First time I looked at the framework, I expected to be able to read existing contacts, and create new contacts. I was a little surprised at editing existing contacts. Nothing is really stopping an app with permission switching all of your c

Perhaps I’m way off (I haven’t had a lot of experience with machine learning), but mapping this sort of thing seems like something a neural network could learn to do extremely well. There may be hardware limitations or reasons to why this c

Agreed - I'd love to see it more widely adopted. It's a great language. Once both ABI stability and a native concurrency model have been implemented, Swift would be in an even stronger position to take on these languages. I'm

As of iOS 11/Xcode 9 vector images are supported which is quite nice. It may still convert to PNG for backwards compatibility though, I’m not sure if App thinning discards the PNG for iOS 11 devices.

Not enough to make this my day job, while paying off a mortgage unfortunately. For short durations it has been, although my living expenses are much higher now than they once were. It's also very seasonal - it closely follows the downl

Sure, those follow the start of school/college semesters across various countries. It's actually quite nice, it means some periods of the year (like now) have relatively low usage so I can spend time on other projects. Approaching

The author mentions that Apple often nudge their idea of the future forward each year at WWDC. I see no different with Swift: the introduction of Playgrounds, teaching resources, finesse over small details, etc - to me indicate Apple wants

Are you suggesting that children in poorer families are born less smart than children from wealthier families?

by jordansmithnz 9y ago
It never ceases to amaze me how much our life is determined by something we have zero control over - the family we are born into. "Life isn't fair" couldn't be more true here I guess. This isn't to say that social s

In regards to the tool mentioned that provides information about binary size contribution... ("If you want to see this open-source. Just scream out loud") I am screaming out loud. Please open source this!
