    I checked it out a while back. It still requires you to write two different UIs in two different frameworks: SwiftUI or Appkit on Mac, and WinUI on Windows. It's just that now you …

    I may be misreading it, but I believe the third option the EU is expects from Meta is non-targeted advertising.

    The article is missing a lot of context. The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) has gone into this in great detail on their podcast, and slightly less detail on their blog. In su…

    You're not missing anything, it's just that > Google doesn’t know or care about who’s using it at that point is incorrect. Google Drive uses OAuth. Users don't register API keys, a…

    If you read the article, they went through the casa audit, found that it did not improve the security of their app, and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth the time and now mone…

    > if Google supports this, and if it doesn’t then I agree they should drop the support altogether Last time I used it, the file picker was by file, not folder, and was fairly janky…

    iggldiggl makes some good points about APIs not being flexible enough, but I also have to ask why go through the complexities of extra APIs? If I'm installing an editor and using i…

    > With the S3 API, you usually create one or multiple buckets per app – perhaps even one bucket per user. Your app manages those buckets, so it’s natural that it has access to the …

    > How so? (I agree that the readonly category doesn’t work for iA, but drive.file should be fine IMO.) Arguably, I'm not as familiar with iA as I should be, having only tried it br…

    Strong disagree. Part of my disagreement comes from the fact that the process is inconsistent and time-consuming from Google's end. If you read more of the article, you can get a g…

    As someone who has worked on large projects in both Swift and Rust, I have to disagree with the author about error handling. It's not perfect, but Rust's use of Result and syntacti…

    There's a nugget of truth that Oregon's decriminalization drew people to the state. However, free access to treatment centers wasn't part of that. Badlucklottery is correct that Or…

    AI artwork can definitely be more a distraction than a benefit for an article, especially if it's an image that you would never accept from a human artist. For me personally, I ten…

    While I freely admit I am frightened by the possible impacts of this ruling, I do not believe that it has, in this case, impaired my ability to look at the situation logically. Tha…

    Possible? It's always absolutely been possible, but I've considered it much less likely than I do after this ruling. As we saw during the first trump administration, the army was u…

    Except that impeachment requires acts of Congress. The SC opinion was explicitly clear that the president is immune from prosecution for ever issuing a pardon. So the president cou…

    One benefit of Chevron was the recent banning of non-competes. If you're interested in fostering innovation, banning non-competes is a good idea. [1] The idea that Congress could a…

    I'm a slammer developer in a similar boat, and while I still think the 15% SPP fee is too high, it's not what really bothers me about being in the App Store. It's the Kafkaesque ap…

    Interesting. Most of the time the sentences in your prompts don't even contain a predicate. I tried that with the two examples from before. Mixed results. Still had one comment tel…
