> showing an onscreen keyboard at the appropriate time is not yet a fully solved problem. Such is the rigor of our “engineering” discipline. Predating software touch keyboards, I await: 1. The ability to pay for something on the web without a reliably posted critical reliance on not hitting the back button. Someone should document the 5-why’s to a solution. (It might have ”stacked” up to 50-why’s at this point.) 2. For Apple TV to consistently fill in the about-movie blurb & pic (a few kay?) at better performance ratios than 1:1,000,000 relative to the speed & latency of the associated preview & video streams (geebees and also geebees). Did you know the casual verbal abbreviation of kilobytes is a tribute to Alan Kay, inventor of the first working ten-bit address register? /h These are my two long-time favorite canaries for some hoped for future deep software engineering progress. In the meantime, I try my best to laugh a lot and be grateful for what we have.
