If that were the cause it’d apply universally. But the point is that she can use her phone to a much higher degree of independence, despite fat finger issues, much smaller screen real estate, and lack of hover effects, double clicks and rig

Haha yeah I personally hate WebRTC. It’s a mess and I’ve literally rewritten the parts of it I need in order to avoid it. (Check my profile) I just brought it up as a technology that at the very least is both legitimate and common.

These days there is almost nothing good with permissive if your project gets used by mega corps specifically. They don’t want your opinions, your expertise, they don’t want to share anything back, they won’t pay you, and they will even avoi

No I think it’s designed to catch misclicks and children operating the phone and such, sold as $17/week possibly masquerading as one-time payment. They pay for App Store ads for it too.

It’s not about stupidity, but practicality. People can’t give informed consent for 100 ToS for different companies, and keep those up to date. That’s why there are laws.

On the one hand, yes this could work for many cases. On the other hand, good bye p2p. Not every app is a passive client-server request-response. One needs to be really careful with designing permission systems. Apple has already killed many

Bingo. The secret sauce is never a sustainable long term moat. Things leak, competitors copy, or they make even better things, employees switch jobs. AI looks less vulnerable, since it’s academically difficult and expertise is still limited

Yes! This is how AI should be used. You have a question that’s quite difficult and may not score well on traditional keyword matching. An LLM can use pattern matching to point you in the right direction of well written library based on CS r

In my rather small code base I’ve been quite happy with ”unknown” instead of any. It makes me use it less because of the extra checks, and catches the occasional bug, while still having an escape hatch in cases of extensive type wrangling.

You can’t talk politics without first overcoming tribalism, so I suggest you start there, since in the US that is sadly the state of things. If you start by talking about which sports team is better you will also cause these reactions. But

I think with Apple you agreed to let them do human experiments in the EULA when you’re unboxing your device. With yet-another-tower-defense games the agreement needs to be done on a per-app or at least per-publisher basis. The native iOS pe
