Sadly, they don't even know what's better for themselves any more.

It is amazing that while Americans are trusted to hold guns, they can't be trusted to run apps. Isn't pulling triggers much more dangerous than clicking on OK buttons?

You can ignore AppStore policies and guidelines, they keep reinventing new interpretations. The one true rule is hand over our cuts.

"To remove untrusted applications from U.S. mobile app stores." What is trusted?

It's silly to judge a man died 153 years ago using contemporary values. Walden is one of the few books I read so many times that I lost count.

Still not clear if this is a special deal for hey or for all developers as well.

The timestamps, interesting...

Are people starting to buy in the "Reader" concept now? It's laughable. Next, you will need to define what kinds of "Write" are acceptable in "Reader" apps. Is payment a certain form of "Write" or not?

Best analogy ever known.

IAP price must be same as advertised elsewhere.

What if their profit margin is only 30%?

This may not happen if Spotify didn't speak up. https://timetoplayfair.com/

4 spaces allows you to have manual line wrapping, for example: if (a < b || b < c || ... || d < e || ... ) Do something.

In fact, I try to go even narrower, because almost every time my editor ends up with at least 3 columns. By the way, indentation with more than 4 spaces wide is why you get long lines. Don't do it.

I always used classic in XP, that said, anything not win10 is welcome.

I recently had some fun writing arm64 assembly. My experience is that hand written assembly is faster if you apply the same cheats that the compiler uses. 3 things to keep in mind: 1) Make use of the registers; 2) Avoid branches; 3) Get familiar with the instruction set and make good use of them.

This. You should avoid memory access and branch like plague.

It may as well be called 2000.css, at least I won't be able to tell the difference.

I only buy books I know I will read more than once.

>from more than 1.7M lines to 360,000.

At first look, I thought it is 36k, that would be truly great.

It is interesting to see Switzerland becoming a technology hub in the post blockchain era.

Not surprised. You can't even visit HN from China without using VPN. I guess there must be some pressure not revealed in the announcement.

Bold undertaking even for someone as distinguished as John Carmack. I can't help thinking that this is too broad a goal and requires more theoretical work than engineering. Maybe making some self-replicating robots that can mate and give offsprings would be less ambitious (perhaps I am underestimating as well).

A prefix of URL hash more or less gives away the site you are visiting, given a large enough database. And in China, an IP address can be tracked down to a person, given that most sim cards can be identified due to regulation.

This does not require developer membership at least for the moment. That being said, it's worrying that Apple is becoming the single point of failure in Mac App Distribution. Windows allows your binary to be signed by third party CA.

All this happens because he tried to make his friend look less bad, in a situation that most people will try to keep a good distance.

Things we take for granted today wouldn't exist without this man. To name just one thing, gcc. Yet people are more eager to punish him for what he said than to praise him for what he did.

I don't think his games look that bad as he claimed. Not eye candy, but functional enough. All the time and resources saved from polishing the graphics, he must have spent on improving the game playing. Sounds like a good trade off.

If Correlium just provides the VM and the researchers download iOS releases directly from apple servers, is it still illegal?

A good example of poor naming. Explained:

Your younger cousin sister, either from one of your mother's brothers and sisters, or from one of your father's sisters.

Or two characters in Chinese: 表妹(BiaoMei). If she is from one of your father's brothers, she's your 堂妹(TangMei). The latter is regarded as being closer because you share the same family name, but nowadays it just doesn't matter any more.

Some of the other commenters think it's 表姐. No matter who is right, you see, the long name bears no clear meaning even for Chinese.

It's a currency, but I don't see how it is crypto. No mining, centralized control by a few validators. Old wine in new bottles.
