The early 1990's were good years for backhoe accidents in Silicon Valley. One fiber optic cable with 50,000+ lines got torn out on three separate occasions by the same backhoe operator at a construction site. After the third repair job, the utility stepped in and did the backhoe work themselves.
Never mind that interstellar space (or medium) consist of helium.
The interstellar medium is composed primarily by hydrogen followed by helium with trace amounts of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen comparatively to hydrogen.[
Why not? When I did a small, insignificant open source project in C, I tested my command-line code on Linux, Mac and Windows, and made it available that way. It's not like Apple lacks the resources to do a Windows version of Swift, as iTunes for Windows works very well on my Windows PC.
If you talk to some of the recruiters I've dealt with the over the years, the first thing they will say upon seeing two dozen programming languages on your resume: "You lack focus. Why should anyone hire you?"
Skylab was supposed to fall into the ocean southeast of South Africa. It didn't, overshot its re-entry point, and broke up over Australia. Skylab and Salyut 7 broke up over populated areas, and Mir ended up in the ocean.
Thatâ(TM)s going to get old really fast so you get a second Zero so one can stay in the device.
The good old days of floppy disks. Disk 1 contains the OS. Disk 2 contains the application. Disk 3 contains the user data. Switching disks get old really fast so you buy another floppy drive. If you have money to burn, get one of those 5.25" 20MB RLL drives.
Whenever something really bad happened on the ground, my late mother used to blame the space shuttle for flying in God's heaven as the cause. She also believed that the moon landing was a fake and celebrated the Skylab falling into the ocean.
I worked at one company that was so inspired by Dilbert that the employees posted Dilbert cartoons on a bulletin board in a central hallway. Management banned the Dilbert cartoons and took them down. When someone posted the Dilbert cartoon of the PHB banning the posting of cartoons, one supervisor ripped it off the wall and went around asking who put it up. No one claimed responsibility. Management then put up a video camera to watch the bulletin board.
I did I.T. support contractor for ten years. Not by choice. Most of my contract jobs lasted one day to one year. I work a job as long as possible before I scramble to find the next job. I'm always asked in interviews why I do contract work and not a "permanent" job. Recruiters look at my resume, see what I've done in the last three jobs and/or three years, assume that I want to continue that kind of work, and offer more contract jobs.
As a software test intern, I found a crash bug with a new patch on the test server. I showed my programmer boss three times on how to crash the test server, but he was unable to reproduce the crash bug himself. Since the crash bug was only on the test server, he approved the patch for the production server and it crashed immediately. Software engineers took a look, decided that a long-term fix was needed, and took the production server offline for three days. This cost the company $250,000 in lost revenues. I wasn't hired after completing my internship and 1/3 of the division got laid off to make up for the lost revenue. My boss, however, kept his job.
My nephew originated subprime mortgages during the run up to the Great Recession. He flipped houses on the side and paid more in taxes than his father made in an entire year ($50,000+). When the economy cratered, he narrowly avoided bankruptcy, became a forestry firefighter for several years, and is now a PR hack.
I once showed up at a biotech company for an I.T. support job wearing a suit and tie for the interview (recruiter insisted). I got stranded in a receptionist-less lobby for 90 minutes as the recruiter called every 15 minutes to ask where the hell I was. People kept smiling at me and badging through the doors, but not one stopped to talk me. Finally, someone did. With a suit and tie, I was better dressed than the hiring manager and CEO. The Ph.D.'s thought I was a venture capitalist being given a tour. I didn't get the job because the CEO said he couldn't afford me even though the job was at a fixed rate.
I'm not able to find the USB to 4-port RS-232 cable at any of my regular vendors. Amazon UK has for 28 pounds ($47 USD). Throw in a Raspberry Pi kit, it's more than what I'm paying for a motherboard and CPU. If I didn't have all the parts to build out the motherboard and CPU, this might be a cheaper option.
Motherboard and CPU will set me back by $50 to $75, depending on which AMD AM1 CPU I get. I got all the other parts to put this system together. As a general purpose computer running Linux, I can use it for other things than a terminal server. How well does your expensive "industry-standard device" run at compiling C programs?
You yourself have now replied thrice in this thread, and yet can not point at a single thing, Sanders would do differently from Chavez... Figures...
I very much doubt Bernie Sanders will re-write the U.S. Constitution to keep himself in power indefinitely. As his age, he'll probably keel over a month into office like President William Harrison.

Erm ... why should they?
Cross platform compatibility.

Ah, ha! Swift is insignificant for Windows. Now that makes sense.
Open source doesn't guarantee cross platform.

What does Jesus have to do with a multi-billion-dollar corporation unwilling to spare a few Windows devs for their open source project?
I keep 2 dozen languages on my resume.

so the internal Apple devs could focus on Apple priorities
Apple can't spare a few Windows devs to create a Windows version of Swift?
If you're Apple-centric, learn Swift. If you're Windows-centric, learn C#. Otherwise, learn Python for all platforms.
Swift is available for Apple and Linux. No Windows version?
