While I don't think that those necessarily mean it can't work well on iPhone, it does bring up an important point about feature differences between iPad and iPhone, and one that Apple surely considers: They are _different_ devices, and are _different_ sizes. Some functions will work better on one device than on the other, and vice versa, because of this. This is why it makes sense that iPadOS is now a thing, and why features might exist with one and not the other. It shows that Apple is carefully designing the OS for the different devices.

> First, chrome isn't yet close to IEs peak dominance. Ie peaked at over 90% market share.

Waiting until it hits that to do something about it would be pretty ridiculous.
Based on some random stats website, Chrome is currently at 70% share, and Chromium-based browsers are at 77%
Absolutely. Having driven in a bunch of EU countries and then driving in the US what struck me the most was not that Americans were "laid-back" as the article claims. At least in California highways following distances are very small and everyone seems to think it's natural to cut across into another lane with no safety margins at highway speeds. That combined with very poor lane discipline, with overtakes on the right and left, made me fell much less safe than in highways across the EU. As with anything you end up getting used to it but there's something to be said for simple rules well followed. These Autobahn rules are fairly normal practice across the EU. The Autobahn just makes obeying much more important as the speed differences are deadlier.
It doesn't matter that it looks like flutter. It matters that flutter will be able take advantage of it.
That sounds wonderful. I can honestly say that I stick my head into damn near every store I walk past that has a computer in the Window, and I have never - never - seen one selling a computer with Linux preinstalled (with the minor exception of 2007-era netbooks, which just goes to show what a colossal threat to Microsoft those were). I wish this were not so - I would love to support such a place, with my money and with my time.

(Even if you donated a Linux machine to a thrift shop, I've no doubt they'd wipe it and install Windows 10 in order to make it (in their eyes) saleable.)
It looks like SwiftUI just gives a better interface to Appkit and UIKit than before.
> in a txt file it’s “all the stuff is in lines in a file”.

Are you arguing that flat file databases aren't databases? Because they really are.
Honestly I could name a few things but it's such a massive, complicated place that it's hard to say anything about it. Certainly if you go there and travel around a bit you will learn a lot. You will only scratch the surface but it's a start.

One big issue unique to China is related to fallout from the cultural revolution, which affected a huge number of people. Read this section of the Wiki about education to get some idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution#Education

Another is the lack of a separation of powers. The geography of China carries a lot of challenges as well. One of the advantages the US had was being able to develop in an extremely protected place in the world. China has had pressure from a wide variety of neighboring states for almost its entire history.
tin foil hat thoughts what if CUDA on MacOS allows Adobe products to outperform Final Cut rendering times and Apple don’t want to jeopardize it’s offering?
It certainly gives me a reason to migrate now. Swift alone wasn't enough of a reason.
I don't think there is much demand anymore for a Mac tower in the consumer space; actually, I don't think towers have been a popular option in the consumer space for a long time for any platform.
In fact, Occam’s Razor would suggest that any action taken by this administration should be assumed to be politically motivated, barring evidence to the contrary. Especially since the current administration has always been very vocally hostile to any sort of regulatory or antitrust action.
And look how great Sun and SGI are doing with their workstations today :). The list of companies, who are willing to spend 10k or more on the workstation of a single employee is growing short. And some of those still need NVidia graphic cards.
> For the teams that would have gone native if it was easier/faster I imagine it does change the equation quite a bit (Airbnb for ex).

Airbnb have always been native, and their one foray into partially using React Native didn't work out:

GPU for me. I’d snap one up if it had a GPU in line with that in the MacBook Pro. I don’t particularly want a large external GPU hooked up over Thunderbolt.
> It would be weird for a mustache-twirling villain to give most of their source code to their competitors, hence allowing them to start out compatible with nearly every website on the Internet.

No it wouldn't, if the mustache-twirling villain's indent was control. Those competitors are following most if not all of Chrome's implementation decisions, and economically they're highly incentivized follow whatever Google does.
This seems to be a luxury statement piece for for 99% of what I would consider to be professional workers: people who spend 8 hours a day consuming text and video, and producing knowledge work.

