Apple was also the first vendor to ship an ARMv8-A compatible chip; I'm sure there have been reports that they heavily influenced the design of AArch64 but I can't dig them out right now.

I immediately thought of the Rotherhithe tunnel in London. While pedestrians and cyclists can use it, it's grim - see this video for example of someone walking it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjAHzZa_pc8 Clearly for

Everything has to use Apple's Hypervisor virtualization framework on Apple Silicon, there is basically no third party code execution at hypervisor or kernel level.

Big Sur was available for Apple Silicon; presumably there are new hooks in Monterey to support this virtualisation that Apple didn't see the need to backport. It's something of a sore point for Mac devs, as it means it's basi

Normally RHEL/CentOS releases are supported for 10y - CentOS 6 was 2010-2020, CentOS 7 is 2014-2024. 8 was released in 2019 so you might expect it to be supported through 2029, a year ago they announced it would be brought forward by 8

The escalation path mentioned in the original post ("developer support contact", I think more officially a Worldwide Developer Relations Partnership Manager) is invite-only.

If you're interested in this topic, I recommend the chapter on Inference Control in Ross Anderson's excellent book "Security Engineering". It's one of the ones which is freely available on his web site https:/

Let's be honest, it likely has much less to do with developer soft skills and more to do with the value Apple perceives from the app being on their platform. The big fish will have more sway; it makes good business sense but it's

It's part of the App Store upload process, and a legacy/holdover from using WebObjects 5 as part of the back-end for the original iTunes Music Store. WO5 was a full Java rewrite of WebObjects (which was originall Objective-C back

I'm not sure I entirely follow the question. We don't attempt to have any tag in the repo itself representing what is "in production" - which itself is sort of a misnomer because of the iOS App Store 7 day phased release

Generally the app store review process is much less of a problem than it used to be, with happy path being 24-48 hours rather than 1 week+. Of course everything is context dependent (team size, codebase size, testing maturity, frequency of

I expect to have to defer to authority because I recognise that it's infeasible for me personally to accumulate the total sum of human knowledge and experience. It might have been different in Galileo's day.

This doesn't look like a post mortem - it is a quick reaction/apology the day after and promise of a post mortem. It doesn't seem unreasonable that they need more time to dig in to the root causes.

Presumably because the app is being sold through the iOS App Store and in that case Apple manages the relationship with the end user rather than the app developer.

After leaving Apple, Chris Lattner (designer of Swift) ended up at Google for a while and there was an attempt to make Swift a first class language for Tensorflow. An interesting podcast on the topic from 2019: https://www.swiftb

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPorts (nee DarwinPorts) was started with the involvement/sponsorship of Apple and was probably the most popular Mac OS X package manager / port library around the mid-00s.
