I suspect this is in nearly the order of how much each language is actually uses. (Everyone avoids objective-c like the plague including, it seems, apple's own devs, so no big surprise there.)

I’m starting my career as a software dev now and one of the things I’ve been wondering about recently is how to write good code? I think generally that I can recognize well written code from poorly written code, but I want to get even better and I’m not sure how. Engage brain before activating fingers

BTW, why doesn't markdown work anymore? (and yes, the checkbox is checked.)

code more and read more efficient code. Try to code less with more done. 
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the steps to write a good code or less code.
1) Don't use the more if statements, Instead of it try to use modern if else statements.
Modern if else
2) Don't put too many comments for the code, Put only the comment which is needed.
3) The code always be the understanble to other developer's also.

I'd take the existing code base from a former company and say "don't do ANY of that."

Even before the release of Swift 3, Apple is talking up Swift 4 features like ABI stability, string processing, concurrency, and new scripting capabilities. They're so swift, they're a full version ahead

Toward the end of last year, the people behind the Large Hadron Collider announced that they might have found signs of a new particle. "What's he like? It's not important. Particle man"
Not the Higgs Boson, this is another one

Towards the end of next year, the people behind the LHC announce that they have discovered a new particle. The DHP (Disappearing Hypothetical Partical)
It is:
both a particle and a wave
has both infinite and zero mass
spins in all directions, and if it stops spinning it will make your head spin
has simultaneous positive, neutral, and negative charge until you observe it (then it flips to the mood of the physicist doing the observation)
is the constituent substance of the Q Continuum, yet again showing how Star Trek predicts the future
Physicists are now trying to discover it's anti-particle version, the RHP.

I have a Higgs Futon in my guest bedroom, but the problem with it is that it isn't there when I'm looking at it.

Technically Incorrect: Brian Hall, general manager of the Surface brand at Microsoft, says Apple is doing its customers a great disservice by not innovating in computers. Pot, meet kettle

Coming from the company that sold products that either broke (ie - XBox dvd drives....) or became obsolescent (ie 300$ USB steering wheel no longer working on newer Windows versions)....
MS would do the same if their products lasted and weren't comparable to shoddy workmanship or planned obsolescence.

I think the problem is that Apple makes so little profit from it's Macs, that there is little enthusiasm in executive management to spend any significant R&D on them.
Mac laptops do have two things I really like: excellent touchpad and magnetic power connector. Perhaps they should just license those to everyone!

A group of researchers has found a way to hack directly into the tiny computer that controls your monitor without getting into your actual computer, and both see the pixels displayed on the monitor—effectively spying on you—and also manipulate the pixels to display different images. "There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture."

I wondered how that 'adult' screen-saver got there 
|

I have no doubt they could do interesting things with the chip on the monitor, but I'm skeptical of how they get to it. I have a feeling there's a big "Magic Happens" in the steps.

Microsoft only started rolling out Windows 10's Anniversary Update this week, but it's already discussing future updates for the operating system. Two more chances to ignore Windows 10 next year!

My prediction is:
Update 1: they will now force you to log into the microsoft account cloud. Personal user accounts will be forbidden.
Update 2: remaining personalization setting will be removed and you will be forced to do everything through the microsoft store. Users who do not run Candy Crush will be scrutinized to see why they are dissidents.

Plausible, really possible...
But if yes... then bye bye microsoft

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

IBM's response to RFI (request for information) on AI from the White House (the one in Washington, D.C.): [^].
A wonderland of bright shiny goodness stretching beyond the horizon perhaps even farther than the lines of the unemployed queued to apply for benefits ?

p.s. actually, a fairly interesting high-altitude view.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

FossHub serves up MBR-compromising versions of Audacity and Classic Shell | ZDNet[^]
I want to meet whoever did this with an AK-47 aimed right at their head.
Some people are ba*****s and need to be [REDACTED].
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

And therein lies the danger of every open-source repository, including NuGet.
Our IDE and build environments are setup to automatically download the latest updates. Sure, we get to choose whether to update, but how many devs actually check the code changes (not the changelog) carefully? It on;y takes a few devs to not bother, and a sneaky bastard to replace a common download, and you have infected apps everywhere.
The system needs to be safer and account for these possibilities.
cheers
