About prehkugler

Grew up on C++; now I'm doing mobile development. Trying to forget everything I know about MUMPS.

    The file revision history is - to the best of my knowledge - an OS X API that applications have to use (opt in). I don't think it comes "for free" with an OS upgrade, unless you me…

    Just yesterday, my colleagues were describing having Stockholm syndrome with Java. Went something like: "It's really easy to make fun of, but the more you use it, the more you star…

    Not included in the poll is MUMPS. I had a job right out of college that required me to write all of my code in it. It was pretty much the worst thing ever.

    As I've already gone to WWDC, would there be any benefit to going?

    I agree. The phrases consistently end in a way that is never completely resolved. See: "In less than three weeks you can be looking at things differently, more creatively, if you" …

    This seems like a possible win for Apple, and I hope they implement it. I just wanted to point out that OSX to iOS AirDrop is not as trivial as many people make it sound. There are…

    They don't know anything about it. But a lot of new APIs were made available to developers that will make great apps easier to make. I think that's better for users than a new OS t…

    It's important to ask yourself what you would do if you could AirDrop from your iOS device to an OS X device. Even though under the covers iOS and OS X work on files, iOS is sandbo…

    I think it's prudent to note that Apple made specific guarantees of fingerprint privacy; however such explicit guarantees haven't been made for passcode privacy.

    It's iOS 7 for text! Seriously though, it would be interesting to see this as a feature in new e-readers. I have a feeling that if the e-ink could support it, the effect could be b…

    For a minute, I thought you were trying to make a joke about how KitKats are meant to be broken apart.
