If you want to position an @2x view (1 pt = 2 px) you need to use fractional points. A view at (0, 0.5) in points is (0, 1) in pixels. Resolution Independence was a separate concept.

I could easily see sending in a bad patch to see what happens and then waiting a few years to do more and write them up; there's no realistic way to guarantee when the bad-faith contributions started.

SPM has a lot of issues, though. For example: if you depend on a static library, it will both statically link it _and_ embed the binary; likewise, a static library dependency in a framework will cause build failures ~70% of the time when cl

That is how it works now. That is not how it worked in the past, and presumably that is what they are referring to. I have many memories of jumping into an Uber Black in SF (before UberX existed) and saying cross-streets. It took a while in

Sonic resells me AT&T and their best suggestion, since they cannot file issues with AT&T (what?), was to post on their forums and hope the Sonic CEO sees it and acts on it. Does seem like they have noticed enough to start escalating

I do not believe they distributed the GM build of Xcode to anybody early. This is the first time they've ever pulled "also tomorrow it's out" -- they usually give 1 week to get app submissions in. I also believe that, ri

Even if zero app changes are required, you must still: 1. Download, extract, and run the new version of Xcode. Note: you cannot upload builds for production App Store with pre-GM builds. You _must_ use the GM or production Xcode. It's

Apple's refusal to support XPC and the ability for apps to launch secondary processes is the real underlying issue here. Being able to separate out execution and process permissions from the main app solves a ton of third-party SDK iss

You need to be extremely technical to understand the difference between "Encryption: Yes" and not end-to-end encrypted. To the lay user, Apple is explicitly telling you that they're encrypted. See https://support.a

It's not the case that they would need to give up encrypted notifications. Developers can support end-to-end encrypted notifications by creating a UNNotificationServiceExtension[1]. This is an extension which receives and can mutate th

They do have hardware failures. I bought a new 13" and started having issues about 2 months in with repeating and dropped keys. Apple store did a straight exchange given how new it was, thankfully.

There's no driver position, though. It could be the left or the right side. Perhaps for drive-thru reasons people would prefer the left, but there's not a lot of required left-handedness when you're not driving.

The biggest reason is that you cannot write `var someVariable: SomeGenericType<Type>` nor use it as a parameter or a return in a protocol, for example. For another type to reference a generic type, it would either have to be generic i

I like my subscription. My biggest issue has been shipments that end up in my mailbox melted. It would probably not be possible for new packaging to fix this, but this would be an area of improvement worth higher cost.

Those are the newer libraries you're _suppose_ to use, rather than OpenSSL. It's mostly older applications and codebases that limit Apple. I could imagine a stop-point but Apple obsesses a lot about not breaking backwards compatib
