I was in denial about it for a long time, like you. I came up with excuses, like you are doing, to explain it away and not have to deal with it. If it really isn't so much of an issue, then how come so many women are up in arms about it? [0

> If people need to see that there are others like them in a community (do they though?), then this module list is exactly right. We don't. Especially in the tech community, everyone is assumed to be male by default. There was a post no

Oh, okay, I misunderstood. That's fine.

In what field is it not creepy to have a man keep a documented list of all the women contributors for purely 'curiosity' reasons?

Wow. This thing is totally inappropriate and extremely creepy in all contexts. Out of "sheer curiosity"? Jeepers. I hope this gets removed. Great message to send to the women in the tech industry: come join our community and we'll single yo

No. There will be an Irish Government investigation into this. They would never get away with manufacturing it.

Famous last words. Sorry, but a basic principle of security is to assume that you are already 'owned'.

No, developers don't matter more than the average user, and that fact is the reason Apple sells so many of their products.

V8 requires just-in-time compilation, which is not allowed on iOS for security-related reasons.

They're still supporting the iPhone 3GS, aren't they? If they had a viable reason to put resources into the iPad 1 and have it meet their performance and usability requirements, they would have.

Then why haven't they taken down GNUStep and Chameleon? Oh right, because APIs are not copyrightable or patentable and it's absolutely meaningless to attempt to assert ownership over such things. The reason why you're the only one "theorizi

Apple made the bet that there's a fundamental difference between the mobile experience and the desktop experience. They didn't replace OS X with iOS, they each exist as expressions of a different type of computing, for different purposes. M

Well, there's no One True Way for Software Engineering, and certainly this service-based approach can and does work for many, many projects. Obviously it wasn't a complete disaster in Twitter's case. If I may, I'll employ another Anti-Patte

Are you familiar with Model-View-Controller? In this case it would be moving some of the controller logic (the parts responsible for rendering views and dispatching events from the UI) to the browser, and using an API to communicate with th

I've experienced it first hand at my previous company. It's not unmanageable, but it's certainly a lot harder than supporting iOS.

In my experience those rules can be bent a little bit, i.e. for an app that displays 3D graphics like an augmented reality application, it's generally fine to use Lua or JS to script those, even if the code is downloaded from the web. Of co

That's a fairly common meme and a complete misunderstanding of the motives of corporations. Companies do lots of things that don't immediately look like profit-gaining moves to investors. Actually, put another way, do you think that Google

Nope. Xcode and the entire stack behind it do not run on Windows or Linux. It would take a team of engineers months to pull it off, then another team to continuously support it. In those months, the feature set of Xcode and the compilers wi

You should still be using something like TestFlight. Emailing builds arounds is nice but reaches critical levels of headache after the 5th or so beta.
