I keep wondering how articles make it up to the first page.
This one, for example, an article hosted by substack.
A service with terrible user interface, that tries to make you think that someone is doing you a favour for letting you read their literature without paying, whereas... the opposite is true.
The article itself is irrelevant but since I read it, I can tell that it is a classical nonsensical piece on the benefits of listening to children. The author lacks any formal qualification on teaching from what I could also find.
How hard can it be for Firefox to embed its own recursive resolver that talks only to the root servers? If you are really concerned about privacy that’s the only way to go. Other than that it makes little sense to me to trust one company over another.
There goes the myth that your data is safe with apple. All these vulnerabilities might have been already known to multiple parties before these people discovered them.
I built http://www.pseudoglossa.gr/ (you need flash) a web interpreter, ide, debugger with cloud support around 10 years ago when such software was a rare commodity.
It contributed a lot in getting the students and the teachers in the lab to get some hands on experience with programming.
It also spawned the creation of other applications that embedded it and provided classroom management and automatic correction.
Although I am not a teacher anymore I keep it online and a lot of people still use it regularly. Even if you don't know english you can start programming in your native language at a young age.
Never got support from everyone though but it was fun and challenging to make it.
Everything from the editing component until the interpreter and the execution environment had to be made from scratch.
This is another example of a corporation that's too greedy and dishonest. Apple is by no means the only one. I'm sure there are going to be many "fan boys" and girls or maybe marketeers that will try to justify this, but the fact remains that the company that manufactures and sells the most expensive device in the market and has 100% control over the hardware and software , is degrading its performance on purpose. The user has no knowledge of this (hence the lying) and doesn't have the option of replacing the battery in an easy way. Who tells me that this isn't part of a strategy so that the user will buy the newest and more expensive phone...
Nice idea but not executed to it's full potential.
I use an alarm for waking up. I expect a fast, usable ui to be able to set the time fast and options like recurring alarms,weekly scheduled alarms etc.
I wouldn't replace my vendor's slick, feature full without ads app for something that is not as least as good.
I'm a person that wanted to give them another chance and got my self a Lumia 930. They didn't deserve it. Sometimes I get the feeling they are incompetent.
