Thanks for the link! One nice thing about the original post is that it runs inside of a Swift playground, which, for those with Xcode (or an iPad) can be a fast way of learning and experimenting. I could see someone starting with this proje

"practical program development" implies that it is intended to make things and is not just proof of concept, no?

I know that my Japanese friend has been using CotEditor for a long time exactly because of its Japanese text handling.

Really cool. Those who are interested in a similar project should also check out Super Debugger. https://github.com/Shopify/superdb It uses F-Script but, as I understand it, uses its own debugging environment rather t

Tokyo iOS Meetup organizer here. The place where we meet is a company called Voyage Group, which is actually a proper company rather than a co-working space. It is unique in that, as I understand it, it is made up mostly of small, wholly

I actually a similar thought, the other day. (I have worked a lot on international programming teams). What if there were programming languages in which the language had keywords which could change depending on locale? Maybe variable nam

I think he is talking about the localization of code itself (in the case of Android, the Java that the app is written in), not the localization of the user interface element, etc. that the user sees. Imagine a programming language in which

I agree. I've been working in the startup scene in Japan for the past couple years (and at GREE, one of the companies which is mentioned in the article). I have met a lot of very enthusiastic young entrepreneurs, but I am not yet sure tha

I have been running the Tokyo iOS Meetup for the past two years or so. People often stop in looking for iOS developers, so I can get a lot of projects through that.

I have been there the past several times (and will be attending this one as well). I have been able to do some like-minded people and I have done some networking. Mostly, though, it was just a fun social time talking about all sorts of va

That is a good point, and I agree with your argument that this boycott is a significant turning point for Wikipedia and other websites. If we think about the reason that the boycott exists, however, which is the danger that this legislatio

Out of curiosity, do you know what happened if the pin number was a palindrome? Did they restrict your selection to prevent that?

Great Britain was once the world's greatest superpower and yet managed to transition without becoming fascist. I think that history actually shows a diversity of scenarios.

But there is also the lower price to consider. Even if the rarity of the event brought more purchases, with $5 vs the $15 or $20 it would have cost in a more tradition method of sales, the price alone would certainly bring in some customer

Actually, interoperability between apps is possible through things like URL handling and UIPasteboard. I am dreaming of the day that something like the UNIX toolchain can be assembled by sending data from one app to another like this. Eno

I don't know of anything in particular, but this is a topic I have been interested in as well. I've recently been thinking that the training new developers around the world might be the best approach. Don't try to make the apps or program
