They have enough money to give building the first ever BFR a shot. If it turns out good and the reusability works, they can do a lot of contracts with it, like servicing ISS, and l…

You sound like a good guy to be around :)

I think what he is trying to say is, that developers will be useless dead weight in this kind of post apocalyptic scenario. Everybody will be out of there normal day jobs, but a lo…

A bit sensational to call a reference to an unknown product that's likely going to be unveiled in 2 days, as well as some minor feature like Animojis, a major leak. This is what su…

OSX is still pretty great. After Snow Leopard, for a while it looked like OSX is gonna turn into "iOS Desktop Edition", starting with Lion. But that never really happened, Sierra i…

Good links, thanks. At WWDC Apple was saying that Chinese, Japanese & Korean localisations for iOS Apps are often overlooked, and their data shows they should be the first ones to …

Its 125 billions, not 1250 billions. Also US deficit is around ~500 bil now (way less then 1250b, but more then 125b)

It's not that bad. The only thing Google/FB/Twitter gets to know is that a user Y is using app X. Nothing more, and not detailed usage stats, just the basic fact. For that they han…

Anyone know if there is a good commonly used Chinese OAuth provider? Or Japanese and Korean for that matter?

I've seen tons of people using iPod touches as dev devices. Much cheaper having multiple iPod touches running older iOS, or iOS betas, then having that many iPhones.

Probably a lot less volume being sold on ultra wide monitor panels. Therefore higher price.

I thought these two were pretty good: “Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.” — Linus Torvalds That's how I al…

That would be absolute madness. Can you imaging Apple pushing a 137MB file to all active iOS devices over cellular? I'm sure the carriers would appreciate :)

I've been using LibGDX for a small little thing, and honestly can't recommend it. I had the app for a few years, and whenever I wanted to update things after a few months, so many …

I wonder if this will have an effect on how kids get into programming. Back when I was a kid we had MS-DOS, my primary motivation was to install and play games, but there was this …

You can always build your own EmuBox, that does the same job and much more. For people who can't do that, I recommend looking into it, there are pre-build options, which require le…

The thing is having your app be 200 MB is not actually a big issue in the real world. So why do space optimization? Time is limited and there's always other things to be worked on.…

yeah very good argument. you never install anything from the command line or what?

So is this just a big page of links? Are AIs writing blog posts now?

Just collected the black coins in 1-1, and some in 1-2. The black coins seem to be what this game really is about, and damn does it a good job with it. Actually amazed at what it d…

Is it? We don't have any conceivable idea on how exactly human modification might work. We like to imaging how we gonna decouple bodies and consciousness, yet we can't even grow or…

So this was about the banning of PizzaGate subreddit, and its understandable that a Reddit-Mob can be a scary thing, and needs to be dealt with somehow. But it feels Reddits modera…

Of course Apple wants to sell MacBooks to developers, and I'm sure a lot of devs will happily buy it. Because many of the flaws and issues, that are notoriously being pointed out o…

I think at this point the mobile hard- and software industry is simply much further developed and it's harder for everyone to innovate, not just for Apple. We can't expect that mag…
