It's not as easy to find as it should be, but you can recover deleted files on iCloud.com: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201104 (search for "recover") Whether that only works with intentionally dele

Would it be feasible to implement Vulkan atop Metal as a library without horrible performance? (Keeping in mind that the baseline of Apple's OpenGL is already fairly slow and behind the times. And Apple's customers already have fa

I could buy a PS4 and use it for the rest of my life If you're amazingly lucky. In actuality, you've got to replace it (or have it repaired, which is usually almost as expensive) every few years because it wears out. And you&#x2

The unequal subpixel sizes are due to OLED brightness fade; the blues wear out the fastest, while the reds last the longest: Does it vary the intensity as it ages? Otherwise, it seems like the displays would start out way too blue before

I'll always carry a deep association between Zippy the Pinhead and a plaintext Unix login because of fortune(6). To my teenage self, the mystical, cryptic, clever quotes from Zippy that greeted me upon login matched perfectly with the

No hearts and no minds are changed as a result of the supreme court rulings, just the code powering the justice system. This assumes that peoples' moral judgments aren't influenced by societal opinion and that societal opinion i

His point may be a good one but he does it a disservice by framing Swift's letter as a rant, which it very certainly was not.

To my knowledge, the only claim that Apple is threatening to remove music from purchase comes from this one guy ranting on Twitter and it was specifically denied by Apple. Doesn't mean Apple's telling the truth, of course, but it

Strongly agreed, and I'd add another benefit that I've found to be even more important: nearly everything that comes back when you search for "WebGL" will be relevant. That's entirely different from the situation

I think this is exactly it. Perhaps they do have a specific usage in mind that they're aiming for, but I bet they'd be taking these same steps regardless.

Unexpected: "Xcode 7 and Swift now make it easier for everyone to build apps and run them directly on their Apple devices. Simply sign in with your Apple ID, and turn your idea into an app that you can touch on your iPad, iPhone, or Ap

To make a scheme like that work, you'd essentially need to check before every single method invocation in your entire program because the issue — such as it is — is with method invocations being made against nil references, not with ni

I'm kind of surprised there's not a means (to my knowledge, at least) to crash/throw an exception upon sending a message to nil for people who want to better ensure their code doesn't have lurking issues like this. I sup

Tangentially: anybody have an expectation on longevity of a 2015 machine with decent components vs. one from that era? Are 2015 capacitors still as troublesome? I expect having fewer moving parts (as well as there just being fewer separate

Seems a bit hyperbolic. Anti-trust laws are still in place, but I don't see anyone seriously arguing that Apple engages in widespread anti-competitive behavior, much less calling for a legal remedy. Apple certainly is in a place that

The original Game Boy display was 160x144 pixels. The font's name implies that it's made of 8x16 pixel characters. So I'm guessing each glyph in it is used to represent a unique configuration of 2x4 Game Boy pixels because th

It's using a console font: Ubuntu users may see the message "Failed to set font height." Term Boy uses the setfont command to change the font height, which looks for the font default8x16.psfu in /usr/share/con
