I really wish someone had the political capital to do something about the tabloids. They’re really a detriment to society.

Well said. I really wish we had a better word for someone who is bullied into suicide. It’s tantamount to manslaughter imho. Recently, a snark/bullying community on Reddit resulted in the suicide of their target (a woman responsible fo

In actual use, the icons are layered and have more visual separation than is shown when flattened down. Still might not address your concerns, but I also don’t think the site currently shows them accurately

One thing to note that isn’t captured by the graphics on the site, is that the new 2025 icons are layered and have material effects. So they look flatter on the site than they do in use. I recommend folks watch the introduction to icon comp

While I appreciate the ACM having an article on this, their own site is a poor example of good UX. And some of their conferences are just downright awful UI https://s2025.siggraph.org/

Nobody here has actually answered you. The Find My network is well documented, starting with https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/security/sec6cbc80fd0/... But essentially each device says where they sa

Like I said, you can gate by capabilities but not by hardware. I was referring to your last paragraph about the supposed explicit compatibility settings in the App Store per hardware. That is not a thing. Your example is specifically a capa

by dagmx 1y ago
You can’t gate support on the App Store to specific hardware configurations, only platforms. At most you can make apps available to iOS or iPadOS separately but you can’t restrict the store listing to any category of iPhone or iPad device.

Sure but that doesn’t affect software compatibility which was what the person I responded to was talking about. There’ll be hardware compromises of course, but software should run fairly uniformly.

What differences in capabilities would there be? The cores are identical, it’s largely the topology that’s different.

Microsoft stores were abysmal. They felt like Best Buy without the convenience somehow. I went in to try the (then new) Surface Studio (the drafting table like AIO) and they couldn’t find the peripheral knob. But it kept triggering, but it

Their end goal isn’t with AI per se. Mark wants to own platforms. He always has. That’s why they tried to make a phone, networks, VR headsets, horizon worlds and now glasses. AI is just their vessel to draw people in. It’s the flash that ge

iPadOs has window tiling if that’s what you mean by snapping and has had it for longer than floating windows. And stage manager is basically workspaces by another name.

Imho cycle time perhaps can only be taken as a reflection across people who are doing similar things (likely team mates) or against recurring estimates if they’re incorrect. But generally when I’m evaluating cycle efficiency, it’s much bett

Okay so you literally can’t point to the fabrication and can’t make a cognizant argument without denigrating the other persons questions or argument. Have a nice day raging into the wind.

Your literal words are > All they'll do is give us whitepapers on how things should work, which we know has been fabricated at least once in the case of Push Notification backdoors I’m asking for evidence of your own claim. Apple do

Meta pays a lot. Most people there don’t work on the shady stuff and don’t pay attention to what else is going on. That’s generally the case for everyone I know who works there. Many of them are even quite liberal and will join protests for

Could you point to the white paper that would apply to notifications privacy? I can’t seem to find anything claiming notifications are encrypted, often the opposite.

That’s not really at odds with the goal of empowering creatives. A significant chunk of every iPhone and iPad release is features specifically for creatives. This specific site doesn’t cater to creatives and will often be full of developers

Qt have announced they’re doing Swift bindings recently https://www.qt.io/blog/about-the-new-qt-bridging-technology Afaik someone on this site shared a repo url that has the early bindings using Swift C++ interop.

Swift is at a good middle ground of performance, safety and ease of use. It has higher level ergonomics that something like rust lacks (as much as I like rust myself), doesn’t have many of the pitfalls of Go (error handling is much better f

I think you’re viewing that era with significantly rose tinted glasses. Yes, people were using that Flash for that but it came at a great expense. Flash was a massive battery drain, and to get better performance it required punching massive

by dagmx 1y ago
Flash was great but it was from an era that brought a ton of baggage that wouldn’t have scaled without a full rethink. From energy use, to security and accessibility, it was very problematic.

They’re all in the same ballpark of each other and have characteristics that don’t make one an outright winner.

It’s a shame that they’re trying to poorly frame what is a decent paper as a method of e-commerce 1. All the products shown would have CAD models already and have no need for GenAI to make 3D models. A mesher and decimation would give bette

Lots of great stuff here this year. The Braille mode particularly is interesting, as is the accessibility reader.

Way to start of the comment by being uncivil. You could have made the exact same point without being a jerk about it. But it’s common to only want to support specific response codes in a context, and people do use enums for that. It’s a fai

by dagmx 1y ago
Okay? So you cast it to the enum and instantly know it’s not a case you support. It’s built in validation.

by dagmx 1y ago
Exhaustive matching doesn’t necessarily mean you handle every case separately, but it means you aren’t going to get cases you don’t know about sneaking in. With a bare int you can get values outside a range and the compiler won’t help

by dagmx 1y ago
You can’t exhaustively handle an enum with just an integer.
