The title here is misleading. Most of this applies to Objective-C. There's nothing wrong with the article as far as programming advice goes, but it has nothing to do with Swift idioms. > So, to make our code more “Swifty” from a per

People have said that since 2012. Steve died in 2011. It's now 2020. Have you really never used an Apple Watch or talked to someone who has?

This. I fly Southwest whenever possible; the loading process appears to be more efficient and is certainly less chaotic than other airlines. The flight attendants are consistently the friendliest I've encountered, too.

No idea what systemd's implementation is meant to accomplish, but, in general, on a memory-constrained system, a binary log can theoretically speed up system performance by taking up less memory, which leads to more available pages for

The publishing rights are where the money is. Owning the masters doesn’t help much.

Asimov is on record as saying he didn’t help new writers because he wasn’t good at it. If the claim is that his behavior cost the speculative fiction world many young women writers, who exactly are the young men who were gained?

To emphasize: Disney has 90 years of back catalog, including a ridiculous number of pop culture touchstones dating back that far.

The original numbered Inside Mac volumes are frequently more accurate than the later 90's revision. They also contain some useful implementation detail (along with, granted, a good deal of extremely obsolete information if you're

I certainly don't disagree that there's too much C++ in Swift (the Swift architects write C++ for a living, not ObjC, so it's hardly surprising) but it's not due to trendiness. Most of the features you mention derive fro

Have you ever used a computer with no or bad mouse acceleration? (If you’re a longtime Mac user, you probably have not.) It’s really unpleasant. It’s one of the things the Mac got right really early on.

it’s notable that a lot of mid-20th-century fear surrounding the increased use of computers was centered around this exact scenario: a black box, the judgement of which cannot be questioned, deciding your fate, with no recourse. We all scof

AEI is a hard-rightish conservative think tank. I’d be wary of trusting anything they publish about money and schools.

Sounds like survivorship bias. x86's longevity is due to the amount of money thrown at the problem. You could surely start with a much cleaner instruction set like the M68k and wind up with a same-or-better result after spending billio

Genuine question: do any of the US state governments serve as a better model?

Wow, I disagree -- I find this incredibly difficult to wade through. It's full of marketing fluff and pointless tangents. I gave up after the first several pages.

Jens is way oversimplifying the developer story around Carbon, FWIW. It existed because Adobe and Microsoft wouldn’t port their apps without it, and that wasn’t going to change in the foreseeable future. It wasn’t deprecated in the technica

The problem with C isn’t you shooting yourself in the foot. The problem is that off-by-one errors and buffer overruns that are trivially easy to produce in C turn into security bugs that affect your users. If you don’t have any users, fine,

As a fellow early TextMate contributor, I find your take 100% accurate to the extent I was around for it. I personally drifted away because I got a new job that took up all my available time. I might have found time here and there to contri

TextMate is native and modern.

Depends on what you mean by "native". The core is compiled to a native binary. But it doesn't use macOS native text editing or UI idioms beyond the level of windows and menus. If you don't want to use TextMate, you might
