I sincerely do not think "They pulled it off" versus "It looks like they will do this sometime in the next six months" is nitpicking somebody's choice of words. The difference between the two is not a minor nuance, it's a large practical difference, and I don't think people would necessarily understand the latter meaning from the former.

When I first saw this thread, I certainly thought Apple had actually open-sourced Swift, as both the headline and the comment I was replying to said so. Then I looked at the linked page and saw it had not happened, so I corrected this materially important piece of information.
Did you mean Vulkan where you said "Mantle's second-place position on Windows?" As far as I can tell, Mantle is pretty much DOA -- Nvidia and Intel aren't going to support it on any platform, and Nvidia has 52% of the PC market according to the latest Steam user survey[1], and Nvida/Intel combine for roughly 80%. Even AMD is deprecating Mantle in favor of DX 12/"GLnext"[2].

Don't be terrified. I suspect that once your professor had nothin left to prove, other things started to become more important - ground breaking happens when you walk where no one else has, even if that's not leading anywhere but home.

No. The closest thing is Cocoapods, which is great. But as the name implies, it's meant for Cocoa compatible libraries.

> I would say that your description of "friends" is fine, but your description of "allies" misses elements of the usual definition; while alliances may be tactical, they involve more than just sharing a common goal at arms lengths, they involve the decision to work together to achieve the common goal. You seem, in this description, to reduce allies to mere "people who share a goal, perhaps at arm's length".

If someone is going to go through the trouble to cooperate with someone enough to care what happens to them, then why wouldn't they try to be their friend instead of just an ally?

> If that's all the commonality you have with someone, you aren't an ally at all, and there message directed at those who would be their allies about how to be a better ally isn't directed at you.

Fair enough. I don't want to wear that label anyway.

"When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books ... people reported feeling less sleepy at night and less alert the following morning ... empirically, they also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights and spent less time in the REM phase of sleep. And the blood tests showed that on average, the brain's melatonin secretion on those nights was delayed by an hour and a half."

Although the second part of that is pretty important if you are a real software developer, even if you sell outside the app store.
Indeed and the last part "And you realize this is what happens when you keep coming to work years after you’ve mentally retired. This terrifies me." A worrying and yet some how sobering thought once you realise, we all get older, less agile physically and mentally in different ways.

I graduated high school last year in new york city. While it varies from high school to high school, I can assure you, the majority of high school kids in nyc do not have data plans, including me. That's not to say we can't afford it. My parents and my brother spent 95% of their time in areas with wifi, so they don't really need data. That just left me alone data-less.
I long dreamed of using Objective C to build server apps. The compiler support has been there for years (GCC, later Clang), but there's no standard library. All the stuff you would want from Foundation is missing; strings, sockets, file I/O, encoding support, threads, etc., it turns out you'd have to reimplement a lot from scratch. There's GNUstep, but last I looked it, it was stagnant, and also very much geared towards GUI apps.

Swift on the backend would be even better, I think. Between all the languages that have evolved lately (including Go and Rust), Swift has struck me as the one that feels the most like my ideal language.

Unfortunately I don't think that the level of differentiation provided in current browser implementations to EV certificates has users noticing when they get one.

I'd consider myself relatively security-savvy and I honestly couldn't tell you which of the sites I visit uses EV certs, and I'm fairly sure I wouldn't notice the browser bar change from green if a site got MITM'd with a valid DV cert after having an EV cert.

Pinning obviously helps in that case but AFAIK that works just as well for DV certs as EV.
I'm not sure how one writes an upbeat article about cleaning out an office. :) A career is (or at least should be) much more than artifacts left behind.
HN is turning into reddit. I've seen this exact picture on reddit and /g/. If you want to post stuff like this, please take it there and leave us some interesting articles, a neat personal project, or recent tech news. Just not a fork bomb with a single, quasi-motivational set of sentences below it.

It's a good message, but this format really isn't something applicable to HN.
That's interesting feedback, thanks. I have found that most of the time people are happy to talk about their work, but I have also encountered the flustered reaction you describe.
I didn't mean "why is it worth writing about?", though I see how my comment could come across this way. I meant rather that the introductory sentence:

> "General Orders for Sentries" is one of the finest written processes of all-time.

seems to indicate an almost uniquely special document, whereas what I saw was a well and carefully written document that nonetheless seems not to be unique (though I have no examples to prove my contention).
You can extend that template ("... and make it not suck") back to the original Macintosh, arguably even to the Apple I/II. In the case of the Watch they do seem to be pushing the pace, jumping in before the hardware allows them to combine obvious usefulness and that perception of a no-compromises experience. (To an extent that happened with the Macintosh, and they paid the price for it.) Part of the issue for Apple is that they're running out of gadgets to apply the template to: it seems the only things left are TV and radio, VR/AR and maybe one or two other non-watch wearable devices. Then all that's left are things like DSLR cameras or automobiles: things that tend to have nasty UIs but haven't reached the point where hardware specs are largely secondary to UI.

