Yur app will automatically not bring up the software keyboard. The main issue is that they don't make keyboard shortcuts for things you need to tap on. I don't know of a single app that does that, so you have to type-type, tap-ta

I think this is true (from memory) Unity was already C# before phones and paid Mono to port it to the iPhone. That kicked off Mono realizing that these new platforms could be a source of revenue, and charged for support. Their approach ha

10% is good if you are getting salary. If you aren't, you are a founder -- it should be more equitable, but not necessarily equal. If you get salary, perhaps you and next 2-4 employees should be splitting the 10%. One thing to do is

The much more common alternative is ~3 person offices. I'm going to go out on a limb and say most big software-engineer focused companies have them for a lot of people. E.g. Microsoft. I have been to MS and seen them (but it's a

You are right, I don't know that. But, I have an opinion on the likelihood of future vulnerabilities and my chance of being on top of them (and my ability to assess and remediate). My point was more that I care about the implementatio

The thing that kills me is that rudimentary unit testing of simple functions like this makes development faster. You have to run the code, right? It's easier to run it in a unit test than to set up an environment to run the result. My

The cost to adopting a style checker (if one exists for your language) is very low. Even if one doesn't exist, they aren't very complex -- e.g. Facebook thought it was appropriate to create one for C++ https://code.face

I'm not thinking this through completely, but it seems resilient to a lot of styles. Function calls (which is a lot of what clojure is) are an open parens to start and very likely not to have that close on the same line (because you ar

Yes -- I admit to saying all of those things. I am also saying, I have other concerns that are more important, so what can I do to mitigate the problems by my language's design?

I wouldn't say that clojure is mainstream, but their implementation is reasonable and makes sense in the clojure idiom (just a meta-data map on the function)

by loumf 13y ago
I don't think clojure (or lisp) was designed to avoid line-duplication errors. It's mostly an accident of it being not very line oriented. I just randomly picked a function from core to illustrate this, but a lot of clojure code

I looked at Eiffel seriously in the late nineties. My issue was interoperability and libraries. A little later, he tried Eiffel.NET, but I had moved on by then. Eiffel's main selling points (safer, purer OO) were eventually credibly i

I'm just saying that that distinction is no less catastrophic. It really depends on the line in question, but if a line has side-effects and isn't idempotent, it could be infinitely catastrophic to repeat it unless it causes a sy

I agree that it's totally shocking that Apple did not have an example of each kind of bad cert. Even a rudimentary unit test of this code would have caught this bug. I bet they do now.
