I don’t think it’s correct to extrapolate from “copycat rule is applied unfairly” to “don’t make apps at all”. I think there _is_ an interesting tension though. Original developers should receive protection against copycat apps. Users who h

I think you’re forgetting about apple’s frameworks, and the fact that _they_ want to use Swift. Their code runs inside your address space, and I think you’ll need a more complicated scheme to solve those problems.

It seems so obvious to me that your typical engineer, who spent hours / days / whatever working on a feature, is never going to test the edge cases that they didn’t conceive of during implementation. And if they didn’t think of it

Did you find that calling it “OSX” in the prompt worked better than macOS? Or was that just an early choice that you didn’t spend much time on? I was skimming through the video you posted, and was curious. https://www.youtube.com

To be fair, they advertise special features in the airpod microphones (beamforming, “inward facing”, “voice enhancement algorithms”, etc).

I don’t know if the author would draw the same parallel, but it reminds me of safe/sanitized Strings vs un-sanitized Strings. To the type system, they look the same. There are ways to structure your code so that your program (almost al

Some of that work does benefit me: better understanding of the bug, verification that it’s not something I’m doing wrong, maybe some ideas of a workaround. I’ve stopped doing the second phase: packaging it up and submitting it to apple, bec

In that process though, you’ve had someone at Apple verify that your issue is legitimate, and that issue has probably shown up in a place they care about (DTS metrics) Two things that simply filing a feedback issue doesn’t seem to reliably

I hope something changes with the way apple manages bugs. It’s incredibly demoralizing to spend my time reproducing a bug, writing up the bug report I’d want to receive (including a minimal test case), and hearing nothing for years until it

I think Netflix still has an edge on syncing progress across devices making it seamless to switch devices (ex iPad to apple tv) mid-show and just keep watching, although I haven’t tried the others for that recently.
