This post is somewhat ahistorical as far as the objective-c content is concerned.. perhaps Brad Cox had the author’s conception of how one should write ObjC, but what he describes was definitely not how Apple thought about or encouraged fol

It’s not different, but it’s a feature that this is included vs only supporting static linking.

Those mandated apps still go through App Store review. Apple’s point is those entities would bypass review if they could.

This last one was an issue in an image decoding.. it was public API. It’s extremely common for an attacker to find a way to exploit a maliciously crafted image. Take a look at libpng, https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability

Are you suggesting there was not a real complaint about Ashley’s office being on a superfund site, or that you don’t find the claim credible and that therefore the nyt shouldn’t have reported it? The complaint itself is definitely about the

It’s more like, if you send someone a photo, iMessage will decode the photo and display it. If the imaging library has a bug a maliciously crafted image may be exploitable. iMessage has more integrations than that too. If you send someone a

Mm, I'm a hiring manager, and I would not really prefer the software degree. Certainly it would quite low in the signals I'd be considering.

It's pretty interesting that there's so much variation in how we're understanding the advice. I read this as John suggesting a stair step path to "learn deeply". If you can section off one defined area, a tool, it&#

This seems relevant. “MPlayerX hasn’t been working for almost a year now. Also they still offer my apps on the App Store, they revoked my (direct) distribution certificate...” https://twitter.com/charliemonroe/status&#x

> it’s not obvious to me at all that the same direction as the (negative) gradient leads to the largest decrease in the value of the function f(x) What am I missing here? This is straight up the definition of the gradient.

“VR Simulation for first responders” sounds good. If you want to elaborate, what would you say about your offering that a competitor would NOT say about their own? You can avoid vacuous marketing that way. “High value” isn’t useful because

Apple's is recognizing specifically "hey siri" at all times - it isn't otherwise listening. Perhaps you find the distinction uncompelling, but there you go! https://machinelearning.apple.com/2017/10&

What do you think are the chances that Dropbox “just works” on a file system on which it isn’t regularly tested but which nominally has the right feature set? I’d go with “not good”. :-)

This kind of spending is so foreign to me. At $250,000 per year per person, that supports 100 people for four years. I… suppose that's not completely insane?

Well, if you'd like to be upvoted, maybe find a couple of those study links. I looked into water fasting several years ago because a friend's father went on a 40 day water fast to address cancer. Everything I found at that time wa

You don't think apple's support of llvm and clang has been important to the project? That's REALLY pushing it.

by kenferry 8y ago
Well, I mean, it's a little more than that unless clangd is straight up finished software. Apple will now be contributing to clangd as well, which benefits all clients of clangd.

This is very misleading. The question is phrased “How much money do you have saved in your savings account?” I only have checking and investment accounts.
