On the iOS side, I regret not knowing how horrible Xcode is and how horrible Apple's documentation is. On the Android side, I regret not realizing that no matter what kind of slick new well documented APIs Google releases we will all be writing code for Android 4.4 for the rest of our lives. Also, I wish I knew mobile developers are some of the lowest paid developers other than game industry peons.

I wish I can tell you you were wrong here but I only have anecdotal evidence. Maybe you’re stuck in a company that’s taking advantage of you with a low salary?
I have recently looked at surveys in my country and mobile developers are one of the most paid programmers out there, especially the ones experienced with Swift. What does cause the low pay in your country? Logically the sector is ever expanding and there is always demand for hires with any experience.
> The specific technologies that developers use also impact salary. This year, the technologies most associated with high salary include Go, Scala, Redis, and React.
Surprised me seeing Scala in there, thought it was basically dead now. My last experience with seeing it in a codebase and using (or trying to use) SBT, I was kind of hoping it was.
this applies to web developers as well. too many devs on both web and mobile, so salaries are lower then rest of IT technologies. usually a web/mobile dev needs to know a lot more to make it on the same par, at which point you can argue is a full stack one anyway.
Laughable to compare the obsessive curation of music on what.cd with any of those platforms, not to mention the fidelity and the vast range, far exceeding what’s available on the other platforms.
It's not so much because of the pirating that this service was successful, it's because of the dedicated userbase it held.
If something like what.cd integrated with something like Spotify- a legitimate way of accessing lots of music- say "here's a button to stream" somewhere on the site, it would probably be successful.
Mind you, one of the other reasons that these sorts of things with torrent or whatever backends get so popular is because there isn't a particular gatekeeper that can decide what can and can't be on the platform [1.] Destroying and damaging the effort of people who help your platform on their spare time tends to garner ill will.
I would pay for what.cd. In fact, I did pay. I think I donated about €200 at some point.
The entire experience of what.cd was just amazing, and services like Spotify are lacking a lot. The situation is better than a few years ago, but still very far from perfect.
Yes. But they are nowhere close to the ways you could discover with it.
Spotify's playlists doesn't even compare.
>Oh kay. More like you just liked stealing from creative professionals.
Ofc.
In fact, there are studies that show that piracy helps the industry. And I bet the biggest winners are the creators themselves, as they are the ones that profit the most from exposure. Musicians get more more from concerts than albuns sales.
Half the answers are by people calling themselves the CEO of some dinky Saas thing with five bucks recurring revenue. I don't even click on it if it comes up.
Right. If people think BLM is controversial, check out the Black Panthers. BLM just wants a kinder gentler capitalism, the Black Panthers wanted to overthrow the shit and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Switch to OneSearch. It's just an anonymizing wrapper around Bing like DuckDuckGo, but since it's run by a public utility (Verizon) rather than a private fly by night outfit like DDG, I trust it slightly more.
This seems fine and I'm not anti-onesearch or anti-Verizon in particular, but why do you feel that DDG is "fly by night"? Because they're small?
I think more Americans have been scammed by Verizon, Comcast, or AT&T than have ever even heard of DuckDuckGo! I have plenty of tiny class-action settlement checks to prove it.
Not sure why this is downvoted. The DNC chair had to resign after her conspiracy to rig the election was leaked by Seth Rich.
CNN still up to the same tricks too. How did you like "Mr. Sanders, why did you say a woman can't be elected president?" "I never said that." "Senator Warren, how did you feel when Mr. Sanders told you a woman couldn't be president?". What the hell was that?
The Seth Rich conspiracy theory[1] has no factual basis in reality. It's a political smear to muddy the waters most likely started by Russian propagandists as cover to their hacking in our 2016 elections.
Saw an analysis of game sales on Steam for 2019 recently. Way, way down compared to 2018. Yeah, sure, it could be everybody is busy working, but it didn't look good.
