Tech Whine: Safari for the iPad
One of the more frustrating things about Apple declaring Safari on iOS as "Desktop Class" is that you don't get access to developer tools. Instead, you need apps that use a wrapper to achieve the same thing. Thankfully most of them are free, but if they're going to pitch Swift Playgrounds as a way to get new devs it should be matched by the commitment to web development tools in Safari. (Which may need a bit of a boost in terms of brand loyalty these days if they haven't noticed.)
Now there is a tethered dev tool mode, which is pretty ridiculous when you're pitching the iPad as a laptop replacement that doing something the Raspberry Pi can do out of the box requires and additional 1k laptop/desktop. I don't tend to join the jeerleaders about the limits of iPad Os, but this is one that's just ridiculous.
