Download and view old Apple developer documentation

How to download and view legacy documentation from Apple (no need to sign in to your dev account)

  1. Download the docset index XML.
  2. Find the docset you want (there are some with URL https://apple.com/none.dmg; ignore them - you will find them again further down the file with a working URL).
  3. Download the dmg. It's probably around a gigabyte or so.
  4. "Install" the .pkg file somewhere on your disk. If you don't trust the installer, do it manually:
    1. Find the largest file, named Payload, and extract it using The Unarchiver.
    2. This creates a new, even larger file, probably named Payload-1.
    3. Extract Payload-1 using The Unarchiver.
  5. After many minutes of extracting, we have our .docset file.

Create a bookmark and paste the code from `grab links.bookmarklet` into the url. Trigger it on a page containing links you want to save and then click the section of the page containing the links. A Markdown list of all links will be generated, and clicking the resulting list will select all for copying.

Discourse Post to Raw Markdown

Discourse Post to Raw Markdown

Source: Export topic as markdown (enabled for all participants) - feature - Discourse Meta

The native URL to the thread: https://meta.discourse.org/t/export-topic-as-markdown-enabled-for-all-participants/152185

By eliminating the topic title from a given post’s URL (t/export-topic-as-markdown-enabled-for-all-participants) and prepending raw/, we’re left only with the post ID (152185).

The whole URL will take one to the plain text of the post with Markdown formatting.

“Thoughts on Flash” by Steve Jobs - April, 2010.

Thoughts on Flash | Apple Inc.

Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests.

I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as
