Having said that, and as a Jazz fan, the generated music is horrible. Keep feeding it more jazz tunes :P
Bill Gates is still too attached to MS, of course, he build it. If Apple did what the feds asked it, this would back-fire Apple consumers.
1. People would just no longer trust Apple, which translates into less devices bought.
2. This won't prevent terrorist or whatever their excuse is. If terrorist know Apple does this, they will just use other devices.
At end, only us, the normal consumer loose with this.
This would just help MS and other companies to gain more market by screwing up Apple. Until the feds come after these other companies that is...
Here's the thing: I love programming, I've been working has a web dev since I was 18 (34 now), but I always loved design and creating desktop apps. And recently I've been learning Swift and mobile design.
This year, the startup I was working with went bankrupt, and I just dive into depression and self-confidence as a developer. I couldn't stop thinking to myself: "oh no, not again all those web dev interview processes and more JavaScript, PHP code..."
I got burnout of web dev, I just couldn't see myself doing it any longer. I hate JavaScript and the whole current ecosystem, it's a fucking mess, I don't want to have anything to do with it. PHP bores me to death, it's getting more and similar to Java syntax. Traditional web apps are dead. Everything is an API with a frontend-app, and that's fine, but I'm done.
So I decided to move, I'm now learning design, UX, Swift, iOS. And I'm loving it. The creativity and motivation spark are back! I feel so free, the web was a burden to me, a constant pressure to keep up with frameworks and trends.
So before you quit, think of moving to something different. Learn a new paradigm, try something different. Tired of C++, learn Ruby. Tired of Ruby: Learn C# and Unity 3D. Tired of the web? Try building an iOS TV app.
Don't like legos? Reinvent the wheel then. Go nuts ;), programming is a way of expressing yourself. Like an artist feel free to do whatever you want.
I really hope this boosts the widespread of Swift. I'd love to use it for back-end dev for instance.
Most of this is because we grow up watching movies and tv shows with subtitles. Heck, I even remember watching Cartoon Network without any subtitles at all.
Another thing I noticed is how good the english accent is from people from Portugal and Sweden.
1 - What prevents someone from altering a JS file and serve it to other peers?
2 - Is it possible to obtain all the version of an object and see it's history of changes (like Git)?
