It’s true that 30% cut is AFTER VAT is paid. It’s also true that Apple handles VAT for the developer, and that’s a real mess. So in the list of things that the 30% pays for, VAT handling (and all invoicing in general) should be remembered.

It’s not ridicolous to call it impossible to do in 30 days. In fact, my startup with 10000 users wouldn’t be able to do it in 30 days!

That’s a tech-centric view. For most people a browser is defined by its features like tab handling, account syncing, preferences, extensions, etc. Nobody cares about the HTML engine, only developers. The fact that it’s possible to change th

The point is that people would follow YouTube videos that promise CRACKED SPOTIFY to change that choice so that they can download a copy of a cracked version of Spotify filled with malware. That in turns reflects badly with Apple because it

They have proved that, already. They could have reverted the direct payment system, kept only Apple IAP, and then sued even for damage recovery of 30% since the beginning of the lawsuit (or even the beginning of Fortnite on iOS). Apple has

I think they just went through applying the agreement, which says that the account will be terminated in the specific case of willingful infringement/circumvention. If they had not tried to apply it, it would have been hard to prove to

I’ve more experience working with iOS Reviews. Anecdotally, I was able to discuss with a real person, get at least some insights, and I even went through an appeal and won it. It really sounds like Google is refusing to provide information,

Yes but Apple has stated that it’s a special program for video subscriptions that other developers can and has joined even before Apple (eg: Canal+). The terms are not public but it looks like they’re made available as an option to develope

Thanks for the article, it provides very good insights. In the article, there are a couple of passes that mention “benchmarks” where Firefox was faster than Chrome. It sounds like those benchmarks, albeit I assume they were correct, were ac

I think this is more typical in public administration. Employees just follow the existing rules/laws because it’s not their job challenging them, and decision makers are mostly concerned on shifting away blame from them. Nobody wants t

I’d start from allowing multiple mutable references. Second would probably be something about relaxing lifetimes but I can’t properly articulate it right now.

Please, turn this into blogpost. I’ve had very similar feelings for some time. I tolerate the borrow checker because I want to use Rust’s other features. I think Rust with no borrow checker is much closer to my dream language than it is rig

It’s not clear whether they will continue to be assigned to Rust, though. At least, I didn’t find this explicitly confirmed anywhere. If anything, I’d love to know how many Mozilla employees were working on Rust full-time as their paid job

The feature is useful for desktop applications that want to help the user compose a mail to the customer service, including some report logs as attachment. Notice that the user is still required to actually press Send in front of their defa

I don't think there is a cogent risk that general computing open platforms will go away soon. PCs can be self-assembled without buying them as an appliance from a specific vendor, and you can at the very least install Linux on them. If

Fortnite is available on several different game consoles and platforms (most of which, by the way, have a 30% commission fee). It used to be the case that it wasn’t available on iOS, and it was a planetary success already. Customers that ha

FWIW, AirPlay can send a H264 video of my desktop at 60FPS with ~0% CPU impact (hardware accelerated), good enough to play many games on TV.

Use Safari. Turn on the developer settings, and find the setting to disable VP9 in WebRTC. That will force Meet to stop using VP9 and switch to H264 for which MacBooks (and Intel CPUs in general) have a hardware accelerated decoder and en

Well, it’s still a joke that Google Meet will stream desktop / windows at 4 FPS. I would be curious to know whether they really think the feature is good enough.

I think Apple point is that users that need being protected from themselves without even realizing it are far more than those who might get a benefit from root without getting burnt. Since the two things can’t exist at the same time, they’r

I would classify this as using an in-band signal rather than an out of band signal. Twitter used to have this same problems ages ago. I don’t remember the details but it was something like DMs being standard twitter messages with “/dm”

On the other hand, programmers are very good at wasting weeks creating incredible software architectures to try the latest library they read about or try a design pattern, or in general over engineer something so that it’s “better designed”

Third-party apt repositories are a security nightmare: you are giving a third party unrestricted semi-silent root access to your computer. I can trust my distro provider with this, but it should be strongly discouraged for third-parties. In
