There's more to shitty app behavior than just hardware-dependent data like location, and some of the enforcement can't really be done in software. Especially when it comes to workarounds/exploiting private APIs. Right now App

I generally agree with the rule and the reasoning given for it. But I think the worry about the "Fake" suffix here is missing a crucial point. This is test code. In test code, the "business" at hand is exercising the pro

While it wasn't as big a smash commercially as the iPod, the Bondi Blue bubble iMac was Jobs' first big new product after his return, several years before the iPod.

Yeah, you're not really wrong, and I'm only an amateur SCOTUS watcher anyways. I just find the contortions of that sentence, and especially the fact that Scalia, the arch-originalist, wrote it, wryly amusing.

Well, there is this hilarious statement by SCOTUS (an opinion penned by Scalia): > Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves subst

It you want to see more amazing, Ricky Jay could do this while keeping up a stream of amusing patter and making his hand motions seem almost casual. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eonlrksCsw8

What are you arguing against? Where are you seeing anyone defend xenophobic immigration policies in the posts you are replying to?

You've misread something here. They didn't say it was inherently abusive, they said they hate seeing people abused because of it.

There is indeed an app, Duet Display Pro, that will relay Apple Pencil input to your Mac. I've only used it for its second screen functionality; no idea how well the pencil part works.

Federal judiciary can be maddening unwilling to hold executive security apparatus to account. I'm reminded of the NSA surveillance lawsuit, that was shrugged away with the same "lack of standing". And the same question linger

Thanks; I found that and still couldn't figure it out, but I'll take another look at some point.

Have you used the Python interop? I went looking to try it a few months ago and it was MIA as far as I could tell. It seems to be exclusively baked into Tensorflow's fork of the compiler. I would love a pointer if I missed something!

> I forget if stability was introduced in 4.x or 5.x, but code written today should be fine... They've always provided source compatibility modes in new releases of the compiler so you can delay making syntax changes to an existing

You can copy-paste styled text, images, and other kinds of non-plaintext data, so it couldn't be implemented quite that simply.

Apple does indeed have rules they enforce about this. Anecdotally, I see quite a bit of chatter/questions about App Store review rejections due to the wording or lack of billing copy, compared to other reasons.

As a data point, Mac OS native text controls have a handful of Emacs-style text commands that use Control -- like ^t, ^e, ^h, ^b, ... -- baked in.

There's certainly no reason to use reference equality. In fact, I think equality is the wrong question: it should duplicate the match . `case (x, y, x)` should `__match__((a, b, c))` IFF `a.__match__(c)` (Not sure if that's exact

One difference I noticed from Elixir was this: > While matching against each case clause, a name may be bound at most once, having two name patterns with coinciding names is an error. match data: case [x, x]: # Error! ...

In my experience this is partly because Homebrew has steadily moved to a "knows better than you" stance and every time you ask it to do one thing, it goes off and does a bunch of other things first. MacPorts is well worth a spin i

Absolutely true :) I'm sure this had some effect in convincing the eager ones to turn around.

I was on a day hike up a mountain several years back with a group of friends and acquaintances. Some of the folks had really been wanting to get to the top of this particular mountain -- it's known for its views. It was late spring,
