Interesting ideas, but when it gets into utopian promises about being able to find all versions of a file ever on the web, it reminds me of the talk around RDF[1] and FOAF[2] in the late 90s/early 00s. Not to mention pre-Web hypertext theory, PGP, and any number of other things. All these things can be very useful patterns in tightly restricted, highly curated environments with specific use cases (whether or not they are part of the larger web). But they aren't panaceas and they don't address the underlying sources of the problems they are trying to work around, namely that all this unorganized junk on the web they aim to take control of is created by people and companies who are one or more of: lazy, sloppy, confused, conflicted, error-prone, avaricious, malicious, obnoxious, cruel, naive, desperate, or ignorant.
"Find a gap and fill it, I always say! My great-grand-uncle is the one who came up with disposible ketchup packets. Me, I found a data structure with O(sqrt) search time. Sure it doesn't have all the doohickeys of a Red-Black Tree, it's not as quick on the insert as a radix - but at the end of the day it gets the job done. And to some people, that's all that matters..."
I found some things about it to be frustrating and buggy, but it was still less work than writing two different apps. My code was about 90% shared between devices.
Swift's concurrency story is pretty much handled by GCD. IMO a fantastic set of APIs that make it pretty easy to deal with worker threads and queueing tasks and such.
Ahh nice - I didn't know that. It'll still be interesting to see what happens to the rest of the libraries and API's that are common place in Swift development
Does anyone know of any good resources or papers related to bacteriocins as antibacterials? How much work has been done on developing something clinically relevant?
TSMC ships huge volumes, and that is indeed where apples manufacturing is rumored to be going. IIRC they recently signed a huge deal with them too. In this business though a mature process like samsungs 28nm High-K metal gate is quite valuable over a newer one like TSMC's 22nm.
Keep in mind that the ARM processor space operates on razor thin margins, and Apple's iPhone business does not. Also it has been rumored for a long time that apple is moving most of its chip fab business to TSMC, but I suspect their waiting for the next process node before making the jump. A company that values reliability like apple prefers a mature process.
