Very interesting product. I enjoyed reading through the site. Congrats on launch + sales and good luck with it.
That particular BotW screenshot isn't entirely representative, what is remarkable about BotW is that going for a non-photorealistic aesthetic makes the game more compelling as there are fewer details competing for your visual attention. I highly recommend playing or viewing it at 1080p on a very large screen.
IHear Medical was a IndieGoGo project intended to bring the price of hearing aids down to $200. That was back in 2014. Several years later, they're up to $1000 for a "complete package".[1]

"Jony wants you to take time
and appreciate the simplicity
of the slowly dimming animations.

Or we’re just using it wrong."

Apple has lots of issues like this, in iOS and macOS, where they choose visual appeal over functionality, or where animation impedes usability.

This is a pretty sad bug, though.

My (very expensive, "high-end") Japanese induction stove has a similar issue. Its capacitive touch controls take just an extra beat to register, so you have to turn on the stove, pause 700ms, turn on the burner, pause another 500ms or so, then turn the burner up to max to boil your kettle.

I'm totally used to it by now, and never get it wrong any more, but it still bugs me every single fucking morning.

Chicago and Illinois in general are in rough financial shape. Taxes are very high with no end to raises in sight.
This is the first version of iOS I have actually held off on installing on day one, simply because of all the problems Apple has had on macOS and previous versions of iOS. The last update my iPad 3 got basically killed it.

Doesn't seem to be getting any better and I plan on holding off on updating for as long as I possibly can.
>Why not make a startup?

as other commenters on this thread have noted (correctly), medtech doesn't work that way. You need a long runway, and the regulatory scene does not favor "move fast and deafen people".
Ugh, can also confirm this happens on my phone. This feels like more of UI event/timing issue than a logic issue.

Also, if this turns out to be a performance based bug that will be pretty frustrating considering Apple is always bragging about how they build the hardware, the software, have grand-central dispatch, have Metal and have multi-core custom built CPUs...yada, yada.

It’s not just that number sequence...it’s any rapid fire typing of numbers that cause these gross miscalculations.

Rollback the calculator app, if that doesn’t fix it...rollback the OS.

Yes I’m frustrated.
API Builder [https://www.apibuilder.io] integrates many of the end to end tools teams need to manage APIs at scale. JSON remains first class and support for swagger is native (also supports avro idl… protobufs to come).

API Builder was started in 2014 as a free and open source project to build a community around best practices we learned scaling gilt.com and building flow.io.

Managing great APIs end to end at scale and over time take a huge investment in culture and tooling. API Builder solves a number of those problems.

A few reasons why teams adopt API Builder.

- Very, very high quality generated clients: Teams that use API Builder end up relying 100% on the generated clients - ie. the developers STOP writing and managing their own client SDKs, freeing up time to focus on product improvements.

- History: Every change in spec is documented - accurate and automatic - e.g. https://app.apibuilder.io/history?org=apicollective&app=apib...

- Resource centric: API Builder is resource first - instead of defining an operation explicitly, you define resources and then expose operations on that resource.

- Simple service specification: API Builder at its core separates the notion of the input format (e.g. api.json, swagger, avro) from the service description (service.json). This is a huge advantage: regardless of input format, the service specification can be fully expanded and complete.

- Simple input format: The default api.json format is simple for humans to write. It is JSON, but more than that it is approachable by a novice and designed to be both simple and easy.

- Easy to add code generators: Code generators in API Builder are themselves REST services which accept a service description (in JSON) and essentially return a string. Teams often write their own code generators - even small disposable ones - to systematically solve problems in an automated fashion.

- Testability of clients: With generated mock clients built from the same interface definition, teams can rely on mocks when building automated tests - and further use the provided mock clients to override only the specific features needed for a given test.

- Workflow that works with micro or mono repos and allows for concurrent, branched development of spec, service and client

That said, even when iOS didn’t do active color management (for performance reasons), there were some attempts to simulate it:

> Your content is matched to the sRGB color space on the authoring platform. This matching is not performed dynamically on the iOS device. Instead, it happens during authoring on your Mac OS X desktop.

[..]

> Targeted color management may also occur when you sync content to your mobile device. In fact, iTunes running on the desktop provides color management to the iOS targeted color space when you sync content from iPhoto to your iOS device.

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2313...

(As you noted, there have also been more recent developments. Since last year there have been iOS devices which support the DCI-P3 gamut and use active color management; some of those devices also support “True Tone”, which adjusts the color mapping based on ambient light.)

I really don't like that this requires the first key to be Enter.

