You can certainly guarantee you'll never have Alexa assistant inside the nest (like echobee for example)

I work on Amazon Prime Photos iOS app. It's currently 60mb in size, and a good chunk of that is the Swift runtime.

Even the main Amazon shopping app is less than 100mb.

ah, thanks

As someone who drinks Bulletproof coffee (ala Brain Octane oil), how does this fit in? Is the concentrated coconut oil in brain octane oil also just as bad? Or is the fact that its very concentrated mean it contains less of the negative qualities?

I feel like what this article is saying is that, just guzzling oil isn't good for you, which is obvious, but in small doses, is it ok?

I'm guessing they had a really low sample size, especially for some of the lower languages (objc/java). Most of the salary per langauge breakdowns i've seen rank mobile skills (android/iOS) nearly highest.

2 very green bananas

I really like the idea of these 0 lines of code websites, but mostly for more static sites. As you can tell with this site, it's already suffering from lag in a bunch of places, which might be hard to fix. Disclaimer: I have never used bubble.is, but similar products

Ah, you should specify that you need to make an account. For some reason I was thinking this might somehow attempt to do SSO and grab your actual twitter data

As far as I can tell, the login doesn't actually do anything...I think all this kid is claiming is that he made the login page I guess

Did he re-write a swift compiler?? Or is there a way in swift to compile a string?

Great thanks. You may want to include a diff of the gmaps features on the site, for clairity

How is this better than Google maps, which is also available on both platforms?

I agree completely, the crashes are the #1 problem. In fact its almost unbelievable that such a buggy app could be passed through the app store process (I'm sure Facebook gets very special treatment with app store reviews, though).

One big issue I've noticed is that the app is borderline unusable on older devices (iphone 4). This may explain the huge number of people who are reporting these issues, which certainly happen less on newer devices. I've noticed what looks like a small UI hickup on my 5s will crash the iphone 4.

These are awesome. Would be cool to see more docs on the constraints themselves, if possible

For anyone wondering why this is necessary, as some others in this thread have mentioned, the standard go way to deserialize json is to pass a pointer to a struct, and the system will "fill" it with the json. There is no easy way to sort of "parse" json piece by piece, which is what this library provides

Martini is not a good reflection on Go's performance (no pun intended). If you want a Go benchmark of a minimalistic framework, use Gorilla mux or even Beego

I'm assuming this is because Go was migrated to Github?

Yeah...a dash would do wonders for that

The biggest thing for me is excess decision making. I'm a programmer, and when my day require making 10 or 20 design decisions, things really start to slow down. (this can lead to some of the other things on this list, like feeling tired, feeling stuck, surfing the web, etc, as it leaves me drained).

I think at the end of the day, our brains have a limited power to make tough decisions, and it's wise to clearly define a programmers tasks so he/she doesn't have to make them.

Is this open sourced? Or paid? I just signed up but still no word on whether this is paid or not.

This is a proposal that's starting to get some serious traction.

In theory, Go could absolutely be used for android development

Unless they open source it, yes.

Knowing apple, I feel that they would have an off the shelf solution that you could just push code to. Almost like a parse type solution, integrated through Xcode.

Personally I think Swift could really change things for apple if it could be used for server side scripting. An integration with core data, and you could easily share Models on the client and server side.

It would make it a no brainer language to use for a mobile app, because you could kill two birds with one stone. To date however, apple has made no comment about cross platform development

My company makes this easy by putting a demo video out every 6 months or so. It's always a bit behind in the feature set but its better than nothing.

I guess my point is try to look for resources your company puts out before trying to create your own

> With Google Go, there was no real incentive to use it

I don't like the comparisons to Go in this article. I'm an iOS developer who has dabbled in Go, and I'd actually argue the opposite.

For me, there is little reason to immediately switch to Swift. I can still use ObjC, and in fact, I'd expect problems when switching to Swift.

Go, however, had many incentives to learn. Easier deployment, speed, concurrency, etc.

As usual, Wired has over simplified the argument

This article talks about gamification pretty specifically in the Enterprise sector. Gamification in the consumer sector is definitely still booming

I completely agree. I also agree with the author that companies should be doing more to tell the employees and managers WHY they are doing good/bad. However, I don't think thats gamification...that's basically Business Intelligence

Yeah, there's plenty of other alcoholic drinks this could be named after

Can anyone explain why this is? I've never heard a security reason for this.

To answer my own question, there is [this](http://osrc.dfm.io/) and [this](resume.github.com), but neither of those lets you pick and choose projects, which would be nice
