Being a bit into the adult industry, I sometimes see some kind of "creative" ways developers/publishers use to push their adult-oriented apps and services into Apple app store for iOS, and this is something that seems to happen quite regularly.For example, just today I saw a commercial on YouTube of an app, which clearly said "1 on 1 chat, have fun, let's do it together, blah blah blah". The ad...

I wonder if there are means to save you from being forced to show your face to iPhone to unlock any of its services if bad guys catch you and tell you to do so?My bank app, messenger apps, photos, browser and many more are Face ID enabled. I know I can turn this off, but I don't see any advise about this case where I can be forced to show my face in front of my iPhone to access my personal...

I have an idea of building a random video chat webapp, similar to omegle, chatroulette, coomeet and so on. I assume it can be used for streaming adult content live, the very same way as what webcam sites do, but in a more informal way - a model on one side, a viewer on the other side, just a private p2p video call. An extra layer is bidirectional donations via crypto. Model and viewer can swap...

Assume I am creating a webapp which can receive money from the users to their "accounts" in my system and send them out, something like a super simplified version of a bank.Are there any guides, practices to make it safe and properly? I see multiple ways of doing the same thing. For example, when a user puts in $10, then $3 then $7, then moves out $4, I can use a table in the database called...

Say, I am building a service which I want to gain natural 100% trust from anyone who uses it or for any reason is skeptical about it.As a parallel example, I as a user can 100% trust, e.g. lodash library to use in my projects. It's open-source, popular, traceable by the large community and there is literally no place for any backdoor, hidden tracking and so on.So, what if I want my service with...

I was thinking about building an app for adult p2p video calls with random people similar to chatroulette but with its own unique (as I hope) features.I was absolutely sure the app I'd have built could never be approved in App Store because they don't allow adult-content oriented apps to be published.So, that's fine, I knew it from the start so I started building a webapp optimized for mobile...

I know the title can sound clickbaity, but I have a personal practical question born from my observations.As an independent developer I a build frontend applications for my clients. I have a set of tools, one of which is [1] Redux DevTools extension for Chrome.Its window is often open while I am working.What I noticed is some major large webapps keep it enabled in production what makes me think...

I find this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14146850 very insightful and stressing some important common points in comments.The most precious advice as I see is to “talk to your customers”.How do I practically turn this advice into action?Say, I have:- an office with a computer and internet- a map of the town and its suburbs I located in- search engine to my service- some details...

As a developer in a team, I am used to some techniques and workflow, like using git, issue trackers, linters, common ways to discuss the structure of the code, the ways to debug and refactor code.I wonder, how it was performed in 80's?Say, there are many titles for NES, e.g. Castlevania or Contra. These include graphics, sound effects, music, level designs. Work on these games include research...

I work as a senior frontend developer in a company and have experience with backend stuff and devops, learning new things constantly. My colleague and friend is the team lead of our team at that company (10 members in the frontend department). Before working in the company I had a long successful path as a 100% remote freelancer (7 years of work).The stuff we now work on in the company is quite...

Being a citizen of Russia I am currently working for a company on Cyprus as a developer. I never wanted to stay and work here for a long period of time, the plan was to work a year or year and a half then take a pause and plan my further activity as I am more into creating my own consulting business or running one of my ideas as a startup. To add to the unwilling to stay long here, now I find...

I have a good tech background as a backend/frontend developer and I think I can make a decent service/app with deep understanding of how things work and what challenges can be.I am looking for a niche to try and get a relatively quick feedback as what relates to perspectives and finding my passion for it. Being open-minded and impartial, I am looking for all possible industries that are legal...

I am a citizen of Russia, but for long time I had been working as an independent contractor for my overseas clients. Currently I am living on Cyprus with my family. I've been thinking about starting my own business in IT industry or areas connected to tech since my freelance career start 7 years ago. Now, in my early thirties, I have a feeling that I must make next step by stretching my...

Can you please recommend me Books/Ebooks on the Email and things around it?Principles of how it works, how servers connect to each other, security, extensions, implementation details, programming services around Email.I diligently searched on the web and google, but only found Programming Internet Email which seems to be quite old.There are tons of books on topics like JavaScript, Databases,...

I am working on a free app that I am going to publish on App Store, as my first attempt to get to the iOS apps market.It's going to be a better (in my dreams and hopes) version of an existing app. Put simple, it will be a messaging app.I wonder if it will have more cons or pros, which is surely debatable, if I open-source it and all its new versions while I am working on further improvements....

I am going to begin writing articles to share my knowledge and demonstrate the expertise on my portfolio site as a frontend developer. I am not a native English speaker so my word can sound boring and dry, probably too formal in some cases or even just simply ugly. More than that, I would be happy to have someone from my domain who can read my articles, edit them, find erroneous facts or even...

I have been freelancing from home in Moscow, Russia for 4 years now as a frontend developer and as a self-taught UI/UX specialist. There were good and bad times in regard to work/life balance, money, clients and myself. I am not a famous rockstar freelancer, but during recent 2 years I have been earning $7-$10k per month average, making my clients quite happy and being able to support my wife...
