This is the way representative democracies work, including the US. Some places have tools such as recall elections that people can use in extreme cases, but usually, it is a matter of voting for someone else next time.

To my surprise, the most common issues I see with the desktop app are audio device issues, e.g. the app doesn't get any audio from my mic the first time I run it, only after I kill and re-launch it. The UI has been fine, if weird. I do

The iOS app seems to work as well or better than the desktop app in my experience, so imagine my surprise finding out it's React Native. If the Android app will work just as well, this is good news.

Large networks of large roads are not financially sustainable [1]. I can only assume this is more the case the more rural you get. Asking for more of the current American style of car infrastructure may not even work, depending on the speci

Outlier makes expensive but very nice wool tshirts. I have accumulated a fair number over the years and only see issues with the ones that are over seven years old.

And collect tax on $20,000 in sales instead of $10,000? Maybe they would be happy if car companies used this scheme.

I agree. I dislike Meta the company and yet the Australian government has managed to make them look good.

An automated system had a false-positive that was later corrected manually. The news here is that the system works?

Contacting Apple would likely lead to a refund. No need to go to the trouble of doing a chargeback. This is one of the reasons developers don't like Apple's IAP policies: developers have no control over whether Apple decides to gi

I've lived in multiple states including California, and this is the first I've heard of red right turn arrows meaning no right on red. Good to know. I believe I've also seen red right turn arrows in Pennsylvania, but they don

Sublime Text is handy for doing text manipulation and jumping around files. I use it in addition to Xcode for that sort of thing. I know some vim but not enough to use it this way. I hope Fleet is closer to ST in speed than I’ve heard VSCod

It will be interesting to see if CoV-2 has significant seasonality in the long term. We see numbers going up as parts of the US tend to spend more time inside (in the summer for southern states, or like around now, in winter for northern st

I saw this for the first time on my parents’ Mac computers, where Microsoft Word’s weird save dialog shows OneDrive first and has a button for choosing a location on the local file system. Meanwhile my Windows desktop does not have behavior

AirPods do have a feature where this is supposed to work automatically, without having to pair multiple devices, for all devices on the same iCloud account. It’s nice. I haven’t tried other brand headphones that can pair to multiple devices

Shortcuts on iPadOS and whatever beta of Monterey I'm running on this computer can both set and clear focus modes. I use that on my iPad to set a focus mode, which also updates my home screens, and launch AudioBus in one go by running

I am surprised to see someone saying HLS wouldn't work this way. I'm not up to speed on the latest in HLS, but when I used it circa ten years ago, HLS worked by providing parts of a stream as individual video files, so I'd ex

I agree about YouTube, but I think the funding environment has changed significantly since then. Requiring larger amounts of money or a longer time span than usual is a surmountable problem now. Uber has proven that being unprofitable to th

Sadly, the Apple Music app on macOS also has major issues. For example, I’ll open it and try to search, and the results view says “Showing results for ‘query’” followed by a bunch of unrelated songs and albums. Running the search again actu

There is a minimum number of hash matches required, then images are made available to Apple who then manually checks that they are CSAM material and not just collisions. That's what the 9to5Mac story about this says: https:/&#x2F

This is the way to go. Seeing removed videos, which you don't even remember the topics of, in one of my YouTube playlists is so frustrating.

Lucky for me, I’ve had the same experience at multiple jobs. I’ve kept these kinds of “lax” habits at places where other people spend 9+ hours at their desks every day. I always thought it was a waste for other people to work long hours wh

In this case and things like ATT, Apple is saying "you can no longer do this to our users unless they agree to it first ". And they default to asking users. That users are the ones making these choices is an important point.

Clicking links doesn't sound like the sort of thing that email servers would know about one way or the other. Likewise for engaging (or not) with emails at all. What setup do you have in mind where this is the case? Given that AFAIK Ap

There has been serious talk on the Swift Evolution forums about distributed actors, so this may be something that Apple adds in the next couple of years. They haven’t given a timeframe that I know of. Or a promise that it will definitely ha

I assume the grandparent was talking about how, as soon as the last reference to a refcounted object goes away, the object is deallocated. Pure Swift follows this rule though Objective-C code may not always do this due to things like autore