As a software engineer, I just can't quite figure out when the "Pro" label might apply to me these days. The iMac Pro and MacBook Pro labels seem apt, but the Mac Pro and Apple Pro Display labels do not.

It just feels kind of "un-Apple" that it takes research to figure out what works for me, and their product categorization is now rather opaque.

It's probably the biggest shakeup to Apple's developer platform since Swift was announced.
that just shows that they put the tiny, essentially useless HD in to keep the base price artificially low.
> There's a saying: do one thing well.

The problem is that not everyone has the same needs, and there aren't enough programmers to write special purpose software for each person on the planet. Making software customizable is a way to give users a powerful tool that can be adapted to their needs.
I’m disappointed that the new 6k screen doesn’t support Rec.2020 color space.

I wish it would be more future proof, though it’s possible it does support this color space but doesn’t list it on the tech specs.
Apple in 2009: Web browsing on a desktop is cumbersome and painful
Apple in 2019: We've brought the desktop browsing experience to the iPad

I mean I get it, they're maturing the platform. But window snapping and home screen widgets seem very "Windows Vista". That combined with the new swipe keyboard and finally adding storage support... it really just seems like playing catch up for things that have existed for over a decade now.

I would personally never use a device for professional work unless I had full control over the software on that device. Being locked in by the app store is still a non-starter for me.
This is just wonderful, love it when I see a site on HN with well-structured and displayed information on a physical skill. Gives me a reason to move away from the screen for a while :).

I was driving through rural Kentucky shortly after the 2017 eclipse.
Storyboard references made composing complex UI possible, but IMX there's almost always some breakpoint where it's just less complex to do it with code.
You would if you had a storage appliance on a SAN, as the SAN is almost certainly faster than a single SSD.

This is an extremely common setup for video production, so it’s not out of the target market at all.
In my career, first it was IBM, the unstoppable juggernaut that was going to take over the world. Then it was Microsoft, and everyone forgot about IBM. Then it was Apple, and everyone forgot about Microsoft.

Before IBM, it was RCA. Everyone has forgotten about RCA.

It's like in retail. First it's Sears, the unstoppable juggernaut that will take over the world. Then it's Walmart, and Sears is bankrupt. Now it's Amazon, and Walmart is the underdog.

It's almost as if the theory that monopolies inevitably grow to take over the world has serious problems :-)
I'll start wearing tin foil hats again as you built exactly what I had in mind when thought what the future of a Swift-based UI should look like. Literally every box checked.
Trade Money for Time
That depends on resolution. At ultra settings and 1920x1080 integrated GPU won't be able to run World of Warcraft, for example. Even Nvidia 1060 can't, and I think that it's pretty powerful GPU. And for 4K resolution probably something high-end is required.
1000% - remember when Google Adwords ads on search were in their own light-green or brown box? Hard to remember.

This is so utterly scummy. And what's sad is, no one will actually care.
Trade War 'Losers' Have Been Bond-Market Winners
Couldn't that be solved by pay tiers? If you use 0-X number of gallons, you pay $0.01/gallon, X to Y $0.10/gallon, Y to Z $1/gallon, etc.
Didn't Facebook originally implemented something similar to this email obfuscator in their SSO, and later removed it?
>without Google Services and the Google Play Store, it’s a brick. They’ve mastered separation of the strategic openness of Android with the accompanying strategic closed-ness of everything that runs on it and makes it actually worth something.

It's scary how true this is. Especially how it's only obvious in hindsight (to me at least). Yet clearly this was orchestrated.

In both Chrome & Androids case it's the non-free tie-in that's the catch. Either play store or DRM/codecs. hmm...who owns the biggest video site..ah right.
It would have the same issues as SSN though: a number that once it leaks lets someone else have too much knowledge/power over you.
And whenever I get shanghaied into working into the evening, I'm unable to sleep till the early morning.

