An alternative to Zulip is Twist - https://twistapp.com . (I'm not affiliated with them at all; just a fan.) They have a proper native (as in not Electron-based) Mac OS X app (prob…

And a toy light bar whose brightness and duration cannot be controlled (which sucks precious battery life) and is an insult to the "Pro" name. Are there any serious options availab…

I see you have nearly 30 different third-party frameworks in your iOS app, some of which are purely for user-tracking and analytics purposes. Furthermore, it looks like you’re usin…

“... a stupid political game he didn’t even realize he was playing.” Bullshit! He’s smart enough to work at Google but didn’t realize he was playing a stupid game? I am glad that h…

Atlassian have become (probably always were) a horrible, customer-hostile company. This is terrible.

Honestly, they’ve been pulling the same crap on the Mac version, too. It’s like they purposely went about crippling their own app and making it worse in every way. Every version th…

I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 11 years. Needless to say, I got out five years ago the first chance I got. If you’re not into winter sports, the weather is shit. You get 10 mo…

Getting device serial numbers through private APIs and transferring this information to their servers isn’t “extremely minor.” Any other lesser-known developer would’ve been reject…

Objective-C isn’t deprecated at all. There is more chance of current valid Swift code being deprecated in a year than Objective-C. In fact, all Swift code written in its first two …

Somewhat related: In 2010 I implemented a UIView subclass for a simple stylized spinner. In the view controller that contained this spinner, I added two methods to start and stop t…

... for now. Once the news cycle ends, Comcast will be one of the first companies to sell this information and make tons of money. Verizon is already there[1]. [1]: https://www.eng…

I have zero power now but have the potential to have it. If I don't know how to behave like a decent human around my female coworkers and peers right now, I would have no idea how …

I honestly wonder how people here would react if a blog posts like this came out about a company that hasn’t necessarily been in the news for this many past bad behavior. Would we …

We should teach our sons to truly respect women. We should teach our sons to be respectful honest decent human beings. We should teach our sons to not be assholes who think they ar…

“Fake news” is an oxymoron. I think you mean “propaganda.”

This is unfortunate as I thought an iOS 10-only update was supposed to fix this. Goes to show that the Pinner developer doesn’t care about providing any support.

Sorry, I don’t. ReadKit on OS X is decent (and is the only native Mac app that I could find that actually integrates the Pinboard API) but I don’t know of anything else on other pl…

Unfortunately there are no good iOS apps for it. The only decent one, Pinner, decided, inexplicably, to drop iOS 9 support as soon as iOS 10 was released. iOS 9 is still fully supp…

This is absolutely not a solution if you have tinnitus or a hearing damage or both. Also this is an insane workaround. Think about what you’re suggesting: the environment that you’…

I believe they’re located in Mountain View. The only way I was able to find this was to look at their Terms of Service, however, so it might not be accurate.

Yes, this is exactly why headphones are not an option. No headphone I’ve ever tried is completely able to block outside noise. Some do a decent job but then my tinnitus kicks in an…

I’m wondering if there are any tech companies in the Bay Area that offer private offices to individual non-executive-level employees. I find that I am extremely unproductive in ope…

They’ve been fixing this issue with every release of Xcode and it’s still broken. At some point we must realize that code-signing is something that the Xcode team will never be abl…

Even that is not true any more. A few recent examples: - iPhone 6s/6s+ are heavier & thicker than iPhone 6. They have worse, especially low-light, cameras compared to iPhone 6 and …

Seems to be a hardware restriction. According to the PS4 Pro: The Ultimate FAQ[1]: "No, PS4 Pro’s internal Blu-ray drive does not support the new Ultra 4K Blu-ray Disc format." So,…
