This company I'm interning for is heavily Apple-oriented since their sister company is an Apple retailer so swift will be a good next step if they wanna hire me
I'm not an apple fanboi but I realize they do have their uses. People like my dad for example; He's a techno-tard so apple products being so easy to use and clean in design makes it easy for him to use it
But it feels like I have to actively fight Windows to be able to develop JavaScript (because of long file paths with node_modules, those folders regularly hit 255 character limit)
Then you have the whole way that PATH works etc
And how a lot of developers are already on Apple with web dev, so the ecosystem is geared towards that anyway
I.e, Flowtype, type checker for JavaScript, only really works efficiently on Apple and Unix machines
annnd the file watching in windows is awful compared to unix. Yeah, lots of reasons haha
What is the maximum filename character length of files in OS X?
Of secondary importance is whether some characters are allowed/disallowed in addition to any overall length restrictions.

So far I've actually never had any issues on my mac
Related to the OS I mean
Unless you count that bundle install too many times broke itself
I can confess to that it bothers me more than it should that there's a little space under the window where the menubar is supposed to be while it's hidden
Retina display is amazing and the quality of the image transfer to my second screen is really good
I have dualboot unix, however I never really boot onto unix because I like playing League - which doesn't work on unix - and I don't have to have to restrat into unix just to code...
When I'm having a solid day of coding, then I'll boot into unix, otherwise I jjust want to code in between games
That's the downside, but there's no difference for me when I have 1 or 20 tabs in FF, while in chrome I had better not plan to do anything else at the same time

I just read this this question about MathOverflow and Mathematics. After reading the answers and comments, I get and idea that every site that contains "Overflow" is meant for experts.

Yet with regular hosting I find packages that offer static+PHP content for 3 euro per month with unlimited bandwidth, so in a sense that scales too - And then I could make calls to a backend that is hosted somewhere in the cloud?
In the same way that my local PC has unlimited bandwidth through my ISP, but if I tried to host a real time site on it it would probably crap itself.
Let's talk in the context of AWS, since that's what I know and @Quill knows.
With AWS, you have AWS S3, which lets you upload static files. There is no bandwidth limit on these files, you are only charged based on the amount of GETs and POSTs to the file though I believe very large files do incur a cost based on MB transferred, on smaller files this cost is negligble.
AWS S3 is fine for smaller sites, but AWS hosts each S3 instance in a specific country (Frankfurt, Ireland, China etc)
If you want to have your site accessible in a speedy manner across the entire world, you want a CDN, which will host copies of your file in multiple locations around the world.
That's Amazon CloudFront and it is significantly more expensive than Amazon S3.
But with both S3 and CloudFront there are no bandwidth limits, you are just billed on the number of requests and MB transferred.
You can definitely host full static sites online, like html files, javascript files and image files etc. That's what I did when I had a blog at lambdaexpression.io
@DanPantry I don't quite get that concept yet, multiple files over CDN I completely get, but where does my domain link to if I want to host the full sit eon cloudfront?
About what kind of costs are we talking monthly/yearly? The thing is that it's going to be (ultimately) a fansite for an active game right now (Blade and Souls), and if it will attract users then I just don't know what I have to expect
So if you host 100MB of static files (which is a lot of static files unless you count user submitted images) and receive 1000 requests every day, it would cost you $0.30 per month.
For S3 in Frankfurt
The sites that usually go "down" aren't because of bandwidth limits
It's usually because they are using virtual servers and the virtual servers get their resources exhausted and they don't have automatic scaling set up (because that can hit cost barriers)
S3 is not going to go down because pretty much half the web (exaggeration) is hosted on it.
Now, CloudFront - the CDN is a bit more involved in pricing.
Each country costs something different, but if we assume you get 1000 requests from europe per day for 100MB of data (same scenario as above) it'll cost you 0.08$ a month, probably on top of the existing $0.30 a month from S3.
Actually I think my calculations are wrong for CloudFront but you get the idea.
Static file hosting is dirt cheap.. it's virtual servers where it gets expensive.
Also, @Gemtastic, Amazon CloudFront does come with Amazon Free Trial - users get 50GB of free transfer and 2mil HTTP/S requests per month for a year. That would easily satisfy @skiwi's needs for the first few months at least.
I'm not having an argument. I'm telling you that it's poor coding that would fail any sane code review and shouldn't be encouraged just because it's allegedly "simpler to understand". — Alnitak24 secs ago
@Alnitak This isn't code review. It is answering an specific question. And the answer is correct. — 250159 secs ago
Just because it is not a code review does not mean you should write crap because it is "easier to understand". At least go into the caveats of the approach instead of waiting to be called out on it. — Dan Pantry57 secs ago
Apparently a feature of our product was broken since it's release, but a user has only just raised the issue now. When we asked them why they didn't raise it sooner, they said they just never bothered to report it.
Umm, wat?! No, I'm saying that code written here should be written as if subject to a code review, because some hapless person sometime in the future might come along and use your code, not realising that it's poor code. And that would be as much your fault as theirs. — Alnitak12 secs ago

Sometimes it's more normal, at least for some users (I know I was like that for a time, before I started coding), that there's a kind of "challenge" in finding ways to get around bugs and still get the app to do what you need
You have to bear in mind the situation we're in.. we're migrating from an old app from 3rd party to a new one. All functionality is more or less exactly the same. This was a fairly big bug which was affecting her integration with another system we use and would have affected them daily. There is no work around as it was causing a data issue.
This was simply a willful loss of data for 4 months.
Luckily the scope was limited, but there was simply no excuse for not reporting this bug other than laziness.. and while all of us get lazy from time to time, this is pretty bad :)

@Hero1134 Code Review Stack Exchange is a sister-site to Stack Overflow, where instead of asking for help solving specific programming problems (as you do on Stack Overflow), you instead take all the working code you would like reviewed, and the answers will critique your code and suggest improvements in performance, readability, maintainability, etc. Do take a minute to look at the Tour if you are interested. — Phrancis55 secs ago
I don't know if your plans are for iOS/OSX development or otherwise, but either way, I'd see if you can focus on learning pure Swift as much as possible without incorporating frameworks.
