I work at one of those "big companies", what you're saying just isn't true. You'll find pockets of bad management, but that's far from "everybody is expected to fall in line".

It's so nice to see such rare and nuanced discussion on HN, declaring that one has deleted their Facebook account; a refreshing and entirely not beat to death reminder indeed.

Why would you expect a 6 year old phone (the 4S) to have any sort of resale value? That's incredibly old in phone years. The Galaxy S5 was released half a year after the iPhone 5S, which might explain the price difference.

Yes, but they're getting paid, which is going to easily make up for the larger number of individuals developing Linux. Not to mention that 10x the devs does not come close to 10x the productivity.

It's an entirely different concept; this is logic based programming and constraint solving, nothing to do with DOM elements or user input.

There's absolutely nothing about this that would benefit from having promises - none of the operations performed are blocking. It's constraint solving, not I/O.

This makes telemetry effectively useless for developers though, unless a big intrusive "Click here to opt in" button is presented during startup. Nobody is going to enable it on their own accord.

Any source on where this data comes from? Also, this is very visually misleading. If you're not looking at the key closely, it's changing quite a bit between years.

There are laws against drunk driving (and harsh penalties for those that are caught), and you can't buy a firearm without a background check from a dealer (with more states requiring gun show dealers perform background checks now, too)

It's very much a security thing, there've been lots of exploits that work by dropping a payload into a W&X marked area in browsers (usually dropped in by buffer overflows). Apple also doesn't like unsigned code, and JIT (

by dymk 11y ago
App sandbox is just one layer of the security model that iOS employs, and another is not allowing JIT'd code, in case someone finds a way to drop a payload into W&X memory. There's no reason to increase your attack surface if

Sort of. It would be nice if we could sequester the carbon already in the air in trees. The benefit is two fold: More trees, and removal of carbon that is already in the air from burning fossil fuels.

Symbols are obfuscated or removed entirely if you choose to build without them; you don't have to hand Apple your .dSYM if you don't want. I'm not sure what other metadata you're referring to.
