   Maybe related: One of Django's creators, Simon Willison is British. I think he worked at Guardian. He's on HN too.

   Can you share that app that backs up Apple Notes?

   I'm waiting for a long-running job while reading this and noticed that it says "228 countries". Supposedly there are about ~200 countries. https://www.worldometers.info/geography/how-many-countries-a...

   I don’t think they had to do anything illegal. One of the things they could have done much earlier can be felt in the App Store nowadays. Notice the lack of emphasis on charts now. It’s not perfect now, but developer laments that getting fe

   Couple of things: * iOS upgrades were free and macOS upgrades turned free a few years after the iOS App Store became available * the lower price tiers available for app developers started with 0 and $1, and in steps of $1 * for many years,

   Is that Computer Science at tertiary/undergraduate level? Or something else? If it is, is that common?

    It has been like this since day 1 — the developer agreement says Apple has the optional to retain their 30%, but in practice, I have not heard of anyone hitting it.

    Apple doesn’t charge the user immediately. Instead it consolidates over a few days. So, often, the card processing fees are lower for Apple.

    In case it wasn't clear, Smalltalk does have if statements. They just aren't special keywords like in most other languages; instead, they are methods of the True/False classes. The way it is implemented (hopefully) opens up t

    If you are referring to writing useful articles (and not referring to paying for articles), Slicehost and Linode definitely started this way earlier than DigitalOcean.

    I have been using vim for about 2 decades so I can empathise with not having the familiar key bindings and speed of moving around. A good Smalltalk environment does let a developer navigate the image [1]. On many systems that means it allow

    Haha. True. It's history for me, but the great product lives on. The nick "blairmc-msft" is interesting though. He's at Microsoft, or was at some point?

    On certain systems, there are tools that make them feel more native. Eg. on Dolphin Smalltalk which ran on Microsoft Windows, you can run a utility to stripped off the unnecessary parts (eg. the browser/editors and unused classes) of t

    It's probably obvious but it's obvious to me only on hindsight: Do not block the ventilation vents of your MacBook Pros. Eg. this might happen if you use it on the bed (hopefully not for too long).

    I use `git log -S` very often to read the commit message for figuring why a change happened. A wonderful reason to create atomic commits with good commit messages.

    Yeah. I skimmed through the code. Seems unnecessarily. It does wrap it to run in the main thread, which can be useful. I've found that more often than not, saving a few lines of code in too many places in the codebase can almost introd

    I don't understand. How is this better than using `LAContext` directly?

    In some countries, like Japan and Taiwan, they have big lockers for storing luggage at the airport or MRT (metro) stations. Is this meant for the same purpose?

    Related to this. I write comments for TODOs that I want completed before I commit with a special prefix like: //hhh I want this to be done before I commit. Then have a git pre-commit hook that scans for "//
