I think the reason developers (myself included) try, and re-try to make it work (Coredata + iCloud), despite all the bad experiences and bad stories is that everybody would like badly that it worked. Because if it worked it would be awesome

I think the real secret for coding better, is to know when to apply this advice (just looking for the answer you need without exploring anything else) and at other times maybe when you have more times, make some in-depth learning of broader

On this subject I happened to experience something funny. Maybe one year ago I installed a chrome extension (from the official chrome store) to provide an RSS icon directly in the URL bar in order to subscribe to RSS streams. So far so good

That's a good idea but I nevertheless think big clients (client reader + integrated access to server api) will win anyway because if you have to pay a client and then pay a subscription to a server to have access to an implementation of thi

Well done, it affects me a lot, it was one of two services I'm totally dependant from Google. The second one is Gmail, if I wasn't so lazy I would try to do something about it too, I'm not confortable with my mails stored at Google / in the

I don't know if it's a EU norm but in France eggs are marked with a sequence starting with [0-3]FR, with 0 being the best quality i.e. free range eggs, and 3 meaning battery eggs.

Most of the time people think things are necessarily black or white, but often it is somewhere in the middle and may also depend in the context. I believe he genuinely thinks what he wrote and it might be his truth. Of course, it doesn't di

It's about time to massively rollout FTTH in France. Paradoxically I think its deployment has been hampered by a good early ADSL coverage and the associated low prices on ADSL (with uncapped data). These low prices have decided the operator

Yes you're right but what is also striking (at least to me) is that they seem not very confident with their choice to sticking with Gecko and as far as I can remember it dates back to the launch of Chrome and its new threading model. I don'

I compare that to the http referer sent by browsers, it's useful for developers, highly unknown from non-developers and it's not really good from a privacy standpoint. I don't really know where the line between helping developers and protec

As msy replied there are for sure some informations the seller wouldn't have from a credit card. But more generally this is a good question, I don't know how much informations the merchant obtain from VISA when I purchase something online.

As developer I certainly wouldn't feel confortable receiving this kind of informations. There is a difference between selling for instance a $100 product and selling the equivalent of a cheeseburger. In the latter case I wouldn't expect rec

The term iCloud regroups several technologies. As far as I know the simplest one a basic key-value store works very well, I use it without any problems. However, last year I tried to integrate CoreData syncing through iCloud in one of my ap

I think you're right, I would just generalize your point. There are human beings on both sides of the story, we must remain moderate and refrain from making too much judgements until more facts are known and the justice has fully investigat

An interesting quote of Tim Cook today: "We aren't interested in revenue for revenue's sake, we could put the Apple brand on a lot of things and sell a lot more stuff. The most important thing to us is that our customers love our products,

I think these practices show a total lack of respect from these companies (in this case Apple) to their own employees, it's shameful.

Don't worry I knew that this rant would be controversial, I have few sparred karma points to handle it, it's worth it, anybody should be able to freely express what he thinks.

"discourage" such an euphemism. You can write crypto code and not rewrite all the primitives, I certainly think that any good software engineer could write his own implementation of operations on GF(2^n) but if it's a good software engineer

This is just another example where I don't understand why people are so critical toward someone who try to build something. Are there any flaws? probably, but who would honestly expect such massive code base wouldn't have any flaw? but does

I've observed (non scientifically I concede) the same thing than Marco. Also another thing he wrote I find particularly true is the need for Android users to try to convince others people to switch to Android as if there was no good reason
