Being pedantic, based on your example, I think the Reminders app does a good job at reminding, but a bad job at alerting. But that’s because a reminder to me is a gentle concept.

That’s a form of (investigative) journalism that the world could use more of.

> It’s very weird seeing the coping / seething about a useful tool like this even in HN comments. People have really drunk the proverbial kool-aid / joined the dark side.

It’s unclear to me what you mean.

Hard disagree. Developers are often forced to integrate with both IAP and backend workarounds, which creates more effort and edge cases.

Maybe you meant to specify a specific subset of iOS-only developers?

Do browsers not make money though? Through leveraging their market share they generate revenue.

This is just a different approach. Provide a product (a browser), charge people that want that product.

I think if individual Canadians were asked what the specific benefits and responsibilities of joining the EU would be, they[1] wouldn’t have an answer.

A poll like this shows ideological leanings, but Canadians simply aren’t well informed about what participation in the EU entails

Edit: [1] the vast majority of Canadians* Most Canadians I know barely follow Canadian politics, and know even less about how the EU functions

Is that in any way related to the Covid framework/protocol that Apple provides?

The M1 chip macbook pro I bought recently is only able to support a single external monitor natively, whereas non-M1 macbooks can support more.

That's a massive compromise, and I'll be returning this version

Although I see both sides, I personally lean towards finding that type hints improve readability. And since I tend towards consistency, that ends with most/all functions being typed.

Though I spend most my time writing Swift code, which definitely influences my preference.

For a couple projects and apps I worked on, exposure in one of these stores would be worth a decent amount of engineering effort. You can convert that exposure into users, marketing "buzz", validation of the apps worth to third parties, etc.

This isn't universal, of course. But not all payment comes in liquid form!

With a severance package that good, I could be tempted to take this as an opportunity to switch jobs.

I suspect that many of these employees aren't motivated by politics, but instead by money.

It seems to be a for-profit commercial company that is fully owned by the non-profit. IANAL, so I don't know the complexities involved with the setup.

It's more complicated than trying to say that the "Mozilla that people think of" is not a non-profit. The Mozilla that I think of seems to be a combination of both.

You speak pretty definitively on the topic. I'm guessing you have some experience with construction that's worth sharing? Would love to hear a positive story of how it turned out!

There is no single voice here on HN. It is a divisive, complex issue. Not only are (some) individuals uncertain on where they stand, but the community itself does not entirely agree. I know personally that I draw the line somewhere, though where exactly isn't clear. I suspect that to fully articulate my opinion on this, I would have to spend about a week doing research and forming a truly educated opinion.
