'First class web apps' was precisely how you were supposed to create apps for the first iPhone; the SDK was thrown together over the next year only after the huge demand for writing native apps. The iPhone pushed a bunch of device

This. I worked on satellite control systems in that time frame on these exact boards (OSE and VxWorks); at the time they were considered incredibly powerful for space applications. It was quite the step up from other embedded systems.

Just to be clear: Apple does not have your facial biometric data with FaceID. It does not leave your device and is protected by the Secure Enclave there. There are reasons to prefer TouchID to FaceID, but that isn't actually one of the

Oh? I have an intrinsic right to the land that I currently own, the car in my driveway, and the computer I'm typing this on? How did that intrinsic right derive? And why don't I have an intrinsic right to, say, the land of the ent

Property rights inherently derive from the state . Unless you subscribe to "might makes right", the idea of property rights is inherently a social construct which the state is a formalization of. Limitations on rights is precisel

At the scale of the US, those numbers can be highly misleading. Public schools in high-income areas are likely either receiving less from the government or it simply makes up a tiny percentage of their budget. I suspect that the percentage

Post-WW2, which had remarkably lower levels of inequality, is what made America wealthy. The first guilded age gave us the depression.

Because being dogmatic is exactly what causes people to start ignoring this sort of methodology. Pragmatism really does have to win out sometimes. Maybe you're in a hurry because the bug is causing active downtime. Some bugs really are

That's actually the opposite problem. The example given there (which matches the description) is the use of "a friend and I" in object position, not subject position (as is the case here) due to over application of the

You're missing the actual logical result of life in our society not being simple: people do not have enough time or available energy given the rest of the demands on their life. Civilization has evolved toward specialization, and the b

The article is dated 2010. The App Store was opened in 2008. The iPhone was released in 2007. Flash was not present from the start, and the intention at release in 2007 was that web applications would be how 3rd party developers developed f

This is cherry-picking articles to create a false timeline. The iPhone never supported Flash. There was never a "Flash ban" so much as there was never Flash .

This is completely false. You're forgetting the original iPhone did not have a native SDK - the original plan was for 'apps' to just be web apps. It was only a year later that the SDK was released after the huge demand for on

So, let's say what you actually mean here: overly complex state is a problem, regardless of the syntactic sugar around passing it. I've seen monstrous state variables passed around to "pure functions" at least as much as

You're talking yourself in circles. Your final sentence contradicts the remainder of your point. Testing is limited when you do not have the ability to fully control state, and understanding can be limited when information is hidden. T

This is not universally true, as someone who didn't finish college and is at a FAANG. I can't even remember off the top of my head which of others of my colleagues didn't finish college, because it simply doesn't matter.

I've personally used a B+Tree variant in this case with special-cased insert rules. Rather than splitting nodes when they're full, if they're filled due to appending at the right-hand-side we simply start the next leaf (or ne

To someone else that has programmed for a good 2 decades or more, the above sounds like cowboy programming that leads to unmaintainable systems. Unit and integration tests are not "substitutes" for good and modular design. Good an

On the flip side, as an interviewer, this all incredibly true. In particular, I frequently end up asking algorithmic questions during interviews. For all the hate that they seem to get, I find them to actually be quite predictive; in my e

Did either you or the parent read the article? It's explicitly based on a new scientific study attempting to use the areas where there is good data to get better estimates on the incidental methane releases than we've had before

Neither. The counter is per days of application use, so (2) is false. Not using the app does not affect the counter. The counter is also per domain, and so while the first party domain for the PWA (which is likely to, of course, be loaded

You've been downvoted, but the science suggests that you're not crazy. See for instance: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21058441/

If you don't hear "Your code was wrong. Let's discuss." as a junior engineer, you really should try to find a better team. Junior engineer code (hell, senior engineer code!) is quite frequently wrong, and a team with a g

No one's saying that two people can't make a "consensual exchange of value" of legal actions . I can't make a "consensual exchange of value" by paying a mob hitman to kill someone that I don't like.

This is fundamentally incorrect. Because UTC doesn't change, the two "identical" times are different UTC values.

That's FBI spin. Apple's reluctance to drop their own keys for backups is entirely based on the frequency with which they have to recover keys for nontechnical users who have lost their passwords, and you'll note that more an

This is a completely invalid scenario. You are only required to implement Sign In with Apple if you use some other third-party sign-in system . If you implement your own sign-in system, there is no requirement for you to implement Sign In
