is mentioned a few times, but never w/ any reference or explanation :-) Could someone please provide some pointers on this?

> Slack has been aggressive in the past sending C&D letters Could you elaborate? Slack provides client tokens and they don't seem to forbid that in the way Discord does (in fact they explicitly provide client tokens via OAuth).

Versioning solves the sole thing the "Swift 5 ABI" officially claims to solve: Avoiding to embed the Swift libraries in every single binary. If you have apps on your iPhone which use 3 different Swift versions, you would have 3 ve

The ABI stability in the article is solely provided by ObjC, not by Swift. The "Swift ABI" of 5 only helps you with not having to embed the Swift libraries within the ObjC shielded module. (it "just" makes it smaller) Th

Well, that was possible since Swift 1.0, wasn't it? It is using Objective-C as a proper ABI just like Windows people use COM to mix and match different C and C++ versions. Except that Apple doesn't provide proper dylib sharing (wh

In those socialist European countries that doesn't really apply. Pension is supposed to be payed by the state, not by individual wealth built up during your work live (very different to the US). Whether that idea is sound is a differen

It actually is pretty easy morally, depending on what your moral is ;-) It is easy because to get into this tax bracket, you have to earn a LOT of money, way way more than the average citizen. If you hit this, you still have at least 3x net

Isn't that how it actually works in Norway and Denmark (don't know about Sweden)? "Luxury cars" are taxed like a 100%. My understanding is that Tesla's are so popular over there because those are exempt of precisely

I don't think so. In fact it can make sense to incorporate early, so that you can offset later profits with costs you had during bootstrapping (ddg "Verlustvortrag"). Not to mention that you don't have to pay VAT for equ

I did this a few times and I disagree. The tax consultant can do all this work for you (book keeping, all the tax work, etc). It is not free (I would say ~3k per year for everything a small GmbH needs), but in return you get a limited liabi

Swift on server may not have "great performance", but compared to mainstream stuff it definitely has "pretty good performance" while still providing a somewhat nice language. I guess the key selling point is, well, being

C++ has a stable ABI? Do you have pointers on that?
48.
by helge5 8y ago
An ABI can't really be "additive". If you add stuff to an ABI, it's a new ABI. Unless you tweak the definition of ABI to your liking (like introducing new concepts as "module stability"). Let's say you hav

by helge5 8y ago
Well, one "surprise" is that a new thing called "module stability" was invented. The Swift ABI isn't going to be the ABI-thing you are used to from C (or COM) or JVM or, well ABIs ;-) And sure, they'll give you

I disagree that it is easier or faster to just write it in C. But C still makes a lot more sense for many other reasons. And yes, this demos only the very basics, nothing fancy. Anyways, a nice feature of Swift in this context is that Swi

There is no ImageHub for the new ARM servers - the only images offered are Ubuntu and Jessie, i.e. no readymade Docker setup. Maybe that is obvious, but the new servers can't run Raspberry Pi3 Ubuntu binaries. The old ARM servers also
