The author started off saying how less than 1% of Dropbox users use two-factor authentication. What good is such a scheme when nobody is going to use it?

That doesn't make it very appealing for app developers, though, if the size of their base is dramatically limited to just people with both the latest and the greatest devices.

I'm not sure if that's truly normal and if it is, it shouldn't be. My first and only pair of Bluetooth headsets are the Beats X. I chose them because, unlike the AirPods, they stay in my ear and the ease of switching between

From my own experience and reading that of others, it's the device that no one can justify until they get one. Then it becomes the device that the vast majority love and some can't live without.

When you get a notification saying you've increased your daily move goal streak to 200+ days, you're tempted to not break it. There are already quite a few people I've seen hitting 800 days.

Licensing was THE reason Apple didn't update their GCC version in Xcode and switched over to Clang/LLVM. IANAL and my history is a bit hazy but the things that Apple wanted to support and the way they wanted to go about doing it

My uncle repairs appliances. A couple of factors that he's encountered in his years of experience: 1. Energy star compliance. Many of the pumps now use far less power but are more prone to burnout. Keeping a fridge door accidentally op

Are you insinuating that they can't do both? They're certainly working on the things that you're asking for. Maybe not at the pace and direction that you personally want but they're not stagnating, either. They've a

I'm not sure you actually read the article you linked. The focus is on delayed purchasing of cars, not an outright lack of ownership. There's no way I'll ever be using a rental service when I have to constantly worry about ha

Apple's API don't discriminate with regards to precision. An app that shows nearby stores with a 1km radius precision requires the same level of permissions as an app that's trying to do 1m precision.

My 2 thoughts on the subject: 1. To an extent, it's a solution that can't be fully cross platform. Accessing messaging APIs is very limited on iOS and most apps that support a customer support feature really just use a single comp

Unfortunately, the rise of frameworks has led to another, often ignored problem: app startup time. Carthage and CocoaPods, while great tools, became enablers and I'm hoping static library support will be announced this WWDC.

So Google is going to be picking winners and losers here? In some instances, the ad company in question may behave better than Google (The Deck was one before they folded). In a worse case scenario this could lead to anti-competitive behavi

I'm genuinely curious how that would even work on the technical level. As an app developer, I'm not making the connection here as to how iOS would even allow that. Edit: Read up a bit more on it. Turns out it was the practice of f

I'm not sure Craig meant to say that. Tim Cook has stated he's not crazy about VR but thought there were quite a few applications with AR. Perhaps that's what he really meant?

Do you know what a proposal is, by definition? Such things tend to go through a number of web standard committees and are often changed throughout the process. It's not like Apple can directly dictate web standards and expect everyone

Not every GPU vendor or all the cards of a vendor support Vulkan. Even new ones being sold today. The adoption is broad but not complete for Windows. I guess the argument can be made that vendors ought to support it but that would vastly ex

Then, as a business you: A) Buy a newer app that does what you need it to do. B) Pay for software support or C) Develop your own version Hinging one's business on software who's future isn't so certain is a potentially stupid

I largely agree with you. The challenges with this largely fall on the business side. I've once worked at a place where a customer agreement was structured in such a way that tied up our development and QA resources for resolving issue

Not everyone uses USB ports on a regular basis (can't recall the last time my wife did on her Pro) and even fewer people would use more than one. So I'm inclined to think including even one USB-A port would significantly impact ad

That's the price of progress and this dropping support of older technology sooner than everyone else has been part of Apple's MO forever. The day 3rd parties will stop making older parts/accessories is the day they're no

Actually, never. Most of my work is in Xcode, though I do some Android Studio, PyCharm, and, if I have to, command-line gdb. As a developer working on a Mac for almost 10 years, I genuinely can't recall the last time I ever used a func
