200k/year should be collected in no time...
Most of the time im writing simple and small programms (on a windows machine) that manipulate data, interact with the web, or work with files.
I really liked Swift from the start. It has all the language features that I like. Sadly, with no Windows support, and Linux being only a second class citizen, I'm not motivated enough to spend a huge amount of time with Swift.
I also hope that they provide a documentation like Go. The Swift book is fine but the examples of the Go documentation in addition to the text, the easy navigation between packages/structs, and the aility to jump to the implementation helps a lot while learning the language.
- Performance (CPU wise)
- Price
I would rather ask why are people buying a macbook over a macbook air? The macbook air has a better price/performance ratio. And the form factor cannot be a logical argument... The macbook air compact enough to fit in everyones bag.
I don't know the author and his gaming background but he certainly hasn't spent much time playing blizzard games. At least he isn't a 'hardcore' gamer. Truth is, if you are a casual gamer you probably won't notice how dumb their current development is.
In short: WoW: Numbers don't lie. People would still play mmos if there werent any worth playing. http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/5063-WoW-Down-to-5-6-Mil...
Diablo: Current content is shit, multiple design failes that needed to be corrected. Both D3 and the addon weren't ready on release, needed patches to correct the bad quality.
Hots/Hearthstone/Overwatch: Knockoffs of Dota/LoL, Magic, Team Fortress. I don't think a knockoff should be called a quality game. Also, both Hots and Hearthstone have/has horrible balancing issues => bad quality considering being balanced is the core content of the game. Not to mention that Hots was really shitty from a technical pov (after beta).
However, Python 2/3 is a better example for breaking backwards compatibility.
If I would use my phone to play music the battery would be dead by noon.
If it rains while im on a run, I only risk 120€ not 500-900€.
Not to mention that an ipod is WAY lighter (12.5-31g) compared to a smartphone (130g). Which makes it less iritating when you carry it in your pocket.
In that fashion, ISIS could argue that their torture is ok and necessary because the USA is also doing it to obtain information.
Fact is, no one can prove that his stategy is the best alternative.
