Most People Still Use Dialup

Where I live I can only get dialup; to download anything these days I have to go to a wifi spot. Just now I'm downloading the 1 GB Epson Printer Drivers from Apple's downloads page; despite being the only customer in the place, Firefox estimates the download will require 18 hours. I have a Facebo

Goodbye and Thanks for All The Code

I've been out of work for most of the last five years. Many well-meaning yet sadly misinformed people give me what doubtlessly would be good advice for others, for example that I should go on disability, get into subsidized housing or to stop linking my essays about my mental illness from every pa

Re: Language options: Objective-C, Swift, C or C++?

The only feature in Swift that is useful for me so far is its ability to be executed like a script using its REPL feature. And to use it I need Swift being open source. Things will go off topic beyond this point. I always had an Objective-C Web framework (not a WebObjects revival, but a more “

Hi list, I'm trying to replicate a portion of UI in a manner similar to the formula editor of Numbers. For those not familiar, its a widget that floats above the spreadsheet grid featuring a text view and a button or two. Currently I am using the addChildWindow:ordered: method on NSWindow to ad

Re: Language options: Objective-C, Swift, C or C++?

Hi, The way I look at it, if you learn Objective-C, you’ll be able to pick up Swift quite easily, but I don’t think the opposite is true. Also it depends if you want to learn how the system hangs together at a low level, then Objective-C makes it easier. I can’t imagine learning Swift without k

Jens, I agree with what you say, but for the record, there was no sarcasm in my message. I was speaking very literally about what I thought I heard in the WWDC ’14 intro versus what I encountered when I began using it. -- Charles On Monday, June 15, 2015 at 13:50, Jens Alfke wrote: > >

[Swift] best way to support 'keyword' args, symbolic values, show values as literals?

Hi folks, Some of the old uns here might remember that many years ago I wrote a nice little library named appscript which allowed you to control "AppleScriptable" applications from Python/Ruby/ObjC (and, unlike the alternatives, actually didn't suck), allowing you to write code like this (Pyt

Re: Language options: Objective-C, Swift, C or C++?

Consider: If you were tasked to choose a language for a project based only on a "features list", you'd still have no assurances the language would be appropriate for the project or that you would be able to accomplish the project in a timely manner. Features do not equate to usability or product

I may have misinterpreted the WWDC ’14 announcement of Swift. Somehow I got the impression Swift was supposed to make Mac programming easier and more fun. What I found was that with Cocoa, it makes easy stuff harder without making the hard stuff the slightest bit easier. (In the case of string m
