Nope. On closer inspection, it's a tablet resting on a stand; it's not mounted with a VESA clamp or arm like most monitors would be. You can see the USB charging cable is plugged into the side of the tablet as well. When you compa

Actually it wasn't too long ago, in the early-2010's, that Microsoft was promoting SharePoint for internet sites; I think at one point some Europoean car manufacturer (BMW? Ferrari?) had their global marketing site on SharePoint.

The article itself is evidence. There are many more links in it to other stories that report on basically the same or similar incidents. There are also several names in the article itself that you can research or probe on your own to tell i

True, but at that point it's still not too late to prevent paying money that will ultimately end up in the NK government hands.

To be fair, LLVM wasn't an Apple-initiated project, but one Apple noticed and decided to adopt later on (they hired Chris Latner in 2005; LLVM began in 2000, and had its first public stable release in 2003). Unlike Swift, there was nev

Yes this exactly. People are also conveniently ignoring or forgetting that Apple kept changing the ABI for Swift binaries - it wasn't until 'v5' did they lock it down. Objective-C is 30+ years old and only once had this issue

Well kinda; even in a tracing GC language like C# you have things like WeakEventManager ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.... ) to prevent memory leaks when using callbacks as event

I'm going to call it now: Swift on the backend is pointless for everyone but Apple, and trying to make it takeoff as a backend service language is as pointless as porting Xcode cross platform and trying to lure non-Apple devs into usin

Many of their SaaS offerings are, but many infrastructure offerings are running Windows Server underneath. Rent out any Azure VM, and regardless of guest OS, it's using Hyper-v underneath as the hypervisor.

That's probably overstating it; it is definitely true that his redesign of iOS 7 (2013) was truly awful - he really should not have been anywhere near software, and was able to take advantage of Scott Forstall's then bad reputatio

Rewriting those commits would effectively allow them to erase their mistake, which kind of lets Microsoft off the hook in a way.

This is probably exactly what happened. I bet he used Chrome as well. It doesn't really help that Google Chrome keeps history basically forever (on the order of months), even without signing into a Google Account.

I don't think C# would've been a good fit for flutter in its early days, but definitely Flutter should no longer be tied to a single language like Dart. I think you should definitely consider stronger cross-language support.

It's much much more complicated than that. Sun refused to add many language features that Microsoft (then a cautious but also genuine user of Java) wanted. Such as refusal to add delegates/closures: https://benhutchison

The Lumia series of phones had solid hardware but Windows Phone OS was crap, so the product line itself could never be competitive enough; I mean Nokia singlehandedly died at the braindead decision to go with Windows Phone and not Android.

Interesting that use of Objective-C/C++ is still climbing at a seemingly unchanging, linear rate. Look, Swift's a great language and all, but it's become grossly sophisticated and complex to the point of being a bloated pig;
