There are at least 2 Go libraries written in Go, based on QBE. One is used by this project: https://github.com/xplshn/gbc

> This legitimizes future missions/spending on life searching missions to the Martian surface.

How about spending money to get clean drinking water to the whole humanity (and other living creatures) here on earth first?

They found molecules on Mars? Great, now we know that Mars is made out of different materials. But we knew that before we sent a lonely Rover over there.

Wake me up if they find ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Without ATP no life.

These horses have similar markings as the wild Kiger Mustangs in Oregon.

Kiger Mustangs are a distinct, protected population of wild, free-roaming horses found in the Steens Mountain region of southeastern Oregon. They are descendants of early Spanish horses and are known for their dun-colored markings.

Swift != GC

This! Also, for new APIs Apple reduces (or does not provide) Objective-C documentation.

I really tried to love Swift, but in the end I ended up with 1 project using Swift/SwiftUI, and all the other apps I started to write, I rewrote in Zig or Rust, because the Swift compiler kept giving me vague error messages with no hint which Swift file was the culprit or/and which line/column the error was.

YMMV

Suppose that when someone is retired, there is more time doing stuff, but time is running out…

If someone is in their 30’ or 40’ planning to work the next 5+ years on a project is no problem, even if it takes 10+ years in the end.

For the ones over 65 or older, it’s a different story…

If I remember correctly, in old UNIX desktop environments apps still ran after closing the last app window.

This is not a macOS issue, it’s an app developer issue. If the app developer likes the behavior that the app still runs after closing the last app window, this is how the app will act. Some newer Apple apps close the application when the window is closed.

To switch the app/window closing behavior… there is an API for that.

On macOS only the dock can be moved to the side. The application menu (left) and the statusbar menu (right) will always be on top of the screen. Which makes sense to me.

Good point.

BTW: Your reply made me laugh so hard… I loved it.

Thanks.

Same can be said about other programming languages. Therefore the comment of yours has zero value…

Yep, Loop does all I need and is not in my way.

Garrison Hinson-Hasty is writing a book about a programming language that is still in flux seems a little bit… hasty. Sorry, couldn’t resist…

Tried to use Swift outside Xcode and it’s a pain. Especially when writing CLI apps the Swift compiler chocked and says there is an error, mentioning no line number. Good luck with that. Also the Swift tooling outside Xcode is miserable. Even Rust tooling is better than that, and Swift has a multi billion dollar company behind it. What a shame…
