Another thought here, perhaps more urgent than the rest: bandcamp or label site links where available, so that you can also promote buying and supporting artists. E.g. https://www.beatnikapp.com/music/514 should also l

This is a "FINALLY!" app for me; something that I've talked about for years among friends, former Rdio colleagues, etc. The soundcloud resolution is hit-or-miss, and I would be interested to see youtube in there, but the &quo

It is dramatically easier to send someone a bank transfer in Europe (and I'd imagine, the rest of the world) than it is in the US. All you need is the recipient's IBAN (and sometimes BIC, which is usually already in the IBAN), an

Does this affect custom domains, or is it only an issue with @fastmail.com accounts?

Re: the gotchas, it's possible that this is due to how the app is architected in combination with how the phone and OS are architected. The input rate of 3D Touch, for example, is tightly coupled to the display output frame rate, which

Having done this (/ currently doing it), I would say: follow your heart. Taking time off to nurture your own projects is a fine and reasonable personal endeavor, but not necessarily an optimal business or financial one. In many ways, t

Yes, but leaks of pre-release iOS software can't be installed on locked phones as a means of unlocking them, so the risk is not nearly the same. If you really want to carry this analogy to term, fine, I'll concede that you can&#x2

To add onto this, in addition to the governmental threat, another point that Cook is trying to make is that security is hard. It's hard for the government, which he backs up by citing breaches, and it's hard for Apple (which he o

It's unclear if you're trolling, but assuming you're not, the analogy doesn't work because digital things and physical things behave in fundamentally different ways. In the physical example, according to the FBI's &

The crux of the issue in the article's title assertion, that "US Expats are toxic" isn't because US Citizens personally have to deal with filing extra taxes; it's because the foreign institutions are also required t

This sort of thing really depends on the application, and the nice feature provided with the new "force" property is that you can actually distinguish between a "whole finger pad" light touch, and a "thin, firm, alm

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing -- a DOM attribute with values between 0 and 1. Interesting.

In my experience so far, yes, it will provide unique force values per-touch, though I'm not sure if the quality deteriorates, or at what point it might deteriorate. I don't know how far apart the presses need to be, as I haven&#x2

You have to take a pragmatic perspective here as well. I'd wager that the only reason Bootstrap is a Twitter project to begin with is because of the assignment clause of most employment agreements: If you develop something at a company, t