In other words, with less strict languages you can be sloppier. Once projects get to a certain size, language strictness is a huge benefit.

And, in some extent, it's actually freeing. I can reach in and change something big in a strict/compiled language and the compiler/IDE will tell me where I have to make other changes throughout the whole project. In a dynamic language, I either have to rely on unit testing, grep, or just having it break at runtime. But the real truth is, you just don't make those kind of changes when your language isn't strict. The pain isn't worth the payoff.
You can still run them you just have to go through system preferences to enable them.
Ask HN: The knowledge of everything ,is it possible?
While i know that most people here will agree with me that the knowledge of everything is impossible , lately i have seen this quote from Davenci on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/96833-the-knowledge-of-all-things-is-possible , stating the knowledge of everything is possible , and he demonstrated this in his life by having multiple talents and skills , HOW ? How he could achieve that ?
My issue isn't with the point that the base rate matters, it's with the mathematricality.

And I do think that is fair, if there is not a simple way of actually measuring the utility and such (re your complaint about $diseases, medicine has at least somewhat reliable tests), all the stuff about the modeling is just theatrics.
I'm sure HN will find a talking point to replace that one :)
I think it's better to review a life or career as a whole rather than parse it and assign some sentimentality to the different aspects. In other words, so he or she may have 'mentally retired' but don't count that against anyone. It's not like were supposed to live full bore till you keel over. Maybe they called it in. Never the less they did accomplish something -more than many. That's not something to feel sorry about.

These are, after all, just people. People the same as the homeless or the newborn. Queer as folk, as they say. We're just folk. A bit strange but folk none the less.
> Apple has a precedent for open source technologies like this.

They also have a precedent for being less than friendly towards FOSS[0][1][2][3], despite the way they try to present themselves otherwise by listing their open source contributions prominently.

Note that the author of these comments, saurik, is Jay Freeman, the creator of Cydia. Key quotes include:

> Apple has simply never been in compliance with the LGPL [for WebCore].

> As for Oracle, I think Apple is much more harmful [to open source]

> I have gotten so used to Apple giving open source the finger, and thereby have backup plans involving disassembles for most of the things I care about at this point, I had forgotten to even follow up on them failing to release anything

IDEs aren't bad, but...

Automatic code generation is bad (unless its completely automatic in "you don't ever see it"), because code always have to change, and changes aren't automatic.

Heavyweight building setup is bad, because you can not replicate or automate it.

Long names everywhere hinder legibility. (Although long names on confusing or ambiguous places are a good thing.)

And, finally, people learning to program should learn how to program without one at some point, so they know what they are doing.

None of that makes IDEs bad. It just neuter their biggest selling points, but there are lots of small gains you can get from one.
I think they have two primary reasons for open sourcing it:

1. Being able to upstream more into LLVM means less maintenance of their internal forks.

2. The recent open sourcing of Microsoft .NET core parts.

I once volunteered for the Suicide Prevention Service of Santa Cruz Count, in California.

I never lost anybody.

All I ever required to convince someone to disarm the implement of their own destruction, get a good night's sleep then consult a mental health professional the very next day was an hour or so of "Active Listening".

I quickly came to the conclusion that most suicidal people get that way because they feel no one ever listens to them.

Active listening is very helpful in many other situations, for example when someone is violently angry active listening can lead them to be happy and friendly.
Being in a church includes you in a fantastic community. If anyone is sick, my childhood church would cook meals and bring them over. If you needed a job, someone could find you an opening (that's how I got my first job). Everyone carpooled to church events, had house parties, and because it was a Lutheran church (WELS), drank quite a bit too.

I've never believed in god, but since my dad was President of the congregation I sort of went along for the ride. I still play piano for the church (and thank the church for starting the spark for it), even though I don't really believe in all that. It's just a nice and caring community. When I'm older, I'm absolutely going to try joining some sort of church.
My point is the same. Neither circumstance is more moral than the other. They are both inherently amoral.

Of course, taxation is legal. Using the tax code to minimize one's tax liability is legal and also amoral.
Robotic assistive devices for independent living
I'm assuming he's not talking about the GUI libraries, which would make it considerably less interesting. As far as I know C/C++ is still the only (free) way to write cross-platform mobile apps. If I can compile my apps on iOS and have them run on Android, then I am definitely interested.
I think think they will do anything to prevent that. I mean, it's made for the web, so it's technically made for every device from every provider.
As far as i understand. It uses a javascript runtime on its own thread to parse "instructions" to native components dynamically. To answer your questions. yes, yes, yesno.

