How Well Do You Know the History of AngularJS?
This. I'm SUPER excited to have a Swift backend for a web app, and/or I've been toying around with the core logic of another app. Either idea doesn't need anything in the way of GUI, just the standard library and maybe a few things from Foundation that should be in the standard library anyway (like pseudorandom number generation).
Hey, look me up in a year and explain why you were wrong.

Go has been out for 6 years and has less than 10,000 questions on StackOverFlow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/go

Swift has 37,000 questions in its first year: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/swift

I'm a fan of Go. I built my websites in it and I've written a few small apps.

However, you really are overlooking how much of a difference the bigger Swift community will be.

All bets are off if Google officially supports Go on Android.

Anyway, 1,000,000 Swift developers will change everything.
Why do you assume the rate is constant and known rate. I would assume that there are peak and min times of the day when the website and datablees would be used, no?

You're setting up a straw man. Nobody is saying Apple invents these devices — instead, Apple typically reinvents them in ways that make them both more useful and more appealing to consumers.

What would you prefer to call it? If you'd prefer to use feminism as an abstraction you can break it down as follows:

Feminism is a women's movement for women by women. I am not a woman, so I cannot be a feminist, but I can be a feminist ally.

The same thread of logic follows for the other movements.

As we're talking about the movement of feminism, the "quality of alliance" can be clearly shown by the alignment of your attitudes with the movement's and your support for women you see facing issues related to patriarchal systems/biases. I fail to see how this is a torture of the English language. The same is done with international politics -- clearly we have ways that countries can be better allies to the U.S., if we're making the U.S. the center of focus. Whether or not we should do that is a different discussion.
Git generally doesn't delete commits until a garbage collection is done (and assuming no other references). If you find yourself in this situation again, then try:

git reflog show remotes/origin/develop

This will show the reflog for the branch, then you can find the hash just before your push, check it out, then force push it back.

I've recovered from other developer's accidental force pushes in less than 5 minutes, with no commits lost.

There is nothing wrong with being excited about the announcement, but that 1) that isn't what the headline indicated (it's since been changed, but at the time it was something very close to "Apple has open-sourced Swift!"), and 2) the comment I was replying to said Apple had "done it," which seemed to be responding to the inaccurate headline.

I think most people involved in software would realize that the distinction between plan and implementation is extremely important.

Apple has a precedent for open source technologies like this.

And let's be honest Swift is great and all but it's hardly the crown jewels of the company they are giving away.

The base principle is that society is made up of people and those people then choose the rules for that society. If you don't like that, you can often vote to change those rules, or you can choose another society.

Or you can use the rules for your own benefit.

If the rules of the aforementioned society make it possible to reduce your tax burden, it's not a moral issue if you choose to avail yourself of them.

If your tax burden can be X or Y depending on your choices and Y < X, it's not a moral shortcoming if you choose to pay Y instead of X.

Our society uses tax policy to shape behavior. We all know this. That's why student loan and mortgage interest are deductible. It's disingenuous for people to complain when they discover that tax policy is shaping behavior.

We see this from the middle-class family who donates old clothes to Goodwill or the Salvation Army instead of throwing them away all the way up through the billionaire who makes sure that he spends at least 182 days per year outside of New York.

That's why those grandmas lose money most of the time. One day a smart grandma will figure out how to game those machines too; it's an open-ended puzzle left to the world. They may build a better machine, and the world will again build a better grandma over time.

The world and economy is a system with rules and ethics, and entrepreneurs game that system within those rules and ethical bounds. Ping-pong wasn't first played with the intention of having back-spins and side-spins, but spin balls are perfectly within the written rules and are supposed to confuse and defeat your opponent.

If you want to have an edge at rock-paper-scissors, it's all about statistically analyzing and gaming your opponent, because humans are extremely bad at being uniformly random. There are tournaments for this. It's just humans being intelligent beings.

These students are gaming the lottery just the same.

Rules are rules; game and engineer the hell out of anything within those bounds, I say. Make the world an interesting place.
On Github, surely, where they are already hosting ResearchKit.
Every now an then we see this happening. One or other major companies plays a catch-up game. It's the matter who does it first and then who keep up with it. In early days for input device mouse introduction both Apple and Microsoft were trying to get their hands on the technology and were trying to make it to market before the rival.
Any mention of whether it works offline / on which devices? All I want in life is to play sports while listening to Spotify on my iPod shuffle.
"By the end of the year" perhaps suggests that Microsoft got out in front and Apple's hand has been forced into changing their roadmap. I suspect that Apple will struggle with to support cross platform development beyond tossing Swift over the transom. Supporting diverse execution environments is not their core competence historically.
Thank you Arca_vorago.

Yes I will look into this positively. I follow the lessons of Noam Chomsky and some from Dr. Cornel West. They seem to extol the benefits of local community organization, and the fact that despite how it may seem, many people are actually working on the same problems.
> Why do Android users update slowly?

Because a lot of phones are locked down by carriers that are slow to issue over-the-air updates. Even non-cellular tablets need manufacturers to issue updates before most users will apply them.

