Which was not open source from the start?

Core libs and foundation for starters? https://www.swift.org/blog/future-of-foundation/

I don't get this reaction. Almost every language in the world: here's the spec, the tooling, and everything you need to use, master, and expand this language. Please use it. Apple:…

My issue with lack of moderation in social media is not the political polarization. My issue is the blatant scams pushed by bots, or by questionable companies paying sub celebrity …

That very in order guarantee is the issue. It can't know exactly where the connection died, which means that the client must inform the last time it received an update, and the ser…

My understanding is that long polling has these issues handled by assuming the connection will be regularly dropped. Clients using mobile phones tend to have their IPs rapidly chan…

It's surprisingly complex. Connections are dropped all the time, and then your code, on both client and server, need to account for retries (will the reconnection use a cached DNS …

Mercosur, Australia-New Zealand, and the Gulf Cooperation Council all have a similar agreement on movement of labour. It is not particularly rare.

My personal theory (which is also baseless speculation) is that we use intuition to consider the decision pipeline closed and the matter settled. We keep at it until it feels right…

> most notably that many of the properties attributed to System 1 and System 2 don’t actually line up with the evidence, that dual-process theories are largely unfalsifiable, and t…

The point of the links I've shared is that there is no such thing as System 1/2, and decision effort/cost is not a factor.

My understanding was that System 1/System 2 thinking is unproven conjecture[1] that can't even be replicated[2]. It would be unwise to analyse behaviour using this framework. 1: ht…

We tend to be pushed towards immigration because of a lack of safety, of growth opportunities, and no hope that things will get any better. With that in mind, if Latin America had …

Not parent, but I have a similar impression. Design patterns, clean code, and several of these well known tools were particularly useful during C++ and early Java eras, where footg…

A gambling addict thinks they can learn to play poker because there is a small elite of professional poker players. Which is exactly what an amateur trader thinks - I will learn to…

> Like with everything else, using your brain cells can quickly make you realize it's a lot more than "gambling" Which sounds similar to how gambling addicts report their thoughts …

Because it is a fantastic movie, with fascinating characters, a thrilling storyline, and full of interesting concepts. The popcorn and soda public loved it - it was the highest gro…

I think the issue is that bringing the application down might mean cutting short concurrent ongoing requests, especially requests that will result in data mutation of some sort. Ot…

It reminds me of the pre-symbolic mathematical notations where equations would be described in long paragraphs.

Taxi doors already automatically open and close in major Japanese metro areas. There is a certain romance around good service, but the good service is not the reason why people use…

The watch API has horrible user experience in all platforms. One must send a GET and keep the pipe open, waiting for a stream of responses. If the connection is lost, changes might…

Interesting point. I feel the same about the old SNES classic, Earthbound. It was a different perspective on America, making small towns and suburbia (a sometimes looked down upon …

Yes, because they are focused on the relevant parts for solving a specific problem. So one could say that the article's fundamental flaw is not explaining what is the purpose of th…

I understand that it could have been easier from the start by using a set. But at the time, it wasn't a requirement. Why would you use a set for a single entry? Furthermore, you di…
