Have you considered this is a good thing? Parents and children are a generation away, there are flights over cultural differences that drive wedges. I'm glad I only see my Fox News…

Programmers have no idea.

Different expertise. I'm guessing you are neither?

I think that missed the point. Engineers are applied scientists. Programmers are not applied scientists.

The primary fear is getting kicked off because Apple said so. The fees might suck, but the concern is spending a year on an app only to be denied or lose it once you gain popularit…

Calling programmers "Engineers" is a misnomer. I wish programmers had the prestige it deserved for combining Science, tradition, authority, and art. Engineers are not allowed to us…

Meanwhile this leaves an opportunity for a different company to provide these services. I do my best to avoid FAANG giants who don't think about me.

Doesn't surprise me Apple chose the laziest solution. Not like their customers care.

Disclaimer, I love Ubuntu server. I hate that Linux philosophy for a daily driver. I remember being age 16, 17,18,19 23,26, and 27 and being told to figure it out. Every time I'm v…

Depends on the program. Also computing power increases with time, so this is a silly reason to kill off a feature.

Ahhhh yes the much better solution of paying Apple 1000$ to compile a JavaScript app and 125$/yr /s

(it was the Apple ecosystem that killed flash)

Security is the major reason. I can imagine spinning up a virtual machine to use legacy flash content.

Yesterday I was asked for my email for a fresh install of Windows 10. This immediately enraged me and I considered Linux. I couldn't help but to consider Apple. But Apple is worse,…

Explains why people repeat Apple's claims of Privacy and Security.

Let's wait a few years. Bloat will kill these companies. It's inevitable.

The fantasy that capitalism would punish businesses for treating employees poorly or people would stop buying low quality products is disappearing. Marketing tricks are the most im…

I've been called a good Engineer. All my companies I started failed. This hits close to home.

I'm only half kidding when I say Apple doesn't consider themselves a US company. They consider them Apple. It's not like they are cooperative like US automakers, and they have done…

After working with graduates from "the best university", I doubt it is "the best". After using "the best" search engine, and finding what I needed on Bing instead, I started doubti…

Just curious, why don't you have a spam email in 2020? I have over 20 email addresses and only use 3 daily/phone notifications. Not defending the practice, but I'm genuinely curiou…

Apple did it 10x worse with their iphone apps and now no one cares anymore.

Microsoft already lost this battle. Google has decided not to fight the battle. Apple has their segment walled in like North Korea. Tesla uses religion to control their followers.

Obtuse? Projecting Let me play you a sad song- There once was a poor minority boy who had bad parents through no fault of their own. They wanted to become a programmer, they got a …
