Objective-C's OO model is far more dynamic than you may realize. There're no guarantees even on the object reference type at run time, i.e. that the method you are calling will be applied to an object of a specific type or compati

Always wondered about this too, but there doesn't seem to be a way of knowing which implementation your code will end up calling in Objective-C. "Final" would be helpful but there's no "final" in the language.

I find that letting search engines index your content and then paywalling it an unfair practice. The linked article, for example, is entirely googlable but not readable (try to google a phrase from the bottom of the article). Let alone it&#

A simple restart with an OS update would be sufficient for those affected, so no need to do anything extra, at least how I understood the exploit in question.

I think Apple knows this perfectly. I'm not even sure whether the "I'll wait for the S upgrade" people (myself included) outsmart Apple or it's Apple who created the market for those who want to feel smarter than

I think an interesting question is, if the developers of Perl 6 knew from the beginning that they are essentially designing a new language with a new identity, would their new language be different and to what extent?

Exactly, especially if the bouncer comes to work for you for free. Which is what Google and Facebook analytics platforms do: they are free because they benefit from the collected information in ways beyond your control.

by mojuba 7y ago
The problem with belly-up charging is that it's ridiculous quite literally. Maybe usable, but ridiculous, that is all. I think a docking/charging station for the mouse would be more elegant and nice to have, though more expensive

Line number information is usually passed down the chain because it's required for generating debug info anyway. However, as you descend into deeper optimization layers of the compiler, errors are less and less likely to occur. Optimiz

As another extreme, Turbo Pascal's earlier implementations had only one pass. Just straight from Pascal to binary code with some optimizations too. I wonder what the minimum number of passes could be by today's optimization standa

Unfortunately vim is not very useful for coding and debugging iOS apps. Or Android, or Windows for that matter.

True, but nothing is simpler than an arrow key.

Yes, editors usually provide a function for that. But a lot of the times, say you go down where code is indented one level deeper and all you need is to just go right once. That's always faster than any combination of keys your editor

That's a very good argument, but I have another one, also often dismissed: if you navigate using your keyboard's arrow keys (which can be more productive than mouse/trackpad) then jumping over tabs to reach text is just way f
