For people who're not technical engineers and without the knowledge to understand all the technical details: - Does it make sense to make a phone that acts as a receiver (assuming the phone is outdoors), because it's one fewer dev

Most teams I've worked on had a tech lead, a UX designer and a product manager. Why can't one of the first two people play the PM role? It's not as if being a PM takes up a person's whole time. In fact, on most of my tea

No, Nextdoor is available only in some developed countries. What's Ring? Google searches didn't work.

I don't understand why hyperlocal news hasn't succeeded yet, after 8 years of it being talked about. I'm VERY interested in what's happening in my neighborhood, if my neighbor's house was vandalised, or there was a

How long before desktop OSs manage memory like mobile ones, automatically shutting down background apps that aren't being used, so that the system remains responsive no matter what? Or, worst case, if two tasks that need 8GB each are r

But that reduces security for someone with multiple devices. Can I enable some option to require 2FA for remote wipe?

A "Was that worth it?" button might help distinguish clickbait or angerbait from genuinely worthwhile and fulfilling information. Say you participated in a conversation on FB. When the conversation ends, you might get a notificati

This camera: - works well in only some situations. - is bigger and heavier than cameras with much bigger and better sensors. - is very costly, at $1700, compared to $400. Computational photography should result in benefits to the user, like

Maybe so, and many Americans aren't understandable to me as an Indian. I just wanted to point out that not being understandable is a statement about the person making it as much as it is about the people it's ostensibly about. Ind

If a device can't do what users want, they won't buy it, no matter whom you consider to be at fault.

It's not a question of "who promised" but that the device isn't capable enough for my needs. If I have to transfer the code to a Mac, I'd rather develop on the Mac. I don't need an iPad. Besides, Playgrounds is

30% of the sale price, obviously. Regarding your second point, interesting, seems like MAS is good to get started until the app reaches a certain volume.

I agree with the post you responded to. I have a 13-inch iPad "Pro" that I'm unhappy with since it doesn't do what it's promised to do. Can I build an iOS app? An Android app? Upload 100GB of data to Google Drive? P

What are some alternatives to Mac App Store that give the developer the same services, like handling payment, including subscriptions, downloads, some DRM to prevent casual copying and updates, for less than 30%? Last I checked, I had to as

It's not "one UI" as much as not reimplementing parts of the UI that don't change between macOS and iPad. Simplenote, for example, has a two-pane view, with a list of notes on the left and the selected note on the right,

Agreed about stone-age tools. I'm not counting on AI, but on declarative programming. Imagine dragging and dropping components onto the canvas, not graphical ones like buttons and sliders but model layer ones, like classes. Each would

This kind of knee-jerk reaction isn't helpful. Applied to tablets before the iPad, for example, it would be wrong.

But you could make that same argument for other apps: "Why does app XYZ need to be a native app? It does nothing a web app can't do" If Apple starts asking that question, shouldn't they ask it for all apps regardless of
