To solve what exactly? Sure you will punish Sony but that won't bring optical media back. We need to accept and move on with the times.

We used Greptile where I work and it was so bad we decided to switch to Claude. And even Claude isn’t nearly as good at reviewing as an experienced programmer with domain knowledge.

Nice concept but the design could use some love as it looks a bit on the vibe coding slop side of things.

That take was such bad taste. I get where he's coming from, and I don't like it one bit.

I appreciate the prompt engineering effort, but it's a lot of claims and not much substance. Also, I wouldn't call Japanese used in anime "real Japanese", especially from anime like Attack on Titan. And how do you get around the copyright issue? Does this fall under fair use?

No worries. Will do.

Neat idea but I keep getting an error when I try to login to mastodon

New comment by kaishin in "Swift – A great language strangled by governance?"

I like how the conclusion of the article paints a very positive picture for the language. It’s as if the entire negative tone of the article was a poor attempt to sound insightful for clicks.

This article is full of statements that are not backed up by any material proof. The author claims that Swift features no longer compose without giving a single example. I write Swift SDKs for a living and I have never thought that any of the recent features felt incompatible, incongruous, or redundant. Sure, each has its strengths and weaknesses, but that results in an expressive language where every problem has several solutions with different tradeoffs.

When it comes to governance, it’s not without wrinkles, but it’s not as bad as the author makes it sound. If anything, things got a bit less “dictatorial” since Chris left. Different core team members pull in slightly different directions which made the language more balanced in my view.

I doubt hosting on Gitea or Gitlab would have helped in this case since Nintendo reached an agreement with the lead developer.

Any plans to support mobile? That’s where I’d consider using this most.

One reason they are charging is to weed out bad actors or people not serious enough about publishing apps on their stores. That said they could do this as a one off like Google, and make it cheaper too.

This going to be a naive question due to my lack of familiarity with WebAssembly, but what does it it being to the table that wasn’t possible to do with any other standalone program packaged as a binary?

As an iOS developer I’ve learned to never put 3rd party secrets in the app. I typically go with a proxy backend server and attach a request-unique nonce that’s created using an obfuscated secret key stored as an array of integers on the client.

Are Web apps competing with Android apps where users can use Blink-based browsers? I’m not so sure about that… I’d like to see some data points that’d prove otherwise though.

I’m quite confused by the paragraph arguing that advertisers don’t want to violate my privacy. So if I’m a parent and rather keep that private from everyone, how’s showing me diaper ads by obtaining that information from somewhere I didn’t suspect not a violation of my privacy?

Swift has unfortunately no choice but to solve this problem if it is to be used to build native software for Apple platforms.
