Has there been confirmation at WWDC that this will remain enabled through the final release of iOS8?

Note that near the top of "A Swift Tour" there is a link to the playground which you can download and open in Xcode 6.

> Apple stole this design wholesale from GTK

This has been part of Finder and iTunes since at least 2006, at a point when it wasn't the norm for anything in GNOME2 that I can recall.

I don't think the `dark mode` is in the beta, or if it is I can't seem to find it.

You are not alone but you are probably in the minority.

(quick edit: You saw a lot of Apple news because the WWDC keynote was today)

I don't like it either, but that kind talk that has been around for as long as people have had something to sell.

Reminds me of this enjoyable quote:

> Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded. - Yogi Bera

I believe RadiumOne and Mozilla responded to PR problems, not to the actions of their CEOs.

That is obnoxious as hell.

Yeah, I came across `natpmpc` when I discovered the Airport Express at the office does not support uPNP. Our new Asus N66U supports NAT-PMP so I thought maybe it was more common these days.

FWIW, if you just want to forward a port you can run:

    natpmpc -a 9077 9000 tcp 36000

which will forward 9077 to 9000 for 3600 seconds.

It does bother me that Homebrew advocates using /usr/local, that is a choice that needs justification and I don't believe they offer anything convincing.

That said, you can configure homebrew to use any path (check the wiki), you just have to set other environment variables as needed (eg, PATH). For example I'm currently using /opt/homebrew.

(note: a large downside to this is that you have to compile everything and cannot take advantage of Homebrew's pre-compiled "bottles" for some packages)

`ls -G` will show colors with BSD ls, much like `ls --color' with GNU ls.

I suspect the GNU toolchain would have been ported over at some point.

Note that there is a 'transport' checkbox that we can all enable to see where you've gone over the past year.

I have knowingly tracked my location with Moves for the past year, but it is still very spooky to see all of that information on one map.

Well done though. Now we just need some kind of free/OSS clone of Moves so this is a little less unnerving.

Well, sure, if you think of Jobs as nothing but a slick salesman then you just don't have a very high opinion of the guy in the first place.

> However reading the release, the gender of the injured party seems to be independent and unrelated to the injustices which relate instead to the apparently inappropriate behaviour of TPW's spouse and her unsanctioned involvement in the company.

Reading GitHub's statements on the investigation, it seems the independent investigator they hired found no evidence that sexism at GitHub. The investigator did find issues with TPW's general professional behavior which is why he resigned.

> Sexism is a highly incendiary issue in this community. How did a case which apparently was not about sexism come to be so closely related to it?

I think you answered your own question there.

> Is the report from Github incorrect or was sexism used to market this to the watching population?

That is what we call a false dichotomy. I do not see how you have narrowed it down to those two choices, and it honestly seems like a veiled accusation.

No, you don't have to add a new entry every time, you just set it up and now absolutely.anything.dev points to localhost. When editing /etc/hosts you have to add a line for every hostname.

On a much larger scale there is Ringworld, which incorporated a Dyson Ring, which is a variation on a Dyson Sphere[1], which was apparently inspired by a 1937 novel (according to the Wikipedia link).

Yeah, I purchased Civ V a while ago but I can't bring myself to actually play it. I think I'm too old to lose 4 hours to a game that gives me no real benefit.

(I should not have said "serious problem", I should have said "notable barrier to adoption." That people have made this possible at all is fantastic.)

To me that makes it clear that a minimum size of over 20M is a serious problem.

How crazy would it be if the Twitter app was over 50M, or Facebook Messenger over 80M?

Perhaps you should post a response to keep things from being so one-sided.

I could be mistaken (as I haven't actually researched this), but I don't think there is any way around needing OSX to package for iOS. Even tools like cordova/phonegap hook into a base Xcode project when it comes to compiling and packaging.

Why would it?

edit:

To expand on that a bit, I was under the impression that the Android app ecosystem was far more ad-driven than the iOS app ecosystem. At least it seems as if iOS usually offers a ad-supported free version and an ad-free paid version, where as Android seems to mostly just have the ad-supported free version.

Even if that is not true, there are already ways to get full screen video ads on iOS (I believe Flurry is one), the app developer just has to want to do it. Apple adding this to iAds seems to be irrelevant to the status quo except to make iAds more appealing to users of other ad services.

You missed an opportunity to suggest that full screen video ads would play before the device would allow you to send a text or place a phone call.

> famous enough to merit an article about his departure but not famous enough for Google to give an inch to retain him

I do not work at Google, but I suspect there is a bit more involved in these decisions.