Another big reason is that you don't need to be on the latest core Android version to get a lot of the newer functionality. To get the latest iOS Mail app, you need to update your whole iOS. To get the latest Android Mail app, anyone with a reasonably modern Android version can download the latest app.

This paper is essentially a long, detailed answer to that question.
First of all, no, it isn't.

Secondly, this could be construed as being on the same continent as a spoiler, which, well, don't do that.

Ask HN: Does anyone know of a list building platform that connects to any API?
I simply want use a platform that I can connect to an API that has company information, so I can build lists quickly. Is there a software service that does this already? I'd rather not code it.
The Objective-C support on Linux is already great, the compiler handles it well. The problem is the Foundation library isn't ported so you're left using old, unsupported relics from the OpenSTEP project.
Yes, if you didn't fit the cultural mold, I have no doubt life would be very hard for you back then. Also I am by no means arguing that the past was in any way better to the present, just that it is quite possible to be happy without a lot of material wealth.

However, in regard to the probable happiness of the average 18th century family, I still think most research on happiness would disagree with you. People seem to have a default level of contentment that varies only temporarily when major positive or negative changes occur in their lives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill This suggests that being thankful they survived to see another day, while grim by our standards, actually was real happiness.

Exceptions to this, that is, things that make lasting changes to one's happiness include:

* A supportive community of peers with whom you meet regularly

* Regular physical exertion

* Regular time for quiet reflection

* Marriage

* True and devout belief in a religion.

Our average 18th century family had all of these.

On the other hand, modern society has a greater capacity for a person to self-actualize and get into a path where they are able to regularly enter a state of flow, which is also shown to increase happiness. But this is only an increase capability, not the norm.

Sadly, watching a post Steve Jobs WWDC is basically just watching Google I/O from 2-3 years prior.

For example the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 launched with splitscreen multi-tasking in October 2012. All of the Sammy stuff since then has had it.
He's not disputing that. Objective C has been able to run on Linux for years. Essentially, nobody actually uses Objective C on Linux even though they technically could. The same will probably be true for Swift.

I'd prefer the use of the compound noun "feminist ally" over the generic and ambiguous noun "ally".

Slight exaggeration for the sake of humor.
I always recommend people to use `git push --force-with-lease`. It's more to type, but it verifies if the remote branch is the same as the remote tracking branch, so you don't accidentally rewrite branches someone else has pushed to.

My guess is they're using Linux in their datacenters and want to be able to write programs for them in Swift. That, or they figured that's where all the "Open Source" action is going to be/an "Open Source" language without Linux support is useless.
I'm running Ubuntu on my Windows tablet (Acer Iconia W700) now, typing from it in fact. Interestingly enough, I had no driver issues (everything as far as I can tell worked perfectly with a fresh Ubuntu install), but I've had more software issues with touch support. I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be better with that, and while multitouch gestures seem to work with Unity, there are very few places where they are implemented.
Cool, might give it a try.
If this doesn't work you can consider a stand up comedy career :D
Not necessarily, but convincing your boss to be mindful of your medium-term career goals definitely is and at largish companies there should be opportunities for you to spend time working on something else. Career-wise, I'd be more concerned about working for someone that wants you to stagnate than about the specific software you're maintaining. (Not saying that that's necessarily the case, BTW.)
>I would kill to be able to go to the party Spotify will undoubtedly throw tonight.

Yeah, a new service that offers a larger selection for the same price, and will be preinstalled to the majority of their customers phones, and free for 3 months will sure be a great cause for celebration...

>The reason I loved my iPod is because I didn't have to listen to the radio.

And one reason iPod et al. got boring and people turned to places like Spotify is because it's not radio (that is, it's not a shared social experience). That's why stuff like Spotify playlists (curated music) got hundreds of thousands of subscribers. And DJs haven't died, they just took it outside radio, and into arenas, because modern radio has both annoying ads and marketing-oriented programming, something that this announcement is not meant to share.

If done right it could be big, and things can come and go in circles. Heck, there are millions of hipster kids out there buying vinyl, which wasn't even in fashion when they were born.
BSD 4.4 was released 1994 it has multitasking which the Darwin kernel in OS X and also ios are based upon. Talking about 1994, NT also has had preemptive multi tasking since 1993. Multics the father of UNIX had multi tasking in 1965.
Those are good points. The event in question is not a simple user visit, however. Let's say it's a particular user action that's a bit more involved, e.g. filling out a form. The assumption here is that users fill out this form independently from one another.

the question is about building an application that is easier to split into microservices later.

it all comes down to this - http://www.infoq.com/news/2015/01/microservices-sharing-code

If you have multiple components that are depending on the same code, if you try to split them into multiple services that are being independently deployed, you need to keep the code they are depending on in sync.

So making a change to the code shared by multiple services, means you have to deploy multiple services for a single change.

