You can have a comment above the constant explaining the math of how it was calculated.

I think this is probably somewhat already the case due to smartphones. Younger generations that grew up with a smartphone as their first computing device have a lot less tech literacy than old generations that started with a desktop compute

I think this makes no sense, as web development is not the same as mobile app development. I always thought fullstack meant front end and backend, not front end across multiple platforms.

Companies already steal the user’s data, Google is a big leader in this behavior.

Working here in Germany, I switched to part time at 75% (5 x 6 hours). Not having to grind another two hours per day is totally worth the pay decrease. Time is the most valuable resource we have.

How do you vote with your wallet when you can only do Apple software development on Apple hardware?

There’s still no USB-A support, so the dongle book was never truly fixed.

> Thanks to a low barrier to entry, the average developer now is much lower quality than the average 20 years ago. I think this is a big reason why we have lots of poorly performing JavaScript based software.

I think it is perfectly valid to be able to develop iOS apps on Windows or Linux. Android studio runs on both these platforms. There is no reason to restrict it other than Apple wants to sell more hardware. Every developer and CI machine ha

With the exception of the iPhone, the rest of the hardware is around 20%, same amount as the services.

They exploit tax loopholes and pay less tax than the average worker.

Socialism has never been fully realized, as under communism the surplus and means of production were controlled by the state, not the workers. It was state capitalism.

Do users have a right to express themselves on a private platform? Private platforms aren’t a public forum. Instead if the company was bought by big tech then shutdown some time later, is this also a free speech violation, as users are depr

Having worked with the file provider API, it’s not ideal. It will automatically prune downloaded files and you have no control over it. One Drive had to do a hack of storing the files you want to always keep in a different location and then

The last two bigger American tech companies I have worked for in the last decade basically had no dedicated QA testers. They expected developers, designers, and product managers to test features before releasing them. What a joke. This is a

> I prefer allowing the wealthy to spend their own money, as it is more compassionate, less extreme, less dramatic, and doesn’t involve state intervention. Pretty sure the wealthiest people in the world didn’t get there by being a nice p

The steam deck is a step in this direction. Apple could easily do this with the iPhone and have it switch to macOS when docked, but obliviously won’t because they want to sell you two devices.

I actually think having the device become unusable, if not under the user’s control, is terrible from an environmental stand point, as the device is useless and has to be scraped. It would be much better if instead of locking everyone out o

I created custom shortcuts for actually turning off Bluetooth and Wifi, and use those exclusively instead of the dark pattern buttons in control center. You can also turn them off in Settings. Also anytime a macOS or iOS update is applied,

I think 90s desktop UIs are probably the peek of usability. Once the UI trends went flat and minimal, usability has taken a huge hit. I’d agree with the quote, every big UI rework has been controversial, see Windows Vista, Windows 8, and iO

I think the consumer electronics industry will need to be heavily regulated to move away from consumable electronics before we see any meaningful change. Electronics will need to be open so both the hardware and software can be repaired and

I don’t think so. These companies have locked users in so they can’t easily use an alternative. Want to abandon iPhones, now you are stuck in the spyware/privacy nightmare of Google and other Android OEMs. Only option is to switch to a

I think they mean the actual dark ages, as big tech has effectively created feudalism where users are trapped on their platforms/software/hardware generating profits for these companies. Much like serfs stuck farming for their lor

You can use AppKit in Swift just like you can use UIKit on iOS. There is no requirement to use SwiftUI when creating a macOS swift app.
