To me it seems that those use cases would require a massive and rugged connector like the computer mains plug. Realistically I suppose the solution is to have some sort of a bag. For me when hiking or biking I always charge my phone in the

> I break about a USB-C cable a week I don’t know… that seems excessive, even people I’ve known to handle all of their stuff like it’s free have managed to go mostly through 1-2 cables a year.

They rejected it for (allegedly) requiring it. Apple’s obsession with “all apps must work for everybody” is losing them potentially original or deep apps. The same goes for example for the rule than any iOS game must be playable without a c

From user perspective it’s a different thing. However Apple should know better. If they wish to reject apps because they use APIs they have provided, they should have not made those APIs in the first place.

I don’t know about FlickType but beware that the Full Access does not necessarily mean network access. It merely means that it can communicate with the host app which _in turn_ can do network access. However it can be used for offline autoc

It’s not in the least suspicious. The full access mode was put there by Apple in the first place and most keyboards do use it. They still kind of halfway work without it but usually in a very restricted manner.

My issues are with line of apple’s official concerns. If we standardisé on usb-c now, how long will it take to switch if something substantially better comes out.
548.
by yoz-y 5y ago
I don’t like the idea of a forced standard. All manufacturers with exception of Apple have converged to USB-C or micro-B for older models. Even Apple uses USB-C on iPad Pro’s. Apple should just switch to USB-C everywhere out of their own vo

That would mean forcing Qi on all phones, this would have cost, size and material repercussions quite larger than using USB-C.

Obviously, and unfortunately, not. If it were, then almost all websites would handle their password requirements differently.

by yoz-y 5y ago
Same, you can generate passwords as answers and save them in a password manager note or something.

I don't care how you pronounce my name at all. However I do care about how people write it - if they have a way of knowing the correct spelling. I find it quite baffling that some people don't even bother to look at the signature,

Surely though if you cause panic and people get trampled you would face consequences no? You probably won’t get accused of hate speech but I hope it could go up to manslaughter.

One of the contentions is that skype evolved from an utilitarian entreprisey chat/voice app into a wannabe social network.

I haven't tried this, but from the screenshots I must say that the UI looks greatly more usable than what the official software from e.g. Logitech offers. Great job.

A copper MacBook when? Would be also nice for the anti bacterial properties.

That was the promise and I was bullish on it. Sadly Apple did nothing to improve on it. A Taptic Engine underneath would go a long way for example. Another thing would be an external keyboard with it. As for the shortcuts, turns out that ke

Hm. How about a nice colored Touch Bar widget that would change depending on temperature and load? At least it would make the bar useful.

by yoz-y 5y ago
Depending on the cooling solution the temperature can drop like a brick. On my desktop I can go 75deg to dead silent in about three seconds.

Why or how would a post scarcity multi planetary or even multi stellar civilisation disappear? I agree that there is no need for plunder, but I don’t think highly advanced civilisations are in risk of extinction.

by yoz-y 5y ago
Isaac Arthur mentions this several times. But the counter argument is that with advanced civilisations having gigantic populations, it is hard to imagine that a “small” group counting in quadrillions wouldn’t prefer to live in the real worl

Wouldn’t happen in France where most contracts specify that anything you do, even tangentially related to your work, belongs to the company.

Skype has a checkbox to stop it from doing that, but then ignores the setting and does it anyway. Ruined a few podcast recordings for me.

One thing a bit annoying with Hugo is that somewhere down the line of updates they made breaking changes to templates. Now, since it’s written in go and all statically linked, I’ve just put the Linux and macOS binaries of the version that w

This may be a noble goal but then it may also lead to the program never being updated. If you need to do a major update (underlying system library no longer works, dependency is deprecated and has a security hole, a new direction requires o

I'll play the devil's advocate. Most people will shoot support e-mails at you which are more or less "app crashes". If you have not already encountered the problem you have to walk them through tedious debugging process.

When I worked with git I squashed/reordered my feature branch to make it pass tests on every commit before merging it with the master. This is usually not very hard and you can still do small commits. You can even split new tests into

Depends on your workflow of course. Having all commits on master always pass tests (and thus requiring to rebase the merged branches so their individual commits pass) has advantages (such as this easy bisect). You would still be able to com
