-_- Donald Trump called Mexicans rapists. The KKK endorses him, the American Nazi Party is stoked on him. Steven Bannon is going to be his "Strategist".

He's on tape talking about molesting women. Many women have come forward and accused him of trying to or having molested them.

Have you ever talked to his supporters about race?

Argument in the post was pretty weak.

My point was the election was very close. Personally I didn't find it surprising Trump won. I know a lot of older people that were all in. It was shocking to see the change in rhetoric this year. Instead of debating traditional topics of economics etc, I dealt with a bombardment of videos/memes/etc that were either obviously fake or obviously strawman arguments. I know some conservative kids my age, most of them wanted nothing to do with Donald Trump. The ones that did, started calling themselves "nationalist" and talking as if they were apart of some great "race war". It was insane.

It saddens me to see the older generation sell my future because their fear of brown people and their inability to determine whats BS spam links.

Lol people keep talking as if Trump has some landslide victory and massive voter turn out.

So far he's accumulated less votes than Mitt Romney in 2012.

I don't think time has anything to do with the competition, it just made a catchier title.

Yup thats typically this guys MO. Him and Grubber make it pretty lame to be a modern Apple fan. They whine about Apple not doing what they want, they whine about people critiquing Apple, and then they make up or spread nonsense about Apples competitors. They are the "Macs can't game" Windows fan boys of the 90s.

I would be surprised if he's ever really given Ubuntu or Fedora a serious chance. I think he thinks Google's Android and Kindle Fire have the same UI. I listened to him once bitch about Windows and it was so obvious he hadn't installed it properly.

Yes, what does that have to do with Android becoming a "proprietary operating system". Web services are integral in a modern smart phone. Google adds their own to Android. Others do as well, for example MicroG, Amazon, MIUI, etc.

I develop for both iOS and Android. Its night and day difference between the two developer tools. XCode is absolute garbage and get worse year after year. Android Studio is excellent and keeps getting better. Things which were traditionally not great with Android dev are being fixed. Like faster ADB, good emulators, faster built times, Kotlin. I could go into more details, but I would rather be a full time Android developer than a full time iOS developer. The things iOS development really has going for it is, iOS users are more willing to spend money and the there are very few unique devices. Most apps even start out just targeting a single screen size, the iPhone 6. You can't do that if you are targeting the desktop or Android.

Its comments like "it’s also on the way to become a proprietary operating system" which turn me off supporting something like MicroG. I like the idea, but it such a gross mischaracterization of Android and it leads to uninformed people to believe weird things. Over on Reddit I often see people thinking Play Services is absolutely required to make an Android app. Which is just not true, I know from personally experience that Play Services is easily replaceable with other App Store SDKs. Also as you have said, Play Services deals solely with communication with Google.

It also reminds me of when Cyanogen became a business. It was sorta interesting at first until I listened to the CEO talking about putting a bullet in Google's head. Now Cyanogen tries to sell app space on its users devices.

Kickstands are the worst. They just don't work that well and they take up so much extra space.

Gotta say its pretty awesome! I can do a whole fully functional web app in about a 80kbs JS library(including embedded HTML for fast loading of different views).

The sweet thing about Dart is you don't need libraries like Angular or JQuery. I just use the built in Dart HTML methods and they compile down to vanilla JS.

I consider XCode's IB to be an abomination, I use SnapKit and I love it.

Its inherent in the understanding of what "differential privacy" is. But please listen to her explain it herself, http://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/crowdsourcing-data-whi...

Basically, its either your statics approach meaninglessness and maintain the individuals privacy or "overly accurate estimates of too many statistics is blatantly non-private"

But the same MS researcher that developed "differential privacy" has said and explained how its not really effective except for in short terms studies. I'm surprised a publication coming from MIT would not bring that up. It seems like its just "clever" marketing on Apples part. Also Chrome already employees "differential privacy" for w/e thats worth.

Then this isn't really about V8 anymore and the web and as far as that's concerned MS is already extremely dominant.

Yes they also have that, however Google.com is a search engine for the web. If users stop using the web, they stop using their search engine.

I think all 6 of those examples are good decisions on Google's part. Google has a heavy stake in making sure the web runs great. Chrome holds a large share of the browser market, but it doesn't control a controlling share.

I'm all for MS releasing a competing open source JS engine. Personally I have been burned so many times by MS in the past when they had "substantial influence" I have no interest in using it.

Thats such a cool idea! OMFG

You would like to write an entire server without using a GC?

Web Storm owns :)

from my exp on Mac. Intellij is the fastest IDE. Sure beats the shit out of Xcode.

What? Are you referring to how you can compiling and run apps if you have a developers account?

The fire tablets are very successful. There are a few successful forks in China. There are tons of fan built versions. Thats not a stretch.

Google restrict OEMs from forking, is certainly shitty. But its also a smart business tactic and I hope Google gets more restrictive around letting OEMs use their flavor of Android. Since it leads to a more cohesive experience surrounding Android.

Yea exactly its one of the reasons why I love Android so much.

Also the argument that Android isn't actually OSS argument is dumb. If it was closed source how have other companies forked it and successfully released their own variants? It doesn't make sense.

huh I think the poster was referring to just using the platform. Its one of the major reasons I use Android over iOS. You have a huge amount of freedom. There are several key apps I use constantly throughout the day that could not exist on iOS. This is also coming from a Mac fan that grew up using and loving Apple computers.

Also thats not true. Most important parts of Android are open source, for whatever thats worth. Its the parts that communicate with Googles cloud that are closed as well as Google's branded suite of apps.

I'm a bit confused, how is this any different then the next iteration on the Atom line? Is it a significant improvement?

Lord please no prays

Yea, I agree that the IntelliJ IDEA and VS (not code) are the two best IDEs out there.

The three major factors I would rank the IDEA over VS.

1. Extensibility, its more likely to support X language

2. Crossplatform, it actually runs on my platform

3. Its UI doesn't change drastically every few years. This is such an underrated thing IMO. Neither VS or IDEA are pretty IDEs, they both are actually butt ugly. They don't need to be. But VS goes thru so many visual changes and reorganizations, its the same reason why I don't use Office. I'm not sure many ppl view this as a bad thing however. I often find MS fans loving to brag about how "modern" their software always looks, even if it still looks just as shitty as the old one lol.

McAfee is a confirmed idiot man. He's just rich, so people admire him for some dumb reason.

Heres from a quick Google

You can see like most Swift benchmarks, its compiling with the -Ounchecked flag and using C.

-edit- I have no doubts of LLVM's capabilities. It just seems like Swift is probably already taking advantage of its optimizations.

Its not about performance, its about keeping the language simple. As someone who writes in Go, I really find this an attractive feature. I learned it in a few days, which is pretty fantastic IMO. Although I'm not sold on the Go shouldn't have generics argument, it does seem like Go has more pressing issues than implementing generics tho. Like bring the compile time back down to near instant instead of 300ms. lol

Also Swift's compiled code does not get near the same performance as Go's compiled code. Even when you unsafely compile Swift's code, it doesn't get near. When you start embedding C function calls into Swift and turning off Swift's safety features then it has been shown to get near Go.
