I assume he'll publish the details after Apple has fixed it.

Not in terms of UI, no. If you write your non-UI code in shared libraries that are PCL or .NET Standard and have your web-server use them too, Xamarin enables that scenario, but doesn't really bring anything else to the table for a we

Well, sharing business logic can reduce # of bugs and keep behavior consistent between platforms. That being said, actually shipping the same code on both platforms has its own costs and considerations.

I don't feel that "stalled" this is correct at all. They had a massive feature update via 1.5 in Oct. and 1.6 entered customer beta in May. They just haven't shipped your preferred feature.

2 Billion ? I'm ignorant on the topic, but maybe the route they are investigating is potentially cheaper?

This was fun to look at from a novelty perspective as a native application developer. Q: Should Rust be considered a noteworthy web backend development option, or is there just not much community activity for that?

I'm hopeful about this -- it looks like it fits my personal use cases anyway. I've used several location sharing apps to share my location with family during commutes & road trips -- and all of them suffer from various feature

This is a very valid critique in terms of graphic design. (For anyone confused by the mention of graphic design: it's all about communicating information through visuals.)

Agreed. It might be nice if Apple extended their "Do you want to continue allowing XYZ to use Location Services" prompt to other permissions, provided it wasn't too aggressive.

It's partially Facebook doing it right, but not exactly noteworthy. iOS devs can proactively request permissions whenever, and tell you whatever useless reason they want, but that usually gets users to tap "Don't Allow"

Just want confirm that while eachro's response here may sound flippant, I feel it's actually the plain truth and good advice.

Talk to your legal counsel first, before doing anything. Especially before making a blog post about it.

I'm curious to see comparisons on a 64bit ARM cpu, since that's what Apple likely optimized it for. (I don't expect a huge difference, but I'm admittedly ignorant on this topic.)

Google Maps is routing me down these 1-lane residential roads, too, and I'd generally rather it didn't. These 1-lane roads are already a headache for those living there, with cars parked on both sides, making dealing with ANY traf

Yeah, I think a more meaningful critique here would be "Google should draw more visual attention to certain dangerous permissions like these, over less impactful ones." Also, it's easy for users to click buttons and go "

Glad to find that this talk included current, good practices for Core Data and not just a "it's very complicated so you should use Realm instead" style of talk. (In fact, the speaker isn't affiliated with Realm and doesn

In addition to letter shape, the letter colors (in relation to each other) also change the perceived whitespace. So, in my opinion, it should be kerned differently than her proposal, and Google's version looks better to me. But, fran

Dwarf Fortress is definitely one of those cases. I was (kind of) surprised it didn't make the list. Beyond it being an ongoing epic masterpiece of a single man (with contributions from his brother), what's particularly amazing abo

I didn't realize Acorn was a solo act. I ignored since I bought Pixelmator first, but now I have to go buy Acorn to support the guy just out of respect.

My first thought in reading that as well. We all know how great security by obscurity works for computers! That being said, I don't mean to trivialize the problem/task.

Yay, your explanation makes perfect sense to me! This part: "...relative to Earth, my brain and my instruments are running slower due to time dilation" helped a lot with clarity and now it's intuitive for me as well. The link

I agree, if only because I want adoption of that new connector type to spread quickly. But given that it only has one USB port, I'm not surprised that Microsoft chose not to ship something that would basically require an adapter. I ima
