I'm not claiming it's illegal. I'm just arguing that this is a new and serious security concern. You write: > This technology isn’t being used to break into phones at surprise checkpoints, it’s being used to search phones

Come on now, there are literally thousands and thousands of thoroughly documented cases of law enforcement and government agencies violating the law . The Israel == Guantanamo thing doesn't exactly make sense to me either, but now you

In my own experience as a software developer, it is incontrovertibly true that the smaller the unit I/we use to break things down, the more accurate the resultant time estimate becomes. However, as padobson notes, there's an overh

Fuck Getty Images, indeed. But thanks for sharing that awesome story!

That's the first time I've ever heard somebody use "bing" as a verb, outside of a Microsoft ad. (Assuming that your post isn't a new form of Microsoft ad, that is.)

I am talking about the feature whereby any app that can print can print directly to Evernote, as a PDF. This feature is very useful, though web clipper and the Sharing extension offer workarounds for some applications. Screenshot: https:&#

But they probably wouldn't . That's the whole advantage of building up a business reputation over years (part of which is blog posts like these; another part of which is just not doing shit like that.) As a potential customer,

Ugh, sorry, my bad; this one, I misstated. I meant that Evernote (App Store version) isn't allowed to have the "Save PDF to Evernote" feature. That feature is very useful, though; it can save anything, from any app that can p

Yep, that's what I meant: Apple's stance is, We can't let veidr override sandbox limitations, because then his dad might get pwned . That's true, as far as it goes. My view is, maybe you make the dialog to do that scary

I agree, it's terrible. As a user, I often go to pains to avoid getting the App Store version of an app, if an alternative exists, because those apps are crippled to such a degree that they aren't worth using. If I'm using th

I am really interested in this, and certainly have done the equivalent thing locally, at times in my career, by just cramming 2-3 developers in front of the same monitor and maybe swapping the keyboard back and forth as we work on something

Well he does briefly mention the three best-known frameworks for server-side Swift (Vapor, Kitura, and Perfect) in the middle of the piece, when he talks about middleware. But I think the thrust of this piece is eschewing currently-availa

Yes, and there has been for a while now. However, (as you might already know, since you chose the NSURLSession example), it's not 100% feature-complete when compared to the macOS or iOS version. Here's one example of where you hav

You can, of course, do this yourself with separate accounts for each service, as long as the services are actually different and can be used separately. For instance, I have a Google account for using Google (the search product), but a sepa
