I believe the point is that the "main thread" for your iOS application, is not the main thread of the OS. They're totally decoupled.

> You are half-way through a change. Your old motivations have lost their appeal. I think I'm in the same boat as the OP, and this comment resonated with me. When I started program…

"Boudin was born in New York City to Jewish parents. His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members, both convicted of murder."[1] [1] https://en.wik…

I'm really confused as to what point you're trying to make with this comment. In order to secure religious freedoms, religious rights, and LGBTQ inclusion, we need to have a filthy…

Interesting but, I don't really think I understand what this is. Would you mind explaining it in lay terms?

> I just keep everything in memory in native data structures and flush to disk periodically; Can you expand on what you mean by this? I am interpreting that to mean that you are ac…

Oh, derp. My mistake... I read the OPs comment as the opposite for some reason.

You know what can easily induce a 10+ heart rate increase? The perception of danger, aka, FEAR. An entirely mental process.

xamber's point remains valid though - while code may move to the frontend, the notion of scaling isn't a function of the number of users (as the original op erroneously states). ma…

Gosh, you know... I think you've left a very novel innovation from China off your list. https://youtu.be/dnY2OtnTOcA

The scary thing is how much ones phone number (a somewhat ephemeral thing) is actually bound to your IDENTITY. Considering your phone number is more and more being used in 2FA ... …

edit: forgot i was done. damnit. From what I can find, 5G wasn't invented in China, nor was the concept of electromagnetic information transfer. Nor were transitors. Nor were micro…

Most of the things you've listed here use WESTERN TECH just re-applied for a Chinese market, and you're calling that innovation? The fact that you had to list "Chinese based text i…

This list includes no genuinely new innovations except for maybe 5G. You are listing that China is a major manufacturer, which is true. The OPs point was that China has a record of…

You've listed literally 4 things. You can't really believe that compares to the innovations to come out of Silicon Valley, right?

This is true in most languages really. It starts with people just wanting to speed up their development by turning common tasks into some macro, or annotation, or even library. But…

A very good point indeed.

I just find it amusing that the very source of the problem (humans) are themselves positing that they are also part of the solution. Why kid ourselves? 8+ billion humans are going …

> have as many kids as you can support How ironic considering that the very source of earths problems are because of humans. Somehow, the solution is more. Never a better response …

I've clearly been doing this quarantine / pandemic wrong.

You have got to be kidding. SF, and California generally, has had systemic problems that have virtually nothing to do with the recent tech boom.

Come on dude. People aren't talking about the "weird" or quirky aspects of SF. We're talking about fucking needles, and human feces in the street. Stop protecting this shit by labe…

> And ironically, restrictions here are less than in many hard hit areas What did Atlantic Canada do then?

Wow. I would love to hear more about this. A lot of people on here suffer from burnout in some form or another, and I would imagine very view actually cut the cord. Do you have a w…

Alright, so now I'm left wondering: What about big agriculture? There's a popular YouTube channel [1] with advocates for a plant based diet, low in fat, yet suspiciously says almos…
