I don't use swift in a backend context, but from the iOS side: * The debugger & indexer fails often. * Build times are slow and source kit (the 'IDE features' server/library) has performance/stability problems.

You can do that today with iOS apps theoretically too & just use command line xcodebuild. You'll be missing all of the IDE things that swift is struggling with although.

Just going by my experience in Canada, most people don't buy too much extra. You still have to get dental & vision although, but the costs for that are minor. Many don't buy any health insurance at all.

Your workplace probably pays $500/month for your health insurance. If the employer has to stop paying that and you pay $500/month in taxes instead, it will be about break even anyway. Or even less, since I more forsee a %1-%2 ta

In Canada it's like one very large HMO that covers the country or province. Part of single payer is not being able to avoid participation. I don't know if your provider will be able to avoid participating unless they move out of

It's around $50 for 'off plan' visits (your not a canadian resident, or it's not covered by the healthcare plan). The math should be $120/hr for the office. The assistant gets $20/hr and the doctor gets $100&#

I think they are confused by the downloading of JavaScript files and executing that inside a 'native context'. I looked at how rollout did their stuff in detail a while back, so i can see how its easy to confuse the two.

It was easy to detect because they are not to trying to hide it. They just have to check if the library exists.

There are various phases that I've observed: 1. They can't move stage. Depending on their sleep schedule, this is easy, or it's still tiring. 2. They can move. They still have the baby sleep schedule. No sleep, no time. 3. T

Decentralization will keep on losing until it is more economically efficient. And performs better. Kind of like solar.

An objc swizzle is not native code injection, it's a function pointer swap. They swizzle the method to their general objc message handler which then executes a piece of javascript code. For swift they basically patch the app before it

They don't 'see' the code. They run a program on the binary for some obvious checks and do a QA smoke test of the app itself.

Apple's review isn't that useful in this case as a pre-check, it is possible to avoid it if you want. Apple review does automated code checks & a reviewer manually using your app. With that review process you can deliver exe

It's really sad, because that kind of stuff lets you fix bugs / mitigate outages in the wild without having to wait on apple's schedule.

What is the trap / bad part in Canada?

by mahyarm 10y ago
Some countries let you pay taxes on liquidation, others demand to be paid on receiving something, despite it being impossible to liquidate. The USA is the second kind of country with AMT, and that is the fundamental problem.

Apple is kind of like that as a side effect. If you have the stamina and have the qualifications for it, you can interview separately for +10 different teams if you wanted to, with independent interview stacks. You won't have a tria

If tech companies were to ever have a dress code, it would be jeans, a graphic tee and a full sleeve hoodie. Or a collared shirt. The hoodie might still be required.

It's why everyone focuses on making something on some cross platform abstraction layer or something similar. In many ways, things like amazon lambda are a 'new os'.

Uber & lyft is really bad at showing how it works because the system is over complicated. The way it looks is they are getting ripped off all of the time and so they don't like it. http://therideshareguy.com/how-do

I avoid a cigarette tax by not buying cigarettes. I avoid more property tax by moving to a lower property tax state. Will you jail me for tax avoidance in either case?

Many interviews are not pure whiteboard algos. And many interview processes are different, each company is unique. When I interviewed a couple of years ago, I saw various kinds of interviews at companies: * 1-2hr on site coding exercise, w

This kind of argument is like shaming people for not using solar panels or some other green tech because they are too 'lazy' to make the sacrifice. Or shaming people for not using linux as their desktop operating system. Or for
