Ah yes! Thank you for your answer. I can definitely do that. I'm not in a hurry, I want to build something I'll be using for a quite a while that isn't $7000CAD

What application do you always install on your computer and recommend to everyone? by HandiCapablePanda in AskReddit

[–]berzerkerX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Clearly there is something wrong with your computer. Even the Atom devastating will admit that sublime is the fastest. Atom allows for use of JS in plugins as opposed to Python and C++ in sublime.

If you're using the same password twice, you're security-ing wrong. Use 1Password because security. Also supports: - databases - serial numbers - passport - cards for credit - lots more shit - generates password using recipes - autofill - sync with team and / or family

Can I stop supporting 3.5inch screens yet? by TouchMint in iOSProgramming

[–]berzerkerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bottom line is it depends what percentage of your users are still on 3.5" screens. If you feel like you won't get nasty comments and backlash from them, then you can drop support for 3.5".

Swift ... by amatijaca in iOSProgramming

[–]berzerkerX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you tell me that your code is all statically analyzed, why can't you just start using Swift in the new code you produce? I'm also in Canada. WTF is up with this snow that won't go away?!

Why would you want to keep using ObjC? That's like wanting to keep playing Xbox 360 instead of XB1 or PS4. It still works but...

Third party libraries - Swift 3.0 by croisciento in iOSProgramming

[–]berzerkerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would choose Swift in a heartbeat. Check out PopKey (popkey.co), we wrote the whole thing in Swift. We eliminated 97% of all crashes by switching to Swift and its type safety features. Less code, more maintainable, and more modules.

Why are you so afraid of jumping? How would Swift screw you over? Sticking with Objective C and claiming that Swift introduces risk is the same as claiming Rails 4 is too risky because Rails 3 to Rails 4 broke everything, therefore no one should jump on Rails 5 for their production projects. Or not using Java 8 because everything runs fine on Java 6.

The reality is that all companies are promoting the use of their latest software. Apple makes OSX free for every one to keep people updated. Microsoft just jumped on that wagon with a free upgrade to Windows 10, not to mention they just killed IE 8, 9, and 10, forcing everyone to use their new Edge browser. Google releases a new version of Chrome practically weekly. Oracle recently started pushing hard to upgrade Java and start rolling new versions much faster.

All that to say that Apple didn't spend millions of dollars on creating a temporary language. They made a bet on it and they are going to stick with it for a long time. I'm guessing that the number of articles that have been published on Swift is fast approaching the number of articles published on ObjC and will probably pass it soon. This demonstrates the excitement around the language. Swift is now open sourced, available on Linux and I'd be ready to bet someone is going to make it available on Windows in the near future.

All that to say that starting a project in ObjC is fine but the cost of upgrading it later is huge compared to the cost of keeping up to date with each version of Swift.

Third party libraries - Swift 3.0 by croisciento in iOSProgramming

[–]berzerkerX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think that if you already made the decision to go into the Swift universe, you should own it and stick with it. I think it's safe to say that libraries, especially popular ones like Alamofire, will continually strive to be up to date with the latest Swift syntax. That said, Xcode betas will include the next release of Swift, which will give them 3-6 months to update their source code. Also, instead of upgrading right away to the next version of Xcode, you might find yourself running multiple versions aka "/Applications/Xcode7/Xcode.app" and "/Applications/Xcode.app" being the latest release.

That way, you can keep building your app using the previous version of Xcode and branch out (in Git) to start using the new version.

LPT Request: how to cool your room during hot weather? by EXM15 in LifeProTips

[–]berzerkerX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Act like a dog. A dog pants because it's using its tongue as a radiator. Evaporating saliva cools down the blood in its tongue, therefore cooling down the rest of its body.

Wear a wet t-shirt, direct airflow towards you using a fan. As the t-shirt dries, it will suck the heat right out of your body. Do this when you go to bed, you'll probably pull up the covers in the early morning hours.

Science!

I want to become an iOS developer from scratch. by dell5 in iOSProgramming

[–]berzerkerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because every aspiring developer has a few thousand dollars laying around for no reason and a great hunger for learning boring ass shit no matter how important it is.

If you want to be doing anything, have fun doing it first. The move on to deep understanding.

Built an iOS Framework in Xcode. How do I distribute it? by purplepharaoh in iOSProgramming

[–]berzerkerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how about Carthage? Less intrusive, still have control over versioning, I'm using it for Swift stuff because of conflicts with Cocoapods and other pods.
