If you trouble yourself over regret on how you didn't get rich that one time, while still living a life that is probably in the upper 90th percentile comfort-wise, you aren't doing yourself any favors. Money is just numbers, and i

There are good and bad redesigns and there's hyperbole. Most of Windows/Facebook/iOS outcries are hyperbole. Reddit's new design is just bad. For a good example of a slick modern redesign look at new Gmail.

Well said. It can be very sobering, that’s why I personally have no intentions of quitting the startup / freelance life.

Just typical zealotry. So instead of globals we should use DependencyInjection, and now the app is magically better? For many projects it hardly matters, and I'm not going to over complicate things when there's no practical reason

Yes I'm not that naive to not realize there are very good reasons the world works this way :). But I think its good to sometimes think about the big picture, how we ended up with these structures in place, and how we can improve for fu

The concept of citizenship and passports always seemed so archaic to me. I never signed a contract with anybody, yet the place I was born in ultimately decides the boundaries of the space I'm allowed to live in. Thankfully there is a l

Remember when Instant Messaging protocols used to be open? When there was a multitude of clients for any given service to chose from? Now IM has left its early adopter stage and became an integral part of everybody's life, but in doing

Is he's talking about this thing? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/611149H28WL... Because I absolutely love it, been coding on it for years.

That's very cool, could be a interesting problem for using machine learning. Train it with all the pictures of tree rings with known age, and then see if it can reliably guess the age of something it hasn't seen.

The whole package this year looks pretty good. A great step towards modernizing the clusterf*ck that has been Android Development. JetPack is thoughtful collection of APIs along documentation, essentially providing solid guidelines on &quot

Also very simple but highly useful Extension: Cookie AutoDelete Deletes cookies & local storage after you leave a website. You can whitelist a few domains like Github etc. for convenience. The only downside is you'll get "priv

This is a good thing. While very similar, UIKit blows AppKit away in terms of API usability and design. Also, I think it's perfectly fine to write macOS apps using UIKit, would be similar to making iPad apps. It needs a few Desktop&#x2

Wow this looks really good. Apple still the master of eye candy IMHO. Not gonna install the beta tomorrow though, you just know by now it's gonna be unusable at first. Also I hope the editor gets a lot of improvements. I'm convinc

I would only consider something like Typescript mandatory, because static typing is just so hugely important for any maintainable project. But beyond that, it's a little more work to come up with a clean MVC pattern yourself, but also

This is unacceptable, Apple will have to give in on that one. I hope Valve is going to fight them with everything they can do, so this gets resolved in a timely manner. Many people were looking forward to use the app.

Man i gotta disagree with almost all points in this article. Name-Shadowing is confusing? Should be common sense to not have multiple variables with the same name in the same scope. Optionals are ugly in Java-Interop, so we decided to just

Damn that sounds even more dystopian, can you imaging it "Hello how can I help you? - Hi, beep, I like to reserve a table? - Ok, beep, beep, on second - Mhm-mm beep, beep, sceech, 011000101010...."

This is so opinionated. What's so hard to understand about Bitcoin as an alternative to fiat currencies? Yes, its real, its a store of value, and you can use it for payment if the seller is willing to accept Bitcoin. And yes giving you

Well usually IMF throws out some loans to keep the boat floating, but Venezuela would need to be open for that path first. Some people think that comes at the cost of sovereignty, but what can you do markets are markets for a reason.

Haha yes users are idiots. But as someone making mobile apps for over decade, "being elitist about it" is not going to accomplish anything. You'd think any rational mind would have no trouble figuring it out, and compared to

ARC an be a real pain with closures though. I'm often discouraged to use them in Swift, because I can't be bothered to figure out if I have all my references correctly set. GC lets you not worry about it. It comes with its own dis

I think server side Kotlin will steal all the thunder from Swift. It's very similar in style, but JVM stack makes it more versatile, IntelliJ tooling is leaps ahead, and the language seems to a bit more smarter designed overall.

We'll see, but some technologies have the potential to change the face of the planet in ways we can barley imagine. If nuclear fusion takes off, we have more power then we ever need, and mass pumping Co2 out of the atmosphere could be

This is good news, but also shows how little we actually understand the complexity of our bodies and our brain in particular. We have good antidepressants, but besides observing the positive effects, there doesn't seem much of a consen

Maybe they want to do DiamondCoin, a crypto currency backed by diamonds, could be neat.

That's just all the hyperbole Apple gets. Security is one of the biggest strongpoints of Apple. Look at recent Meltdown/Spectre issue, macOS, iOS, tvOS all got fixes deployed immediately, just press a button to install. Meanwhile
