Men are expected to "hit on women" and score. Patriarchy hurts us all. So in my book author of this post is a sexist and misogynist. This is drivel.

Having grown up with screens that never seemed bright enough, it's funny to me that in 2015 I'd be far more interested in one whose backlight is able to go particularly low .

So they offer it for game consoles, "smart" TVs, Roku, and handheld devices of all sorts… but not Apple TV or Chromecast? And that's by their choice, not Apple or Google's? Huh.

I think we must be using "unlocked" in different ways. I'm intending it in what I think is the conventional way for this context: when the device's cellular subsystem is not electronically locked to a particular cellular

The jailbreaks for recent versions of iOS only allow jailbreaking unlocked devices, at which point security is already compromised. What? You must mean something else because unlocked devices aren't (necessarily) compromised.

iOS apps can be built/signed/installed from a Mac running Xcode 7 without any extra requirements. I'm surprised this fact hasn't gotten more press.

Voice calls over VoLTE or Wi-Fi sound great. It's just a matter of carriers rolling it out (and building interoperability amongst themselves).

On the other hand, a student would likely be quite far along with an ARC language (well beyond intro) before they'd need to understand anything about the subtleties of it or even its existence. Until then, they can just treat it as t

I think there's a big difference between "lead/director" and "primary". I wouldn't ever call Linus the primary developer of Linux (well, at least not after the early '90s) but "lead" sounds

Oh, yeah, I should've thought about dmgs. Yikes... that seems "not OK"; but if they made shell scripts require signing I imagine that'd probably break lots of stuff.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I suppose it wouldn't have execute permissions if downloaded from a browser, but it could if copied with Finder from a network share (or directly accessed, of course), so that sounds like a potential vector.

This is one more reason a continuous integration system is wonderful. If it works on a developer's box but breaks the integration, it's broken by definition. (No warranty is expressed or implied that the CEO will see it that way,

I haven't gotten to try it to confirm but I'm having trouble imagining why an unsigned .app bundle containing a binary executable would get the code-signing error but one containing a script wouldn't. Is that in fact the case

And users attempting to run it would encounter the things I mentioned above, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

It's not clear whether this "adware installer" is signed by a developer cert. I'm gonna guess it isn't, which means under the default settings, if a user double-clicks it to execute it, they'll be presented wit

Their transformation to being primarily a service provider happened more than a decade ago. Is them helping clients deploy Apples instead of Lenovos really that much less "IBM"?

You're definitely safe writing your own apps in it for well into the foreseeable future — there's not only way too much app code out there for it to be deprecated soon, but the vast majority of the system and bundled apps are in O

Way back in like 2010 there was a clause added briefly to the iOS developer guidelines saying things had to be in Objective-C. There was an outcry and it disappeared not long afterward. Unfortunately, the idea that other languages can'

Not all of that is the app makers' fault. These days they generally need to support 32-bit ARM (maybe 2 different flavors?), 64-bit ARM, @1x, @2x, and @3x assets, iPad and iPhone versions, etc all in one bundle. Fortunately, Apple is a

I don't know. An iPad with cellular is hardware-wise arguably more similar to an iPhone than to an iPod touch. Software-wise, it doesn't have Phone.app, of course. So I suppose that's maybe the key: whereas iPads and iPod tou

It's just interesting to me that the iPod touch (which many people think of as "an iPhone minus the cellular chip") follows the design cues of the iPad (which many people think of as "a big iPhone, often minus the cellul
