I expect test for a unit. Honestly don’t know what your problem is.

What kind of a nonsense reason is this. If they actually did the work it'd be just as good as any other locale they do support. Why can Microsoft and Google offer excellent localization virtually everywhere, and Apple can't? Apple

Analyzing the contribution of particular individuals gives us no insight here. Sure, iOS7 definitely happened because Forstal was fired and Ive put in charge. But Ive didn't personally design any of iOS7, he was guiding others. Apple j

Is it that confusing that units of code are subject to change, hence subject to regressions, hence their tests are used to prevent regression? 1. Unit testing is a kind of functional testing. On a unit. 2. And regression testing is rerunnin

Counting .lproj files tells you nothing. I technically have a keyboard layout for my country (although it supports no autocomplete or swipe). No translated UI, no dictation, no Siri, no nothing. But I'm sure that keyboard layout gets m

It's really odd sometimes how much they focus on disability features, while also completely ignoring localization in entire countries.

Unit testing is "what" you test, it's your scope. And regression testing is "why" you're testing, you running tests to detect regressions.

Unit test and regression test are not in conflict.

It's for regression testing.

Apple may be the best example, but to me iOS7 remains a huge shift to shocking mediocrity they're still recovering from. They're good, but they used to be better. Alas.

Unfortunately that explanation is too simplistic. You laugh while you mock someone and they're disturbed by that. We also have many cases of gangs beating up random people while laughing. We have phrases like "laughing at you&quot

Think carefully if you care how someone stole the data. Or you care more about how likely it is to steal the data. I can argue that penalizing companies for being blackmailed in fact encourages less cooperation with authorities, which encou

In toddlers and in very elderly, the sleep-wake cycle can no longer be full 24 hours due to decreased/lower abilities of your body to “buffer” for that amount of time. So a single well defined afternoon sleep can be good. I wouldn’t ca

Penalizing you for being blackmailed doesn’t force cooperation. Because an alternative is paying quietly and not informing the authorities. This is what this model encourages in practice. Less cooperation.

You imply as if there's a store where you can go and buy yourself 10 pounds of security for 20 money, and that's that, your data is safe for life. Security is a heuristic based on millions of variables other than a simple price la

This is a bit like the question how to have a system that promotes honest, smart politicians. As you might guess, nobody has figured that out yet. Ultimately the only way is an omniscient, omnipresent CEO who does all the important stuff al

You say this as if a disgruntled employee can't compromise the security of literally any system at all. Remember Snowden didn't hack the CIA. He just worked there. And has a user/pass.

So a hacker has your data, and demands money. The government's proposal: 1. If you pay the hacker, we want money because you paid a hacker. 2. If you don't pay the hacker, we want money because you leaked your users' data. Th
