It isn't a myth. I've seen examples of recently created Cordova apps that feel like broken web pages, not real mobile applications. I suppose it would be possible to make one that isn't bad, but that seems like more effort th

> Cordova It's usually pretty easy to tell Cordova apps from native apps. The quality is wildly different and they tend to "feel" wrong, even to users who aren't super technical. I would never recommend that route unl

True, it has something like that (which works to varying levels of success depending on the project). The excuse for not fixing weird syntax oddities like this though is breaking source compatibility, which my point was tooling should solve

When I bought Autopilot I asked about taking it to another Tesla if I bought one, and was told it belonged to the car. Meaning when I sell the vehicle I assumed I could advertise that I was selling Autopilot with it. Tesla is 100% in the wr

I agree that it feels like the language maintainers are backed into corners and cannot correct old mistakes. Which feels strange coming from Apple. Google showed up to use this with Go, write a tool that updates the code from version "

It's fake news pretending to be real news. All social media platforms should do a better job blocking disinformation like this. That said, all they need to do is delete the fake news Twitter asked them to, yet they won't. Why?

I don't find it strange actually, it's what I expect out of the current crop of conservatives in the US. It's frightening but it is where we are.

Not really, only iOS 14 allows the user to select a different browser as the default - and it does so in some severely limiting ways: - It isn't actually that browser rendering anything, it's Safari under the covers (though Chrome

Isn't the same true of Safari? It seems most of the complaints leveled at Google around Android are as bad in the Apple ecosystem.

This will do the opposite though I think - most of the "antitrust" arguments targeting Facebook seem to be upset that this type of content is being removed / Facebook (and YouTube, Twitter) have too much power in what we see&

Those are good points but I agree with the other commenter that these are just difficulties with asynchronous programming generally. I like that Rx makes reasoning about those issues more straight forward and something you must handle inste

by myko 6y ago
I find Rx to be super clear usually. What problems have you run into? Combine (Apple's Rx framework) is pretty understandable/usable as well.

For folks developing for Apple platforms an open source SwiftUI would mean we could ship bug fixes to users who have not updated their OS.

by myko 6y ago
SwiftUI being closed source is a huge issue for developers. Apple behaves as if every user is immediately on the latest version but the reality is the _lucky_ developers support one major version back. SwiftUI is broken in completely differ

Apple's entire approach to gaming is broken. I tried to play various games on my iPad Pro and AppleTV recently and just getting a controller to work is a shitshow. Half the games that work with controllers have weird moments where you

That doesn't make sense. The apps can be made available outside of the play s tore. There's no state level censorship here.

I think they go a bit more advanced than that - IIRC they use their own networking stack. But yeah the rendering / JS interpreter is all Safari.

That's Google Glass, an entirely different product. The glasses that are being discontinued / refunded are from a startup "North" which Google recently purchased.

I'm a big fan of Stadia but really can't argue against this thought process. It would be nice if Google had some way of marking products that were potentially going to be cancelled vs those that have passed the threshold and will
