Lightning was meant to be a software-defined serial data interface, I suspect because of the confusing breaking mess that was the 30 pin adapter over its lifetime. The digital logic to work with hardware was pushed outside the phone into th

The first beta often ships with core features missing or broken. It exists to get as many new features in front of third party developers as soon as possible, because Apple has very little time to accept feedback before they are locked in f

Some of these are hard comparisons specifically because what you are describing is really the initial exit. Acquisitions are often not funded by valuation as much as an actual plan to make money. Something like Minecraft for an example - th

This doesn't seem like a new discovery at all - this is what news publications have been dealing with ever since they went online. You aren't going to get advertising without also providing value - be that money or information. Go

It is a direct response to developer feedback - that they only are going to make iPhone apps because redoing design to support even just iPad, let alone a watch, TV, Mac, and AR variant is work. Even Facebook hasn't found the resources

Or that on Apple platforms, you are not supposed to use "OK" as a button, but rather the action it is going to perform (e.g. "Delete"). Using non-standard labelling _and_ putting buttons in their non-standard order is a

I suspect there wouldn't be an agreement on a minimum set of features for a modern filesystem, even just for external disks, even if you limited it to flash storage devices to avoid all the complexities of spinning platter latency. Aft

Are you using a single Apple Account for both the primary account on device (iCloud, etc) and for iTunes? That is the other scenario where I see people hitting this.

Apple has started using Swift for production embedded code run within the Secure Enclave. I've been looking out for any evidence whether they are using it in the C1 modem baseband. I don't think I'd push for it over Rust for

They are different language designs sharing quite a few of the same features/philosophies. Swift is good for business logic, like writing an app. Rust is better for infrastructure, like writing a HTTP/3 server or Javascript VM. Sw

This is a layer on top of the operating system support for virtualization, which Docker Desktop (and tons of open source alternatives) already use.

Why is Rosetta 2 used for running native containers on Apple Silicon? My understanding was that it was used for running x86_64 containers within a arm64 linux VM, because it could provide hardware accelerated emulation for the linux binarie

On a ARM linux target, they do support Rosetta 2 translation of intel binaries under virtualization using Rosetta 2. I do not know if their containerization supports it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtual

In this context (OCI containers) that seems very inaccurate. For instance, ocijail is a two year old project still considered experimental.

Every OS can theoretically do 'true' containers without VMs - for containers which match the host platform. You can have Windows containers running on Windows, for instance. Containers themselves are a packaging format, and do rat

The premise is containerization, not necessarily particular resource usage by the host running the containers. For hosted services, you want to choose - is it worth running a single kernel with a lot of containers for the cost savings from

There's effort to define standard behavior here. See https://wicg.github.io/private-network-access/ (although I suspect this document may make a significant shift soon)

Rust and Swift share a lot of core concepts. Swift has a few extra bits for Objective-C compatibility (when running on Apple platforms), but otherwise the biggest differences come to design and ergonomics of the language itself. If I need c

JDK 24 is not a LTS release, with 1st party support ending in September. It is also 6 1/2 years newer than Java 11. I would imagine many companies would not use anything newer than JDK 21, the latest LTS release.

Basically no. Even records are not value-based types, but rather are classes limited to value-like semantics - e.g. they can't extend types, are expected to have immutable behavior by default where modification creates a new record ins
