rad, I needed a new homepage...

Edit: re-reading my comment, it does sound a bit sarcastic. I want to make it clear, I actually did set this to my homepage! :-)

It uses Siri, which needs the internet to work. So any Siri command will require the internet. You can still adjust the volume with the physical controls on the phone, and switch tracks with the on screen controls.

Not defending the AirPods, mind you.

damn this is impressive, regardless of age! I'm 31 and I sure as shit couldn't do this!

Blue. saved you a click.

One weird trick to get people to click links.

An extreme example of a dev abandoning an app would be the Monster Hunter app by Capcom. Back when iOS 9 dropped, it introduced a bug where Monster Hunter just wouldn't launch at all. Unfortunately, I can't find an archived version of their release notes (the only one thats been archived is from 2014 [0]), but Capcom basically said "This app does not, and will never work, on iOS 9". Under Apples old rules, this was cool. No worries. But under the new rules, this app would be removed immediately.

I don't think apps should be removed for having non-retina assets, or not supporting 4.7" or 5.5" displays. But if the app truly doesn't work anymore, and hasn't for a while, then I would consider that being abandoned. Even then, Apple will be working with devs to try and get the issues sorted

>"We are implementing an ongoing process of evaluating apps for these issues, notifying their developers, and removing problematic and abandoned apps from the App Store. " (from the email sent to developers)

> We don't use FizzBuzz or anything like it when we screen potential new hires at PromptWorks, and I've never actually been asked to implement it.

welp

>90% of the world lives outside the United States

the photos of them in that article are pretty ridiculous

i guess the original title "running Rm -rf/ runs Rm -rf/" wasn't catchy enough.

here we go again

Not to sound like a jerk, but do you really think a recruiter is going to bother reading an FAQ about you before they contact you?

What result do you want? They're either going to contact you anyways, or not contact you at all. If you want no contact, then just reply with a picture of a kitten or something. If you want contact, then you might have to put up with the occasional inane question.

Pff, I didn't even _want_ those grapes.

>Swift 3.0 is not source compatible with Swift 2.2 as it introduces source-breaking changes

tee hee oh Apple, you scallywags!

That video is the most painful thing I've ever seen in my life.

Let me be clear when I say that. It was literally the most painful thing I've ever seen.

When I was young, I stepped on a nail so long that it poked through my foot. I was scared and in shock, so I slowly pulled the nail out of my foot. Blood squirted everywhere and I passed out. I couldn't walk for weeks. Even today I walk with a limp.

That was nothing compared to watching this video.

then he is my new hero, whoever he is.

this looks alright

like anything, best way to learn is just to hack on something. Follow the tutorial, then break it. Mess with control dragging between VC's to setup different segues. Try passing data between VC's using segues. Then try loading a VC from a storyboard in code (hint: use instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier).

when i was learning to program, i used to think of ways to maximise my knowledge acquisition. one of those ways was toying with lucid dreaming - allowing me 6 or so extra hours every night to hone my skills.

turns out my subconscious isn't the greatest compiler, and i was too busy winning the world series or saving the president to worry about unrecognised selectors and off-by-one errors.

its been getting very quick lately, most of my submissions lately have been less than 4 days. But I can't confirm the 1 day review time yet.

The quickest I've ever had was about 8 hours, but that was an expedited review.

I wrote production code in swift. Oh god, the shame!

Why?

So truth time: i have no idea what the 21 bitcoin computer does. Does it mine bitcoin? Or is it just a computer which runs the bitcoin wallet?

Why is it any different to me running a bitcoin wallet on my computer now?

this article was originally from a gawker site. keep that in mind when reading.

I am obsessed with big clive, mostly with his teardowns of very dangerous and dodgy electronics.

i hate to admit it, but you're right, its much easier now. i am on about 7 "teams" and Xcode handles it really well - provided i only ever use the one machine.
