That launcher may be indication Apple was thinking that way, but look at their latest U-turns on pro hardware and reinforcing their commitment to laptop/desktop. I don't believe they're going that way anymore. Also. Did you e

I don't see why/how – they are _completely_ different UI interaction models. Superficially it looks similar, but the one thing that really set iOS apart, was to build UI concepts that targeted finger interaction first (UINavigatio

I suspect a big player like Netflix can negotiate the revenue split with Apple. Nothing we mere mortals can.

This is my main problem. GA loads a script that sets first party cookies. I really want Safari to have easy integration points to make a good cookie whitelist interaction using plugins. Sure it's painful the first few days having to gr

I'm using Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) which makes like a private cloud dropbox between my machines/phone. No versioning, but pretty solid.

Taking risks is not the same as cheating death. Driving a motorcycle is not something you do to get an adrenaline high, yet from a strictly transportation perspective, it's a bigger risk than driving a car. I think it has to do with pr

How do you mean it dwindles? It seems to hold steady and increase in some countries. This is a somewhat recent figure I found. https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/11/ios-market-share-kantar/

I seriously doubt a coordinated terrorist attack is done as a public facebook post. Isn't that a whole other issue?

Which I agree with. Airbnb is great when it's not run for profit. People purchasing second homes to rent out are ruining nice places.

Don't worry. You'll be welcome. There are tons of tourists in the beach areas and these areas are slowly eating into the surrounding. That's where the tension comes because prices shoot up and regular people are squeezed out.

I do hope EU gets on top of Apple/Google/Netflix/HBO/etc soon. It's supposed to be One Market, yet these all impose territory restrictions where content in Spain is not necessarily available in France and vice versa

Yes, this is why I say I really don't presume to understand much. I've seen some things, and it's questionable whether I understand what I see through my western cultural filters. My pockets were mostly southern india and a b

I got to write an address database matcher once covering all of scandinavia and poland. For suggest functions, it turns out people fully expect to be able to write some sort of ascii normalisation and still get a match, i.e. the address has

There's a reason for reading text in columns – it's just easier! Everything from newspapers to books do it. And it's quite interesting to try layout a text width wise. Just paste some long text into an html-page or text edito

Good point. It's worse than email or username.

Sure. But perhaps it should be something you have that isn't the device you're trying to get into.

Biometric data is not a password, it's an identity. Fingerprints and iris scans are equivalent to a username or email. To secure a device you need a password. Basics: something you are (iris scan, fingerprint), something you have (2fa

The point I was making was that popularity does not equal quality. This doesn't mean I think gangnam style is particularly bad, but is it the best? I think very little can be gaged from the amount of views something gets on the interne

Quite certain it is positive stress. It's hard to describe, but I can quite easily get "into the flow". This is where I focus on a single project, time cease to exist and I just become one with the code. I can focus on coding

I think there is also a revive of cycling as transport. Stockholm have seen a sharp rise in cycle commuters the last few years. As people become more aware of both health and environmental issues, the tendency to choose the bike increase.

Yes, and gangnam style is the most viewed youtube clip ever. Daily mail is not bad because of politics but because it's exploitative, sensationalist, devoid of empathy and does absolutely _anything_ to get a click/view/reader
