(JP from Realm here) Yes, it's all bits, but those bits matter :). The internal query engine is extremely optimized based on the layout of those bits, on a per-architecture basis. Also, integers are adaptively bit-packed, so you should

(JP from Realm here) Yes, that's something we're hoping to add! We're tracking that feature as #3384[0]. Still needs some design work though. [0]: https://github.com/realm/realm-cocoa/issues/338

Thanks for that, although it similarly hasn't swayed me :D

I'm sure I'm missing iTerm2's big appeal, but every time I try to use it, I find myself going back to Terminal.app, which I find more responsive and just as featureful, especially when combined with zsh and a windowing mana

I look forward to trying this out on the TV once the hardware starts shipping. However, I wonder why the Apple TV compatibility wasn't just contributed back upstream to OpenEMU rather than creating a whole new repo for this.

With both iOS & OSX now supporting frameworks, CocoaPods has the potential of becoming much more elegant. See progress on this here: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/pull/2222

SQLite ships with iOS and OSX too, just like Core Data. All you have to do is link libsqlite3.dylib instead of CoreData.framework.

Realm currently supports Swift, though we're actively working to improve our Swift APIs[0]. You can find Swift sample code throughout our docs[1], and in our Swift examples on GitHub[2]. We learnt a lot about Swift introspection and in

JP from Realm here, I worked on our (experimental) Swift support. Swift as a language is pretty unstable right now, but it's clear that Apple sees it as the future of iOS and OSX development. So we wanted to start experimenting with h

Funny that all of these, minus the first one, have next to nothing to do with the language itself, and everything to do with its standard library and external tooling.

Yes, the article is very much of a rant, which is necessary every now and again to prove a point. I also feel that many of the points the author had aren't strictly related to the language, but rather its standard library. Which could

This has the potential of bringing Amazon into an industry they helped create, but were never a major contender in. I'm talking about the space DigitalOcean and Linode now occupy. Hobbyists who need a quick, multipurpose machine might

It's nice to see lots of some experiments come out of Facebook, but they should really be seen and treated as such. Is this a revolutionary product idea? No. Is it a platform for Facebook to see what sticks and then apply to its core o

Hi, speaker here. Let me know if you have any questions. The video starts off with the basics but gets into some pretty obscure, and interesting, internals on how things work.

Just because support for multiple platforms is the goal doesn't mean that it has to share the same code base. Actually, for the author's simple use case (REST API), writing per-platform would probably have taken as much code as th

What an insightful way to put it. It's more than that, though. Learning business tips differs from learning about a technical topic. Business advice does usually state something obvious, but underlines its importance. There are a milli

Here's what I've tried (mostly just for kicks) and my thoughts: 1. Native (iOS/Android) 2. Native (iOS/Android) with some content in webviews 3. PhoneGap (iOS & Android, cross platform, same app) 4. Xamarin (iOS) 5.

Native apps take a lot of time to build, especially when you are a web-developer True, just as writing in any language you're not familiar with will take longer. For even a semi-experienced iOS/Android developer, it can be faste