The problem with molecular modeling/ protein folding algorithms is that each molecule interacts with every other molecule. So, you have an n^2 problem. Sure, hueristics get this way down to nlogn but what fundamentally slows it is not the growth in computation but the growth in the data being pushed around. Each node needs the data from every node's last time step. For these problems, doubling the nodes of a cluster computer might not even noticeable improve the speed of the algorithm. When I was helping people run these, they were looking at a few milliseconds of computation for a small number of molecules that took a few weeks of supercomputer time. So lots and lots of computing generations were/are needed before we get anywhere close to what they want to model.

Almost all of the animations on iOS are about 2x-3x as long as they should be.

First off, they look terrible, the slooooooow change from one thing to another. Secondly, they severely impede usability because you have to wait wait wait for 1000ms here, 1000ms there, and another 1000ms there after every action.

It's enough to make me want to give up privacy and switch to Android.

Soooo pissed at slow animations. 500ms, TOPS devs. NO MORE, and ideally something like 200ms. /rant

I can't click on next in the tour without triggering the chat feature.
Capacitive buttons are a plague, man. Even the cheap new stoves have them now. Monitors and TVs have had them for a while. Cars are going for touch displays. There's a delay, they don't work every time, and you can't feel them out.

Are they cheaper? I don't understand the point of them in the cases where they're literally just replacing a real button. The worst is when they don't even indicate clearly where the buttons actually are.
Sorry about that. There should be a little X on the chat window that will close it.
Yep, as I wrote below another comment, I share the same sentiment. To mitigate the risk somewhat, I tend to press Ctrl-C a few times before hitting enter to initiate the escape sequence (there are some edge cases where you need more than one Ctrl-C to interrupt).

Still not satisfied about it, as there are plenty of situations where that doesn't help. Being in emacs, for example, it could make things worse...
This happens in real life in software development frequently enough that thinking back on my career I can mentally replay the XY problem chat log as multiple IRL conversations I've overheard between a senior and junior developer without changing much.

I think it doesn't only stem from OSS communities, but is some sort of innate tendency in the types of people who get into software and IT, which dictates that community culture unchecked can become a contest of derision, one-upsmanship, and as you put it, impressive levels of premeditated jerk-ness. I don't know if it comes from the (apparently) increased levels of antisocial personalities in software, or insecurity, or maybe a more base, primal urge to haze the newcomers unnecessarily.
SwaggerUI is awesome enough to justify the complexity.
>> But it doesn't mean $60k is easy to live on.

It is much easier getting along on 60k when you're on a 1995 mortgage of $700/mo with frozen property taxes. Doesnt matter if you sell -- you are living in a million dollar house without paying for it. You get the space now. You get the easy commute now. You get it all for a tenth of current costs.
Is this similar to REST POSTMAN?
“Relative squalor” is roommates or an hour-plus commute on unpleasant public transit, to people who are strongly averse to those things. Are they starving? No. But it’s pretty shocking compared to growing up in a place where you have to be destitute to need roommates or a commute over 20 minutes. (People still do those things, of course, but voluntarily).
I think button touches aren't triggered until animations finish so if you do 1 + 2 + 3 real fast, the second "+" won't register.

The thing AirPods do is work better than other, more affordable, Bluetooth headsets. There’s no lag, you painlessly pair once and can use on all your Apple devices, they’re so light you can easily forget they’re in your ears, etc etc. I have a Plus which has a much bigger battery, but I don’t notice any difference with Bluetooth on or off.
The plus animation always takes the same amount of time to complete, so it shouldn't be surprising that every number sequence is affected.
> Probably setting them up for failure

How does covering an 11-year-old's accomplishments set them up for failure?
Frankly, I think that there are fewer than 10k people who have the skills for quality research in pretty much any field (n.b., the all-too-frequent p-hacking researcher is not "quality").

I don't think that this is news.
Give up privacy? I thought it was with Android that I could root and remove all proprietary services (using e.g. F-Droid, LineageOS). Plus, you can set the window/transition animation scale to anything you want. The only thing iOS had for me was reliability and that seems to have gone out the window recently.

I just wish hearing aids were covered by insurance. Mine aren't, which means if mine breaks, I'm paying $3500 out of pocket... for one. And I'm one of the "lucky" ones in that I can only hear out of one ear (and thus only need one hearing aid). For someone who needs two, that's $7000.