Which also makes 'keeping up with evolving tech in your off hours' so frustrating, it's no longer fun.
Some Considerations Related Technical Indicators
Isn't that what Zapier's Excel integrations aim to provide?
Would this not defeat the purpose of splitting them up? Are they then not equally likely to behave in a way that favors Google?
JavaScript disabled? Please stare at our Google-sponsored white screen for eight seconds.
I’d consider this a “v1” Apple product. Everyone knows you wait for v2.
Maybe they will.. uberAd ride or something. Might be cheaper than the regular uber or become a pool default.
$5000 for imac pro(+applecare)? that is bonkers.
$6000 is even more crazy.
You can get more storage, better gpu, more options for network for much less. And you wont need to deal with apple geniuses to fix the issues.
Like ajross mentions the cheapest paperbacks started out quite tan or greyish, had quite a rough texture, then faded to even more yellow quite quickly.

The nicer hardbacks and art stock were often more a milky or creamy white, occasionally a more neutral hint of grey. Definitely much whiter than paperbacks, but I think most would be a few steps from the hard brilliant white most often seen now.
I miss my old restaurant jobs- not because the stakes were low, but because the requirements were all well-defined. I knew when I was doing a good job because everything was running smoothly, and then I got to go home and screw around. Being tired didn't make work that much worse because it was easy to get into a flow state.

Compare that to current job- must maintain several projects, all of which are constantly changing scope, while leveraging soft skills and playing office politics, while worrying about career development...
Nope, iOS13 is required, as SwiftUI is a system framework.
Those two aren't mutually exclusive
If your real goal was airflow with rigidity you could just leave the front completely open and be fine with rigidity or perhaps have a small number of bars crossing the front.

You also would not pick spherical cutouts. the bowl-shapes are going to add drag.

This is only being done to show off manufacturing sophistication, you can say you did something that looks cool without adding nonsense about performance.
Rectangle calculations. how quaint.
Ye I agree, but automation breaks down when you need to change and then you need to commandeer programmers and engineers.

Telling Betty what to do is way more agile than having a task put in the bottom of some Scrum backlog.
I don’t see how it does.
Thank you to you and your colleagues! I bounce back and forth between web and apple front end dev, and at first glance, this hits a lot of the highlights from both worlds.
Tesla sold greenhouse gas credits to Fiat and GM
My angle is that software developers do not meet the requirements for exempt workers in spirit; namely, creative and self-directed solutions (perhaps distinct from software engineers). Work for a new/rebooted development org could be structured this way. It’d probably look like a deplorable plan on paper to money people.
This is a great idea but it kind of falls short.

Elaboration with example: LinkedIn is notarious for swiping up any data points that it can find. Your carrier, your GPS location, etc.

As long as there are two or more data points to successfully tie you to that id, it's already game over. It'll just be added to your "targeted advertising profile" and, given the wrong company getting ahold of it (looking at you, Equifax), sold/traded on the advertising market to third-party advertisers to build better profiles because... ...advertising dollars?

Anyways, the premise is cool but I think - without addressing the dragnet that is targeted advertising - it'll just be a minor inconvenience, which will be conquered over time with the collection of enough data points to tie it back to the "you" that they already know.

...unless you start-off with a brand new phone (new IMEI) and don't associate any old accounts with it, that is.
> no word on what, if anything, is changing with Safari on macOS?

Probably because the WebKit team is doing it's own thing and releasing stuff when it's ready.
Their blog is pretty interesting to read[0], at least when new changes are happening.

SEEKING WORK | Mexico | Remote

Technologies: Python, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS.

Résumé: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-abonce-seguin/

Email: marc-abonce @ mailbox . org

GitHub: https://github.com/MarcAbonce

I'm a web developer from Mexico looking for freelance or remote gigs. I'm a junior developer experience-wise, but I can still build a good web application that will fit your user's needs. I can also learn any web/MVC framework fairly quickly, so I'm not limited to the technologies mentioned earlier.
One thing that Google does right with Android is back porting to older versions.
Is video editing external storage more likely to be shared 10GbE NAS or direct attached Thunderbolt 3 with software RAID?
Your post seems odd. The autobahn is generally regarded as some of the best highway experience there is when it comes to other road users.

