Hmmm, one could choose other grocery stores to distribute their products but developers can only distribute their app in one store. If you spent months or years developing an app and apple reject it, you have no way to go. You can’t make it

I personally don't missed Rails mostly because boilerplate doesn't really bother me. I'm more afraid of using the wrong abstraction. Rails (v4 was my last experience) was hard for me and I think my reasoning is as follow: - I

I have a feeling this is not a AMD vs Intel or Apple vs Intel. This is TSMC vs Intel. TSMC basically make the 7nm chip for Apple and AMD. It looks like this company HQ at Taiwan provided the bragging right for Apple and AMD…

As someone who live in Singapore, yeap, pretty much the same experiences. There's a lot of FUD about Singapore strictness but many are exaggerated. E.g. If you smoke, you gonna hate Singapore. Because if you get caught smoking in the w

I love Swift but at 4.2, its still a distance from being useable for me. Swift is suppose to be modern, only to be burden by API compatibility work, which is non trivia. This significantly slow certain important developments like ABI Stabil

2 camps: USD 814M accumulated over a year, legit vs not legit? You don’t really need to think hard, who is these 30 mil, 30 mil deposit? If you divide by a year, they need to have an average 2.2 millions of deposit a day. That’s just to Tet

I agree. It felt like Vue is rewalking the path of React all over again. But I think it’s good that there’s competing library, though the problem domain felt eerily similar.

JavaScript is unlike other languages, it take the big 4 (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and IE/Edge) to come to an agreement to get something done. And standardization takes many years to reach mass adoptions. No language come close to such a

I'm not well verse in economy but I believe much of what US is today is built on being the global dependency. It's like the JQuery of everyone's economy: too big to fail. After Trump inarguration, the world got a shock at wha

It could be challenging I think. But I think tourist visa is 90 days if I'm not wrong. I really recommend visiting. The food is great and the city walk at night is kinda beautiful and very safe. :)

I stay in Singapore and used to work remote. I want to differentiate the tech scene and start up scene. There's a lot of noise in the start up scene just like most places. Over the years, I have definitely seen an increase of entrepren

I can't take anyone who promote JavaScript over any real programming language seriously. first, people build transpiler so that they can build and maintain large codebase without losing sanity. Then you have react that come with this g

Here's the part where I don't get it. Doesn't this happen to other industries, like banking, politic, entertainment, etc? The framing it as “hey tech, we have a sexist problem” is making it sounds like there's no sexist

This comment is why sometimes we techie are kinda delusional. We despise existing solution thinking that we could and should disrupt everything. Tear down everything and build everything from scratch; Our way or the high way attitude. Bitco

Exactly my experience. There's so many hypothetical fixes on the Internet, some seems to improve intermittently and temporarily, some seems to not work at all. But toggling Bluetooth seems be able to get a reaction from the OS at times

If you watch the video and wondering about the multiple subscripts prepended by '?', this technique is called optional chaining. It also work for properties and methods. It is kinda similar to how we can invoke methods on 'ni

This is kinda misunderstanding Apple approach to introducing technology. Apple seldom introduce a technology as intermediary solution or discard them soon after. (the last time this happen that I could remember was GC in Objective-C which i
