You can also listen to TAL in the TAL app - although it’s not a very good app and pretty buggy at times. Built by Black Pixel ( https://blackpixel.com ).

HN discussionI don't think they even need a QA department for software, given how many people are donating their free time to file radars. https://blackpixel.com/writing/2012/02/radar-or-gtfo.html Considering that some people will continuously adjust their iPad clocks into the future to be able to play Candy Crush without waiting (sic!!!), this bug must have affected people, and was certainly somewhere on Apple's radar. It's jus…

HN discussion> But, I'm kinda baffled why anyone would volunteer to provide free labor to one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world. Somewhat related, it has become Apple user/developer etiquette not to mention bugs without filing a bug report on Apple's closed issue tracker beforehand: https://blackpixel.com/writing/2012/02/radar-or-gtfo.html I can't believe how many hours I've wasted on detailed bug reports…

HN discussionSomeone posted this to Hacker News a while ago about how submit bugs and interact with Apple. When I compare them to other software providers I have interacted with (development tools/platforms/libraries/etc), the only team looking worse than Apple is google. It's a coping guide for an abusive relationship. http://blackpixel.com/blog/2012/02/radar-or-gtfo.html

HN discussionNote: I listen to Talk Show only occasionally, I'm more of Hypercritical guy. So, Dan wanted an iOS app for some time now (year? more?) - and he was working with Black Pixel ( http://blackpixel.com ) on that. We don't know exactly why, but that app was never released - Dan stopped talking about it (I'm not actually sure about this, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.). Recently, he (again, not sure) wrote new a…

HN discussionI'm afraid this isn't going to produce much beyond anxiety in your candidates. This leads to the sort of interaction where I'd end the interview early, thank the interviewer for their time, and high-tail it out of there never to return. It's a trivia quiz. And frankly, who cares if you know what iBeacons are? What's the likelihood a project requires knowledge of both iBeacons and HealthKit? HealthKit AND HomeKit? Ho…
