I think your point is valid. However, I am wondering what is the alternative? Other paid apps developers will make their apps free and charge subscription fee instead to avoid paying any Apple tax.

I am not sure what is Apple's strategy here. Twitter is used by their own users and barely anything has changed content wise in last month. It was always a cesspoll. Slap an age restriction and move on. What they can do is to make usin

I might be wrong, but it feels like this will negatively affect their other products in the long term. Brand reputation goes both ways. Of course, in KPI spreadsheets Apple TV will bring more revenue and that's what counts. Slower grow

In my experience, companies who chose Scala did enjoy a competitive advantage. Almost no bugs in production and predictable velocity. No more "not sure what this will break". In Scala projects I worked I almost never encountered a

In my opinion, Rust is what Scala would be if ownership was flagship feature and everything was built around that. Certain combinations just don't match. Let's take an example of Scala. Great language for most business domain prob

Depends on what we are replacing. From what I have encountered: Akka was mostly used as Http server (akka-http). There is Http4s which can replace that and I think is great. Also its easy to use it with tagless final or zio's IO. Actor

I wonder if this is mainly aimed at Java Akka use. In my humble opinion, Akka is becoming less relevant in Scala community. I don't see new projects picking it up as there are better alternatives.

I am not sure that's a good idea. Now phones are rarely stolen. I would not like to come back to time when you get mugged for your phone. (1st hand experience)

My guess would be that they are working on it. At their scale, it is hard to imagine them having technical difficulties removing SEO garbage from results. It also could be that search quality is no longer their sought after metric, but I fi

Having business invariants be part of system design. It makes sure that system prevent invalid states by design. An incredible multiplier in both productivity and complexity management further down the road.

Its important to note that Putin has support of his own people. There are polls, anecdata and articles [1] like this to grasp his own people view. It seems that vast majority of working class support him [2]. Data might be wrong so I am ope

I love the idea and love your implementation. However, from the perspective of Ukraine, Russia cannot be trusted. This is due broken security assurances made less than 30 years ago [1]. Actually, If I were to speculate, I am not sure any ot

I cannot relate to the article. If I cut files and do nothing - they are not deleted from the origin. If I cut text - texts are versioned and backed up with git or similar alternative. Even if I would lose something, it wouldn't take t

I am not talking about incarceration, just simple policing. Not letting homeless build tents or sleep at entrances of business or buildings is a good start. Making sure people feel safe should be no. 1 priority of any government.
