Was this quote removed from the article? I'm no longer able to find it.
Re:iOS 10 Security White Paper [pdf] on Saturday March 25, 2017 @10:55PM (#13958839)
Do you have a source on the "breakable at the nation state level"? Last I heard they've only been able to compromise models before the 6.
Not just their history alone even. Fingerworks' tech was one of the most important IP acquisitions in recent history in my opinion.
Re:What Vizio was doing behind the TV screen on Tuesday February 07, 2017 @09:36AM (#13589600)
Ok. Now get the database of content to match it against and build a program that automatically determines what the user is engaged in.

See this every time. Also on iOS if you have the app open, lock the phone, and then unlock you will be at the home screen. Almost as if the app ran out of memory or crashed in the background.

Side effects of RN?

Purely bragging rights.
Re:I returned my 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar on Tuesday January 10, 2017 @11:40AM (#13366161)
Correct. Anyone that thinks the dev community is abandoning Apple is delusional. Even with this new iteration, the MBP is still the most versatile solution.

If a user was offline, wouldn't they just be using traditional Atom then?

throw r/the_donald in there with them
It's far more polished, the integrations are endless and easy to use, and setting it up for non-technical people is a breeze. Along with its easy availability on mobile.

It's enormously useful to have all your documentation available in a single place. Along with that, the sidebar makes finding relevant methods and properties very easy.
The Mac Pro and MacBook Pro are still very capable, solid, and focused machines. Go into any dev shop on the planet and you will see that's true. The only point your comment is right on is the Pro moniker being attached to an iPad.

Something that would be more effective is if Google began factoring page load speeds in their rankings just like they did for mobile optimization.

Just wanted to say that coderpad is fantastic. :)
Re:iOS at Facebook [pdf] on Friday September 25, 2015 @11:38AM (#10278734)
I think what it means is that as it stands now, there is no definite good/bad way to make successful software. There are just opinions.

Saint Cloud State is in the process of doing this.
Run it through a VM.
So that's where Blizzard's devs went.
