That’s not fair to say. These apps may very well have done one or two things wrong in their code that required Apple to step in. I have a million such mistakes in my code but no one uses them enough to warrant a checkfix. Also these apps ar

I believe the open source Swift versions are not supposed to have any check fixes. They are not the ones that are run on Apple OSes and probably never will be. They’re more meant to help Linux and other non Darwin platforms adapt. Which kin

With the craziness of Js build tools and build configurations, I love seeing how different project stuff use it. I like how they use both webpack and rollup and even name the rollup export as “for-future”. I write a lot of isomorphic librar

I enjoy reading libraries like this because git is seemingly ubiquitous. It’s used more than any project I will ever make. And although I know C and C++, it’s source is kinda hard to approach. Js on the other hand is not for me so I can get

I think they’d like to possibly but there are concerns. I have had trouble with vanity tlds and I can imagine with google being so ubiquitous, there could be so many issues. And also security. I know there’s an implicit trust of .com and so

This is awesome. I was looking for this a few weeks ago and found a library I don’t love. This feels right for Typescript and I’m going to add it to a big project like immediately. Great job to the authors!

I speak Irish pretty well and Duolingo I think is a fantastic tool to get better and learn some new words that I didn't no. (Neither my dad nor I knew portán meant crab). The issue is that pronunciation in Irish is kinda varied but the

I wonder if they had one now, only for cigarettes, how many kids would do it and withstand the social humiliation that exists with teenagers around smoking cigarettes.

They may never release it but no doubt they have it. There are iMacs in Cupertino running macOS on ARM and there are iPads running macOS. During the PPC transition it was pretty obvious that Apple had been building OS X to work on Intel for

I find a lot of great music from Beats 1. That’s a different discovery mechanism that really badly takes some getting used to but I really love it. Curated Playlists in many ways feel over saturated at the moment, and grow stale. (Their des

I’m not a designer but I’ve thought a lot about this just cuz I find it interesting from a data organization POV and I like music. I think Apple deserves some credit in terms of this. Music.app is no iTunes but ask Siri who plays the drums

Personally I don't use it much, but then around the Olympics I checked it out and now use it every single day. It's fantastic.

Yea I really liked your post because of that focus. I use variation all calculus quite a lot for non-programming stuff and it’s really allowed me to understand things like NNs way better and I think so many other programmers could benefit f

There is a bit of masking probably going on with a boat’s flag’s origin. Maritime law is a strange game and thy can get away with a lot of shady stuff if they pick some obscure countries as their “home”

I just don’t see where Samsung is going with this. To me, iPhone and Pixel really beautifully fill the market for as phone of this price range.

As a physicist I really really enjoyed this. Really cool. I have a swift library (using Foundation’s Measurement API) that I use for so much of my calculations and the one really important thing that has helped me solve problems is the typ

While I’d agree with you I’d submit that a lot of the science community has odd feelings about Bill Nye so I can see how that can exacerbate people into writing things like this. Maybe they wouldn’t normally believe that and would agree wit

Born in London and lived there til I was 3 but I’m American and it rated me once as 53% American and another time as 37% American. I know I say a few words differently but not that differently.

I was agreeing with you as I read these replies but then I thought of what would actually happen if Apple Music raised their prices. I think I would stay. All the music and likes/dislikes that it has about me are a pain to move. And al

This is probably going to be focused on lower performance apps but for those talking about video editors it may be important to point out that though the iPad is insanely powerful, it's not as strong at doing long term high performance

I have a pretty good understanding of economics but what makes market and limit alone responsible for a price jump. When matching orders were allowed yesterday didn't the price also jump? Thanks.

Did anyone not expect this? For example, I believe they may add Ripple next so I have made moves into Ripple knowing the price will spike if they add support. What's to prevent Coinbase employees to do the same?

There are 2 parts of the apps. There's model layer and view layer. The model layer is a pain to bring over because certain model objects (UIColor) are only on one platform. So if they make changes to ease that then making a mac app wil

I too have been playing with color quantization as an exercise so I won't like at your library as I've been trying to do it all on my own and don't want to see other approaches yet, but here he is not quantizing them so his i

This is such a good point. Apple Music (and Spotify) are pouring money into people who stay on the beat. To this day this is still very analog (which in many ways is a good thing). But when your Apple or Google or whomever you must see the
