Would be interesting to hear his opinion on this. It's awesome anyway that all of the source is just in the open. I often use it as a sanity check for my own code when I'm dealing with messaging and VoIP.

This is what is confusing about this article anyway. You used to be able to run your VoIP application in the background all of the time. This has been closed for longer. But WhatsApp and Facebook are really old apps, supporting pretty ancie

Not being able to lurk in the background does not have anything to do with security. I don’t think Signal uses it and they’re generally considered secure. You can check out their source.

I liked the way the UI was built in Flutter and of course Dart > vanilla JS. But with SwiftUI and Jet Pack around the corner there's a bit less appeal, especially since Kotlin & Swift > Dart and a lot of UX niceties come for

I work mainly with Swift nowadays and some stuff like String handling is way more complex than in other languages like C#. Since I'm not doing a lot of series-of-characters manipulations in my daily work I need to rely on Google and a

Customer service got so much better over the years it's almost unbelievable that we accepted where we came from. It used to be that companies needed to be shamed on national TV before they would even consider to change their attitudes

I find public WiFi without password unhygienic just like the average pub toilet or an internet café Windows XP computer. I might get away fine using them but I always feel a bit dirty afterwards. Paid for an unlimited 4G plan just to not ha

The worst thing about 10x devs is that some of them work in places where the process or general dread reduces them to 0.1x to 1x developers.

This article doesn't feel like an attack on C++ but rather C++ written by incompetent people.

I had a low end one like 7 years ago and I was pretty happy with it. The integrated graphics were way better than Intel had back then and it worked pretty well with that GPU accelerated UI Windows got starting with Vista.

It's still true people were using a lot of bicycles even when there were a lot of cars in city centers. They were just more prone to get an accident with a car as cars were allowed to drive faster and basically could come everywhere. W

It can be a bit overwhelming during rush hour though, two way bicycle traffic of multiple cycles next to each other going at different speeds. Makes crossing Vredenburg almost like a real life game of Frogger on foot.

Well the G3 when it shipped it was pretty competitive if not faster, the G4 still was pretty good in some benchmarks but the Intel / AMD post Athlon fight broke loose by then so by the time Apple switched to the Core architecture they

My battery was in the program as well but at the same time it was also lower than 80% of original capacity at full capacity with 1000 cycles, so it was technically worn out. Usually you can replace them for 199 euro in that case and it&#x27

Yeah I really liked Flutter so I was excited that some of it's best ideas were coming to Apple. But Flutter is so young it's hard to imagine they rewrote whatever they had in a few months and got it ready to ship in just a few mon

I'm a bit out of the loop regarding C#, but I don't remember having trouble finding what I needed in .Net itself. MSDN was bad back then but StackOverflow has been an excellent resource for C# from the beginning.

The World does need a easy to use system to do cross-border payments. US clients often say “can’t we use PayPal?” while it’s often a major pain in the ass for the receiver outside of the US perhaps Europe. Bank transfers are somehow very ha

I would also be interested in the cost of developer time lost by using the language itself and compensating for it’s almost entirely lacking standard libraries.

The funny thing is that Safari works really great blocking all this kind of stuff on websites. So I want what Safari does, in all of my apps _unless I opt-in_.

It would be nice if Apple would move to @3x for this Retina screen, making it a tad above 4K. Yes I would pay the Apple tax for that. Also interested in what they're going to do with the 13" one. If it gets a smaller bezel screen

Thought it was 5 workdays tops? Perhaps they're expecting a ton of people turning in their machines since batteries usually need to replace by now anyway.

Yeah threads still suck. They claim they've investigated it and it was the best solution but I totally get lost with twenty threads over five Slacks with ten channels each.

But Apple updating the version would break scripts that were relying on particular version's features.
