  1. Re:Anyone unfamiliar with how things currently wor on Apple Plans Combined iPhone, iPad and Mac Apps To Create One User Experience (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Every iOS app has been able to query the UIScreen object for its scale and size in points. What apps do with that is up to the developer. I know that it's not exactly the same as PPI, nor DPI, but it serves well enough.

    That's irrelevant. They've been used for multiple architectures without transitions since the first iPhone. That's how a single library can be used for the simulator (x86) and device, without recompiling. It would make far more sense for Apple to continue this way than to switch to ARM for some laptops and not others. And Apple won't sell a single ARM Mac(book) Pro, and I doubt they'll try.

  3. No. MVC the way it's been done since Smalltalk is to tightly couple the view and its controller. It doesn't matter how many classes you split it into, or if you call the controller a view-model (MVVM). There's really no way around it.

    Someone should rape you with an iPhone 3G. Repeatedly. You are fucked-up, stupid, ignorant and a waste of air.

    I don't understand your concern about the commercial aspect. From the App Store, updates are always free. If the developer is putting up new apps in the store just to be able to charge an upgrade price, that's his problem. He should just not use the App Store.

    UIKit is a part of Cocoa Touch. I believe you meant AppKit.

    Apple has supported fat binaries for ages. Why would they tie this to an architecture change?

    You can find people who need potatoes that will take some in exchange for whatever. That doesn't make potatoes a functional currency.

    Someone should stuff your face in a coal chute and hold it there while someone else lights a match and tosses it in. You are stupid, bigoted, and generally worth less than the shit you made in your underpants.

    Will you fucking drop that VMS crap? Some of the ideas are vaguely reminiscent of VMS, but they are worlds apart in everything that matters.

    Windows has supported IFS (installable filesystems) since at least NT. That no one has written drivers for other filesystems is not a limitation of Windows.

  18. I'll be dead by then, or so far gone as to not care. Old people feel cold, anyway, so maybe I'll actually be comfortable, if I'm still around.

    In order to solve something, there must be a problem first. As long as no one consciously attempts to exclude a group, there is no issue. If women or Blacks or whoever feels uncomfortable, that's their problem to solve. It's not anyone's job to make someone else comfortable. If more women join, the atmosphere will change of its own. No one needs to force "diversity training" (unfortunately, it's a thing) on anyone.https://news.slashdot.org/story/17/12/04/1915224/to-solve-the-diversity-drought-in-software-engineering-look-to-community-colleges#
