I don’t recall Apple unpublishing my AIR apps. One of mine was among the first secretly submitted before Adobe revealed the feature publicly. However, I definitely remember after Apple added the new clause, when I needed to submit updates,

Maybe I read it too fast, or maybe my brain was still focused on my work tasks, and that was taking priority over my casual skimming of HN. It doesn't really matter. All I know is that I suddenly had to go back and re-read that part be

Apache funding goes to stuff like infrastructure and administrative stuff. Developers writing code for Apache projects are volunteers and are not paid by Apache. If they’re lucky, their employer might pay them to contribute to the Apache pr

Have you tried creating a .pkg file instead of .dmg? Much better user experience, in my opinion. The developer controls where the .app goes, and there’s nothing for the user to unmount when finished.

If I discover a new movie trailer on my phone, and I want to watch it on my bigger TV screen, it's much easier to immediately cast the video that I've already pulled up than to try to find the same video with my TV remote.

Just to add a little more... Haxe not only transpiles to C++, but it also transpiles to JavaScript. With a Haxe codebase, can deploy a project as both a native app and on the web. Really nice for games especially.

I found it surprising that the author didn't mention the possibility of deemphasizing doc comments at the same time that they increase the emphasis of regular comments. Doc comments have value for consumers of libraries, so I'm no
