Actually, what if we just do it ourselves? I think it's quite unlikely that Apple is going to do it, so what if we create, say, a browser extension that adds user-contributed notes to the documentation pages? The notes can be code examples, warnings about common pitfalls, etc. We can use an upvote/downvote system to filter out spam and highlight the helpful notes. Is anyone interested?

I was reading the comments on this article and noticed some animosity toward developers. Some comments are downright hostile. Why is that? I remember that a few years ago, user attitudes toward developers were more positive.

The US and Russia team up to bully a democratic country that split from the former Soviet Union? What kind of garbage plot is this?

For various reasons, I learned that there's a hemorrhoid ointment called 马应龙麝香痔疮膏, and it's legit.

(For non-Chinese speakers, "马应龙" sounds suspiciously like "Musk Elon", and "麝香" translates to "Musk", so they know.)

The latest update to Teleplayer got #RejectedByAppReview. Their reason: "Terms for AirPlay in the app subtitle in an inappropriate manner."

I find this really confusing. The app subtitle is "AirPlay a list of videos". How is that inappropriate? Are they thinking I'm copying AirPlay? I'm just using AirPlay.
