Out of curiosity, do you buy software from small devs at all? It seems like, whatever the privacy/security implications may be when buying via Apple, they're worse when dealing with a totally unknown party.

OP here, happy to answer any questions. I know Apple gets a lot of well-deserved flack, but for a small-time dev like me, them taking a 15% cut makes things a lot simpler for me.

If someone would like to arrange a back-alley cash deal, I'm happy to provide a binary on a CD-ROM. But if I'm accepting money over the internet, a third party is necessarily going to be involved, because I'm not a bank and I

Theoretically in the developer's privacy policy. In practice, nowhere.

Nnnnnope. If you opt to purchase it via the Mac App Store, that's between you & Apple—it happens entirely apart from the app.

It's not just "ARM is fast," though—Apple's ARM chips in particular beat the pants off their ARM competitors. (See benchmarks of any iPhone compared to flagship Android devices.) I don't think you should expect simi

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It is absolutely the case that COVID should make us think very hard about how lucky we got this time. There's no reason to think this couldn't have happened with a virus 10 or 100x a

If you'd like a secular guide to experiencing this yourself, for my money, Sam Harris's Waking Up app is the best way to do it. It takes quite awhile to build up the mental toolset to get there, but it's very much worth it.

This strategy has saved our bacon at work more than a handful of times. All the URLs we ship in our apps point to a "lookup" server (just Nginx with a huge list of redirect rules), such that if the URL we were using in the app dis

It’s the only language I’ve used where just going step by step through the official docs was enough to pick up the language. Took me maybe a day and a half.

Obviously people might not like it, but can you summarize the moral arguments against it?

So what I'm taking away from this is that for maximum productivity, you just have to: 1. Not evaluate any alternatives 2. Not read the docs 3. Not check the code 4. Not check the license ;) (Thanks for a great blog post that articulate

I’ve been working on the same medium-size (fewer than 1M LoC) codebase for about 7 years now. I feel like over the years, my estimates of how long something will take have gotten better for one reason: I’ve found the scaling factor I have t

Because someone in your (presumably massive) org had some code somewhere that was parsing the source itself looking for... something. (The story Googlers tell is a program looking for a specific line number in a program’s output.) More on H

This is a great way to put it. It’s a position I end up taking a lot—there are so many situations where no one involved has enough information to justify strong beliefs.

I don’t have a particularly strong opinion here either way, but I think it’s worth pointing out that all medical advice is (or at least should be) sensitive to the broader context of a person’s life. Consider: is it safe to take morphine? I

This is the least charitable interpretation of GP's proposal possible. A small amendment to GP's comment to apply only uniformed officers operating in public—as the D.C. troops from the article are—negates this reductio ad absurdu
