I think the parent comment is trying to say that the article did not provide any valid counter arguments.

My guess is they're using Linux in their datacenters and want to be able to write programs for them in Swift. That, or they figured that's where all the "Open Source" action is going to be/an "Open Source"

This. I'm SUPER excited to have a Swift backend for a web app, and/or I've been toying around with the core logic of another app. Either idea doesn't need anything in the way of GUI, just the standard library and maybe a

Thanks for sharing. My wife is a big photography enthusiast, and I think we may have both applied to work for Photojojo in the past. :) Anyway, I wanted to say that I am incredibly impressed by this. It's not every day that I hear the

I'll agree with you with the caveat that "just a nervous breakdown" might be a little dismissive. Does he need a sabbatical? Absolutely. It sounds like after one-too-many classes of willfully unteachable students (as in stude

I will add that any such website should probably wait until AFTER the court case is concluded. I don't know that it is dangerous to expound on an issue you're testifying about, but it SEEMS dangerous in that it would open the door

Exactly. That was the crux of Arment's "regret" of his article. It wasn't that he was critical of Apple, it was that he said it in such a way that the tech press in general was able to quote him on stupid "hit piece

I'm confused, could you elaborate? I thought the way it worked is: - User buys game on 3DS, links to their Nintendo account, can play on 3DS, iOS, and Android. Nintendo gets $10. - User buys game on iOS, links to their Nintendo account

The LGPL also imposes restrictions on the finished product, including (but not limited to) requiring the right to reverse-engineer the product so that a modified library can be incorporated.

No, just $3 for the Android purchases. Since it was made on another platform, Apple doesn't get a cut.

by oddevan 12y ago
If all purchases are kept track of on Nintendo's server, then Apple only gets $3 on purchases through an iOS device. Purchases elsewhere (Nintendo's website, Android app, etc) wouldn't be subject, but the tradeoff is Nintendo

Normally I'd agree with you, except if ANYONE could stand up to Apple's "strong arm" tactics, it'd be freaking Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

According to the email sent out to subscribers, the talks began when Amazon discontinued their payment service. Subbable asked Patreon what they were using, Patreon said "let's talk deal."

It doesn't, but if I GPL my own iOS code, NO ONE will want to use it in an actual shipping iOS app of any significance. The GPL requires the resulting binary to be free of DRM, and the iOS App Store automatically and uniformly applies

by oddevan 12y ago
For the record, I agree with you. I will personally avoid applying the GPL to my code, either by my own decision or because of code I am using, mostly because I want the freedom, both for myself and for those who might use my code, to relea
