It sucks that you can't simply sideload apps like with Android (it is possible but has many restrictions). That's my main gripe with iOS. Without Apple's servers your device is virtually useless. Apple pulling those apps woul

In a story posted a few weeks ago a user pointed out that Netflix doesn't need to show customers the best recommendations, but good enough ones too keep them paying. Ideally they could phase out pricey licenses and keep them at bay wit

It's not even that. I hate it when a website prompts me to install their stupid app for funtionality that could easily fit in a webapp. If this standard means I don't have to install an app for every website I would be very happy.

Yeah, that's what irks me the most about iOS. Their whole idea of "the filesystem is an outdated concept" just never worked out and they refuse to give up on it. The greatest lie is that your iPad Pro can replace a PC, but yo

Yes, but one platform at a time. We served updates to Android and iOS users almost simultaneously. Again, I usually prefer native, non GCed apps. But I also don't try to fix problems where there are none. If Android and iOS made it eas

I get your point and do have a strong preference towards native apps too. But there are other important factors to consider. I was working on a B2B app where users could see graphs and maps of a construction site in real time. The users wer

FAT32 is a terribly outdated filesystem and should just not be used today, period. The filesize and name restrictions are awful. Mrkrabo does have a point.

Giving ad networks tracking information of your editor usage and possibly access to the code you're working (which they didn't do, but the original statement was 'close to being malware') on is beyond mere adware.

With the pencil you can create pretty high quality drawings. It also seems many photographers are happy with the iPad in their workflow. The problem is that 90% of the rest what people do is cumbersome and full of needless obstacles. How sh

>(and most games aren't AAA) You're right, but AAA sells make up the biggest fraction of game sales. Why should I buy a Mac for gaming if I can't play games like Call of Duty, Overwatch, GTA V or The Witcher 3? AA and Indi

As a Mac user I agree with you on the security side, but if you think you will get away from obscure bugs and issues I have bad news for you.

I recently watched an answer on this by Steven Pinker as to why this "re-segregation" is happening. He basically says that legitimate movements don't stop as soon as they've reached their goal and at that point, they sta

As others pointed out before, women are generally believed, as long as the men who allegedly assaulted them isn't employing a much higher position than the woman. Is it an irrational fear? As far as probability goes I would say yes. Bu

I contend that most people that will cause trouble with smart pointers will also cause trouble with manual memory management, so your point is moot.

I don't know about how your organization works, but any one development team with a shared codebase should enforce coding styles. This means indentation but also how common constructs are used. Especially if someone external might work
833.
by emsy 9y ago
There should be a styleguide that is enforced by CI tools, regardless of language, so that's not an issue. However, special cases in the syntax increase the complexity and I would always argue against that.

Do you have any proof that Wikileaks has any information on those countries or that they are conciensely withholding information? Have you ever considered that you might be partisan?

Yeah the "nobody" was hyperbole, but it's obvious that the current concerns are broadly driven by partisanship.

As others have mentioned they want a Chromebook/iOS alternative. They could have achieved this with Win 10 already but my guess is that with Win 10 S and its 50$ upgrade fee, they want to artificially drive the value of Win 10 regular
