    I work on Amazon Prime Photos iOS app. It's currently 60mb in size, and a good chunk of that is the Swift runtime. Even the main Amazon shopping app is less than 100mb.

    As someone who drinks Bulletproof coffee (ala Brain Octane oil), how does this fit in? Is the concentrated coconut oil in brain octane oil also just as bad? Or is the fact that its…

    I'm guessing they had a really low sample size, especially for some of the lower languages (objc/java). Most of the salary per langauge breakdowns i've seen rank mobile skills (and…

    I really like the idea of these 0 lines of code websites, but mostly for more static sites. As you can tell with this site, it's already suffering from lag in a bunch of places, wh…

    Ah, you should specify that you need to make an account. For some reason I was thinking this might somehow attempt to do SSO and grab your actual twitter data

    As far as I can tell, the login doesn't actually do anything...I think all this kid is claiming is that he made the login page I guess

    Did he re-write a swift compiler?? Or is there a way in swift to compile a string?

    How is this better than Google maps, which is also available on both platforms?

    I agree completely, the crashes are the #1 problem. In fact its almost unbelievable that such a buggy app could be passed through the app store process (I'm sure Facebook gets very…

    These are awesome. Would be cool to see more docs on the constraints themselves, if possible

    For anyone wondering why this is necessary, as some others in this thread have mentioned, the standard go way to deserialize json is to pass a pointer to a struct, and the system w…

    Martini is not a good reflection on Go's performance (no pun intended). If you want a Go benchmark of a minimalistic framework, use Gorilla mux or even Beego

    Is this open sourced? Or paid? I just signed up but still no word on whether this is paid or not.

    This is a proposal that's starting to get some serious traction. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y9hStonl9wpj-5VM-xWrSTuE... In theory, Go could absolutely be used for android …

    Unless they open source it, yes. Knowing apple, I feel that they would have an off the shelf solution that you could just push code to. Almost like a parse type solution, integrate…

    Personally I think Swift could really change things for apple if it could be used for server side scripting. An integration with core data, and you could easily share Models on the…

    My company makes this easy by putting a demo video out every 6 months or so. It's always a bit behind in the feature set but its better than nothing. I guess my point is try to loo…
