Used to have a 27" iMac and loved it. If they made a decent iMac "Pro" with a 27" again, I would seriously consider getting one!

What a load of rubbish. Is this generated by AI? Sure reads like slop...

The real deal is Obj-C++ - now there is a powerful combo xD

For example, we used template wrappers around NSArray for static type checking and "smart pointers" to avoid manual release/retain calls all over the place, which was glorious.

And there goes my trust in Firefox out the window...

Safari seems to be the only decent, privacy-focused browser left on the market.

Until the Ladybird arrives.

Some Russian closed-source music player... While it's a cool concept, I am far too paranoid to actually install it.

While true, it is often ignored that combined EU does possess a huge, highly advanced and well trained military force.

So more than that I'd hope EU can then put its squabbling aside and respong in unison to any military provocation as well.

Not quite as small. Combined EU has the largest economy in the world, is by far the wealthiest region on the planet, possesses a huge & advanced military force and despite decline still has pretty substantial manufacturing capacity. (only reason US tops these rankings is because in EU each metric is tracked separately for each country).

So if EU got its shit together and formulated a coherent unified foreign policy - it would be at the very least on equal terms with both US and China. Hence why everyone (from Putin, to China to even our allies the US) are so invested in breaking EU apart (and even succeeding - the Brexit).

I wish whole of EU would declare in unison support for Taiwan. Wonder if China would kick out every single EU nation embassy then?

I feel like Go lost its chance by being way too slow to innovate. From my circle of people who I remember were extremely excited about Go when it first came out - no one really uses it anymore. In our circle it has become a "meh" language. Heck Apple Swift on server is way more exciting than Go these days.

I have fond memories of ExtJS until version 4 was released. I used to be huge advocate of extjs at our company, but I remember feeling horror and dismay seeing how down hill it went with 4.0. Communication with the community, their pricing policies, quality, perfomance ... too many issues. We pretty much stopped using it and ported all our projects away from it. It really was a sad day.

It was ultimately their mad push to make ExtJS "enterprise" ready and forget all the good people who helped them and were with them from the start. There really was this huge middle finger from Sencha to everyone around that time.

Neat, but horrid naming for everything. Why does namespace need explicit "cpp_" prefix? Why do classes inside "cpp_redis" namespace still have "redis_" prefix? I would prefer simple "redis::client" so much nicer than "cpp_redis::redis_client"
