Sounds like you have a buggy or faulty device.

The camera hump is annoying as it means the iPad Pro can't lie flat on a table any more.

I fail to see why a normal person would want the extra things in an iPad Pro. Sure for some professionals it has some good features but a normal content consumer/light content creator (edit pictures, write some documents) it is just ov

I know a couple of people who have worked for Adobe. I can't offer anything super insightful but they both liked it there. It isn't "glamorous" like Facebook, Google, etc. It sounded just like most other big IT companies

God damn Diane Greene hit it out of the park with this one! Amazing work getting Apple to migrate so much away from Amazon.

Nah not Snowden, it was just a joke because in TV shows whenever there is some kind of computer crime the technical specialists in the show (black hats turned white, etc.) talk about how the criminal is untraceable because they were hidden

In my experience a lead developer is the primary contact and owner for a specific feature or program. This person should know everything about what they are lead of inside out, they make decisions on design and implementation. They are able

So you're the guy they are talking about on TV who has "bounced through 7 proxies" ;)

Of course we can agree on that. However I hope you will also agree with me in that the term "lead" for many things gets thrown around quite easily in the tech world. What annoys me is I often see companies promote an inexperienced

Very true but in my experience the number of under 30 year olds who have the experience to be an effective lead developer is extremely small. Yes you get some amazing 20-somethings but more often than not it is just someone who was given th

He does look a lot younger. Lucky him!

No we were talking about Brandon Philips :)

I would have said he looks more like a young-looking mid-20s, no idea how old he actually is, couldn't find anything in my 5 seconds Google search. Out of interest how old is he then?

Reading that KB article and Microsoft are being total dicks with such complicated instructions when they could have offered a download to a tiny program which simply allows the user to opt-out of all upgrade prompts for N months.

Holy fuck are you serious?

Yeah that was the point :) You can wrap up the contents but everything else is open.

Email was not designed to be secure, it was designed to be convenient. Trying to make something that is insecure by design secure is never going to be secure. Having said that taking some steps to better protect yourself is a good idea. Jus

TL;DR Pretty much everything is in C/C++ unless it is Oracle/Apache related which also has some Java or Microsoft who use C# for a few things (but not much).

golang is a nice language but I just can't find a reason to use it over other languages for anything other than networking/server projects. How many HN readers are using golang for things you would normally use Java or C++ or Pyth

I am trying to work out what use the Windows SDK is without Visual Studio (which also includes the Windows SDK!).

Yeah I have been following the Clang\C2 work. I guess that is what the LLVM project would rather work with Microsoft towards rather than rolling their own. It will certainly make life easier for cross-platform C++ to use Clang/C2 over

Yeah I prefer year version numbers too. Makes life easier to know how up to date everything is from a glance.

It would be nice if they could at least keep the documentation up to date on which MinGW-W64 builds work and which don't etc. I just don't have the time to muck around with things when I can just grab a MinGW build and it "ju

Yes but that installer doesn't actually install a fully working environment, you need the standard library from MinGW or MSVC as well.

I love LLVM/Clang but I wish there was a simple tar (or several) I could download and extract on Windows that gave me a full working environment. Finding information on what you need and where you need to put it sucks for someone who w

As I have mentioned before my wife works in the games industry (producer not programmer) and her opinion is that the games industry treats programmers like shit. Maybe a true mad genius programmer isn't treated so badly but the 99% are

Have you written about how you found the process? The good and bad things, etc. With UWP being so new and untested it is hard to find much information on porting an already established codebase to the platform. How is performance, etc?

Yeah you won't get such high salaries up in Scotland. Outside of London I know Bristol pays well also. I think Manchester has some good things going for it also but never worked there myself. What exactly do you mean by native mobile?
