People look for analogies to the App Store all the time. You can't compare App Store to anything else. You have a logical argument that frames two companies doing the same thing and pointing out the hypocrisy without taking into accoun

As a cyclist, I've had a fair share of "well trained" dogs chase me and nip at my ankles. It's scary and usually only ends after I stop, get off my bike and walk back towards the owner so they can regain control. > Ta

There's piracy, sure, but I'm not losing 30% of sales due to it. I currently run a freemium software business just fine for Windows and macOS. Just sign the code for Windows, notorize it on macOS and sell it through a service I us

Police forces are paid for with taxes and respond to private businesses. What if publicly funded cybersecurity ends up costing everyone less money over the long term? Tax laws are a different issue, even though I agree some megacorps aren&#

I guess it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're buying a book online, it might be worth going to a local bookstore and checking out the other books on the same shelf. You might find a better book (by being able to

Work a little bit on the project every day. Consistency is key. Even if it just means developing for an hour or two after your day job. It sounds cliche, but 2 hours - 5 days a week for a year adds up to 520 hours you can build your product

Could you imagine if all telcos asked Apple for a 30% cut from all it's 30% cuts for network infrastructure maintenance? Whether or not Apple likes it, iOS is critical infrastructure. If you want to make a device that a large portion o

Apple goes out of it's way to make sure no app like this exists in it's App Store. If Screen Time is not good enough, you'll need a physical lock box like a few others have mentioned. Forest is good for helping create good ha

Very nice work! I noticed that if there were notes missed, they all seemed like the long hold ones. Was that a limitation of the AI software or was that by design to keep the strumming part easier to make?

It's easy nowadays to throw up a quick slash page with some SEO friendly pages to gauge market demand. Have an email wait list and if it gets large, you'll conveniently have the email of your first clients.

Low interest rates definitely helped in the last few decades. Recently, yields have been rising though, which created some choppiness in the market. I think one of the main reasons the market hasn't responded in a big way yet is money

So you're saying Apple should pull Chrome's permission to run on macOS anytime there's an accidental zero day or vulnerability? If Google wants to act like a platform, it should have some form of escalation with the developer

I agree, maybe removing the extension from the public facing web store is a better solution. But at the very least, allow the extension to be installed if you have the "hard to guess" URL. I do this with my app that requires a des

If you don't like the risk this poses, don't use the extension. Your ability to make informed decisions about risk vs reward keeps getting chipped away when Google pulls this kind of stuff off. Google should warn you about the sec

I feel like people instinctively suggest to "raise your price" here because that's just what you're supposed to say nowadays. Yes, in most cases, a lot of people undervalue the value of their work, but as someone looking

The author lost me with "Tailwind is bloated." If it's bloated, you're doing it wrong. One of the main benefits is that you can run a command that creates a custom CSS file that only include the classes you need.

Here in Canada, our air force takes out airworthy parts from planes, like emergency locator transmitter (ELT) batteries, before they're sent to museums. They have a stash of plane parts in a hangar somewhere for cases just like this.
