I heard of this story years ago, and was very dismayed. (There is no date on this website is this something new?) however the last 2 years I've experienced kids being taught to rea…

the page turn animation was probably the main reason i bought the original ipad. it was just so delightful. like some others, i miss the skeuomorphism of the original ios.

agreed, like others I often resort to using notepad to remove all styling then copy/paste again.

facebook basically did nothing to ensure third party apps & developers were not violating its data access and sharing policies. most developers know it has always been pretty easy …

I was previously the administrator of a "patient portal" that was connected to our health record system. we had a hard time getting people interested in using it and signing up. an…

Microsoft and Google both failed with forays into medical records, so I'm skeptical apple will see much success. Most people do not want to manage their own health records, or only…

from the article: “We want to make sure that our products are not just fun, but are good for people,” Mr. Zuckerberg said. “We need to refocus the system.” genuine for me, is makin…

I looked through my newsfeed this week for the first time in several months. I thought the amount of trash posts and videos (which caused me to leave Facebook) had greatly declined…

most of this sounds like good practice for any company that stores large amounts of sensitive data. perhaps the features were used inappropriately, but I would hope Uber can remote…

nice work! I couldn't figure out how to exit the full screen interactive code view. The button to delete a todo and "check" a todo are pretty close together, easy to click the wron…

yea, it says 10.13.2. I can't reproduce it on 10.13.1.

I upgrade an old 2011/2012 MacBook Pro to high Sierra so I could download the latest Xcode. there has been a few times since then that the machine will freeze then show a folder wi…

the cost of new phones has really changed my purchasing behavior. when it was $200-$300 to upgrade with a contract renewal, I tended to get a new phone with every iteration, regard…

this seemed like a bug bounty from the beginning, and the media was disingenuous to spin it like blackmail. if there was no evidence that any data was actually compromised, I'm not…

something I've noticed in my news feed "John Smith likes Wall Street Journal" with the headline and picture from a recent article. It appears in your news feed like John Smith rece…

the pricing seems high for this service. $30 for a computer generated logo. $990 for a professionally designed logo. I'm pretty sure you can get a computer generated logo for free …

from what I've heard, .Net Standard 2 should be stable for a while and should fix the random missing stuff that was present in the various versions of .net standard 1.x

"The .NET Standard is a formal specification of .NET APIs that are intended to be available on all .NET implementations." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-stand…

.Net Standard is the standard. There is only 1 standard. .Net Core is one implementation of the standard. .Net 4.6 is another implementation of the standard. Mono, Xamarin, Univers…

"incentivize app devs". as an early adopter I felt abandoned. I was all in on windows mobile around v7 and windows8. bought the flagship lumia phone and surface rt tablet. invested…

i'd be surprised if this scheme was actually successful. its very difficult to relay signs from the dugout to the batter in the few seconds between when the sign is given and when …

I hope this is not the case. I love the elegant simplicity of the home button. this part of the original iphone launch is one of my favorites: "And on the front, there’s only one b…

i haven't used asana in a couple years. I just signed up for a new account, and it seemed pretty snappy. I might give it a try again.

"MVPs are too M and almost never V" yes, viable is the hard part. just like "loveable" will be the hard part of SLC. next month's article. "SLCs make me SC(sick)"

I do this with so many libraries now. especially in the react-native ecosystem. I just prefer node style callbacks, so I wrap libraries with promise based APIs with callback based …
