Apple Retail ran off Windows-based Motorola MC-50s for a while in the mid-00s before moving to their own software on iPod touch and iPhone. Apple doesn't compete in the CAD space, so why not use the best tools available even if it mean

Wendy's used to only open in locations that already had a McDonald's. Research is research.

It runs Unix but somehow I bet that doesn't really change anything.

That's how you meet people? You invite your friends, maybe one or two of them know someone who'd be interested, they join a few times, and now they're your friends, too. There was the one picture of his three middle school fr

I do have a smartphone, but I don't seem to feel the pain the author feels about being inundated by QR codes and apps. Maybe I have all the apps I need already? Maybe I just don't mind having an app on my phone because I know that

I was all set to come and give Google the benefit of the doubt that they were just subscribed to the GNIS database[1], and that if the executive branch issued an order, then other governmental agencies were required to adhere to them. But w

I'm sure this also ends the Safe Harbor protection they've enjoyed, then, if they're going to be in the business of dictating what content can be seen and where.

12 year old me didn't know who Weezer was, yet, but I knew Happy Days thanks to Nick at Nite. I was blown away, and my dad (who was the reason I knew Happy Days) thought I was crazy because he had no idea what it was. It didn't ju

One of my happiest open source memories was creating an Adiumy skin for my college and others actually downloading and using it. The app was huge. Those were the days.

Not arguing how big companies got data, but there is plenty of public domain knowledge and content available to someone who wants to get it.

So we can't enjoy driving a car unless we build it ourselves? Can't cook with knives we didn't forge? They made something together and used it to - by hand - create more, including the capability to extend what it created. Fr

Meta, the same company that used to play silent audio so it wouldn't be killed in the background? I'm not super worried about them being upset about privacy laws changing.

Yeah, I know, and it's down.

For the amount of money enterprises are paying to GitHub, there is a reasonable (and contractual) expectation of uptime. I don't think my boss would find it to fun if I bailed work to hit the gym just because GitHub was down.

Yeah, that was unnecessary. Incompetent are born and work everywhere. In this case, Microsoft's problem with GitHub is trying to shove the square peg that is GitHub in to the round hole that is Azure.

You're welcome to write code however you want and invoke xcodebuild via the command line, granted so long as it's on a Mac. But look at all the vibe coded apps we're seeing these days - plenty of folks are developing without

Android Studio is available on Android? Got a link to that? iPadOS isn't macOS.

> Own an iPad? Can't develop on that, pay for a Mac. Just like I can't run Android Studio on my Pixel or Samsung Tabs, but for some reason, that doesn't seem to get people hopped up. Why should I expect to run Xcode on a c

I don't know, Oracle historically has a very chill, almost laissez-faire point of view on licensing.

Flight Control HD was one of the first iPad games I had. I under-appreciated how much easier this game was with a finger than a trackball.

Liability is the answer! If you build an auth system and it fails, it's your backside. If Okta fails, it's theirs. Enterprises buy products as much as they buy protection from problems.

I vaguely remember that from the Scion days. I wonder what that does to liability? Like if it's something that impacts the safety of the vehicle - like a roll bar? - who takes on the liability if it's a dealer option?

Wraps exist for folks who pursue it, which is always going to be a subset of those who only look at dealer / manufacturer options. Being able to get a wrapped vehicle off the line is a new option for most buyers.
