Using another language that has tooling problems & slow compile speeds, I can understand why that alone would make you not want to use it anymore. After a certain point all of the advantages of the ecosystem starts going away if compile

I guess your wealthier in Dallas than you are in NYC in a way? A short commute usually costs more than a long one.

For me it's mostly a few minor UX things, such as not displaying favicons, or how it behaves with a lot of tabs. Also it's extension ecosystem isn't that great. Stuff like ublock isn't in the official safari extensions

Long commutes and rush hour also sucks in low density suburban america too. I think a lot of the bad sides of high density living for people are unwanted solicitors, bad/old non-soundproofed housing and insecure shipping receiving.

How about all the embedded engineers who go on to become RoR engineers because it pays much better? Google is probably willing to train people too, which might be a difference for you. C++ isn't that fun of a language compared to oth

Hipchat goes terribad in a 20k organization . In things like only delivering pushes to your phone sometimes or getting chat room history when you open the app. I dont know how slack performs in a similar situation.

Having the official authority to do something can just make things a lot faster. People may agree with you, but will want to check with their manager first anyway. If you have title authority, then they don't need to 'check with

Discord missed an opportunity a year or two ago to become something like slack for large companies. Hipchat's perf is horrible and slack couldn't scale to +20k users a year ago. Managing a mattermost instance requires staff and

They do presentations about swift and have twitter employee accounts where they complain about swift :)

Most of this crap comes from the compiler / sourcekit itself, which is a major part of the language. It has scalability problems.

Aha! You haven't hit the LOC barrier that starts to make swift & xcode/source kit act like bsaul described. At around 100kloc you will start to get that experience with swift. While an equivalent 100-200kloc line app writte

How many lines of code does your project use? How complicated is your module structure? Is everything in one huge target or do you split your app into 100s of modules? What do you use for dependency management, what is your deployment ta

It's pretty funny. You get the same tax load in most of canada compared to california, yet the tax laws have far less gotchas like these and you get universal health care. The canada gotcha's are: 1. Everything is more expensive.

I have no idea how anarchist groups work like, I have never encountered one. I'm not an anarchist myself, just like I'm not a pacifist. But I understand where they & their derivatives are coming from. Many human organization

Well you do have several advantages since I'm guessing your probably in texas, nevada, flordia or washington: 1. Your not an immigrant, so you can structure things as a business. 2. You live in a place with a far lower cost of living t

The basic moral foundation of most anarchist philosophy is universal. States do nasty things such as wars, theft, murder, violence, torture, jailing, spying, destruction, etc. If you apply a universal moral standard these things are still c

Apple could charge a licensing fee to developers that equals %30 of app revenues instead in exchange for permission & access to use the iOS SDK and get access to signing keys. If they use the app store, then that %30 is automatically c

Wii fitness was not fitness. It didn't approach anything of a challenge other possibly pushups, planks and a couple of other bodyweight exercises. In VR you have to move a lot more for things to work and the the games are not fitness

It didn't look like a 2000 person company when I went to their office. They do a lot of random platform integrations / clients & testing themselves, which probably increases the engineering team size a bit.

Employment law also makes it harder to hire employees. Every employee hire in places like Germany and such are huge risks to small corps, since it's very hard to fire bad employees who are net negatives, and they know it and abuse it.

Insteon is still an insecure and unencrypted protocol, just the new homekit hub is 'more secure' now, controlling insecure items. You can also install a general homekit proxy with a general nodejs server called homebridge. That h

My guess is the government will create legislation where it requires large marketplaces to automatically withhold taxes by default, such as ebay, airbnb, uber, lyft, task rabbit, amazon, doordash etc.
