Agreed. I don't know what is responsible for this, but it's increasingly difficult to find shows that try to develop characters that are interesting and encourage us to care about them instead of just pulling something new every

Not sure if I'm just dumb, but I can't seem to press play after I record?

Thank you! I have not been able to get into any of his stuff for this exact reason. Interesting ideas, but I just don't give any ducks about the characters.

I admire your stubbornness. I've thought about doing something similar to parse news sites into raw content... how hard was the parsing and rendering?

At risk of sounding cynical I think of the words of some wit on Twitter in the early days of the pandemic: "Rest assured that whatever happens, we will learn nothing from it."

The lack of attention to detail is palpable. But it's not just an Apple problem. It feels like the vast majority of software, you can open it up and fiddle around for a few minutes and find any number of poorly conceived UX choices no

They need to improve their software to the point that the quality/price/convenience of Apple Music is more attractive than quality/price/convenience of the alternative. Since Apple Music is basically pre-installed and y

Exactly, Apple is a hardware company with software as a loss leader. Apple TV is pretty bad. I can't recall ever using it without a freeze or a crash. It's embarrassing for a company with the amount of money Apple has. This is t

One of the nicest things about learning to enjoy simple things is that you know they can't be taken away!

Vaccine restrictions are mostly lifted everywhere I'm aware of. Whether or not they were justified, it's hard to argue that they were unreasonable when it was a common response in many countries around the world. I'm sympath

Writing songs - it's like the ultimate game, math puzzle, writing problem with a single rule: make it interesting! And it's as hard or easy as you want to make it.

Absolutely not a complaint or really directed at you, but random thought: I wish people would name the country instead of saying "in my country" - teach me something that is attached to a real place!

I regularly get crackling on my bluetooth headphones at the gym despite both my phone and headphones being on my person. And pairing is always an annoyance, my strategy at this point is basically to pair my headphones once and never unpair

A cogent and well-reasoned response. Bravo!

The only thing that I keep having to switch back to Google for is the tight integration with maps (hours for local store?) and the little context sensitive details that they have custom code for (movies, metronome, etc). Other than that I

I never thought about this, but it's true. The value of iteration is woefully undersold.

I don't know anything about him except that a friend has recommended him. What's the problem?

Got a source for that Elvis Costello opinion? I'd like to read more.

Seconding. Learning to put in the work is harder as you get older.

Would be funnier if it was C, E, and A. Your version should have the punchline "Hey, we can't serve C minor here!" :P

I tune out anybody who uses the words alpha and beta even semi-seriously.

That's pretty much how all the docs I saw at Google worked. Written by the team for the team.

This is great. Too bad it doesn't allow you any control over the individual sounds, at least as far as I can see.

Are you proposing that the music for Your Song (written by Elton John) was not part of the songwriting? Or should we just say that he chose a poor example and would have been better off with a example where the lyrics and music were writte

Hey, this looks really cool, nice work!

What do you use over Sonos now? I've been unimpressed with their UX and would happily get rid of them but I'm not aware of a good alternative right now.

Ah fair enough, I didn't realize this was something that already happens.

And those societies are wrong.

No offense, but this is exactly the kind of proposal I would expect from a software developer. It would work perfectly with a program where everything is nice and clean: INSERT fake_actor() 5 TIMES SELECT suspects() CHECK officer_state_of_

Current status: my job, yes, it's specifically about preventing badness. The company, generally yes, although there are some definite areas of concern. This is something I've thought about on a regular basis; usually before I tak
