The gotcha is “I gave it permission, then revoked permission in the UI, but it still has permission.”

That's not what arghandugh was saying at all. But I'm guessing you know that.

Dyslexia isn’t curable. It doesn’t magically go away with help, techniques, or accommodations —- it just becomes more manageable. He/she probably wouldn’t have gotten into an elite university without that help through childhood.

From what I've read, SwiftUI is using parts of UIKit under the hood, so it also doesn't seem too likely.

GRDB is an invaluable tool to me and, IMO, to the Swift community — thank you for open-sourcing your countless hours of work and expertise!!

Box cake mix almost never tastes better than scratch. Next you’ll tell me store-bought frosting tastes better?

I agree with you, but sounds like a rough problem: https://danielchasehooper.com/posts/why-swift-is-slow/

I share an outrage for mass production of plastic, but not at all for Lego. Lego is a fantastic use of plastic, IMO. Durable, reusable, broad appeal, and designed to be kept, not churned out into the landfill or ocean.

Thank you! This was an extremely helpful explanation to me, as someone not familiar on the topic. =)

Could this be solved by just adding some TOS to his site?

I’m half convinced it’s a difference in how people’s brains work. Dynamic typing adds just so much cognitive overhead for me. Well, that and PTSD from digging through so many horrors created with Python and JavaScript.

Maybe just cancelled due to the short-notice. But, I also wouldn't be surprised if leadership doesn't have great answers to the questions their employees would have asked if the meeting had happened.

Sounds very similar to the problems of using XIBs/Storyboards in iOS dev. (aside from the perf. cost you mention)

Sorta random, but I really appreciate this kind of post on HN. People have tons of domain expertise and hard-earned lessons that get shared like this, and it broadens my awareness without requiring any time investment on my part. Thank you,

Yeah, I'm finding that I also need to understand authentication well enough that I COULD implement it, just to safely and correctly use someone else's implementation.

Yeah, I thought you crafted some Excel monstrosity based on the title. Maybe a mod can change the title for you to say "for Excel." Also, I would be super proud if I'd created this. Excellent work!!!

I would love it. Swift is fantastic, and by far my favorite language to write client code in. (Compared to Rust, TypeScript/JS, ObjC, C++, C#, & Java.)

I feel like me keeping copies of all the code I've ever written is a awkwardly good analogy here.

Yeah, I guess this comes down to how your brain works best, because it's the complete opposite for me -- just listening would result in almost no understanding or retention. But, if I just took even crappy notes, I would remember and u

The way I read it: a larger "Window Of Uncertainty" impacts performance. Having a smaller WOU by using PTP gave them a 100x perf increase in their experiments with the commit-wait solution for "ensuring consistency guarantee.
