dude awesome! I love Perl. I use to do a lot of scripting in Perl for my old job. Good to know this information. Question, are you guys at Perl 6 or not yet?

Cool! any chance you can add music (song, composer, album, etc.)? I think that's like one of the most wonderful things about Studio Ghibli films.

Interesting... Can you elaborate on said old school languages?

eh is it? I thought it's end of Q2 tomorrow only. The $10 billion is probably the addition of Q1 and Q2 so far this fiscal year.

It's not even April yet...

I completely agree with you. Actually, you can take it a step further and actually write an article about how functional the MeeGo OS is in general.

I utilized the N9 for a few months a couple of years ago and just loved the OS. Of course there were bugs, but that's expected from an open source OS. However, the main reason I decided to move on was because of the app ecosystem.

Per wikipedia:

TempleOS (formerly J Operating System,[1] SparrowOS and LoseThos)[2] is a biblical themed lightweight operating system created over the span of a decade by the American programmer Terry A. Davis. The software is a x86-64 bit, multi-tasking, multi-cored, public domain, open source, ring-0-only, single address space, non-networked, PC operating system for recreational programming.[3] The operating system was designed to be the Third Temple according to Davis and uses an interface similar to a mixture of DOS and Turbo C. Davis describes the operating system as a modern x86-64 Commodore 64 with C in place of BASIC.

Is the actual failure with logging in and creating transactions or with the checkout or is everything down? This seems like it'll be a pretty big blow especially with lunch soon in the west coast.

At least good old hard cash still works.

I think you're referring to the concept of Javascript Fatigue (which I found was quite funny...). Check out this article: https://medium.com/@ericclemmons/javascript-fatigue-48d4011b...

Maybe it'll change your mind

Tolls or Holes?

yeah...dude is going to jail.

> Alphabet’s venture capital arm, GV -- formerly known as Google Ventures -- is an early backer of Uber.

Correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean Alphabet is suing itself since Alphabet owns both Google Venture, Waymo and has an investment in Uber...?

Kudos to you for asking this question. I was under the same impression that it was an official Google product but the repos didn't show any sign of this.

I enjoy the matrix theme falling letters (4th on the top-sorted list). Thanks!

Thanks for the link! I've actually never thought about this concept and it actually does describe a bit the way I feel about the giraffe.

The designer did a great job drawing it...but something just doesn't feel right...

Although the focus is mainly on the Stethoscope security feature and what it has to offer, but does anyone else find the giraffe with the stethoscope a bit odd, creepy and out of place?

I think they were going for a "friendly" approach but it just doesn't do it for me. Now, you may argue that the logo isn't important but some users will utilize a tool purely based on aesthetics...why a creepy giraffe? Am I missing something in American pop culture..? (I'm Canadian...)

In case you missed it (since there are a lot of quotes being thrown around in the article...), the new standard will be either:

"Use By: (date)", or "Best if Used By: (date)"

However, the article still claims there are no guarantees of adoption.

I agree for price, you can't really beat Distrokid but disruption can come in other forms. Other competitors may think of better features, more connections, or simply better marketing. I don't know.

Will this likely happen? Nah.

Distrokid has been out for a couple of years now and it's easy to see that it's pretty damn popular. Sure someone can get a team together and create the next Distrokid (I'm sure it's happening), but they'll be behind a couple of years. By that time, @Pud will have made his millions and onto the next...

It's in Apple's best interest to continue supporting both. Why? Let's just remove the POV of app developers and simply look inside Apple.

The article mentioned a very important point. Apple itself has not adopted Swift as fast as the developer community. This is because (I don't know this for a fact, but am quite sure), a large portion of hw/sw engineers know how to write C, C++, and Obj-C. They don't just know how to write it, I bet a lot of them are damn good at it and if not, top in the industry. Why convert? As many mentioned in the comments, it would be a huge overhaul and what about Apple's internal engineers? Would they put themselves out of a job?...Not likely.

Maybe in 20 years (if there still is an Apple...), there will mostly be Swift engineers. I just don't see them shooting themselves in the foot by removing obj-c in the near future (as in 5-10 yrs).

Nah man, you got a nice looking button there. I'd stick with it unless you get a warning from Apple. Keep up the good work!

It's smart of you to still use the App Store logo though. ;) I'll give you that.

Agreed. Title is misleading and is clearly clickbait. Please admin switch this.

I find that most people understand the general concepts of basic calculus. What's hard to wrap around is when you start getting into proofs (ie. delta-epsilon, trig, e,...and that's just some general ones).

I suppose that's how they differentiate the good students from the just okay students. Personally, I don't think youtube videos will help that much when it goes down to the nitty gritty. You really have to sit down, think, and understand.

What is the significance of June 21, 2006? Why was this date chosen specifically?

Was playing with your other projects too. Great stuff and super fun. Sharing.

thanks! I can see these type of hybrid teams becoming more and more common.

Can you share how big your team is and how many people were proficient in which languages? thanks!

I think job security was one of my decisions too. Another important decision was the fact that I wanted to be able to use React for both web and mobile apps. Mastering JS was a big bonus.

That being said, it's definitely a smart move to invest time in swift (I did play around with some swift libraries), as it does seem the industry "might" move towards some kind of hybrid obj-c and/or swift + React-native app. I've personally decided to invest more time in JS than Swift.

Yes, the React syntax and JS in general also wasn't as easy for me to catch on vs. obj-c (I wrote a lot of C in my previous job). As you write more, you'll get use to it.

As an iOS developer, I had to decide between investing more time in Swift or React-Native. I chose React-Native simply because I thought it will allow me to broaden my mobile development experience and maybe one day stretch to even the Android platform. Furthermore, it improved my javascript skills in general and allowed me to create React web apps as well. I think it is the right choice thus far. Anyone else have similar experiences?
