dtorres··on Ask HN: How to intentionally throttle CPU on a M1 MacBook?
taskpolicy seems to be the tool https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/taskpolicy.8.html
dtorres··on Secretive – macOS native app to store SSH keys in the Secure Enclave
"engineer" comes from ingenium (mind, talent) in Latin.

Engineer in most latin languages would be a completely different word to Engine (usually Motor)

Thanks, I've added detail and will remember the next time I submit something.
dtorres··on Retina Revolution - smaller images with better quality
Why not just figure out the pixelRatio once and then serve images according to that?

See this gist: https://gist.github.com/3848834

dtorres··on The iPhone 5
So, you are saying that Samsung and Nokia aren't popular enough?

Samsung and Nokia are popular enough and have the resources to back NFC but as of now they haven't done anything besides launching phones with the technology.

NFC today is just a dummy selling point and they know it, because they haven't done anything to make it popular.

dtorres··on iPhone 5 web teardown: How Apple compresses video using JPEG, JSON, and canvas
that is only true for iPhone and iPod touch, you can have inline video on the iPad.
dtorres··on Leaving Github
That title is misleading... I expected blood!

About the post itself: I personally use github as a git host of public code only, other than viewing code (which does a great job at, IMO) and hosting I have no other use for it.

All the other things I do them with the cli.

dtorres··on The curious case of our iOS app (Prey)
It's not a reward for Apple. It's a discount to thank/compensate those who read about the iOS client being available when it wasn't.

The in-app purchases can be managed outside the app so probably this "discount" will be temporary.

Then again, it isn't a bonus because you are an iOS user but the fact that we had a broken promise.

dtorres··on The curious case of our iOS app (Prey)
Prey iOS app dev here,

The app is technically ready to be submitted I'm waiting on some last graphic details that need to be designed yet, so as the post says any day next week we will submit the app which will be diligently tweeted (@preyproject) and hopefully (with Apple's blessing) it will become available on the last days of this month.

In the meantime, you can check what we've been doing here: https://github.com/prey/prey-ios-client. *

*As you may note, it doesn't compile since the project includes the In-App Purchases classes which are private and part of a submodule. Delete those references and you'll be good to hack :)

dtorres··on Show HN: my new site helps iOS devs share, track and promote promo codes
Sounds great, though what I want now that I think about it can be achieved by requiring a like or a tweet, It would be great if you can provide that.

Can you add some screenshots on the metrics we get as devs?

If, and really, if the thief knew how to perform such action he wouldn't be a thief...

There is a lot of open sourced apps in the App Store, so i'm guessing is not.
