I only skimmed the page, but if you think CNN represents a left wing view you do not understand left wing politics. Ranking CNN along sides Jacocbin or Fox News alongside Breitbart just shows your political ignorance. This site just comes a

Both what are true? Have you ever lived in Texas? Yes the like most urban areas they trend left and more ethnically diverse. Thus Texas is also trending left. I'm not sure what your point is. Is your point that change is coming for Tex

Lord you bought this story hook line and sinker... > But its pretty diverse, and it seems that folks with opposing viewpoints can still coexist here. I like that... You hear this a lot lately from tech bros. It's hilarious consideri

I went with what they call the "Axial coordinates". I think the alternative, "Cube coordinates", causes a lot of issues and confusion when writing game logic.

This is cool. I recently wrote an A* pathfinding system for a hex based game. Choosing a good coordinate system 100% makes this easier.

I feel like a lot of the things I've read from Paul Graham suffer from the survivor fallacy. The tech industry idolization of him is itself a form of survivor fallacy and its infatuation with "wealth makes right" is almost in

I love Rust and I love the direction its pushing. But these kinds of websites are awful. If you can't get the nuances why Rails/Django/Many other frameworks are a better solution for writing a web server than I dunno what to

As with all things it totally depends on the scale you're at. Redis is an extremely reliable service. I've never "lost" data with Redis.

Both Valve and Alphabet have shipped amazingly successful software. I think w/e they are doing works, that doesn't mean theres other ways that work 2.

Its cool they are using DP for some analytics. But its not quite the holy grail Apple and its fans has been selling it as. Because any analytics campaign using DP will always eventually average out to pure noise or end up being non-anonymou

Theres lots of reasons to use Go. Mine is the language is really stupid simple. Theres nothing fancy in the syntax, you can pick up a project you put down months ago and easily start working on it again

Yea, but the Swift compiler is extremely buggy. Plus its gotten buggier with each release.

The fact my nation is as wealthy as it is but it does not want to invest in the health of its people is insanity to me. Health insurance is essentially a bet that someone's health cost will be less than their monthly premium. Why would

Eventually someones going to create a XML based layout language to use to construct views in the Canvas, we could even call it HTML ;) I'm not a web developer either and I look forward to WASM and its potential. But I really like HTML,

I feel your sentiment. But I always thought getting browsers to adopt Dart was a crazy and impossible idea. I was actually glad when I heard they had abandoned that plan. Flutter confuses me. Its annoying you have to use their DSL for layou

There are some web frameworks that are indevelopment. That does not mean Swift has gained any traction. Also having toyed around with one, the experience was not great. When writing a server, I would take Go over Swift anyday. It out prefor

I get your point, programming language communities all have a certain level of fan-boyism. However I find Swift's community to be particularly abhorrent. I stopped partcipating when people started to ask if certain codes is "Swift

Well that doesn't bode well ;) Sierra's dock is sooo buggy. I have to restart my machine numerous times a day because the dock stops working, literally doesn't work lol. I'm sure theres a way to restart just the dock app

Yup but people love to argue over the small shit. Chris Lattner even refers to ARC as a form of GC.

by devsquid 10y ago
No I'm not confusing them. I'm responding directly to the comment that Chris lattner represents a more measured approach to software development than is tradition in the tech industry. I don't think Swift stands to gain wide

by devsquid 10y ago
Sure Lattner and Musk are interesting people, but I find the level of hero worship in the tech industry to be sickening. Having used compilers for a few new languages (Rust, Go, Dart, Kotlin, Swift). Swift is the only one I've had any
