The biggest thing I've missed is that pull to refresh doesn't work, and it's such a basic tiny little thing it drives me crazy every time it doesn't work.

Besides the Unreal the game engine, Epic has been making huge inroads leveraging Unreal as a virtual movie set, as seen on Mandalorian. I would assume most of the hardware used in movie production is Mac hardware, so that entire initiative

There's a follow up tweet saying this would be catastrophic for their engine business https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1295434558112960519 > Epic says that included in the tools that Apple will revoke is

Apple just did worse than that to them. Now developers can't even work on Unreal Engine from Apple hardware, and those developers aren't going to blame Apple for it happening.

This situation is a very large part of the reason I would never buy an iPhone. The walled garden isn't a surprise, it's a feature.

If Epic devs are running macs, do you need a developer license to run XCode? I'm not sure the repercussions of losing their Apple developer accounts, but I imagine it's not pleasant. https://twitter.com/Slasher&#x2

I don't think they planned this well at all. It feels like rage fueled flailing they didn't think through. What is it going to do for Epic's cash flow if they're not allowed on any app stores for literal years while cour

Seems pretty straightforward to me. If you sue me, and go out of your way to publically attack me, I'm not willing to do business with you until it's settled, if ever again.

Safari is the new IE6, and it's hamstringing the web on purpose, just like MS did back in the day.

They operate under illegal business models to produce impossibly low costs, driving out all legitimate competitors, including municipal infrastructure. The Uber business plan has always been to break the law at a massive enough scale that t

It'll force local municipalities to take care of their transportation needs directly instead of outsourcing it to disloyal mercenaries. The cities that will be hurt are the ones that over relied on a parasitic business instead of inves

Are we so stubbornly "anti-sensitivity" that we have to have a fight over changing a word? The word is not necessary, so why does anyone have to be offended if it's changed?

Looks like NBCNews got this story wrong. Google is saying they never demonetized the sites, but instead worked with them to address issues in their comment sections https://twitter.com/Google_Comms/status/127299742

It seems absurdly implausible to me that Apple can produce an ARM chip that can compete with Intel and AMD performance wise. Maybe they can get close enough on power consumption or instructions per dollar to be worthwhile, but I can't

One of my main things I argue strongly for on any new project is "don't do anything weird". Don't use weird fringe languages, don't use weird fringe frameworks. If the thing you want to do doesn't exist, think

Seems to be some suggestions now that apps were continuing to crash even after commenting out the FB implementation because FB is managing to do remote API calls just because the framework is linked. https://github.com/faceb

Yeah, in this case, I think it's clear that if GPS data was attached, user adoption would be ruined. The most important thing is to get absolutely as many people possible using the technology. Besides, for their own selfish reasons, ne
