It's expensive, but it looks like Apple can afford it.

Objective-C was hailed as the one true OO language by its smug fans, then Apple said one day that it's legacy software and it became legacy.
Many still don't completely understand that and try to argue that it should be somehow brought back.

To those I ask: did Apple bring back the floppy, DVD, thick laptops and non-butterfly keyboards? No. Objective-C is destined for oblivion and it's time for you all to accept that.
Thank you for the suggestion! You are right, weirdly I didn't notice.
Fixed.
Best I can tell, they already encrypt a whole load more and are ready to encrypt everything. When setting up a new iPhone, I’m asked to enter my Apple ID, password, approve via an existing device, provide 2FA and then provide the PIN or password of that existing device. After all that, access is granted. To me, this suggests they’re already encrypting in such a way that while it may be brute force-able, it’s unlikely to be data they can read by default.

I think there's a pretty good opportunity here for a large format combined playspace/toystore. Build out the toy area around some hands-on demo spaces, and include the normal playspace items nearby with climbing structures and coffee/alcohol for the parents. The key is: charge admission, then credit back the admission price toward the purchase of any new toy.

People are terrible calculating sunk cost, and I'm pretty sure that the pre-paid $15 admission credit makes a $29 toy look like a "steal", even if you could buy it on Amazon for $24. In fact, I'll bet most parents would be hard-pressed to leave the experience without buying something for every child.
The article specifically addressed your suggestion. It said people had been suggesting that ever since community papers declined, but there's been no replacement.

It's still good to look for a replacement, but I think you may be being a bit blasé about it.
> I think it's a toss up between Python and Ruby, but my bet is on Python

What on earth could make you people think Ruby is even a contender? Do you ever look at ANY language usage stats?

If there is a toss-up in dynamic languages the toss-up is between Python and JavaScript and with JavaScript's dominance in the front-end and Python's in data science it's likely to be a turf divide rather than a toss-up.

I also agree with the author.

I think Swift solves the problem of jailbreaking. If iOS were written entirely in Swift, there would be no jailbreak tweaks, because there is no method swizzling.

I see Swift as an evolution of C++, similar to Java and C#. Plenty of people can program in Objective-C, but not many people actually understand it IMO. I think an expert Objective-C programmer can be more productive than an expert Swift programmer. But Swift is better for large teams of average, interchangeable programmers.

I think those who say that are more productive in Swift were simply not very productive in Objective-C. People who are productive in Objective-C will despise having to work with another layer of abstraction that provides no benefit for them (it prevents bugs that they never created in the first place).
Unfortunately doing so would be extremely difficult. Good quality Linear MOSFETS are decreasing in availability as everyone (including the analogue guys) switch to using them in saturation mode. There are exceptions but by virtue of being the exception they are expensive.

A lot of MOSFETs don't even spec their linear regions anymore. The trend is away from linear.
The vast majority of people are raised with either a shame model or a guilt model. If there is any way for it to be interpreted as a judgy lecture that "you're doing it wrong!", most people will take it that way.

If people hear it the way you hear it, that's great. But a lot of people won't hear that. They will just hear some new source of Puritan guilt and that tends to be counterproductive.
You make it sound like OOP is an inherently bad thing, and OOP is not mutually esclusive with FP as you seem to imply with your Haskell reference.

Funcional can be considered an alternative vs imperative and declarative, and usually languages are a mix of the three.
And any of these 3 style can support OOP.

BTW, plenty of half-decent languages don't have generics.

You are insinuating both Websense and me that we are not informed about the current state of Sourceforge. Insinuating your potential users like this is in poor taste considering you are the president of Sourceforge.

I am very much aware and I followed the HN thread [1] when you acquired Sourceforge and when you commented extensively trying to reassure us that you will turn Sourceforge around. Sure you have made efforts but I think it is quite clear that the good measures you took came a little too late.

Frankly, your comments in that acquisition thread [1] were more balanced and matured. The comments you are posting in this thread are coming off as immature.

You also seem to be misinformed about Websense. Websense and other web application firewalls and content gateways are very much in use in many corporate networks including mine. Looks like I am not the only one with this issue.[2]

The article really undersells criticism #2 (they block sidewalks). In their short time in SF I saw scooters laying down in the middle of sidewalks, blocking bus stop curbs, left in tight construction corridors, left in front of building entrances and leaned in front of muni turnstiles.

People also take a wide berth around the scooters so they congest sidewalks even if leaned to one side.

If they come back I hope they do it by replacing the stupid bike docking stations with scooter docking stations. Scooters are a better fit for that model. Pay homeless ppl to return them to the docks and solve two SF problems at once

I am not arguing democratic ideals are bad. Obviously these norms and standards can be introduced to any culture and assimilated over time. What I am arguing is that the method that seems to have been used to get people to accept them doesn't work, was never going to work, but mostly that forcing the construction of certain legal/cultural rights onto groups as part of some international framework was bound to have issues. It has been done in a very sort of, "To join our club, you have to believe that this thing we made up is a universal truth."

As an example, the concept of authors' rights is something that is enforced through the Berne Convention and the original signatories in 1887 were shockingly all Western (or Westernized) nations. Acceptance of it is a WTO membership requirement. The existence of authors' rights is not a thing in some cultures and it is orthogonal to democratic values, but in order to play ball in the global arena, you have to agree that it is a thing.

You dont need full time parent at home. That is really not the need. I also agree that "your child should do more chores" is just another guilt tripping of parents. If your child is lazy to wash dishes after dinner, absolutely needs to do more. But, as long as the child contributes without temper tamtrump to age-appropriate activities you all do and are needed (and still have time to learn and play), it is perfectly fine.

