You're not answering the question of how people from Fresno can easily get to SF or LA. Traveling from city center to city center is also a far less stressful way to travel, and you can do things like work on a train that make TAXI -&g

Reading the comments, I think most of you miss actual realistic complaints of the author. 1) UWP apps are absolutely horrible to debug. They use some kind of COM broker layer to deliver the majority of very cryptic framework level exception

I don’t know, I think the iPad as a serious content creation device, something an FTP client would help with, never really materialized. Apple keeps trying but it’s not there.

Yet, what Safari is, is competition. Also let's not forget that it gave the world WebKit and broke us free from the trap that was Flash.

I think that’s the key point, to learn. So many tech companies make management the only way to continue getting promoted. Then they don’t offer any way for employees to learn how to be a good manager. So they’re left to learn by doing.

I am not convinced self driving cars will ever be a thing we see in our lifetimes that just drive around the city unmanned. Sure, I can see a fully custom Uber navigational system built in with systems that make getting passengers and dropp

Sure, until you hit a wall with the sandbox. Then you will have to write native code to enable features only available on the platform that the application is run on.

To a point that is correct. For simple button actions that trigger a web request and display content, I would agree the knowledge is there and available. For any deeper skillset, photo manipulation, live camera, geospatial or map related co

Every single platform has their 1-line hello world example. iOS has storyboards, Windows has XAML, Linux has QT components. If all you need is an action button to trigger some underlying code, then those hello-world products are very simple

Something I think the article misses to point out are the cliques that form with the groups who appear to execute well under the tyrant vs the groups who are sabotaged. The colleagues who feel sabotaged become resentful and then make it har

I don't know if that's universally true. Some of my best work has been under tyrants. I think as long as we have shared expectations and the "tyrant" genuinely believes in the success of the project, I do not think you s

Naw, the homebrew/piracy groups have been around since the birth of the console industry. It’s been an ongoing cat and mouse game for over 30 years at least.

I attribute my feelings from growing up as an only child, but I absolutely love doing things by myself. I prefer traveling by myself, doing hobbies by myself, going to the theater by myself. All of those things may seem lonely to others, bu

Look I don't want to beat a dead horse, but Microsoft has no one else to blame but themselves. The launch version was a great early adopter MVP and moved the entire mobile industry to a content first paradigm (flat UI). However, they n

Storyboards kind of suck for any team bigger than 1 as far as I’m concerned. They also lock you into a visual binding style development pattern the doesn’t scale as your app grows. Don’t get me wrong, they’re great for fast prototyping or t

Yes South Bay is so overpriced right now it’s ridiculous. Keep in mind that 5 years ago that same house would have sold for 650k and even then people would have been complaining that’s it was way overpriced. One things certain, east bay acr

The trend for multi-platform software is to build it on web technologies. There's nothing for the user to install and they can access the software from anywhere there's an internet connection. If you need it to be offline and inte

I think most people I know in my friend circle also think this way. It's when people change later in life that the old reasons you had for wanting to be together need to change as well. The more well rounded the friendship, the longer

Those numbers are mostly unfair. For some reason in the iOS 10 App Store, Apple started listing the complete fat (both 32-bit and 64-bit archs) submitted .ipa size. If you want to easily test that, clear your cellular data usage, update one

XNU open source bits from Apple are always a tiny subset of the actual kernel code. Plus, long gone are the people who Apple hired from the FreeBSD world who believed in it enough to push internally for it. So who knows at this point what i

This might just be a strategic move to block Instacart as every WF I've been to recently had created an entire checkout section just for Instacart.
