Tim Cook Calls Apple Maps Launch His 'First Really Big Mistake' as CEO

Outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook has named the botched 2012 launch of Apple Maps as his "first really big mistake" in the role, according to a Bloomberg report covering the town hall meeting that was held Tuesday with his recently announced successor, John Ternus.


The Maps app launched with mislabeled landmarks, faulty directions, and a user experience that fell well short of Google Maps at the time. "The product wasn't ready, and we thought it was because we were testing more of local kind of stuff," Cook.

Из ядра Linux выпилили strncpy: шесть лет, 362 коммита, одна функция

19 июня Линус Торвальдс влил merge, который убрал из ядра Linux функцию strncpy — шесть лет работы, 362 коммита, семьдесят человек ради одной функции стандартной библиотеки C. Разбираю, почему «просто заменить небезопасную функцию» в C совсем не просто: strncpy только выглядит как «безопасный strcpy» из-за параметра n, а на деле это даже не строковая функция, а реликт fixed-width полей из AT&T Unix 1979 года. Главное в истории не сам выпил,... Read more
