Agreed, I doubt GitHub will do this but you know what, anyone could start an App Store linked to GitHub (or GitX, or all of them, doesn't matter). This has been tried in the past - Freshmeat, SourceForge, but that was a different era a

Objective-C is verbose not just because of the NS suffixes. Everything is verbose (by today standards anyway). ObjC is a "child" of the 1980's when verbosity was considered a merit and a norm in programming. Two things that I

Agreed but let's also give credit to Apple for trying to innovate. The TouchBar wasn't a bad idea just that it probably wasn't tested thoroughly with all types of users. It more seems like a "I think everyone's goin

Not very knowledgable on the topic, but aren't API gateways like Amazon's and this one essentially vendor lock-in tools? Can you migrate your system across this type of gateways easily when you want to switch your vendor?

At the end of the day it's dynamic vs. static typing. Both have a place under the Sun.

I agree, the inefficiency of advertisement might be the main reason for the surplus we are paying (also let's not forget the platform - the middleman). However: > been unable to prove, in many or most cases, that it actually succeed

On ads: the fundamental problem with them is that most people don't realize that they are paying for digital content and free social services anyway, albeit indirectly, since the ad spendings are included in the prices of consumer prod

Audio is hard, then audio streaming adds anohter layer of complexity. Even a relatively trivial problem of audio feedback hasn't been solved in all software yet - occasionally you hear echoes in some of them (Skype, WhatsApp?), or othe

You can add all kinds of fancy stuff, you can improve the design and usability of the UI's but here's a big important problem waiting to be solved: audio quality and graceful degrading of the quality when needed. At the end of the

It is a an upgrade in some ways, no doubt. When Apple said the 16" MBP has the best ever laptop display they were right - it's hard to go back to the previous models after this one. Something just feels a bit wrong about this ma

Not always. I'm somewhat disappointed with my 2020 16" MBP that I bought after owning a 2015 MBP for 5 years. This one is faster for sure, but also noisier, gets hot often for no good reason (even with the lid closed for the whole

Pro musicians have a big problem with their fingerprints. The scanners often have trouble picking up e.g. a pro pianist's or a guitar player's fingerprints, or even when they do, they'll fail to identify it days or weeks late

It's a habit. Keyboard shortcuts, familiar bugs and glitches, etc are not easy to change.

(Side note: dear Apple, please add syntax coloring and code formatting for Rust to Xcode. You have Fortran and C Shell in the list, but not Rust or Go, which are much more popular!)

The most dreadful thing in this industry to me is this: how many years of experience do you have? 1 2 3 4 5+ That's it. Fin. More than 5 doesn't matter. The truth is that the difference between 30 years and 5 years

Walking absolutely helps and I do that a lot whenever I have a chance i.e. alone, but I'm not sure about talking out loud. In my mind an architectural/software problem is a structural thing, or a puzzle you need to put together me

Great article, a lot of interesting thoughts. Another useful way of thinking of entities we deal with - variables and functions - is their properties. For example, it's one thing if you have 7 references, but things get more complex if

True, but you are free to install only free apps, or no apps, or only your own apps pushed directly onto the phone. In fact you are free to fully operate without iCloud/AppStore (if I'm not mistaken)

> We pay damn much and buy the phone. It is the user's property from then on. Sure, the App Store and its services however are not the user's property.
