It seems like an anti-pattern to me. Also saying Apple reinvented the cursor is a bit much. Highlighting elements, snapping, and changing the cursor weren't just invented. The author really bought into Apple's marketing here.

I've found Chrome OS to provide the most Mac like experience outside of Mac. Its Linux app support is still in development, but I successfully made a Unity game on my Chromebook!

Rider is a great C# IDE thats fully supported on Linux too!

Glad to see Vapor/Perfect has toned down their "we are going to change the world by releasing a new web framework" rhetoric on their sites. When they both first did announced them it was pretty cringe

Value types are great, but they don't help cut down on cyclical references as the type of coding that will cause memory leaks is done in objects. Typically objects with complex dependencies and inheritance hierarchies. Memory fragmenta

My main issue of Swift's implementation of ARC is it commonly leads to memory leaks. Even experienced developers can cause unintentional memory leaks. It's extremely common in iOS development. It's also hard to even detect an

Also using a Swift like ARC implementation server side that doesn't seem like a good idea. Memory leaks are so common in iOS development. Its just they are usually small enough and an iOS application lifetime is so short it doesn'

I have written server's in Kotlin, that run on the JVM and thus are practically the same. IMO I am far more productive then using Swift, plus you have access to a huge legacy of stable, well thought out, and documented libraries.

I work in Swift on iOS. I think the "Swift on a server" idea is way over hyped. There are so many issues with the whole Swift stack adopting that servers side would be a mistake IMO. One of issues with Swift on a server is ARC vs

I am not a fan of VS Code. It feels clunky and slow. Also Rider's auto complete is much nicer and faster. So I have considered F#, but it doesn't seem that compelling. Also it seems like the tooling is worse on other platforms.

I have been using C# a lot recently. I can't stand it. It feels like it it lacks a coherent design. I'm not a huge Java fan either, but at least it feels coherent to me. I have used a lot of different programming languages and can

I'm sorta in the same boat, but after Google announced Chromebooks will be getting first party support for Linux apps that is tempting me. I occasionally work on Linux, but I would love something more polished like ChromeOS.

Does anyone know if this will effect how V8 parses JSON?

I have run into the issue a few times. I've run into it most frequently when doing binary operations on 64bit numbers. When I first ran into the issue with going over `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`, it took me a long time to figure out that

Ish thats the point of open source. Its not misusing a project to fork it and build something new off of it. WebKit itself was originally a fork.

XCode 9 is unsurprisingly terrible for me. Between it and the Swift tool chain, they use over 10 gbs of memory and constantly using 100% of my CPU. XCode 9 seems like an improvement over 8 in some cases, but its way less stable, uses an ins

This is a known weakness with differential privacy. Depending on how much noise you inject into your data, your analytics either approach meaninglessness or the privacy decays. The hype machine surrounding Apple did not want to hear this an

This sort of baseless speculation is not fruitful IMO. But I'll participate with my own hunch. I don't think this is the case. The letter comes off as very genuine. It very much feels like what a immature "tech bro" woul

I don't think you're correct. However I do not have a lot of experience hiring people, so I can only argue over the philosophy of the subject.

I agree that the left and the rights reaction over the memo has been overblown. However I am unsure whether or not you think the Googler's opinion is novel. You state both, "that Damore’s skepticism about current practices is wide

It might be their size. I can say as a small team, the transition was seamless.
