I know that. I'm Italian, and Western European Languages can be expressed on a 1-byte character type. I also understand that the performance gain of 1 byte char was significant. But now is 2014 and not to have to wrestle with encodings

I can tell that proper Unicode support is a reason to discounting a language/library if you're not a native English speaker and/or writing programs that have to be localized.

May be that foreign governments aren't any better (but I bet that no EU government spend as much money as the USA in wiretapping), but if you're not an US citizen (and so no warranties are valid for you) I think it's better t

I think the same, but I suspect in the most (all?) of the USA sick employee have no recourse when fired. I remember something about that (what to say to a sick employee you're "involuntary separating with") in a course I had

EU privacy laws explicitly forbids exposing photos (linked to personally identifiable information) without explicit consent, especially for people of minor age (the specific country laws may change a little, but the general sense is clear).

Well, no. I have some fb profile (with photo) in my phone contacts of people that it's not in my friend list, but (probably) it's in my "friends of friends" list. So probably the latter is enough.

Unfortunately, the encrypted notes (and the binary attachments) do not match very well with git inner working. Also, git is GPL-licensed and, you know, GPL and App Store don't play well together. A clean room implementation of git on i

Basically it started as a personal need/itch to scratch. Also, I'm old enough to remember when my data were my data, applications were my applications and no other entities were interested in what I do/write/see. ;) The

Not currently. There are not so many alternatives for free that supports both iOS and OS X, btw. An alternative backend could be bittorrent sync, but the API are very young and tailored to web app, not desktop ones. Of course, the app will

I'm thinking about tags (an often requested feature). The tags availability could allow a folders/notebooks-like UI (not unlike the Gmail tags show as folders in IMAP clients).

It can be played with the Interlude Player on mobile (at least on iOS), just hit the page on the mobile device for the download link.

I understand that this is "what spies do", that's not the primary point of outrage (not for me, at least). What is a valid cause of outrage is being spied (to this extent) from a country that states to be your partner/al

Automatic upgrades stop is only one switch in preferences away. I use it to preserve iOS versions I have to test with. About rollbacks, I'm told that this will leave the baseband modem (not downgradable) in a version not tested with ma

You can always identify your customers though your application without any external library or effort. The point is that (your analytics provider) can track you through all the apps using the library. This is a significant difference, IMHO.

After giving some thoughts on your same issue (customer privacy and security), I moved on to use Piwik ( http://piwik.org/ a well known opensource analytics server) on a personal server. There are also native libraries for m

You know, police in EU normally don't chase criminals at high speed and they normally found them easily after the fact (especially if they wound/killed a cop). High speed chases are extremely rare, there is no rational need for them (and t

As a father with a child with autism spectrum disorder (it is not fully diagnosed until 6-8) I strongly second to have your children tested and enrolled as soon as possible (ideally as soon as you have any doubt or see any sign). Therapies

Objective-C is not "managed". iOS apps are sandboxed, but obj-c is very near to C (and most of the Foundation API are pure C). Also, ARC is not mandatory and there is no garbage collector on iOS.
