Interesting analysis of Facebook's iOS app here: [quellish - How on Earth the Facebook iOS Application is so large](http://quellish.tumblr.com/post/126712999812/how-on-earth-the-facebook-ios-application-is-so). He wonder's why it's so large and found that it uses 18,000 classes. Facebook gave a presentation (since deleted from slideshare), apparently they used 429 coders to write the App and complained that "iOS can’t handle our scale". This started a lively conversation on reddit: [Facebook Engineer: iOS Can't Handle Our Scale : programming](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3m5n2n/facebook\_engineer\_ios\_cant\_handle\_our\_scale/)

I suppose this version does a better job of hiding the telemetrics code that it stealthly inserts into your exe.

How about let's stop creating new languages altogether. We should have enough by now.

It especially happens when some one is telling you about the home improvements they're doing on their house.

Vulkan capabilities are more or less the same as DirectX 12. Game developers decided to stick with DirectX because of historical reasons and fear.

Alright then ;p

I think pvs-studio is a good tool, but it's not a silver bullet. It'll find a few bugs in your code, which often are just potential bugs, rather than real bugs. Still worth trying (especially considering that it's now free).

Huh? I am an iOS developer and have never been asked for a "DUNS number" (whatever that is)

No. I want my apps to be more portable, not less portable. UWP will eventually die and will become just another failed MS technology, like Silverlight and WinRT

Wait for Reboot? Never heard of hibernate?

Well, if you have a codebase that's only ever been fully tested compiled as 32-bit, you should not be surprised that it'll have bugs when compiled as 64-bit.

no it isn't

I think this story from the onion about sums it up: http://www.theonion.com/article/fbi-uncovers-al-qaeda-plot-to-just-sit-back-and-en-35788 yesterdays results have proved that the plot worked!

Easy solution: simply don't use the new features. Then, it's just the same as the old c++ ;)

Umm, in his example you don't need "strong types" at all. Just check that the properties have meaningful values when they are loaded.

I think the real problem here isn't the botnet, but that people think they need internet-enabled light bulbs.

/MP enables multiprocessor, which is not on by default

How about having toy drones smash into your head? I think that's a bit more distracting. In the last place I worked they bought all these toy drones as a reward for completing a deadline. During the break the guys were trying them out and it turns out they are very hard to control...

constants don't have to be all capitals, neither does assembler... and for me they aren't. What can I say the few times I ever need captials I just hold down the shift key

Seriously? I just wonder under what situations you continously need to type everything all in captials, because that happens to me like once every 5 years.
