There is one clear difference between past releases and current releases which would mean you and the complainers could both be right: the length of the release cycle. Starting with Mountain Lion, Apple committed itself to a yearly releas

I can't take that seriously without them demonstrating an equal amount of work on the software end of the iPad. I am a huge believer in the potential of the iPad -- I was blown away by the original iWork and even more so by Garage

You should use https://runkit.com (disclaimer: I work at RunKit). It lets you try node in your browser, and you can easily switch to any version of node, and additionally we've pre-installed every package.

At RunKit we back code executions not only with Docker (which “freeze dries” the filesystem), but with CRIU, an awesome open source project that “freeze dries” the state of the memory as well. This allows you to “rewind” code executions wit

A paradigm shift indeed. Anyone can pick up your phone, point it at you, and then get access to all your apps (banking, etc). I recently went to Disneyland and the way it works with normal passes now (not year round), is that they point an

This is pretty disingenuous because one elected official is oftentimes overloaded with multiple responsibilities. In this case the FCC chairman was appointed by the president (Barack Obama). Are you implying that the REAL way to deal with t

Some of these points are true of currying in general -- IMO most of the time you can't tell what's a function call and what's a curry (Haskell people would say "its the same thing!"). However, separating these conce

Every iOS has been a mess since iOS 7 at least, and the reason seems pretty straight-forward: every year there is an expansion in scope while maintaining a strict 1-year development cycle. This necessarily means that the bugs start to pile

What are you embedding v8 into exactly? What happens if I figure out a buffer overflow in v8? What do I break out into? Is it solely process isolation? Is it in a container? A VM?

One of my fears about doing this at the CDN level is that now introducing a new syntax feature means you need the browser to support it AND the version of the Binary AST compiler on your CDN. Imagine using a new JS keyword and all of a sudd

I actually think gzip serves as a good example of this issue: this comment alone is daunting to a beginner programmer and it really shouldn't. This chrome/cdn thing could ALSO be auto-gzipping for you so that a beginner throwing f

Totally understandable if its not possible, but if the error is in a package for example, RunKit might be a big help. We've put a ton of work in making great stack traces: http://blog.runkit.com/2017/02/01&#x2

I've written an in depth blog post on "generic jsx", which turns JSX into function bind/currying syntax that would work fine in any framework (or not framework at all, as we currently use it). http://tolmasky.

I think a good approach would be to have web browsers limit the amount of memory ads can use on a given page. This would hopefully align incentives: we understand that ads are necessary for the web, but ad makers have to work on efficiency

I think that would be the eventual goal, Objective-C minus C. Objective-C in a lot of ways was a vehicle for AppKit/UIKit, and that experience does not necessitate the C compatibility in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the C compa

Also, for the record, before Apple got serious about protocols, AppKit and WebKit were full of respondsToSelector: mumbo-jumbo, so you're just wrong about Objective-C not being weakly typed. If I can type it weakly, then it is weak

Uh oh, about to get into an argument over terms that have no precise definition, but I believe that in the context of Objective-C vs. Swift, Objective-C is perfectly fair to be considered weakly typed. In fact I think that in the context of