Reacts philosophy is to learn once write everywhere. If you know reactjs then it is just as easy to write react native as it is exactly the same (clear and concise) but with different api's available. The instructions are written in javascript the rendering can be done in dom, obejective-c, java.. etc.etc.

Would it be intellectually honest to place a 30% snark if you don't know the language?
>The whole point of walled garden is locking people in.

No, the whole point for me is keeping the weeds out and have a comprehensive experience where stuff works together well.

It's 2015, there's nothing much to keep me locked in in any "walled garden".

I can use another client for my IMAP emails (or export and re-import them in 20 ways), I can move my photos out of Photos app, I use Chrome to begin with but I could very easily export Safari bookmarks too, my iTunes music files are not locked, so I can play them on Linux/Windows, etc.

What the apps? Those were always non portable between platforms, walled garden or not. And in the last 10 years, a lot of those are run on the web in the first place, or offered for free/near free anyway with the OS, or are subscriptions (e.g. the Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office 365, etc.), so I can move those about freely between OS X and say Windows.
OK that's definitely a spoiler. (NB: I have not seen this season.)

> Being in a church includes you in a fantastic community.

That rather strongly depends on the church (and you; communities aren't objectively fantastic, the same community can be fantastic for one person and a nightmare for another; this is definitely as true of church communities as communities in general.)
I did a similar "switch" where I kept my macbook/retina display laptop hardware but switched to Windows 8 for the OS.

It's been a good experience except for one thing: Apple delivers no drivers for the integrated video, disables it in EFI from Bootcamp, so it runs hot and has a short battery life when not in OS X. I haven't seen anyone reporting success working around this problem, and it's been going on for years for us "switchers" to Windows.
Cool, thanks! Much appreciated! :)
Wow, teaching a robot morals by letting it watch tv seems like the silliest idea. TV would be such a bad source of good moral behaviour, otherwise it wouldn't be good tv.
It would appear that people take away what they want from an experience.. Defined as the subjective experience.

There are many other views ..

> I may take over this guy's office and leave behind the same stuff he did, albeit newer versions, and never accomplish a fourth of what he did

> Even though he was passionate about what he did, he still had important things outside of it like a beautiful family

> People go through things in life. Yet, they carry on.

> Form and function... Function being the same, what is really changing?

> I will never truly know a person's story until I take the time to hear it from them.. Otherwise, I'm likely making up my own story that confirms with my own beliefs.

The author of the article has fears most of all and he molded what was left in the office to conform to those fears.

If it takes you 50 years to create what one man did in 5, who are you to comment on 'coming' to work for the remaining 45? All things being considered, in the aforementioned example, at least his work had 45 years to be shared and built upon. What of a person who takes 50?

My point was that Spotify people are probably a lot less nervous today than they were yesterday. Apple could have completely crushed the company in one fell swoop. Now it looks like they only maybe did that.

Personally, that is a total game changer for me. I have an app idea, to build a custom house management app for my wife and I. I really don't care to put it on the app store and I don't want to pay $99 for a two person app. Now I can make an app that only my wife and I will use.
Does that go for new root certificates as well?
There's a "Capacity scales with your users" section that says you have to have 10M active users for that.
Thanks for writing that up; really interesting stuff. I agree with many of the critiques you make. I suspect that it may be easier to get the sort of standard process you describe implemented in a relatively small organization that has a relatively consistent set of products and commensurate challenges than in a large, diverse organization like Microsoft, where I learned to interview. The Microsoft interviewer has the challenge of finding candidates that are good both for the specific team they're interviewing for, and also have the general skills necessary to work with other teams in the future. As you say, it's a hard problem.
Yep, you're probably right. I mean, dragging the slider from left to right clearly increases the TB-number to 1000 (where it stops) and 1000 TB = 1 PB
Isn't "pay once for lifetime service" by definition a Ponzi scheme?
Objective-C never caught on outside of the Apple/NeXT ecosystem because its biggest advantages were in the application frameworks, not the language itself. By the time iOS made Objective-C popular there were entrenched alternatives in the C++, Java, and .NET ecosystems. Swift is facing the same challenges, but against a newer generation of competitors that are much less established. It's probably still an uphill battle for Swift to gain outside adoption, but it's not climbing a cliff.
Some strive to understand it and share their understanding of the world with others. It is often a lonely path and those who take on this challenge should be celebrated whether or not great contributions stem from it. After-all, many great technologies you enjoy and use to 'enjoy your experience'derive from it. If everyone partied and enjoyed their experience, it is questionable whether we'd still be around as a human race. And lastly, some people enjoy their pursuits.
