Does Apple prohibit sending them the source code so that they can compile and load it through Xcode? I realize that requires a MacOS computer, which costs money, but the “free” in free software principles is about the freedom to share the c

There was an entire controversy about how hard Apple made it for law enforcement to access iPhones, which indicates security benefits. Apple’s business model also aligns with user privacy (so far). It’s also worth considering Apple’s CEO pe

I have two questions about licenses that require distribution of source code (like GPL & AGPL). 1. Do they limit the freedom of the developer to keep source code private? 2. Do they make it harder to sustain a living wage through the la

I disagree with the bullets about banning/censoring apps. There are ways to install and run software on iOS without using the AppStore. If developers share source code, people are free to compile and install it using Xcode. It’s also p

GitHub has an input-mask topic with quite a few alternatives https://github.com/topics/input-mask Cleave.js is the top starred option Edit: the #2 library, text-mask, doesn’t seem to have the issues with the date field

“Input Masking” is a UX design pattern. The implementation of the date field mask could be better.

And perfectly on iPad 2018... amazing it’s possible to use Mac OS Classic in a browser on an iPad. The touch to mouse translation support is better than on most other apps too.

My sense is that jQuery and early web front-end approaches reflect how designers think. They were created by designers who understood code for other designers who didn’t so that designers could play a role in the web. Sites wanted to be uni

As rgbrenner noted, 1% growth after inflation. For the average salaried American that’s around $1/day increase. Not enough for a gallon of gas or a Starbucks coffee.

Luck can be a big part of it. Most people aren’t aware queueing theory exists. I even meet a lot of people who train Kanban software project management who are excited to learn about the math that is the basis of that method.

The real reason is I thought I had 30 days to return the XR, but it turned out to be 14 and so now I have it :-) The theoretical reason is I trust a phone more if I know it’s direct from Apple. Now that I have the XR + Watch combo, I’m seei
