NEDM64··on Apple’s announcement on artificial intelligence is a big shift for the company
Except that nobody pays for Google services.

Previous versions already did that.

According to Google/Android fanboys circle jerk, yes.
NEDM64··on Apple File System
If Apple bought every single company that people say that "Apple should buy X", it would be no company left on Earth besides Apple.
NEDM64··on OS X DNS cache reset script
No.

And it still works for me on macOS 10.12.

So I see absolutely no point here.

NEDM64··on Coming changes to Apple's App Store
Ignorant comment, I bet you already use Android. Apple gives 14 DAYS of refund policy, and Google just copied Apple model.

Have fun with your LG.

NEDM64··on Coming changes to Apple's App Store
Apple has 14 days.

The only difference is that Google makes it easy for people to abuse the system.

Are you punished because what?

Do you really think people like subscriptions?

People prefer to pay $50 for a 64GB micro SD card in a store, than $1/mo for 50GB cloud storage.

Offering your app for a one time fee is an advantage for the developer.

But there, you were lucky to have an open source and free project to help you out.

Because without it, you could be 100% sure the developers won't be updating them.

Now, lots of games from the late 90's, early 2000's don't work anymore on modern Windows versions. And DOSbox isn't powerful enough to run them.

What you do now?

NEDM64··on Coming changes to Apple's App Store
Because resolutions change, for example. And it's the truth of most single player games.

Apple is not forcing anyone to adopt this model, and most people won't be comfortable with a subscription based game anyway.

However, for MMO's, subscriptions make sense.

NEDM64··on Coming changes to Apple's App Store
There's already a place for those cancellations: the home screen. Delete the App, and subscription goes away.

There aren't many Apps that can save you $1000 a year because there is no money to make them, because people aren't buying $100 software packages on the AppStore.

It's a chicken and egg problem.

Yes, the company that succeeds in the WWW is the company that has a monopoly in it.

Medicine, for example, they have to tell what's inside the bottle.

The first AppStore was even older, it was made for NeXTSTEP, Steve Jobs bought the whole thing.
NEDM64··on How “Silicon Valley” Nails Silicon Valley
Monica is just there for the happy ending.

Pretty sure it was product placement.

Facebook is not a CRUD application.

Facebook is a graph theory application.

NEDM64··on Ex-Mozilla team behind smart home hub Sense refunds backers, focuses on software
iTunes was "getting nowhere"?
NEDM64··on Google is bringing new ad types to AMP
That is the point
NEDM64··on I finally finished this awesome game called Photoshop, let me send you a video
Not really, it captures not video image, but data sent to Quartz. When you play it back, it plays perfectly.
NEDM64··on An unofficial WWDC app for OS X
Now, if only Apple or Microsoft added the opportunity to compile and run Cocoa or WPF Apps on competitor platforms, that would be great.

Apple could do this very well, it makes sense from a business perspective, and from a technical perspective, it shouldn't be hard.

NEDM64··on Scalable Live Video Streaming Using NGINX and MPEG-DASH/HLS
But how? I've searched the documentation.
NEDM64··on Facebook disabling messaging in its mobile web app to push people to Messenger
Their main product is the Facebook feed. And they seem to give people what they want.

Too bad that what people want is to just turn off their brain.

NEDM64··on Intel knows it's no longer inside
You can't say that, because there aren't 45W and more ARM chips to compare with Intels...
NEDM64··on Scalable Live Video Streaming Using NGINX and MPEG-DASH/HLS
But I don't have a subtitles file. I would need it to read from a stream, not a static file.
NEDM64··on Harvey OS – A Fresh Take on Plan 9
Because it's an applications language, and not a systems language, Java uses garbage collection, which has unpredictable performance, while Swift doesn't.
NEDM64··on Scalable Live Video Streaming Using NGINX and MPEG-DASH/HLS
Is there a way to mux subtitles written on the fly?

For example, I want to mux a subtitle stream, with the real time clock in it, into a video stream.

NEDM64··on Music World Bands Together Against YouTube, Seeking Change to Law
If they don't do, people will upload the full albums and people will listen to those copies. So better put there their songs.

Also, YouTube is a monopoly. It's the Microsoft Windows of online media distribution. Developers cannot afford to not release their software for Windows, now imagine if Microsoft decided to build an AppStore like iOS where they decided unilaterally the price of software and their cut, and it were dirty cheap! Damned if you didn't develop for Windows, damned if you did.