I completely agree with you about the protobuf/thrift angle though. If you're in that situation, you are already doing it right.
How can you tell that's a squatter and not Apple?
POSIX to POSIX is way easier to get production ready than porting to the Windows API.
I agree, especially about Netflix and Pandora's poor recommendations as a product of their limited catalog. I don't however think that humans are any better in this regard. Humans also tend to recommend near the center of a distribution of tastes, and when they stray from that, it's out of a deliberate move to find something new/different. Algorithms can do the same (and many do), but many of those suffer from other problems - such as poor interfaces or limited catalogs as mentioned.

Just because no one has done it really well yet, that doesn't mean we should all go back to human-curated playlists in my opinion.

Edit to add: Perhaps part of my reluctance to rely on DJ's and human-curated playlists is a lack of trust. When a person recommends something to the masses, my gut instinct is to question motives (who is being promoted and why). When an algorithm recommends something to me as part of an unlimited service, I tend to feel like it's been tailored to me for no reason other than to maximize my enjoyment (though admittedly, the truth is that algorithms may be built with just as much - if not more - questionable bias as any human).
Don't forget the the annoying red notification bubble when a new song has being added to a playlist. Which never needs a notification bubble.

That simple thing will make me switch instantly to Apple Music. The Spotify app was so much better a couple of years ago when just a few people worked on it.
If the shared "culture and myths" are so important, why don't people reward those that contribute to it?
Don’t be fooled by robots falling down at Darpa Robotics Challenge
Spotify is horrible. The UI suck, the interface sucks, there is no decent way of organizing my favorite music, discovery is meh (although the only thing that has actually been improving instead of getting worse). And killing the apps has completely reduced the usefulness to streaming all the music available, but only if you know exactly what you want or are satisfied with bland prefab playlists.

The only reason I listen to Spotify is because there is no decent alternative with a sufficient catalog. Like many, I've been dying for a better alternative.

I don't know if Apple Music will be it, but I do remember what the iPod and iTunes did to the MP3 player.
>But in this instance, Apple is expecting you to shell out $10/month.

Spotify asks for that too. And unlike Spotify, Apple already has your payment details. You don't even need to enter your password with this thumb thing.
There are quite a lot of local radio stations that broadcast online for anyone to listen. I picked my favorite local station (http://kslx.com/), found their website, and there's a "Listen Live" button right there.

It seems rather ignorant - willful or otherwise - to claim that this is something groundbreaking. I have no doubt it'll be well-executed, but at best it can be evolutionary, not revolutionary.
That's a rather surprising statement given the technical sophistication of Apple's products. In what way is Apple trying to play catch up with the others?

"Good"/useful submissions will (hopefully) get upvoted anyways, so there isn't really a need to downvote the "bad" ones. It could also be considered a deterrent for new users who are still learning what is "good" to submit, or it could be used for an automatic downvote bot or something.

Or Apple saw that and decide to change its mind.

Sometimes companies change their minds this way, like how Microsoft changed its mind on the banning of DVDs for Xbox, even though they never "officially" said they would do that before the announcement of the Xbox One, but it was strongly "rumored" they would do that. I'm sure that's what they intended, but the outrage was too big to let it be.
I'm fairly certain it will have the same license as LLVM given Swift's creator.
READING THE THREAD IS DEPRESSING AND ENCOURAGING BUT THE SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION SEEMS TO BE NO
Yes, I've done Java in the enterprise. It's a 20 year old language and there's an estimated 9 million Java developers.

Swift is only one1 but with open source and cross-platform ability (Microsoft will port to Windows), I think we have several million Swift developers with 5 years.

This is hilarious - I just started my internship at a company and a few of the people in the department are working on....you guessed it reporting systems!

Nice work, this is really cool!

But I'm kinda missing the point. I think it would be very helpful to put some corresponding C (or pseudo-C) code. I understand assembly, but it would take me forever to parse out what this program does.

Also, a few design issues (on Windows 8, Chrome):

- The bold font in the registers is difficult to read.

- The dark colors (blue and maroon) in the register names are difficult to read.

- The columns of the register table don't quite line up with their headers.
I am in the exact same position. Summarizing the responses, the short answer to your question is no, there is no escape.
I met Fred on numerous occasions before he died, his sons are members of the forum I run. Fred was a great storyteller, it was chance he was picked up by the BBC and over time he developed into a great TV orator of the British Victorian age.

So much of our society is built upon those now seemingly antiquated inventions - old Fred had a way of explaining it and making it interesting with his enthusiasm. Like some many who's history he documented he was taken too young.
Another open source language and people just pile the hate on.

Go is Google's language, Java is Oracle's, Rust is Mozilla's. Anything good for Go or Java is good for their respective companies, right?

What are you talking about? The employee's issue was that Zenefits is not buzzy enough and he wants to work at Google.
It would certainly be all sorts of ironic if (many) more Android apps were written in Swift than Go, all because Google doesn't want to replace Java with Go and make it the primary language, while Apple is doing that with Swift.
Why? Swift is a language and Qt is GUI framework
They said they would make facetime an open standard.
