I think that's a good idea as long as it's balanced. A list of things you can't do is reasonable. btw, you can do nfc beyond payments on ios and have for years; https://developer.apple.com/design/human-i

I agree. I think most of arguments against what Apple is doing are based on an incomplete picture of Apple's product. They are based on someone not appreciating an aspect of what Apple is doing. Maybe they don't like the price.

When i was a youngster, back in linux kernel 2.0.33 days, I hacked my kernel so that it spoofed traceroute. When it was going to send an ICMP time exceeded, it would change the source ip to the next one in a list of curious ips. Simple cha

I wonder if the management at google actually use their products. If they did, there is no way they would allow them to be killed. Apple's senior staff definitely use their products.

I agree it's not honorable. But if he wanted to protect what he made he should have at least registered the trademark. By not registering the trademark you're saying that you don't care.

From the article; > You could of course say that it’s “a slippery slope” sort of argument, and that we should trust Apple that it won’t use the functionality for anything else. Setting aside the absurdity of trusting a giant, for-profit

Why is that so important? 1) in production, hosts like aws have cheaper options for arm based compute 2) software emulation on m1 is largely comparable to native x86 performance, certainly per watt.

If you've come from java and you like node, maybe you should spend some time with the alternatives? A big part of it depends on what your exact requirements are but my experience with node didn't bite me for quite a while. 1/

Quite often I use the search to find a string across projects (we have quite a lot of microservices). It would be great if you could exact match and also if the results would be from master by default. Quite often it puts me in a commit an

I'm not the parent poster but I'll have a go. Please feel free to correct me if I've got parts wrong, I'm hoping to learn something too. In other languages, lets say Erlang as an example, actors themselves do not have c

I'm no expert but put too many extensions in there and you're looking less like RISC and more like CISC. It would make more sense on x86 platforms.

Besides the ridiculous ranting, a lot of the problems aren't bluetooth per se, see Apple's W1 implementation. With Airpods Pro and an iPhone I get near instant setup, great range, etc.

It's also that sometimes they stay on that codebase because they weren't the best engineer, and all the better ones move on to bigger things.

do you think having lower altitude satellites will help with the jitter much?

by anko 6y ago
I get what you’re saying but it’s not fully right. In c++, the language allows you to have infinite loops. In erlang/elixir you can’t - you need to do recursion instead. This language feature makes sure that one piece of code doesn’t l

I think you're missing the point. There is no problem with multiple stores existing as a model. In fact, on android you can have that. If you like multiple stores, and you want the hassle of using reputation services to manage which

It's amazing how much easier it is in erlang/elixir. having lightweight isolated processes and no (or little) shared mutable state matters a lot. :)

That's arguable. For the top developers it's about 48% more on app store see https://www.valuewalk.com/2019/06/ios-app-store-vs-google-pl... . And Google's play store has value to Epic too - they st

It's not a matter of users picking privacy vs no privacy. It's just one point in the package Apple are offering. For some people it's a major point, and for some people it's not. But it's still a point, and it&#x
