  1. Re: Swift 2.0 on Apple Releases First Preview of Swift 3.0 (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure but C++98 was 18 YEARS ago. Swift 2.2 was released 4 MONTHS AGO. What a joke.

    Actually C++ is a good example: C++ was released in 1985 and has multiple compilers available and that code still compiles in 2016. Swift 2.2 came out 3 MONTHS AGO. There is no advantage to a corporate controlled anything.

    C++ advances and still maintains backward compatibility. It does matter. If you learned C++ 10 years ago, that knowledge still applies today. Swift 2.2 was released in MARCH 16, 2016, and is already obsolete. Ridiculous.

    Really? So you are saying my PDP11 ML knowledge isn't obsolete? Thanks for the tip. It isn't trolling: it is a warning to avoid languages controlled by a single corporate entity. They can pull things from under you at their whim. Also, what a laugh: Swift 2.2 was released on MARCH 16, 2016!

    Too bad if you put time into learning Swift 2.0. That knowledge is now obsolete. And when Swift 4.0 comes out, your Swift 3.0 knowledge will be obsolete. My advice to young programmers: avoid languages owned by corporations. They have time and money to waste. You don't.

    You are right. People will never trust "BuggiCorp" again. And he can't change his handle, it is on his passport and his Mom would be upset too. Thanks for the tip.

    I totally trust the guy when he says he only will sell it to one customer. Why would he want to sell it to many customers? To get more money? Never!

    I know next to nothing about security, but I do know that mobile phones aren't secure no matter how your design them. Their entire purpose it to interconnect with other phones and networks. Once you enter an non-secure network you are not secure.

  10. Thank goodness. Now I am free to express my view that Emacs is the best editor and no one can attack me!

  13. Good idea, but you can do what I do: never ever use the Internet.

    If "anonymous" means "monitored specifically because you are using Tor" then I guess the summary is correct.

  15. You are holding it wrong.

  17. The sad part is the execs already thought of those things.

  18. Once the iPhone 7 comes out I am throwing my iPhone 6+ in the garbage! It will be obsolete. I can't be seen with an obsolete phone.

    You are right, except Amazons "showrooms" are the brick and mortar stores. People go to Best Buy to look at TVs or computers and then buy it from Amazon. Increasingly I am buying from aliexpress.com and have it shipped directly from China. Also I think some people just buy stuff from Amazon and try it out and if they don't like it they ship it back.

    Is that like a person being denied life by a murderer? I'm not saying that McAfee is a nutjob murderer who didn't get caught, but if he was it would be just like that.

  23. They aren't shady. My company does the same thing. There are valid reasons to do this. Essentially WAN acceleration and performance monitoring requires this in order to optimize the SSL trafffic.
