Ask Apple, who hide it from you in Xcode and riddle it with human-unreadable generated IDs and noise elements, in addition to needless reshuffling of elements after editing which overcomplicate your diffs and obscure the meaning of changes.

Idempotency is a good example of a trivia term that would be unreasonable to expect most recent CS graduates to know. Not to say that it's not a valuable property for a service or library or whatever to have under certain circumstances

I'm a little confused as it looks like an image in the article labels a string literal as being a comment. Am I misunderstanding something?

They're promoting this as a new dev environment for .NET Core, but there's still ZERO tooling for Razor. I tried starting a simple example project and the .cshtml files didn't even have any syntax highlighting, let alone synt

It seems like the "ASCII puke" concrete syntax for regex patterns doesn't scale that well. Regular expressions have binary operators, parenthesization, named groups, lookaheads, etc.-- if you're building a sophisticated

I don't see why there can't be React-like libraries written and used in languages that compile to native. I'm not expecting to have JSX but I should be able to write component classes and implement their render methods, retur

I'm pretty sure this is why the Apple online store needs to be taken down for them to add new products.

The file changing just from being looked at is one of the basic reasons that IB is bad. Apple made a grievous mistake in designing UI markup that is intended to be hidden from developers. Un-organizable, un-diffable toxic sludge.

It's absurd to have to beg the wealthiest software company in the world for what should be considered really basic stuff. Xcode is consistently unstable, slow, missing simple essential functionality (like refactoring), and Apple'

Every tool for its job. If you have serious dynamic behavior and you try to handroll it yourself, you risk either low maintainability and bugs in your bespoken optimized DOM manipulation algorithm or doing things in fundamentally inefficien

Haven't had the chance to try it myself but I have read quite a bit and I like what I see, particularly the high quality error messages in the compiler. However, I think I'd have a hard time getting my team on board with it as we

I know what you mean with regard to event handlers being passed down to children and children of children and so on and the complexity that can bring. I haven't used redux, but I understand it as being an attempt to simplify that kind

One of the biggest reasons I favor React is that it's much easier to add a templating language to a programming language (i.e. JSX) than the other way around. Every construct for making decisions based on your data, traversing your dat

Get rid of most of the padding and headgear so the players don't feel like they have the ability to take such hard hits--because as far as their brains go, they don't have that ability.

The wait for the new MacBook Pro is agonizing but I am convinced it will sell like hotcakes when it finally comes out.

Do you have any examples you care to share of Swift that needs cleaning up?

Beyond being a little more explicit about the generator semantics, it's just noisier . "Self.Iterator.Element" is a lot of noise compared to "T". At the moment, I feel these sequence extensions are just allowing pe

Honestly, comparing the choice of mucking with code signing on OS X and having to deploy, run, and debug my app through Docker, I would just learn to sign code. I do think it's weird that more debuggers don't come as signed binari

This is great. Seems less cumbersome than TypeScript's user defined type guards for distinguishing cases of a union. The sentinel value concept is something you could at least steal when creating user defined type guards to make them s

by fleshweasel 11y ago
Thanks for elaborating on the distinction. User defined type guards can get you some of the way there to distinguishing "int | int", but you don't get it for free-- the reality of being a superset of JavaScript. https:/

I strongly disagree about TypeScript-- I think it's a huge boon to productivity. TypeScript has has union types i.e. "number | string" which are similar to algebraic data types. TypeScript also has optional interface members

I'm basically glad to see the Type suffix removed from the standard library protocols. I'm hoping that they'll have a solution to make it so writing a function over a generic sequence isn't such a mouthful. I'm a li