As someone who spends too much time going slower than the rest of traffic in grossly overloaded light trucks I think I have some authority when I say that being a road obstruction to the point where people pull dick moves to pass you is a great way to turn everyone else into an asshole make driving stressful. As long as you're not trying to go a ton slower than everyone else in your lane (forcing them to rapidly merge left or slow down, wait for a gap and move left cutting someone off) driving in your lane shouldn't be too stressful.
Just recall what happened to Standard Oil. SO's market share continued to decline throughout the anti-trust trial against them. Rockefeller was unable to stem the tide of nimbler competitors.

What happens is when companies exceed a certain size, the inefficiencies of central planning tend to paralyze them and they fail to adapt to changing circumstances, and go into decline.
The 580X is an extremely capable GPU for normal usage scenarios. If you're doing compute, they offer the Vega 2 which is very competitive with anything on the market.

People doing CUDA work are not using Macs. And for Mac apps that do use compute they'll take advantage of it.

I wish Apple wasn't so anti-nvidia, but at the same time an awful lot of the comments in here are basically saying "People who would never have bought this now won't buy it because..."
To my mind, "not in line with" implies that it'd motivate violation of the principle. It seems like it's rather a stricter (... which doesn't necessarily mean better or worse) standard than the NAP (or at least the most common interpretations of it).
- The new Mac Mini has soldered storage. This precludes upgrading storage, replacing internal storage (which is important for preserving data due to a motherboard failure), and adding additional internal storage.

- Apple finally made the RAM on the new Mac Mini upgradeable, but it is not user-serviceable; you have to get the RAM installed by an Apple-authorized repair center in order for the warranty to stay valid on the Mac Mini. The same holds true for the iMac Pro.

- The Mac Mini lacks expansion slots. All expansion must be done externally using Thunderbolt or USB-3.

Until the 2013 Mac Pro was released, Apple has sold an entry-level Power Mac or Mac Pro model for around $2,500 in inflation-adjusted currency that was user-serviceable and has expansion slots. The 2013 Mac Pro was still user-serviceable, but it lacked expansion slots. Now Apple is finally selling a user-serviceable, expandable Mac, but at prices that are beyond what many users can afford. There are no user-serviceable, expandable Macs that cost under $5,999.
True. in fact they have a vested interest in not making this happen, but someone will. This looks really impressive and i've grown to like swift quite a bit.
for those who feel the need to version control of excel sheet content (only values, not formulas) I published a tool (only VBA code) I wrote to export the content of every rows of selected sheets (a text file for each row of data, using a unique id contained in the table as filename).

the gist is here:

https://gist.github.com/stefano77it/ea8f20efebc9d51def852719...
You're correct, but in this case it's clear Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly on spreadsheets. They just make the best software. They aren't bashing vendors over the head with Excel, etc. IMO the case for Apple or Microsoft being monopolistic is pretty weak compared to Google, Facebook and perhaps Amazon. Apple has a problem because it's such a walled garden. Microsoft generally doesn't have any of the problems the FAANG (sans Netflix) companies have.

This, currently on the front page...sure doesn't sound like Excel is a monopoly https://foundationinc.co/lab/the-saas-opportunity-of-unbundl...
I've been working on a very similar framework[1], but wasn't satisfied with the ergonomics enough to release it.

My plans were to extend the Swift compiler with JSX-like syntax[2] that makes use of the declarative framework. Of course that's still possible, especially now with a canonical "Apple" way of building declarative interfaces in Swift.

I'm a bit sad that with the announcement of SwiftUI my implementation will not stand a chance anymore, but I definitely learned a lot along the way how declarative rendering and reconcilation works in detail.

Bottom line - this is very great news for native app development, declarative UI makes it vastly more easy to reason about code.

Yep, that's it. Even major websites have this problem, with YouTube being a particularly bad one. If you have an iPad handy try loading up YouTube, then do a long-press on the reload button and request desktop site. It's a much better experience.

I don't have the betas, but I expect Apple is applying this automatically based on viewport size. Full screen Safari instance? Desktop page. Narrow viewport in split or slide-over multitasking? Mobile page.
