That's exactly the scariest thing about all of this. Proprietary independent sites like NextDoor collect additional layers of highly-personal information and are liable to sell-out and terms-changes etc.

The only way to trust that any of these things are going to stay positive for society and not move toward more and more abuse and exploitation is to design them from the beginning to be controlled by the citizens and not by a few elites or stock-holders. And they should default to avoiding collecting unnecessary personal data.

firstly the better cameras are proper 4k, QHD cameras tend to be a bit rubbish. Secondly there are many more tools for dealing with cinema 4k, than QHD

Although I agree basically, I think centralization that is actually democratic is at least worth considering. Democracy is problematic and messy, but it has forms besides anarchy. All of this, all forms of bringing more power to regular citizens will be an improvement over Facebook's model which is the worst.
> Finally, before they left, they encrypted her computer with ransomware, demanding $130 to unlock it, to cover up the more invasive attack on her computer.

Anyone having hard time swallowing this? They broke in and were totally undetected when they planted a... rootkit (unclear from article). While undetected they silently stole user credentials... Then to cover it all up, they ransomware'd the computer?

It's like breaking into a house and putting a bug in the wall, and then to cover the tracks you smash in the front door and leave the water running in the sink.

If the attacker was completely undetected, why intentionally jeopardize that?

Well sure. The design community also continues to fawn over a cell phone assembled in factories where they have nets to keep the workers from killing themselves.

"Actually think about it" is not a very actionable recommendation though. If I have a big application and I want to make it smaller, it'd be more helpful if you gave me tips how to find spots where I should focus my attention and some hints about how to avoid "unnecessary" stuff. Developers don't include things just because it looks nice in the makefile. Everything solved some problem when it was included.

Thanks. What's the benefit of using the built-in Button component? The only reason I could see is that you actually want them to look differently on Android and iOS. I've heard the sentiment before but I don't fully understand it. For example, when I build an app I want it to look like my app, with its own distinct graphics, and not like a generic system app. Why go through the hassle of making two different UIs when you can just go with your own?
Two which I really enjoy:

- In Our Time. Legendary BBC Radio 4 show in which four experts discuss a topic (e.g. 'enzymes', 'The Egyptian Book of the Dead', 'The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum') in terms a layperson can understand for about an hour, guided by a host who asks all the dumb questions for the listener.

- Norm Macdonald Live. Former SNL castmember spends a couple of hours interviewing e.g. Billy Bob Thornton, Adam Sandler, etc.). One of the most consistently funny and off-key shows I've ever heard.
So it's a new video format, but without specs or code ?
Any idea when this will be in beta? That looks way more interesting than React Native to me.
This sounds like a major kludge to me. What if the page keeps firing events? What if the page is relying on cues from the browser (dimensions, cookies, JS capabilities, etc.) to know the correct requests to make.

If you care about performance you should design an architecture where it's possible to determine exactly which parts should and can be executed on the server.

NativeBase is still not even close to be as good as the libraries we have on the web (ie, mdc, mdl...).
Unless you want to run your code on the web as well, I guess ...
This is a quite opinionated piece, and of course not for everyone. I want 100% of all crashes reported, so I need Fabric or similar. And I write way better and more stable code with an RX framework, so I'll use RxSwift or ReactiveSwift/Cocoa. And since I do have to interface with JSON, I will include ObjectMapper or similar (until I can have iOS11 as min target). And sure, I could go by with just NSURLSession, but Alamofire's footprint is not that big, so I'll add that too. Why should my app be smaller than 20-30MB if Facebook can get away with 400MB? There will be 1% of users who are delighted by a small binary footprint, but the rest will not even notice.

BTW there's a totally different story with Android apps that will be installed in developing countries, by users with cheap devices and low connectivity. In that case I would scrape every last bit off. On an iPhone I do expect most users to have a fairly decent connection because you won't get very far without it.

Surely a dictatorship is necessarily contrary to rule of law as at least one person is not bound by the law?

Meanwhile, in a democracy, I can see you could have group not under the rule of law _iff_ any actions they take do not impact anyone who is going by the law, including an impact such as "gives an advantage or benefit to those under the law can't get". Otherwise the government whilst possibly being "by the people" would no longer be "for the people" but instead "for the preferred classes".

You could maybe finagle something that some people could do, that was illegal for others, but doesn't give the first group any benefit. But I don't think you can practically; so practically then democracy would be predicated on rule of law even if not technically required.

Accessibility is a big one. When your buttons are actual UIButtons, they get treated as such by the iOS accessibility system.

Most developers don't consider accessibility at all because they don't need it themselves. But there are millions of iOS and Android users who do need it, and they might be thankful that you've made their life easier with your app.

Following platform standards makes things easier for users. Users don't care if your app has distinct graphics.

Why is it hard to swallow? Really it's a classic magician's trick - misdirection.

Think of it this way: if you are responsible for security, you never assume that you're fully protected. If you're a smart hacker, it should be the same thing: you never assume that you won't be detected.
Very interesting - reminds me of superconductors. Some quantity which normally cannot be escaped (ie, everything has some amount of resistance, or the Q factor is a finite number) that under certain special conditions can actually hit its singularity. Special conditions which necessitate exotic new theory.

Also, call me cynical but it seems like the natural application is pulsed laser weapons. Now instead of spending infinity dollars on a portable megawatt laser that can gimbal to attack a target, you have a kilowatt laser that charges a waveguide until it has equivalent energy to the megawatt laser and then discharges it as necessary.

Does anyone feel a tinge of guilt using the amazing technology that Google provides?

