The only Cocoa API that has been deprecated in recent years is drawers. Apple is not going to suddenly rewrite their entire desktop apps and utilities in UIKit/Marzipan anytime soon (if ever - hell, they won't even rewrite them in

You take this one "flaw" in your view and explode it into a major usability limitation that makes the whole software useless. If this was the case the platform would not be growing and developing as quickly as it is. So maybe it i

Don't buy a Mac then. It's not like they're forcing you.

Notarization is free and in my experience it can take as little as 60 seconds for it to complete. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizin...

Completely pointless non-actionable advice. "Help! My compact got stuck in the snow" "Buy a 4x4 and replace the wheels with tracks, that will get you going anywhere"

The fact I, or most people, can't tell whether this is a sarcastic comment or not says a lot about the state of the software industry at the moment...

I see several ways they could compete. For example, when I lived in Barcelona I had 300Mbps fiber to premise for about €55/m. It was excellent, but every month or so they'd do routine maintenance and I'd be without internet f

They're gorgeous though. Because they're so low circulation, when you do get to see one they look brand-new. My father got one from a currency exchange this year and when he mentioned that I had to take a picture of it: https:&#x

Why not? The software is effectively working as malware. I should be revoked. And when they approve it again, they should issue a new certificate, to make sure the old software never gets past GateKeeper again.

Why is everyone assuming this is about Chinese??? CN is the class prefix for the Contacts.framework library, like every other Apple API. For example: CoreLocation: CL (CLLocation) SpriteKit: SK (SKScene) CloudKit: CK (CKRecord) CoreVideo: C

Yes but the TGV is all based on 70s technology. The more modern trains (such as Siemens Velaro, Alstom AGV, Bomardier ETR 1000) are all multiple-units. One notable exception is the Bombardier/Talgo 350 (known in Spain as "the Duck

Really cool! I feel this is the kind of project I have no use for, but would love doing just for the sake of assembling computer parts together haha

This reminds me of this project I saw on twitter a while ago where a small arduino with a motion sensor would play the Seinfeld bass riff every time someone entered a room.

Let's hope this debacle will finally convince Boeing it can't keep reusing the same airframe - with small adjustments - for half a century. Edit: Don't forget the 737 airframe was already a modified 727 airframe... Also, I wo

Maybe if everything you use is a web-app that makes sense, but I avoid that like the plague. Maybe in the wonderful world of Silicon Valley you can rely on that, but in the real world internet connectivity can be choppy, especially when ins

The long standard for lots of software is to have a blank "file.conf.example" file (with only the variable names but blank values) which you commit to git, and have the code look for a file named "file.conf" which you ex

There is no lens. This was done using eight radio telescopes (or arrays) around the globe to create a "virtual" radio telescope which is effectively the size of the earth. After that the data of the individual telescopes was proce

What you describe in your point number 3 is not for apps, but for kexts (Kernel Extensions). Upon installation they won't run by default, but the user is allowed to go to System Preferences > Security and give it permission to run.

My personal 2c is that it is a lot about perception and awareness. You need to be aware a certain thing exists and how it works before you can aspire to do it. I'm sure you've met people in the past that had jobs you didn't e

I keep all my development projects in ~/Workspace. Everything else goes in either iCloud Documents (if they're important documents) or in ~/Documents if they're not. (I got the 200GB iCloud subscription btw). I use ~&#x2

For many devs it is still a dream to work in SV, regardless of the company. They'll do whatever they're asked to as long as they keep living there.
