So, the next Trojan version of Xcode also needs to replace or corrupt spctl. I should look at it (on iPad currently), but it seems like the right combination of a custom Certificate Authority added to the keychain and signing your malicious

From the linked recode article: "But sources said it will end up paying investors, who put a reported $17 million into the company, for the right to hire some of its staff." That sure sounds similar to the anti-poaching agreements

Yeah, the bug is interesting. I was also interested to see this is not a new bug for chromium, this was reported in May 2015. And that bug has a potentially related bug from Nov 2014. https://code.google.com/p/chromium&

Our Java backend serializes strings that look like numbers as numbers in JSON. When the ObjC code deserializes, we have properties that might be the NSString we expect, or an NSNumber just because the user entered all digits. I wonder if th

At work they're consolidating systems, and we might lose our entire code review history. Having some redundancy isn't necessarily a bad thing.

For me, that's the real point. We need developers to care. Apple's come out with APIs for app thinning, and they've had the right and wrong way to cache files forever (etc). But, that dev work doesn't increase downloads

Maybe because it's really hard to visualize/understand the size of a device based on diagonal screen size? It's only useful to me as a number to compare to other devices. I need height and width, which they do localize.

I find the swipe and pinch gestures essential. I think I heard at WWDC that iOS 9 adds support for command-tab, which goes great with a hardware keyboard.

You can also steal a book from the library under your jacket, and then you don't have to return it. It doesn't mean it's legal or right.

I wonder if the survey sent to the other law enforcement agencies mentions remote surveillance of suspects. It's a pretty small leap from "finding stolen phones" to "finding any phone". On the other hand, I really l

As someone who primarily works on iOS, I would have liked to see Apple's ARC mentioned. With the addition of weak pointers, I think it gives a good blend of performance (no GC) and low mental overhead. I think marking pointers strong o

You might replicate the fraudulent screenshots with the PayPal.com domain, see if that gets their attention. That said, isn't the real story that domain escrow services exist for a reason?

Still no HomeKit support? Worst part of the Google acquisition, IMO. I've actually considered replacing my Nest with one of their competitors that does support HomeKit. I set up SiriProxy a couple years ago, mainly for the Nest support

I think you're wrong on the timing of iOS 9 being widely released. I think regular users are likely to have it within the month, and adoption should be faster than ever.

Looks like this hasn't been updated for the changes in the Swift language (since June 2014). That doesn't take away from the content, just be aware that tweaks will be necessary before the Swift will run in more recent versions of

Looking at the Rovio layoffs, I wonder if he'll be able to repeat success, or will his one hit only be able to sustain him for a little while. As an outsider looking in, I'd be sorely tempted to bank the profits instead of re-inve

Interestingly, the iPad split (software) keyboard chose "both". For en-US (I don't know if it varies by region), the 6 key is drawn on the right side. However, you can happily tap where it would be with your left index finger

It makes sense to me: they're forcing the automakers to subsidize the R&D of electric vehicles from their profits on ICE vehicles, which seems like a normal thing for a business to do when it benefits the business. Since convention

I wonder if these anecdotes would be a good litmus test for developers. They make me cringe, but I work on business software, not games. I really don't like the idea of papering over the bugs so that your testers can't find them a
