iOS crash reporting and analytics are built in, but requires explicit user opt-in. It's not a requirement that an iOS app use Crashlytics or similar to get this sort of data, so saying "every single app will use such service"

Article seems to forget that there are vast swaths of the population that do not play games. They do not have the patience to learn how to play games, not even console games with simpler controls. Even casual games require some level of ski

If $5k is worth the risk of losing their job, they're not making much money at Facebook, nor think there's potential for much growth in the role. Losing that job isn't going to be a big deal for them, and the article doesn&#x

All the ideas regarding $1-2/mo social networks seem to forget the enormous cost of moderating content on these social networks. Let's say your social network is $3/mo and people can upload unlimited photos. How long does it

Author hasn't tried Catalina, and their biggest complaint appears to be that the email app allegedly has a new UI--but I don't think it does. Mail app looks the same in Catalina, doesn't it? I can't say I noticed any dif

You're not supposed to _use_ the physical Apple Card. It's not just that the card is unusual or somehow hard to use, the whole service is designed to reinforce the fact that the card is a "worst case scenario" for paying

At H&M this past weekend in Southern California they wouldn't allow contactless (Apple Pay) for payments over $100. It's arbitrary, annoying, and customer-hostile.

Gonna join the anecdote club. Before I started doing IF, I had a lot of stomach problems. I was taking omeprazole and eventually pantoprazole (more powerful) but still frequently had heartburn overnight and woke up with a horrible taste in

To be fair to the article it does state that people who get Lyme disease for real sometimes have lingering symptoms like you describe. The article isn’t about that, it’s about quack doctors prescribing huge amounts of antibiotics to people

It’s interesting to see how many famous people end up with “chronic Lyme”. It was John Lurie who introduced me to chronic Lyme, I think he’s “cured” now but I haven’t seen a lot of details as to how or why—while he wouldn’t stop talking abo

I use GitUp as my primary git client, but I switch to Fork to handle complicated rebasing. Fork’s “interactive rebase” tool is fantastic, if GitUp had it I’d never need to switch away. I actually registered a HN account just to say this abo
