I think that goes without saying, it's virtually impossible to make a living with a paid up front app now.

There’s far less malware on the mac than Android though, which works the same way.

> Well, no, they can’t. That’s the whole point of the DMA. Yes, they can. And no that’s not the whole point of the DMA. You still need to have a valid Apple developer account and certificates managed through Apple.

They can revoke that developers' certificates and patch whatever vulnerability allowed a developer to bypass that restriction.

The prompt you're talking about is a part of the operating system's security and privacy model, this has nothing to do with the App Store or the DMA. The DMA is not requiring this to be changed.

Can you explain how you believe the App Store prevents contacts and pictures being siphoned off currently?

I'm not sure but long-term, increased competition might be a win for AAPL stock and force them out of their slump and light a fire under them again.

Some stuff was pretty accurate. Most people got Apple wrong though.

I asked GPT-4 today to optimise a function for me, giving it a hint at what algorithm to use and it produced something incorrect and about 100x slower than what I was trying to optimise.

An internal framework for mobile apps that the CTO of a previous company had built. Very simple and very flexible surface that hid a lot of complexity of persistence, offline state syncing and conflict resolution.

Good on him, I guess? I'm happy we have a somewhat functioning high speed rail system here but I can't say I'm in a hurry to be in the ICE 24/7 for the same price as renting a flat.

You can say the same about a lot of SWD roles, even the ones considered "harder".

Wow! This is great, thank you for sharing. I ended up buying it.

I would imagine gatekeeper would have shown at least one warning but maybe the user just allowed it.

That’s not a virus it’s a spam calendar account your family member has accidentally added. That’s not specific to iOS and a different attack to the one described in the article.

I think the reason is you can leverage yourself a lot more than you can with other consumer investments. A bank won't loan you a mortgage to put into QQQ but they will to put into a property.

> what aspects of sideloading prevent Facebook from starting their own App Store and saying “give us full permissions to mine your microphone and email for marketing or you don’t get to use Facebook”? The OS already enforces gated access

by jamil7 3y ago
I’d guess the majority of the things you like about the security model are things that would still work with side loading.

I can relate, I used to have a small open source project (eventually transfered it to another maintainer). I often had quite rude and demanding Github issues from users.

Consumer SaaS is booming on mobile, there's a lot of money to be made but it requires bigger teams and investments now than it did 5-10 years ago. OP is right in that it's harder to have a lifestyle business selling small apps.

Mobile is tricky, people mostly transfer into it from another specialisation and you’re expected to have a pretty deep knowledge of whichever platform you pick. If you go the Flutter/React Native route you’ll need experience on both an

Yeah but database migrations are the kind of grunt work I'd classify as a good usecase for it, provided you review them carefully. I think OP was saying for actual problem solving it's fairly limited.

I haven't seen a project started in it in a long time but there's still quite a bit of code floating around. I get the impression it's still used pretty heavily at Apple too.

Compilation speed for an Objective-C project is certainly a pleasant surprise after Swift and Rust.

There are way too many other variables involved to really make that generalisation. I've lived in a city with very strong rent control and one with none and essentially no tenants rights. Both cities currently have rental shortages, ju
