Am I cynical for thinking there would be no punishment or accountability?

I recall this pattern being taught in my first year or two of my computer science degree. Emphasizing only one return statement per function, utilizing a shared return variable. I much preferred (and still greatly prefer in industry) the pa

I appreciate the perspective. > Having said that, most of my music is on MP3s, but the idea that referring to them via some block chain crap will give them "value" is just silly. I think the point here is that verifying ownersh

I agree, but I think that's just a short term effect of people trying to cash in on the hype. Suppose I'm an artist that releases a limited digital run of an album and that NFTs are used to attribute ownership of the digital relea

I've struggled wrapping my ahead around whether this line of thinking has merit or not. I'd argue that everything you listed can be reproduced, almost identically. But there's no value in doing so since it is not the origin

For me, it's information density.

Encountered a similar issue with an app of mine that implemented certificate pinning. Still a large iOS 9 user base using a version of the app which contains a soon expiring list of pinned certificates. Unfortunately likely have to drop sup

Likely option 1. In my experience, App Review will not entertain any sort of "preliminary approval" but you could theoretically submit a less polished version of the app to test the waters.

Issue seems to be resolved, but the the comment on their bug tracker is almost infuriating. “ Earlier today, a code change triggered crashes for some iOS apps using the Facebook SDK. We identified the issue quickly and resolved it. We apolo

My guess in this particular instance is that it seems like the Facebook SDK is fetching some sort of remote serialized configuration, calling “count” on what it expects to be an array, and instead is calling it on NSNull (an object represen

For sure. I am not in a position to determine whether TikTok is looking at clipboard contents for good or evil. I simply wanted to point out that there exist innocent reasons for looking at the clipboard.

I know there are a few apps which will check the clipboard in order to provide functionality to the user. For example, some shipping apps will check the clipboard to see if the user has a copied tracking code and if so, ask the user if they

Seems like this could be a big hit to indie developers and applications that function off of an ad supported model, as CPMs for users that opt out of tracking is a fraction of their tracked counterparts. Looks like Apple wants to guide more

Fentanyl is typically used as a cutting agent. Heroin, xanax, etc are all fairly expensive so if you can cut these drugs with fentanyl to provide a similar experience, then it may be in the dealer's financial interest to do so. From wh

Small anecdote: I always did worse in college with professors or courses that were looked at as “easy” because I was not motivated to put in effort. Courses that were looked at as hard or professors that were rated as tough tended to make m

I run an app with 1m+ DAU. For me, the server tech stack did not matter. What did matter was the ability to iterate quickly and identify bottlenecks. Although it was still critical, the server was not a massive component of the overall busi

I know a local bank that limits password lengths to exactly 7, and the contents of the passwords to ONLY DIGITS. I can't imagine how many users are going to just use their phone number.
