You don't have to agree, but you're quoting out of context. Here's the lead-in: > Gamers would have to accept jagged edges, tearing textures, and a generalized visual crudity in 3D games for quite some time to come. A free

Objective-C zero-initializes ivars, and it's common to rely on this. The big problem is that you still need to test that code is doing the right thing when it encounters a nil state. If you define away the zero states completely with s

There's no chance to fix systemic issues of any sort unless the Dems take the Senate. It wouldn't hurt to persuade Biden to make it part of his first-100-days package.

Linux also had a very clear story for access to source code and a clear structure for accepting/rejecting contributions.

Let's be very clear. Bloomberg has a lot more charisma in public than Zuckerberg. And so does Hillary Clinton! That's not saying much! Any elected official above a certain level has some amount of charm.

Well, Mazda is going in the opposite direction. More and bigger screens are certainly the way of the future for most cars/SUVs, but I'd advocate strongly for a large set of ergonomic, reassignable hard controls. The best thing abo

FWIW, I find Reeder to be faster and slightly more reliable than NNW on the same hardware. I'm switching to NNW anyway because the UI is so much better. Reeder's custom UI feels fluid, but it's really easy to do things like a

It is absolutely a terrible use of Core Data. Raw sqlite or wrappers are fine for that and will be considerably less difficult to debug when something goes wrong.

Mostly, yes; but the folklore like (paraphrasing) "don't use Core Data for this particular purpose" is also critical and isn't as easy to come by except through bitter experience (or war stories from other developers, if

The whole point of the app is to provide native macOS/iOS UI. I use Feedly to sync with NetNewsWire on iOS (and will on the Mac once it's supported, supposed to be in next update).

I don't buy that. The Republicans would have killed the filibuster when they were next in power. This was simple acknowledgement by Democrats of the changing nature of the Republican party.

Nintendo's early days were in the nineteenth century (1890's, if I'm not mistaken). Not quite a startup.

Fast compile time isn't actually that hard for a C-like language. Good code optimization and fast compile time is hard.

I'll do you one better and say that CodeWarrior 1.x was the high water mark. 2.0 and later were slower. Xcode is not bad now, though, and I think I'd miss the extremely robust autocomplete.

Two corrections: - Adobe was uninterested in supporting Display PostScript by 1997. The cost was secondary. - Quartz / Core Graphics is based on the PDF rendering model, which is derived from PostScript. You use C graphics routines to
