    Was wondering the same thing, and downloaded the source to experiment. I’m on Mac. What do you think it would take?

    EXACTLY. I called them out on this bullshit the other day, and they tried to sell me a “small business” commercial license or something. FORK YOU, Qt Company!

    That’s the whole point of tabs. How is this an argument against them?

    I just had the maintenance of an Android app dumped in my lap, and I’m dreading it. I have a decent amount of experience with iOS development and have been pretty impressed. But ev…

    You’re not the business owner who just had his reputation stolen.

    Not accurate. The AOPA typically takes positions that protect public safety, such as opposing Trump’s attempted giveaway of our ATC to the airlines. However, the GA industry should…

    Way more than that these days. There’s only one supplier of 100LL, and even they don’t want to be in the business anymore.

    The point wasn’t that the address is exposed by Apple; it’s that E-mail addresses are widely exposed by USERS, out of necessity.

    Love how some cowardly Apple apologists modded this down with no excuse. Pathetic.

    Let's start with the fact that Apple is forcing people to use an E-mail address as a user ID. That's just straight-up stupid. How many members of the public think that they have to…

    WTF is a "zero-day?"

    This is always the argument against tabs, but it makes no sense. So what? If you don’t like your tab width, CHANGE IT. That’s a huge win over spaces, where indentation is hard-code…

    Yep. I have yet to hear a coherent argument against tabs. It’s such a tiresome squabble.

    Flexgate is still a real, profound, and disgraceful defect. This is the one where your MacBook Pro’s screen stops working because Apple ran a ribbon cable through a hinge or some s…

    Radar’s asinine search functionality also obscures the seriousness of bugs by failing to reveal dupes. It doesn’t (or at least didn’t) default to searching for all words used in th…

    Thunderbird sucks because, last time I checked, it had no way to copy or propagate filters between machines. Deal-breaker right there. I’d be happy to hear that was fixed. Meanwhil…

    Yeah, because I need "strong encryption" for my family chat. Up yours, Zoom. First you installed unauthorized web servers on people's computers, then you transmitted our data to Fa…

    They seem similar from the very, very small amount of Kotlin I’ve seen. Why do you prefer it over Swift? Also I wasn’t referring specifically to Android, where I realize Kotlin is …

    It does make sense. Flash was used to create a whole generation of shitty, animated UI. I wonder how many millions of man-hours were wasted waiting for pointless animations to fini…

    I'm curious: Why would you use Blender for this? I consider it a 3-D modeling tool, not a video editor. Then again, I just started using it. So far I'm pleasantly surprised at its …

    Can you cite some examples where UI animations aren't counterproductive, annoying, amateur-hour crap? Swiping screens away to convey a stacked hierarchy is useful, but beyond that …

    I wish Google would stop farting out new languages every few months and focus on Kotlin. If they don't want to commit to any of them, they should throw in the towel, adopt Swift, a…

    That's interesting. I am an iOS developer, and find development for browser deployment to be a mountain of hokey crap and flavor-of-the-week frameworks all so you can kind of cajol…
