Well, that's quite unfortunate for the millions(?) of users whose apps will break today for reasons they won't understand.

Can someone clarify: does this mean all older versions of apps that were dependent on Parse are now orphaned? That is, even if you've released a new version of your app that uses the open source Parse Server, any of your users that hav

I'm amazed by the cognitive dissonance necessary to equate people who are legal permanent residents of the United States with militants who are the targets of military action in ISIS-controlled territory. I also think it's hilario

We rented a 2-person "private office" at a local coworking space in Seattle. Unfortunately we only lasted about a month before giving up and returning to our home office. The problem was, even though they called them "private

iOS developers are also (for better or worse) already used to things breaking every year when a new iOS release rolls around.

What's worse is your purchases don't come with you when you switch stores. This has caused us a lot of problems.

I've found that many "prompted" reviews are generally of low quality and lack detail, and essentially flood the listing with useless information. (Who cares if there are 500 reviews each saying "Good app!", that tel

Ah, that's very interesting. I did not realize that reverting the expired trial version to "view-only" mode was considered within the guidelines. Thanks for the clarification, I may have to consider this model for my own apps

I thought time-limited trials were not permitted in the Mac App Store? How did this get through the review process?

Of course I'm talking about catastrophic coverage: that's when you need insurance the most! (And the worst possible time for them to say "sorry, you're too expensive to treat, so you're on your own now.") Besid

The problem is these days many desktop applications have mobile counterparts and some kind of service to sync the two. If that service shuts down, the application becomes a whole lot less useful. That, and iOS/Android have terrible bac

The difference between going from 2.6 -> 2.7 and 2.7 -> 3 is enormous though.

I don't know. I will probably try to by 2020 once it gets officially EOLed. Until then I have plenty of other work to do.

Tests will tell you something broke, you still have to go through the work of figuring out why and how to fix it.

Like many database-backed apps performance is currently limited by I/O, and memory is limited based on the size of the data sets I load (machine learning). A faster, lower memory Python does sound nice but I'm not sure how much ef

Yes, that is my impression as well. In hindsight, it is unfortunate how much it ended up fracturing the Python ecosystem.

I'm fairly sure I'm handling strings correctly under Python 2. What I'm not sure of is the risk of something breaking if I upgrade to Python 3, especially when it comes to upgrading external dependencies. Even if it's ju

I have a Python 2.7 project that has been running smoothly for many years now and I'm having trouble finding a reason to upgrade to Python 3. The project uses the unicode type to represent all strings, and encodes/decodes as neces

I like Swift but incremental builds are very much broken on Xcode 8 and have been for a while: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/62737 This leads to very long compile times for even simple one line changes.

If you're going to count the employer side of the payroll tax, you have to do so for the US too. Total payroll tax in the US is 15.3% (of which the employee pays half and the employer pays half). So go ahead and double that payroll tax

I think it's better interpreted as comparing effective tax rates, i.e. 27.6% vs 31.9% of gross income. You're right that the salaries not directly comparable for the reasons you listed, but it's also pretty clear that they&#x

As far as I can tell, there's no state income tax in Australia. Not sure about city taxes. I did mention that even if you live in a tax-free state in the US, the tax savings is essentially wiped out by having to pay for your own health

Yeah I did not mean to go so far off topic, just wanted to point out that I think a free market approach to health care will lead to an abusive system due to for-profit entities like insurance companies behaving in ways that are good for it
