Pretty interesting. Number 49 (Tandy), brings back some nostalgia. Tandy was the first computer I had growing up and the first machine I learn to program on.
I do agree that the process of selecting a card on the device is a bit more tedious than just pulling one of my 3 cards out. But the idea of having less bulk in my wallet - or - not caring one at all is pretty exciting.
Interesting idea. I often find eating sort of a task that is required rather than enjoyed. With that said, my wife has helped me really enjoy the process of sitting down with others and enjoying their company whilst eating. In addition, I've been learning how to cook as well and it's helped me really enjoy the entire process of sitting down and having a meal.
Congrats! I often question my incline of drinking between 1 and 2 glasses of beer, wine or whisky a night. At this point I've become so used to it that I feel like it's part of my normal routine, which is a bit scary.
This language really interests me, but I would like to know some real world applications that are being used for it. While I may enjoy writing it as a hobby, could this be something that I utilized in production as well?
This is ridiculous. The competition is great for us as consumers. To be honest, when I first moved to the city I used Uber exclusively. The sort of "executive" brand really appealed to me. As of late, with the news of Uber's shady tactics, I've been using Lyft more and more. Lyft Line, which was released prior to Uber's attempt at the same feature, has been a lot of fun and a really great way to meet random people in SF.
Pretty bold headline, fortunately the story was decent. With that said, as someone who develops JavaScript for a living Swift is very inviting. I've tried and failed many times to wrap my head around ObjC, but it never stuck. In messing with Swift the last couple of weeks, I find myself pretty comfortable and happy the barrier-to-entry is rather low.
It's not surprising to me that Python has become the most popular intro language at universities. For someone who went a school with a poor computer science program, Python was a saving grace and landed me my first job as a developer. Unfortunately the school I went to did not have any courses on Python so I took it up in my free time.
One of my biggest pain points with Atom was the speed. More specifically, the selecting of multiple lines greatly killed performance and made me switch back to Sublime. Glad to here they are making efforts to speed the editor up, I'll give it another go!
Very cool. I'm just getting into Haskell. Coming from the JS world, it's nice to be able to start to learn similar things that I do as a JS developer. My mind only thinks in the way of the web currently, so this helps my transition. :)
This is a great help for someone like myself who is just learning Swift. Pretty excited for some of the JavaScript style libraries being ported over to Swift.
