Hmmm, I wonder if, no, it can't be. But I do wonder, sometimes, if you get what you pay for.

> There are places where $1000-1500 covers you for the month, even with non-local, white guy pricing.

This is hilarious. There are places were $300 covers you for the month. I was paying $7 a day rent at a hotel at one stage.

megy··on SwiftUI
What? You develop it using SwiftUI, then you compile it and it will run on whatever you compile it to. So yes, it will run on older OS versions.

> destroy years of good will thats been built up by genuinely building and delivering a high quality app people love.

And how did they do that? By changing where it appears in one search. wow.

> In this example there's also only one supermarket, the Apple app store.

But there is other apps stores. There is Googles, Amazons, even Samsung have one.

megy··on Delisted Overnight: A Cautionary Tale for Indie iOS Developers
No it isn't. They changed the algorithm in which apps appearin search. Should they have to go through every change of app order, contact that dev and explain why?
megy··on How Fragmented Is Android?
> and have to support both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version of your app?

For a developer, there is no difference between a 32-bit and 64-bit.

megy··on How Fragmented Is Android?
I mean, what? You are like a local store with foot traffic complaining about the global internet restrictions. Of course it doesn't affect you.
megy··on How Fragmented Is Android?
Sure. Plenty of people can ignore the cheaper devices. But if you work for a government agency, you may not be able to. Or a bank. Or a utility. Or a telecom provider. Or a 1000 other businesses.

megy··on Stripe’s fifth engineering hub is Remote
If you are going to request to go to remote, then I would suggest making sure your productivity is better or at least not worse.
megy··on Stripe’s fifth engineering hub is Remote
I know, why wouldn't a company pay more. When I go buy something, I always insist on paying double for it. It just makes sense to pay more when you don't have to.
megy··on Stripe’s fifth engineering hub is Remote
There are advantages and disadvantaged to being remote.

One way of getting over isolation is to work in a share office. But even getting out to the library, or a cafe can be good. I used to work in different places, Museums with wifi, art centers, Uni's, almost anywhere.

megy··on Microsoft, currently the most valuable company, is having a Nadellaissance
There is an advantage and a disadvantage to backwards compatibility. Letting people keep using old technology that hampers progress. You have to devote resources to ensuring that it still works, and you have less people using the new stuff.

You say that, but you do not mention in what way?

megy··on Insurers Know How Often American Drivers Touch Their Phones
Put your phone in your glove compartment, or on the back seat.
megy··on Insurers Know How Often American Drivers Touch Their Phones
I disagree. I think every single car should be tracked at all times. They are killing machines, responsible for 40,000 deaths a year in the US directly, more than gun deaths.
megy··on Insurers Know How Often American Drivers Touch Their Phones
If you can't wait, and put away easy to dodge distractions, you should not be driving. For most people, driving is the single most dangerous thing you will do today, with the highest risk of you causing death.

megy··on Phone Addicts Are the New Drunk Drivers
I mean ok. I do this to check (at the urinal) my messages because i don't look at my phone when out with friends.
megy··on Phone Addicts Are the New Drunk Drivers
As a cyclist, I try to keep as much space from a car as I can. A particularly worrying time for me is when I am traveling around the same speed as a car. So many times I have almost been hit, and a few time shit by someone just turning. This is not a problem when you are passing cars or they pass you, because they see you.

But yes, fuck people using their phones while driving. It happens every single day, every third car sometimes.
