Yep, my "docking station" at work consists of a USB3 hub that I plug in to my laptop. Took me a week before I learned that I need to plug in the Logitech wireless USB thinger directly in to my laptop. Plugging it into the hub made

Doesn't your body produce even less if you supplement, leading to problems if you quit?

Wow, that's crazy. The iOS Messages app is native. I'm only familiar with iOS development... is AppKit that bad?

Ehhh, we voted with our money that we trusted Apple. Their hardware design has been quality until the new keyboard. This ignores whether you want more ports or faster processors, of course.

When people are taking your latest model into your store to figure out wtf is going wrong with it, in much greater numbers than the previous model, you've created a broken design.

There are other visual solutions: show the app switcher, or go to the home screen and return when the modal is dismissed. I agree apps can fake some things, but it's not an unsolvable problem.

Well. If you just want to confirm the order you should be calling methods, you should be able to figure out how to use any of those APIs based on Swift examples. If anything, Swift examples are more necessary because there's tricky thi

I obviously know what I'm doing, the IDE isn't going to write the code itself. But if I can "write" an 80 character line of code by pressing around 10 keys, I think that's pretty useful. If I can write a method, a c

I'm not so concerned about "yearly debt" anymore. Swift 2->3 was baaaad, but Swift 3->4 was painless. I don't expect it will be worse next year.

I work for a company that writes iOS apps, large and small. When Swift 2 came out, any new projects we started were in Swift. We still maintain several large and small ObjC apps. If I had my way while were planning out a "big" app

There are people on Twitter saying ARM64 is available on opensource.apple.com but I can't seem to find it. This guy works on Foundation: https://twitter.com/Catfish_Man/status/913983607777116160

This seems like a decent place to ask: What is the most legit and safe method for creating a wallet and just buying a bit of Bitcoin? I wouldn't mind being able to drop a couple hundred on it and seeing where it goes, but it's har

Anyone who does even a little research knows flash storage prices are going up. And anyone who pays attention to Apple knows that they have a target margin on their hardware (non-cable, non-accessory), and it's immovable. They will not

Since you brought him up, Liss gets on my nerves because not only does he insist that something works fine for him, but he goes on extended rants about how everything is fine and he can't see what Arment/Siracusa are talking about

I mean, enjoy your FB-free life, but I tweaked my settings a bit, and I only ever get a notification if someone likes my posts/comments, which is all I care about. If I open the app after not having posted something in a day or two, it

And to take this further, outside of jr. high/high school, this ignoring is unintentional. I'm 5'7" which makes me tall among the shorts, but the number of times I've felt like I had to jump, to make sure other guys

Before the GM leak, we had no idea how the status bar and face recognition would operate. Now we know all of it. Unless Apple has other hardware in the pipeline or another hardware feature for the TV or Watch, there will be no surprises. I&

The best hypothesis is that they removed the headphone jack when they didn't need to, so people would lose their minds in 2016. Notice how there's still space for the jack in the 7. So in 2017, when they actually need to remove th

Facebook is just dumb fun for me, a time waster when I'm waiting in line, and I like seeing the pics my friends put up. Some of my friends are pretty good at aggregating funny memes. Am I not a programmer now?

Considering Android apps make 15% of the money iOS apps make, perhaps it is for the best to only target devices that happen to be owned by people who spend money.

Perhaps more forward-looking, they could move away from the Java stack. That'd be a massive undertaking with potentially no payoff, but I dream.

For whatever reason, my site (Hollywood/Academy/4430) disappeared from Geocities before the mass archival happened. I certainly didn't delete it. I search for it once a year, hope springs eternal.

I did read it, where did he outline the failures of the existing diversity program that wasn't also a lie? For instance, a lowered standard for interviews isn't a thing.

You can say "the diversity program is harmful and should be stopped" without advancing gender stereotypes (which is what the guy did in his memo). All you need to do is back up that "it's harmful" with evidence. It&

Waiting for more non-white non-male applicants, and actively hunting for non-white non-male applicants, does not imply or necessitate a lowered standard. It means that applying is no longer first-come, first-serve.
