This should be re-titled. It is inaccurate. It implies that some notable percentage of MacOS/iOS is published. Nothing of the sort is true. They publish a tiny minority of those systems that they are forced to due to the licenses of co

My JSON parser ( github.com/nanoscopic/ujsonin ) has these things: 0. Looks essentially the same as JSON 1. Core data types, and customizable data types can be added easily. 2. Arrays, Objects, and arbitrary nesting. 3. Comments (

While Apple is very restrictive and controlling, they aren't as controlling as many imply about running your own/custom apps on phones. You can sign up for a free developer account and sign apps onto your iDevices for free. ( 3-ap

I'd like to know this as well. My guess is that you may have to install it on your device before it gets dropped from the Apple store. Definitely have a cloud backup of your device enabled in case you need to ever reset your device so

Alright. This is a fair point. I go way out of my way to discourage underage visitors to the erotica website I run, and I do agree that there is tremendous sensitivity in the current era towards the notion of anything sexual involving child

The actual article title is "How Would the Publishing World Respond to Lolita Today?" The title here is a small bit from the article. Unless the submitter here is the author I don't think it's appropriate to link this ar

Efficiently wielding weapons is not terribly difficult. It just takes practice. My parents bought a number of guns and became quite proficient at firing them accurately within 2 years. I have many relatives and friends who are amazing at sk

Obligatory self promotion: https://github.com/nanoscopic/mtsc It is a tool I created myself for figuring out the contents of layered docker images. It does these things: 1. Compares two docker images to see exact file

"JSON" parser author here. I don't believe in the spec at all, because as pointed out in the article, the spec is not precise enough. The spec also puts undue burden on the parser. The spec should absolutely say whether the f

What motivation would Google have to pay any attention to this request? The only one I can imagine is that Google wants to get some positive PR out of it. Other than that it seems to me like Google will just ignore this as they ignore anyth

I agree that adding error checking at every possible error location and then passing up those errors is tedious, but it is a direct result of Golang essentially being a "modern C". In the case you describe it sounds like it was pa

Those features are interesting but I fail to see how the headline is nothing more than misleading. I opened the link expecting to read about some legitimate issue with iOS 14. The entire article is about one updated app on iOS 14, the healt

The example in this article is horrible. The author will not accept bug reports without payment for "support". I'd posit that no reasonable open source project has such a position. Sure, without payment there may not be any e

I used to work for Suse. During my time there MicroOS was broadly considered to be a joke and abandonware by my coworkers. I worked on the very team developing their k8s solution ( the entire team of which was fired due to the recent acquis

Open source is profitable in two ways: 1. If the work is ultimately for a company you are working for fulltime and getting paid from the start. This is the case with IOS support for DeviceFarmer. I work fulltime for T-Mobile. I am thankful

I'm not an Apple user. The reason I've spent the last year and a half developing an open source solution to support Apple devices is because it is a challenge and is profitable. I view myself as a sort of technological mercenary.

If you manage to get anyone from Apple to speak with you send them my way also. I am the author of IOS support for DeviceFarmer ( previously OpenSTF ). Part of that support involves getting video of the screen over the USB connection which

Please release my rewrite / serialization library for Apache Avro. I wrote it in 3 different languages for Amazon when I worked there, and went through all sorts of discussions to have them release it, and they refused for no meaningfu

Amazon has very high internal costs and they also reinvest a lot of the money that is made into the company itself. The best way to view their "not paying tax" is from that perspective. If you have a business, and you make no &quo

Guess who started the union-interest mailing group when working at Amazon HQ. Guess who is banned from ever working at Amazon again.

I wrote a long response to this. Hacker news then presented me with a message "Your comment was too long". Short version: Think what you will. My story serves as a warning to anyone who thinks you can survive the Amazon hell. I ma

I can chime in that a lot of this rings true for me. I was also an SDE-II ( started as one ). I also was loaned out to other teams. I also suffered the idiocy of being locked into 2 years of work or get saddled with a huge amount of money t

I agree with this to the extent that "open source your library" means "publish it on Github". Adding it into a package management system, be it one for a language or one for a Linux distro, is implying some level of stab

The docs page doesn't show any list of features and doesn't seem to show any visual examples. It doesn't entice me in any way to try out the editor. Why would I want to use Xi editor? I'm unclear.

Is the Debian "we will not hide problems" a wide German thing? I noticed the same sort of behavior described in this article while working for SUSE. At SUSE there was a meeting held ( in Germany ) where everyone from SUSE was enco

I'm convinced based on reading through this article. Thank you for posting it. Things I like especially about it: It is written very logically and admits clearly to being speculation based on what information exists. The information is

It's illegal. Also, sex tends to be more enjoyable when you can enjoy it regularly with the same partner ( hence marriage ). Therefore, yes, it is unhealthy. Move along.

Summary of the article: You need an apple developer account to use the feature. Those cost $100 / euros per year. This was a really anticlimactic reason. There are a lot of things you can do with a developer account. They are essential
