Isn't it though? It's the "password" to the secure enclave which then provides a "password" to the OS.
Edit: I agree with your statement that "a password is something i can change if it gets compromised. a password is secure from others." Which is why I like that there is a method for disabling TouchID/FaceID with iOS 11.
Thanks for being so open to sharing. Do you have a blog? How do I find your blog? Before you posted this comment how would I even know to look you up.
Just because someone on the internet had a particular setup doesn't mean I want to follow it. Or that I have time to track down several people's opinions.
Getting install stats directly from the homebrew project, which I know because I use it, is infinitely more useful to me and much more easily discoverable. that's just my opinion though and you're entitled to your own.
They have a section on this very website, called "Ask HN". It's not uncommon for people to ask for opinions/input on tooling.
That also gives you more context, because it's answering your actual question, rather than trying to answer your own question with a bunch of vaguely related data.
It also handles the dependency issue. Someone asked why imagemagick is so popular, but its probably actually just a dependency for language-level bindings (e.g. php-imagick), not that people are using `convert` or `identify` directly on the CLI.
Heck, consider the case of front-end developers who have a toolset that depends on nodejs. They may never write any server side code, but if they follow recent trends they probably need nodejs for their css/js "toolchain" - the stats don't tell you that though. They just tell you that nodejs is installed a lot.
+1 Though I do leave the occasional TODO or FIXME comment in code I prefer using deprecation attributes so that it results in a compiler warning. I spend a lot of time in Xcode so for me I like that autocomplete shows the method with a strikethru and the compiler warning is highlighted inline. It becomes glaringly obvious to everyone that we're adding to the technical debt by using the API.
Actually that's (almost) exactly how I did it joining Apple. I had already interviewed and been turned down with the group I wanted to join twice. Now I was coming in for another interview with a different hiring manager. I was willing to put up with another possible rejection because I really wanted to work at Apple. So I worked with one of the recruiters and had setup interviews with 6 other groups. I did 2-3 interviews a week and it was grueling but in the end I had several groups that wanted to hire me including the original team I wanted to join. They could only make one offer but nothing stopped me from interviewing until I was blue in the face.
EDIT: Another note, at least three of the roles I interviewed for had homework assignments. None took longer than 2 hours and I actually enjoyed them and the subsequent interviews much better.
The title is misleading. Looking at the About Us section it appears that only the CEO/Founder worked at Apple.
It's nice to see a new entrant into the industry none the less though. Interesting idea to use audio detection but I'm a little surprised it didn't include a PIR sensor for motion as well. Would be curious if there's an eventual platform play here.
Can you elaborate on how static library support is a hard requirement for your workflow and why frameworks (LLVM modules) don't meet your needs. I'm genuinely curious as I haven't had a chance to do any real work in Swift yet.
I feel there's an important amount of context left out for anyone to give you sound advice. Do you have a wife/husband? Children? Ages? Any other commitments? A mortgage, car payments, other debt? What fields have you been in? Then, there's the personal side. What's on your bucket list? Could you earn half of what you're used to and live comfortably along with any dependents you may have?
Also, what's wrong with management? For that matter, what's wrong with being bored or confused? It seems like you have a certain sense of urgency for change, but is work where change is most required in your life?
What do you want? If nothing, then at least learn to be content. This is not advice, just me repeating what I often find myself contemplating.
