Mm. It’s certainly good to work at the other end of the funnel (thank you!) but it also won’t help address pattern matching that people do in hiring. It’s an incredibly natural thing for people to hire people like themselves, or people they

I don't think they're advocating not doing defer in C? They're saying you can backport the functionality if needed, or if you want to start using it now.

I mean, you don’t have to care about this unless you have an application where you do. And if you do there is enough transparency (ie ability to inspect the assembly and ask questions) that you can solve this one issue without knowing every

You should be able to judge whether something is a copyright violation based on the resulting work. If a work was produced with or without computer assistance, why would that change whether it infringes?

You’re just more aware of it now. The privacy controls are MUCH tighter now than they were in that era. If you’re a software developer, you must understand that the user cannot actually understand what any code is doing. Even if you’re usin

Provisional figures are out. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7218a3.htm COVID’s down 47% from 2021, but still the 4th leading cause of death at 244,986.

iOS actually kills apps in the background FAR less than it used to. If your apps are not preserving state across being killed, it’s because they’re not doing the work to make sure the app death is transparent. Perhaps they’re more tempted t

Services with network effects go clique by clique. You don’t know anyone on it. For others, their entire social circle uses it.

Cairo’s a couple layers down from what you’re talking about. It’s the actual glyph rendering.

If a person is involved in a court case, they are under document retention and can’t delete anything. All Apple’s execs are likely always under document retention. I was at Apple, and tons of people were under document retention. Individual

The standard path for animation on iOS is that the developer provides new target values (ie the location of something) on the main thread, but the animation and rendering does not block the main thread. This blog post is about enabling Lott

Support for different architectures doesn't impact start time much. The code for the different archs is in different chunks of the file. Linking more libraries slows down launch due to initialization that happens to get the libraries r

You’re thinking of the framework ProKit, which was used by a bunch of apple’s pro apps. It didn’t dim and desaturate standard elements though - it was a framework offering a set of custom controls that had their own art. That art was drawn

Mm, suspect we’re hearing one side of this. If my cofounder took a full time position elsewhere, yes, I’d want to buy them out too.

in what sense did Jobs take credit for that? Apple worked with the agency, but I've never seen anyone claim an agency wasn't involved. I've seen the reverse, the story of the long collaboration of apple and their ad agency.

It's extremely strange that your boss could be so unaware, and honestly quite a red flag. Did they have 100 reports?

I do have your issue, OP, that most jobs I see advertised I am not interested in. Maybe you need to think hard about what you DO want to be accomplishing. Energy? Education? What problems do you believe in.
