Apple Influence: 2 Releases?

Posted by whatsamattayou on Thursday June 16, 2016 @06:32AM
from the self-post dept.

Since Apple refuses to use some open source software with certain licenses, wouldn't it be good then to release two versions? You wouldn't really need to change any features, just the accompanying version and open source license would be different.Maybe it's not much of a concern?

When I go to a web page, yes, I expect the page to load completely and be done with it.

No scrolling needed. Show 1 page of content, and use AJAX to quickly load new page content.

Some dev environments aren't local, and sometimes this is faster, especially if you have to document the changes for future updates that don't include your fancy tools.

If you're a Windows programmer, might be a good idea to write a Windows Service that watches for drive encryption. Then you could stop it before it does anything. For now, I think most of the methods are known, so they are easy to watch for.

Re:Bloomberg Plea: Ad-Blockers Disrupt the Experience on Thursday June 09, 2016 @06:50PM (#11872960)

I made an ad blocker for iOS that I popped up on the App Store so friends and family can find it easily.

But lately, some websites seem to prefer displaying nothing unless the blocker is disabled.

For those instances, I recommend using Chrome or Firefox. Then you can experience the site unprotected, if you want.

Usually it's not worth it.
