You do not need to download Xcode via MAS, you can download the disk image directly from their developer website. Going through the MAS has been historically very painful for that big app and the day it is the only option is the day I proba

You are just projecting your own snobbishness onto others with these reactionary comments. I don't even care what other books you've read and liked like my sibling response requests... let's see what books you've writte

Not to mention the cost of your time, which should factor highly for well paid people that can afford to fly anyways, and if you are low paid, it’s likely your vacation time is scarce, so you wouldn’t want to use it all in the transport. Th

Xplat FWs are just technical debt to prove a concept. Once you find critical mass the first order of business should be converting to native so you can remove that entire layer of additional complexity. Similar to paying down student debt t

How do you know things wouldn’t be much much worse if there were no standards for being a civil/structural engineer or architect that have been refined over long periods of time? Imagine municipalities taking the lowest bids by far thr

After working for basically 25 years straight since high school, I’m really wanting to take an extended sabbatical from the software industry to do my own thing. I’m scared that the longer I stay out though, the harder it will be to reenter

Yes, I remember it being really finnicky when it was first released, and lots of head scratching getting the docked version back. I don't know which iOS version you're using, but I was pleasantly surprised by the newer ability to

They're speaking relatively. And if you don't know the other side of that coin, consider yourself lucky.

Have you tried using the floating keyboard? I exclusively use it on my iPad not only for saving the screen real estate but also because I can swype on it (even though I can touch type on the big on-screen keyboard just fine; I still find it

I’m still not convinced a human form factor is the best solution there. Why not fixed articulating arms at the laundry/sink locations instead of bipedal robots that must maintain balance and locomotion between the spots? Maybe if that

Maybe. But if it is a worse design for tasks A, B and C and harder to build, why not go with the simpler and more specialized design for each separate task? Is the economy of scale really that much better with the general design? I’m not co

Sure, but I think the typical path for those who survive and strive in a CS program is to have touched a computer for the first time well before starting work on a college degree for it. That's like trying to learn a foreign language

They’re basically a data broker for businesses, like Experian/Equifax/Transunion except more self-reporting based. The amount of spam I received after registering with them was so annoying.

They’re fractions of ounces, and many people can convert between grams and [fractions of] ounces for this reason. But I doubt they’re the people that would oppose the metric system based on ideology.

Yes, I mentioned Discussions in another comment, and that’s the other piece that makes Issues more usable, by siphoning away a lot of the noise that masks the signal. Take away all the me-toos, requests for updates, and discussions of simil

Not even that would be good enough because a lot of sham reqs still interview and then reject later.

Huh, so it mentions 4GLs… what generation would we consider rust/kotlin/swift then?

> Some first-class way to differentiate between backlog and todo That sounds like projects and statuses/milestones. Then the issue list becomes the backlog.

I would expect it to create a tree of comments using the UI from discussions. The linear nature of comments on issues and PRs is cumbersome.

Absolutely. The sum total of reasonable requests can be an unreasonable system. It’s a paradox just like Gabriel’s horn: finite volume, infinite surface area. Reading through this comment section makes me see exactly how something simple li

This is exactly what I do, but I wonder if, in the case of calls, whether even letting it go to voicemail also indicates at least the possible presence of a human. If the line were simply unreachable, like those messages you get from the

Labels have been able to do this for years, why are they not a sufficient solution? And even if they elevated these to first class items, nothing is stopping maintainers from still closing them or letting them be closed without the issue ha

fixup works with rebase if you add the -a flag for autosquash. try it and you’ll see the commits already reordered for you in the interactive menu. also you can write HEAD~2 as @^^ if you want to save a couple keystrokes!
