> Apple was said to be the high priests of user experience

People say that, I always wonder how much of that was true. It took me three days to figure out how to get my iPad Touch to stop repeating a single song. I don't know how a single song got selected on repeat.

> I worked with a developer who would send screenshots of a text error rather than just copy and paste it

I worked with someone who did this too. Would also commonly send screenshots of code we were discussing.

"Dude, I need to see this code in context, can't yous end me a link to the file / line in Github?"

Also, I'd add "Be Healthy"...

While there are some things you can do in your 20s to help you be healthy in your 40s; genetics can be a factor and cause serious issues.

Can I change my mobile browser to use the same user agent?

Isn't it from the linked article?

> I don’t understand why it’s even a part of the acronym.

Because the amount it pays developers. The acronym is used in conversations about high paying tech / programming / IT jobs.

> in your 5 MB angular app

Related anecdote: I just did a production build of the Angular 13 app I'm working on and it was 686K. That includes all the Angular framework, and a component library which includes a data table.

> But the way react deals with state makes it so much easier to build and maintain complex applications.

Real question; not being snippy...

I didn't think React had any state management included. A lot of people I've spoken to seem to use Redux, a third party library for handling state.

Is my understanding incorrect?

It usually takes me years to find a job I want. That is why I'm always looking.

I wouldn't write for that company's blog; unless there was some huge internal incentive to do so.

Very valid point, thank you!

> You hear horror stories about men being falsely accused and getting their lives ruined

While I have heard these stories, they are all anecdotes that I wasn't able to verify. Can you give any real cases?

.xlsx is a Microsoft Excel file. I bet you can open it with Google Docs, LibreOffice, or something similar.

I write books about programming at www.learn-with.com

Right now it is just a bunch of Angular and related stuff; but I Want to expand to React.

I make ~$200 a month, which is pretty good considering how little I put into promotion. I consider the platform my own personal reason for learning / experimenting with new stuff.

2% or less is a lot more common in my experience, irregardless of what inflation is.

Where I live; in northeastern US my assets are taxed. Personal assets such as my home and car are taxed on a yearly basis.

As are business assets, which includes everything from the desk I'm sitting at; the chair I'm sitting on; to the computer I'm using.

Disposable supplies, such as paperclips, are not taxed but once a year I have to fill out paperwork--roughly a 10 page document--to pass onto my local government declaring said assets.

> "relating to the company's business"

The company I work for also has this. The company is a big entertainment conglomerate. I'm unclear what businesses the company is not in; but most of the things I do in my spare time include--songwriting, book publishing, blog writing--could classify as things the company also does.

My `exclusion` clause was over 1 page long and I spent quite a bit of money on a lawyer to put it together.

As I understood, if an tipped employee's salary is below the minimum wage the employer must make up the difference; so the employee would still be making minimum wage.

Like Adobe Animate which is a rebranded Flash Pro that does exactly that?

Speaking as a PMC of Apache Flex, but not as a lawyer...

> If someone makes a from-scratch implementation of Swift, or any other language with similar features, can Apple then sue them over these patents?

Yes, Apple can sue you for making use of their patents w/o a formal license in place!

> Or does AL prevent this?

No! The Apache License protects users who use code from the project in question, but does not allow you to use those patents for other purposes.

To give a parallel example:

I license a photograph of two kids in overalls to put it on a poster and sell it.

That does not give me permission to use that image on playing cards, porcelain dolls, or other avenues.

I'm a huge Blackwell fan. I think they categorize their games as "Urban Fantasy".

Unavowed is sitting in my review queue...

We share different views of the world...

First, Infocom was arguably supplanted by Sierra and other graphical games. They died during an oncoming boom. Sierra's reign [and LucasArts earlier titles] in the late 80's to mid-to-late 90s were very much the golden age of adventure games.

Second, LucasArts went on for about 15 years after they stopped creating / releasing adventure games. Their last Adventure game was Grim Fandango in 1998, and the closed in 2013. I can't see how LucasArts closure is unrelated to boom or bust cycles in adventure games.

Third, there are a huge number of adventure games coming out all the time. It surprises me honestly. While a few companies--like Wadjet Eye Games and Daedalic--seem to be doing okay, the bulk of them close up shop after one or two games. To me--as a lover of these type of games and a reviewer for JustAdventure--The market seems overly saturated for such a niche audience. There is the occasional big event such as the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter, but the community doesn't seem to change size.

This was a sticking spot to a recent negotiation I had. I fought for higher salary, but they added it into bonus.

The file format spec is available:

I know it isn't the same as "Open Sourcing" the Flash Player code, but it is how many programs--Camtasia as one example--have/had an "export to Flash" option.

I have 3 theaters within a 20 minute drive. I might choose one over the other because of movie availability and showtimes.

I disagree. They are saving me a ton of money. To me as a customer, that is a lot of value.

I sure hope that Moviepass and the theaters can figure out a way to make it work.

As a Moviepass subscriber, they create a lot of value for me.

I can go to any movie I want at any local theater. That is a lot better than subscribing to five different plans, one for each theater.
