Oh to be sure Objective-C wouldn't be on the radar were it not for iOS. I'm sure that 95% of objective-c developers are working on iOS (the other 5% probably being MacOS). My only point is that there's a big difference between "uses" and "requires".
Well hell, so long as we're substituting words, I choose to replace the word "correct" with "high" in your previous statement
I'm not sure I understand how it matters why it's popular. The index isn't a listing of strictly general purpose programming language.
Actually that's not even remotely true. You always had option of using C and C++ in addition to Objective C, and ever since apple removed the language restriction you can use whatever language you wish so long as it compiles to native code, resides in the app bundle, and doesn't use undocumented API calls. In fact many games are written in C# using monotouch.
But even if your statement was correct, I'm not sure it's relevant. There are lots of environments that *require* Java development, so do we then apply some sort of negative weighting to it's rank on the TIOBE index? If it's popular it's popular.
I don't consider myself a feminist by any means, but I imagine it's a bit frustrating that a discussion of a male CEO rarely ever involves talking about their looks, yet it's one of the primary topics when discussing female CEO's.
I know it probably doesn't mean much from some random guy on the internet, but I've derived a tremendous amount of joy from this site. Thanks so much for your efforts here. I do hope that you update cmdrtaco.net w/ you find out what your next endeavor is!
I advised Abbott to put her cell phone away
If she sues, this will be the part that screws the officer. She was in a public place, there was no expectation of privacy (in fact, given that it was a TSA screening, quite the opposite). I'm surprised that he even wrote it down in the police report.
It's only not as bad as it sounds if you actually thought that the hdmi cable police were going to beat down your door. For everybody else it's *exactly* as bad as it sounds.
Agreed - they totally screwed over their entire user base and as a consolation prize they are offering more of the same. In fact, I bet that acceptance of this "Complimentary Offering" is contingent upon agreeing to not sue Sony or take part in any class-action lawsuit.
I doubt that an ARM version of windows would ever wind up in a Desktop (or laptop). Could be that they are attempting to create a more tablet-friendly version of windows than what you get with Windows 7. You could get away with Office on something like that.
Personally though, I suspect that there's less of a story here than people think. They are probably just going to reveal a newer version of Windows CE. Big deal.
I agree. Retina display resolution on a desktop would be great, but since most desktop displays have worse dpi than a Nintendo DS I'd be willing to settle for 147dpi. And I'm guessing that 200dpi on a 30" is totally doable on displayport.
Big screens aren't getting higher DPI because (a) it's not needed (generally, you're looking at a big screen from a few feet away, and 100 dpi is more than enough)
I disagree. Try turning off antialiasing on a 100dpi display and then tell me if it's "more than enough".
All of your content gets loaded onto Blizzard's infrastructure. There is no local storage. If they don't like your map/gametype -- for any reason -- they can wipe it from existence. Why do they do this? Because they can
Because we can. Literally. We have a support department now of size and ability to enforce these types of things. --Bashiok, Blizzard Community Manager
Seriously. I don't think I can tolerate slow trickle of news that leads up to the 2016 release date.
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
