Swift 3 is a huge release containing major improvements and refinements to the core language and Standard Library, major additions to the Linux port of Swift, and the first official release of the Swift Package Manager. Now even better a choice over Objective-C?

Anything is better then Objective-C. Even COBOL. Period.

Never heard of a programming language called "Period". Is that like Objective-C?

How in the world does a sceintist get money to justify that study.
"Sir/ Madam
My proposed paper is to study drunks down at the pub every night, hic , The only cost to this study will be booze money and maybe some snack money. I predict this study will be conducted over the follow 10 year period hic."

Not sure, but when I worked for Boeing back in the 90's, in the Life Sciences Testing Center, a colleague and I found the "Cow Flatulence in Relation to Global Warming" study. Reading it was funny enough, but when we read the name of the environmental scientist, we thought that it had to be a joke. The name on the paper was Dr. Colon Leaky.

Yeah, we didn't even need science for this one. Probably just some empirical evidence.

obligatory XKCD[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft recently announced that they would be making changes to the Bing Rewards program; the company is changing the name, and how it operates, to Microsoft Rewards and we are now learning new details about the service. Temptation for those who have said, "I wouldn't use Edge if they payed me."

Every C++ developer knows that std::string represents a sequence of characters in memory. It manages its own memory, and is very intuitive to use. How long is a string (and other koans)
|

|

But then if you have to pass the string outside its own C++ domain it's a PITA and char[] still are the best solution.
I kind of like the STL, but I can't actually use it anywhere if not in the innermost classes, the ones which aren't managed from outside...