Insane.
It's not hard to know what it is. Watch the screen. You can see the animation.
I'm totally with you there. The HEPA air purifier that I just bought registers input on keyup instead of keydown. This makes you push harder on the buttons, which are just icons, not real buttons, and hence have no tactile feedback. On one hand this is too trivial a thing to be annoyed by, but they could've so easily made it work on keydown and it would've been better! It makes me go "why man, why!"
lol, you think you have privacy on either apple or android? you just made my night LOL.
Nice code !!!@@
I'd been considering switching to iOS from Android due to Android's horribly laggy UI. Glad to hear it's just as miserable on the other side of the fence.
Apple has mastered hiding any delay with AirPods and perfectly syncs things up. No small feat because it has to sync up both left and right in addition to what’s on the screen.
None.

This is a major frustration point for me, as I'm working with a keyboard that's missing one physical key and has two others which only intermittently generate the requested character(s). I have ... workarounds, but they're frustrating.

I've written about this at more length than is good for either my sanity or its reputation here:

https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/lqgtwy_rhsfbdh5cdxb1rq

Upshot: industry standardisation on device sizes, case attachments, and keyboard layouts would be an exceedingly good thing. The pictured keyboard/case (a Logitech device) seems to be among the better general options, though I question its attachment hardware.

Again, given the near-ideal nature of the form-factor, the industry fuckwittedness here is pretty staggering. I've spent more time than I care to think combing through Amazon, Newegg, and other shopping sites (product descriptions themselves make this tedious), and through various online forums and discussions.

The ability to pretty-much instantly, and without concern, switch between keyboarded/landscape and touchscreen/portrait modes is exceptionally useful. "Kickstand" type cases, and loose keyboards, don't offer this, or the ability to use the device in my lap (as I am now) as well as on a table or desk, or (in tablet mode) freestanding.

http://archive.is/FYE7D

Much as I don't care for iOS devices, the standardisation and sales volume Apple have attained make for a far superior accessories market than Android. The killer there is the lack of a true compute environment (shell, dev tools) on iOS.

Other options include laptops (including hybrids), though for my use case (many, many, many formatted documents), landscape-mode-only is a tremendous negative, and I am exceedingly averse to all-in-one, hinge-based designs. (For all its faults, Bluetooth doesn't physically wear.)

Mostly I play Old Man Yells At Clouds.
I don't feel like Apple is overdoing animations. They are mostly only used where they make sense, such as showing you where something disappears to, allowing you to find it it later.

There are also options to reduce animations in both macOS and iOS, although I'm not sure if the calculator responds to that.

But you're absolutely right about these non-responsive 2D stove controls. I have o multiple occasions given up on trying to use stoves at friends' places because I was actually unable to turn them on. The worst sin is obviously that there's no affordability indicating a touch has been registered. But on top of that, they somehow tried to sixth-normal-form these buttons. So you have one button rotating through functions (up, down, off, fire fire fire!), and one other button to choose the burner. Or something like that.

I really wouldn't know anything to make them worse. Maybe Clippy.
I absolutely abhor the new Calculator app on the iOS 11. The old interface was way more elegant, the buttons were squares (and had a larger touch area), and it worked even when you typed fast.

Sometimes I wonder why individuals working for these multibillion dollar companies, who affect the lives of millions of people, decide to change things for the worse. Imagine having spent all those hours overhauling the calculator app, on I don't know, fixing things that actually are broken.
> It's enough to make me want to give up privacy and switch to Android.

It's sadly no better on the Android side of the fence either. How many times I've had to wait for the keyboard app to decide to load…
Not OP, but I did this and it really depends on what you want.

I had some success, then got obsessed with AI. After 1-2 years studying nonstop figuring out what to build I ran out of money and had to consult.

I would have made more money working full time... but perhaps not if my next project goes well.

That said, even with what I know now, I'm about to do it all again. The freedom is priceless.

Risk is scary. But going 9-5 to a job hoping for raises, good bosses, and stock liquidation events is even scarier IMO.
The animation doesn’t mean anything. You should be able to have many animations happening in parallel and their completions should not block keyboard events from being handled...
Monads are monoid objects
yes it's so broken and if you delete a selected event the app crashes.
The software quality of Apple products that I use has fallen significantly in the past few years.

Updates slow down my phone, every single update, as well as introducing errors like this or where I double tap home to change applications and instead get a blur on the screen. Desktop OS updates have incrementally slowed down the computers, notably since Mavericks (and even earlier), so ever-slower desktops are actually expected by now.

I've used iOS products for years, refusing for example to use Android, but the issues I am encountering on the phone have become ridiculous.
It may be time for an old school flip phone with a week long battery.
