Transporting a listed programmer out of the country violates our arms export treaty. My all-time favorite.

Why did the CEO want a photo with you?

FYI, I've just released 1.0.1 in the AppStore, which won't show the resource forks in the file browser anymore!

Sorry for making you feel alienated. It’s just a snarky tagline, that’s all. You can have Spotify and Decoupled installed side by side.

Hmm, I guess accessing files from Dropbox is not too hard in itself. You can already do that in a somewhat roundabout way by choosing “Open in...” in the Dropbox app and then selecting “Copy to Decoupled”. Indexing and keeping track of all

Actually Decoupled wasn’t the original name of the app, but when the .app TLD was opened, that original name was already taken. So I had to come up with a new name for the release.

That's called a resource fork: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_fork Those files contain out-of-band metadata for the given file. Now, for file systems that don't natively support resource forks (read:

True. The company I worked for the shortest time in my life had a similar culture. There was basically no interaction between employees other than trying to one-up each other with tricky math puzzles and obscure details of the C++ specifica

Your last point makes me very sad.

I always wanted to have something like this for math proofs. Like, when you’re reading a complicated derivation, where the author glosses over the details, you could click on the given step and see why it’s true. Then repeat it arbitrarily

Meh. I'm way past that unfortunately. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmm, is it possible to edit post titles? :/

Thanks, but I'm not planning to monetize it. If it gains adoption in its niche, that's enough for me.

Around a year ago I've became tired of not being able to play FLAC or Opus on my iPhone, so I've checked third-party apps in the AppStore which supported these formats. Sadly, all of them looked very unpolished, so I've decid

Radio buttons and checkboxes are complex to create? What? Am I missing something here?

But C is very unsafe ! /s

Sure, you can have toys like Swift Playgrounds in the AppStore, but real application development takes more than just Xcode. E.g. you need a shell and various command line tools, like otool, lipo, nm.

iOS won’t ever be a development platform. That would necessitate bringing down the AppStore walled garden, which would be a very stupid move from Apple.

Let them downvote. I’d be downvoting left and right too, if those pesky EU bureaucrats had ruined my moneymaking scamvertising scheme.

“Within hours” You mean “within the 2 years probation period + a few hours”

This sounds extremely dangerous. Millions of dollars are wasted each year on mistyped ==/= operators, but this is some next level evil.
