In what way do they differ from other CPUs wrt interrupts that makes them more responsive?

It seems like everybody who ever used Notes either loved it or hated it. Makes me wish I'd ever used it. Or glad I haven't?

Easier to stomach if the defunding of those programs had been in order to redirect that funding toward better-producing programs.

Innovation is generally not accelerated by people that are comfortable/have all of their basic needs met. Really? We could certainly come up with stories of great innovation being done by uncomfortably poor people, but I bet if we ca

It's easy in Xcode to pop up a simulation of the Touch Bar for Macs that don't have them. Obviously not as good as the real thing, but I expect we'll see at least basic Touch Bar use become a standard feature very rapidly.

by glhaynes 10y ago
Note that in actual usage, the Touch Bar will only be changing substantially when you switch between apps/contexts or are interacting with it. From the Touch Bar HIG at https://developer.apple.com/library/content&#

No, a portion of the bar (the "Control Strip") is always reserved for system stuff and can be expanded to full width with a tap.

Are you maybe thinking of something else? APFS is officially "experimental" right now. Allegedly it'll be released in 2017. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System

I feel like every time I see somebody with a new phone they're excited about it and want to show it off. And those that don't have a new phone grumble about how they still have to wait another year before they can upgrade.

It could also be that Apple doesn't see Alexa as something they need to compete with — that Siri on existing devices (and especially "Hey, Siri") addresses that niche for them.

Also it's well known that his career at IBM was torpedoed over a gay "glass ceiling." I guess I've missed hearing this. That's disappointing, especially since I've always thought of IBM as being pretty progre

Main thing that comes to my mind is a new file system (and associated revamps of Time Machine/Versions/etc to take advantage), which is clearly being worked on and just isn't ready yet. I might be annoyed with the lack of new

Window edges now snap to other windows' edges/display edges. (No doubt doable with a 3rd party component before, but not built-in.) Also, tabs (like in a browser) are now available in most of the built-in apps and lots of 3rd part

I think it'd be really cool if it were included, but it'd take up a decent chunk of storage (App Store shows 268 MB), which would be a bummer for people on 16GB iPads.
