I work on an app that has several million active users per month, and I have to admit it's quite the rush sometimes. I never expected to experience that sensation in software development. It definitely made me appreciate all the softwa

Sorry but this is completely false, Swift is certainly faster than ObjC. There are several WWDC talks, independent reviews, and the language designers themselves supporting that. In practice I agree it's easy to write code that's

I think that's quite a stretch, the reasons for decentralized version control (practical use) are far different than a decentralized internet (humanitarianism).

Sorry, but this is a very unimaginative comment. Yes, people use the app differently than you. For me, this would be extremely helpful while traveling. Right now I piece together the information I want from various travel/restaurant ap

Unrelated to the main point of the article, but I really hate when people point out "been programming for XX years, since I was 6 years old!!" Years of experience does not equate to being a skilled programmer. I could play basketb

That's definitely fair, but like the OP is saying, how is that the entire point of using RSS? RSS itself stands for Really Simple Syndication, there's nothing saying that clients can't provide extra convenience and features b

I too switched for several months, but am already back to using Chrome. Even with the performance improvements, it's still noticeably slower than Chrome.

Isn't it only non-linear on the first load? Whenever I open the app for the first time in a while it shows me "top content while I was gone", and after refreshing it appears to be linear again.

I don't use a case for mine and have had it slide out of my pocket while driving, had to fish it out of the crack between my seat and the center console. This was with normal pants too. To be fair my old iPhone7 had the same problem, b

For me, Face ID is a huge annoyance and only works ~25% of the time. I like to have my phone flat on my desk at work and now I have to pick it up every time to unlock it. It also doesn't work well when I'm lounging on the couch, i

Very neat, I've seen a few websites like this pop up over the past year. Some feedback: it would be nice if the order details were part of the URL structure so I can easily share it with people.

I do agree with your sentiment, but is creativity something we want to encourage with security? Security is hard, and most developers won't know when they've made a mistake implementing something. The laws of physics haven't

In Swift you can also reference the enum types directly, like `var h:String? = .some("Hello")`. You're also missing `??` for Swift's version of default values.

Yes, it's totally within their rights to do so, but the walled garden approach is getting old. Microsoft is at least starting to learn to this. If they don't want to port over all of Xcode, at least port xcodebuild and allow us to

Apple needs to drastically simplify how Xcode builds work instead of acquiring more companies. For example, provisioning profiles solve a problem that doesn't exist while creating a dozen more. Xcode is still limited to macOS. On the d

TBH I'm not sure why I left add/remove in, track/untrack is simpler and more in line with what I was saying. :)

I think Git would be way more approachable if things were named better. A key part of Git is whether a file is untracked/unstaged/staged, yet the terminology around this is very confusing. Why aren't commands simply `git stag

This looks very nice, well done. I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Workflowy in here, it's what I mainly use and found it fits my frame of mind the best. It's just infinitely recursive lists that let you zoom in on a partic

And we need to stop thinking of criticism as complaining. I'm very grateful for the OSS dependencies that I use in my projects and often contribute back to them, but I wouldn't touch a project without tests with a ten foot pole. I

FWIW, I'll look at a candidate's Github account whenever they list it on their resume. That doesn't mean I'll bring it up during the interview unless there was something particularly interesting to talk about. It's

First impression looks nice but it really needs a human-readable URL structure. For example, you can't tell the difference between what these link to which will really limit how people share your site: https://stockrow.com&#

My problem with blog posts on SOLID (like this one) is they overcomplicate ideas that should be simple. This entire article could be replaced with: - When trying to make code testable, it's easier to configure from the outside than ins