There is no need to artificially emulate a group of people living in different environment and situation.

> In my view, programming language choice is cultural yet is always framed as something objective.

I agree, and think that the culture around a programming language is one of the most important attributes, so we should not be afraid to talk about human factors like cultural fit. Your choice of programming language is usually limited to a short list of the ones that have the tools and libraries to support what you are doing, but IMO it's perfectly reasonable to choose a particular language because you and your team like the culture. If you decide to use a programming language in production, you might have to live with it for a long time.

> incredibly fast and safe by design.

Except it actually is incredibly slow, not fast. The only thing fast about it is the marketing, and that is mostly fast and loose.

I ran a ton of benchmarks for my performance book, and despite the fact that I didn't expect much, I was still surprised by just how badly it misses on the performance front.

As an example see how Kitura compares to other web frameworks in performance: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r16&hw=...

And Kitura actually implements the central HTTP parser in C. Porting that same code to Swift made it (that code, not Kitura) 10x slower.

As a second example, see JSON parsing. Putting Swift on top of NSJSONSerialization typically adds a 25x performance overhead. Yes, that's twenty-five. And NSJSONSerialization uses NSDictionary and friends to represent the parse result, which is already very, very slow. 25x on top of that is no mean feat.

Anyway, the good folk from Big Nerd Ranch decided the problem was the interop and decided to write a parser in pure Swift, called Freddy. It was a "success", as Freddy is only 8x slower than NSJSONSerialization.

Oh, and if you think Swift serialization fixes this: it doesn't. Still around an order of magnitude slower.

And I didn't even go into the role of the optimizer. Unoptimized code is much, much slower relatively speaking, sometimes 100x to 1000x (yes, that's a thousand) slower than optimized code. Note that the default debug mode in Xcode is unoptimized and that 1000x is the difference between 1 second and 20 minutes. And of course you don't get a diagnostic if an optimization is not applied.

The "Swift is fast" meme is pure Apple marketing at its most deceptive. It has never been true in the past and isn't true now.

As to safety: there is very little to no evidence that static typing actually increases safety, studies go either way and when there is a positive effect it is tiny. See also: http://blog.metaobject.com/2014/06/the-safyness-of-static-ty...

This compiles fine if you reduce the number of elements. But that's of course just one of the most egregious examples. Overall, compile times are horrendously slow, again we are talking order(s) of magnitude, and that is with the horrible C compilation model and its ridiculous header files as a baseline.

It might make sense to differentiate between prototyping and implementation languages. As a design first company, they don't prototype in code, they use code to implement prototypes. With Swift they're just serving their own methodology.

This also fits into their "we don't need to collect data" mindset, they seem to iterate on assumptions, not direct feedback from customers. They create many prototypes and then implement the most viable one, and and this point they know exactly what they need.

> let's just keep crapping on a company no longer under the same ownership

I have no intention of crapping on SourceForge. I am merely making an observation. I think many would agree that users have lost trust in Sourceforge regardless of the history or current state of ownership.

In fact, I used to appreciate loganabbott's (the new president of Sourceforge) attempt to amend SourceForge until today when I see the same person posting insinuating and insulting comments towards potential users.

I have no intention of crapping on SourceForge because SourceForge is largely irrelevant to me. I host my projects on GitHub these days. If GitHub becomes untenable for any reason, I might move to Gitea. But I am definitely not coming back to Sourceforge after seeing these juvenile comments coming off from the president of Sourceforge in this thread. Don't know about others but he has definitely managed to piss me off as a user.

Regarding why Sourceforge gets the kind of flak other companies don't, I have commented about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17281519 (again this is merely a conversation, not a passing of judgement).
"Don't move" is terrible public policy. For one thing, people change jobs. Two families that end up living and working on opposite sides of town should be able to swap houses to keep the commutes sane. When they can't, congestion gets worse, and energy and infrastructure demands grow. Or worse, people stay in suboptimal jobs due to the difficulty of moving, suppressing productivity. Empty nesters hoard the family-sized houses, making things impossible for young couples. Etc, etc.

>move when you can afford to pay the tax

Why could they afford to pay the tax? Their income hasn't changed.

>Why did the value of the neighbourhood increase

Usually this kind of meteoric rise in property value happens due to changes in demand, i.e. your city suddenly becomes a tech employment center, or the fashion suddenly shifts from suburban to urban.

>its because society aka the police keeping the area safe, the people who maintain all the infrastructure/roads etc,

Nope. Typically all those things were there when you bought in, so would not explain the delta between your previous and current home value. And if the quality of your local institutions got 2x better during your stay, it's likely you had a hand in building them.

>who is going to pay for all that?

Excuse me, what? No place in America has capital gains tax on primary residences; do you imagine that we don't have police or roads? We'll pay for it like we've always paid for it: a combination of property taxes, user fees, and state income taxes remitted to the municipalities.

“In 2004, after years of flat sales and falling profits, the Toys R Us board of directors put the company up for sale” [1]. Then, over “the next five years, sales at Amazon quadrupled to $34 billion”.

Toys ‘R’ Us was bought as meagre profits fell and right before Amazon went for them. Blaming this outcome on the debt load is inaccurate.

Zen does a decent job in clock-for-clock performance, huge killer on the desktop is raw clock speed. When you pit a Ryzen chip maxing out around 3.8-4.2GHz (depending on generation and silicon lottery) to an i7-8700K that has a base frequency of 4.7GHz it's pretty obvious which is going to come out on top.

Most of that clock hit comes from the 12nm LPP process that AMD is currently using too from what I can tell, low-power process typically equates to lower clocks (see mobile chips) so it's not surprising - and why Zen 2 being based on GloFo's 7nm process will hopefully close that gap.
