In early 2000s a mall in Hamburg did a similar thing, calling it a Männergarten, though theirs had arts and crafts: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Männergarten

A masters will be a faster, more expensive path. Without a CS degree of some sort you're going to need to prove you can code. Dabbling helps but you'll need to show work experience…

"P.S.: I'm unsure why anyone would think that this has anything to do with the Objective-C runtime. I guess it may if you pass any kind of ARC objects." Because the comment on the …

My guess is the former since there aren't any 32 bit Apple platforms anymore.

Exposing a c function from an objective-c file, and then calling into our swift code from there is what we've been doing since before this feature was enabled. That of course also …

With regards to being able to call a Swift function from C, stevetrewick pointed me to @_cdecl early last year[0][1][2]: @_cdecl("foobar") public func foobar() {} I haven't yet use…

it's certainly great news that studios can make money producing high quality content. But this isn't Netflix producing high quality content while the studios lose out. It's Netflix…

Old media is still producing the content. Netflix doesn't own lots, or cameras, or catering trucks. This is predominantly a change to financing and a change to what type of shows g…

What's interesting to me is that while Netflix is often the primary financier, the traditional studios are still the ones producing the content. If Netflix has found a worldwide ma…

It was happening well before the tech boom. Venice was the last stretch of cheap sand in 200 miles, it was going to gentrify with or without Google or snap or any particular indust…

Back in the '90s some government agency released a redacted report where someone had gone in and drawn black boxes in the PDF file, but the full text was of course still in the und…

There are slaughterhouses on multiple islands, and I can't find anything that states building a new one would be illegal. At least on Kauai you can often find local beef, pork, and…

Likely because buying the rights to broadcast sports is expensive, free-associating talking heads are cheap, and subscriber revenue is down. It's a vicious cycle. I'm sure they are…

Yeah, figured as much. Look forward to that.

Very impressive. This has some features we've been missing in bitbucket/gitlab/github and it looks like the UI is well thought out and still simple. The IDE-like source parsing is …

It's how it grows, and whether growth is the priority. Taking the HN comment community out of the context of the site makes it no different than any other drive-by commenting platf…

Can we not do this, please? One of the reasons that HN comment threads are still mostly worthwhile when other sites and comment services are swamp fires is the community that has b…

Sure but it's always "medium term": Taxes weren't fixed once, they are fixed at time of house purchase (and some other events). It would only be revenue neutral if they had raised …

One of the reasons that cities build office space while ignoring residential is Prop 13 which fixes residential property taxes. Taxes on equivalent office space and the business it…

Can't argue with anything in that list. I think it would also be useful to survey people who looked into using Rust but decided against using it, as responses from people who suffe…

Instead of the air resistance of a train-sized object (about a quarter mile long) you'd have air resistance equivalent to a train 300 miles long (think of the tunnel as an inside o…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Pneumatic_Transit Among other things it's more efficient to send electricity than to send air.

Barrels.

I'd add that Rails was also hugely influential in its focus on developer productivity. A lot of it was magic and incredibly difficult to debug or modify when it went wrong, but it …
