   I understand that at first glance this has some appeal to web developers since it looks somewhat familiar to them. But have you actually tested this yourself? This is a seriously undermanned Google project, which at the same time is trying

   According to Rossmann this can also happen if you drop the phone. In which case Apple is known to replace the screen but not fix the touch IC.

   Remember "bendgate"? It turns out that while the bending may not be big enough to be permanent or visible it may still be enough to cause a chip to loosen from the PCB. Louis Rossmann has a great video on the subject edit: Rossman

   The company is under investigation, the auditor has already been fired.

   I find this comment even more disturbing than your first one. What he said was fully reasonable, why do you doubt his ex-affiliation?

   and by Apple paying less, we have to pay more. Why would this not be true?

   You comment makes zero sense. Apple themselves created an extremely complex chain of operations to avoid paying taxes, nobody forced them to do it.

   this looks interesting. Do you have any plans for miband 2 support?

    Samsung just announced Gear 3, and I hear they claim 3-4 days of use of normal use. I assume that is without turning off everything?

    You can't always choose who you can work with. And quite often bikeshedding comes from your boss. I found it more efficient to first make people familiar with the phenomena and when it happens in a meeting just tell them so. Surprising

    It is important that we have a good discussion going on about this very important issue. I invite everyone to contribute to the talk page. But first, should we use TAB or SPACEs in the talk page?

    Qt is currently a mix of old C++ and new js, you could argue whether it is modern or not. I put it as second option since UWP is the native framework for windows 10 and should be considered first.

    I guess the point I wanted to make was that having proper generics in a language is very hard and whats why very few languages attempt to implement it. And people are still arguing whether generics in C++ do more harm than good (i.e. compli

    Hmmm, you are correct, it is easy to ignore these types of errors. I guess I should have read the article more carefully

    regarding #3, have you never seen code like this? try { stuff() } exception(Exception e) { } I would consider complaint #6 a B.

    Are generics really a requirement for a 2016 programming language? Take a look at the TIOBE index, how many of the top 50 languages have _proper_ generics support? http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ edit: not saying gen

    how about MIPS (also recently open sourced)?

    #2 maybe, #7 for sure... But the rest are either (A) it doesn't work the way I want it to work or (B) I haven't read the manual and it's your fault.

    Also, isn't winforms & co. more or less deprecated by Microsoft?

    Most people should write universal apps: modern language, modern tools, modern UI. If you don't like that there is always Qt.

    It would be interesting to hear from people maintaining code that came from these startups. I suspect they would have a very very different view of things :) Maybe something investors should think about? Ehh, who am I kidding...

    I was under the impression that only some parts of the JVM was open and that the high performance server implementations have always been proprietary?

    well... for the size of its pipeline (1?) and the amount of speculative execution going on (0) the non-existing branch prediction of 6502 was basically optimal.

    I think that was the plan after the court fight with Samsung. But after some quality problems (IIRC with LG displays) Apple had to give up the dual-source approach for at least some components. Now the original iphone was probably 80% Samsu

    In addition, could this be worse than what we have today - on 64-bit ARM?

    Have hotspot JVM optimization mechanisms ever been disclosed?
