No, good prose still exists but you have to pay for it. You are just overwhelmed by free low quality content.

You are even more right considering your modern app is subscription based so you must justify the monthly fee. Also you are paying an entire UX team which was useful for your nearly perfect v1, you’d better feed them some job.

The issue IS the short term span. Nobody is complaining about ACs making cities hotter in winter. The issues comes from the fact that AC rejects heat from buildings when it’s already hot outside. It renders the city unbreathable in summer.

Oh yes ! That’s my pet theory too. I think it’s why old computers felt good and also why old games were so good. Maybe it have something to do with the complexity of the systems we deal with. When you have a restricted amount of some resour

IIRC, on technical side Android have "intents". An app says to the system : "users wants to navigate to a place" and other apps can say "hey, i have a feature to navigate to a place". Apple don't provide s

Technically it's in the European Economic Area (EEA) but the title was too long.

Yes but it’s not even just that, it’s that there has been a paradigm shift from how can I sell the most useful product I can to how can I attract and retain as many users as possible in my trap, using as much dark patterns as I can so I can

As someone suffering from severe inattentive ADHD, I can see a great potential in the rise of really smart personal assistants which could aggregate every single data point in my life and throw the information at me when needed. But that’s

I sometimes imagine that also. Although I think me from the past would be pretty excited and me from the present would be pretty envious to stay in the 90s, when computers were boring but made for helping users in their tasks instead of try

See my other comment. On modern trains, the emergency lever doesn’t stop the train anymore but let you speak to the conductor. The train will only stop if you don’t speak for several seconds or in case of a real emergency. And tbh, I just c

Yeah my company is currently switching to macOS. We write software in C#, most employees still use VisualStudio, we still have some legacy code in .NET Framework (everything else is netcore). It’s a 20 years old company. So that’s the typi

If you have iCloud, you can use icloud.com to get some or all your photos in a zip. Or you can use scripts like this one : https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...

I’m fairly sure that it’s iOS/Safari who does give the website the jpegs when you use the photo chooser. Even in other sharing workflows, sending the HEICs is a pita.

No, it’s more a narrative issue than anything else. Nobody says we should go back to Stone Age but we should unleash our narratives of what is a nice future. Living in a world where everyone is eating healthy local food, where you live long

No. But I’m pretty sure that if you don’t pay your taxes although you may buy the law, you will face jail sentence. You can refuse to go in jail but that’s when you get the gun.

Because that’s what standards are for : a single base of universal rules that allows you to build what you want over it. The point is not that phones should be connected to GPUs, that’s a silly idea. But nevertheless for plenty of reasons i

That’s the theory. In real life, code is written by teams with different levels of skills over multiple periods of time. Expressiveness is a really hard skill that take years to master and that few people have and that you can only learn by

In theory, compile time guarantees renders runtime guarantees useless as long as you don’t interact with untyped code.

What do you mean by state ? Nobody is against "state", like, for sure, you need your data anyway. What I see that people are calling "state" is just deriving your final state from your original data, like in FP but savin