I think Google is overall a pretty "evil" (I use quotes because the term is loaded, and the reasoning is too long to easily state) company. IMO Google is, at best, hard-to-trust, and at worst adversarial in many of the decisions they make. But I sure am excited when it produces technology like Android, Golang, Flutter etc and makes it free to use.

Personal opinions aside, what they've done here is managed to create a full-measure cross platform mobile application, and they have the resources that warrant taking them seriously. All the other options are either half measures or require such a drastic shift/ongoing support that I hesitate to use them, to list a few:

- Cordova/Phonegap (half-measure)

- React Native (Facebook is your benevolent dictator)

- Lambda Native (convince the team to go full lisp, and hope/build support as the platforms change under you)

- Native (learn all the ins and out of 2+ different platforms, and hope to be prolific, because you'll likely not be expert in either one)

I just wanna know if anyone else has this dilemma/thinks about this.

IANAL, but the license (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/LICENSE) is basically MIT + don't put google's name in your product... Maybe I'm thinking about this too much
It doesn't look film-y is exactly the kind of excuses we used to hear in the past. The reality is that once you've watched movies in 48/60fps you can't really go back to slow framerate movies as you see them blurry and stuttering. I personally can't wait for 24fps to be a thing of the past. Especially for action movies.
Taking Back “Software Engineering”, CLL17 Dave Farley
Games and apps like Snapchat can go that route, making the user learn a completely different UI. But for practically every other app type, going with a new UI and discarding the platform defaults for navigation, buttons, etc. is only going to hurt you in the long run, both from a user perspective (no one has the patience to learn a new UI with every app), and from a effort standpoiont (it takes way longer to develop your own UI than it does sticking with platform defaults).

That has been my experience at least, every time we changed something from "our" way to a more default platform way, we've seen better metrics and retention across the board. We even try to avoid platform specific things like swipe to delete etc., because the general user does not use those features, even if you "teach" them in the onboarding.

This doesn't mean that you shouldn't style your app etc to give it an identity, and there's actually a lot of room you have even when sticking to default elements.
I'm alleging that every square inch of land in California was claimed by Spain when Mexico took it, and claimed by Mexico when the US took it. Both of them did so by force.

And who said anything about taking it to a court? We're talking about morality here -- morally wrong actions don't magically become moral just because they happened years ago, even if a court would say the statute of limitations has expired for legal action. Every inch of land in California was immorally obtained by the United States, and thus there is no moral basis for the current patterns of ownership of that land. Any system which assumes that there is a moral basis must, to be consistent, also openly permit the use of violent force to involuntarily seize property from others, and in fact must consider such use of force to be praiseworthy.

So if you really do believe what you've been advocating, that's what you're committing to.

Layout Anchors in iOS 9 cut down the boilerplate required to initialize constraints programatically. The tricky part is remembering to turn off translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints.

That said, if you decide to bundle a valuable library, it's not the end of the world. We got away with zero libraries, but we're very much an exception.

The issue is that too many teams default to, "Yes, let's bundle this giant library," even they're dealing with a trivial problem. The default should be, "No," and you should have to argue for bloat.

They won't care... until their 16GB iPhone 6 tells them they're out of space, with that convenient action-button that takes them to the Storage section in Preferences, with all the installed apps sorted into a neat list ranked by how much space they take up. You don't want to be high on that list if your app is not absolutely indispensable.

(Heck, sometimes when it happens I even delete the Facebook app; I don't use it often enough to justify 400MB. Lately it seems they've made its presence required to refresh the OAuth pairing of the Messenger app, though...)
Outstanding Commercial Cleaning in Christchurch
> so they obviously look the same on both Android and iOS

I'm going to be a bit pedantic with this one: this is valid to some extent. You might want to make small adjustments to accommodate for platform UX paradigms - slightly different icons, relying (or not) on the hardware back button, etc...
Have done exactly that using GOOPS which is Guile's equivalent of CLOS:

scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (aiscm sequence) (aiscm element))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define a (arr (1 2 3) (4 5 6)))
scheme@(guile-user)> (get a)
$1 = #<sequence<sequence<int<8,unsigned>>>>:
((1 2 3)
(4 5 6))
scheme@(guile-user)> (get a 1)
$2 = #<sequence<int<8,unsigned>>>:
(4 5 6)
scheme@(guile-user)> (get a 0 1)
$3 = 4
scheme@(guile-user)> (get (get a 1) 0)
$4 = 4

That's the whole point of macros: To be able to create embedded domain specific (mini) languages.

It is very exciting to see more people write frameworks using "React" ideas. This will make React and similar frameworks better!

It seems like one of the biggest ideas that flutter brings to the table is a different approach to component libraries. It makes sense that there is a need for this given that larger companies that invest in React tend to have their own tailored component library that people outside of those companies generally don't get to take advantage of. The startup costs to developing your own library of React components and their CSS/Native wrappers are high.

That being said, when I think of prebuilt component libraries (eg, bootstrap, swing) I generally think of components that are too familiar for users and a crutch for developers to allow them to quickly develop interface code where they may not be an expert. In a high quality app, I would expect widgets to follow the patterns that other apps on the platform follow. Won't this be difficult for a framework like Flutter which will have to re-create each of these native widgets (as apposed to React native where they are just wrapped in a JS layer)?

Regardless of these qualms, I'm excited to see more well funded frameworks enter this space because I'm sure that all users of frameworks in this space will benefit. I will be on the look out for more complex uses of this framework to see how people overcome these types of issues!

And the standard way to clear the ransomware is to re-image the machine and restore from backups. So the infection has to be hidden above the operating system level. BIOS/SSD/HDD firmware etc.

Unless of course you don't provision machines, or keep backups. In which case hiding on a machine being "cleaned" would be simples.
