So doesn’t that argue in favor of them dropping support of the headphone jack just for the versatility?

But I mentioned in another reply that BT multipoint is a thing. The good standard BT headphones can support multiple devices.

They did that with iOS 12. iOS 12 was great. Actually made a bunch of old devices more usable.

But then for iOS 13 they tried to catch up with 2 years worth of features in 1 year...

They just need to either slow down the pace, or figure out how to scale their developer count better.
In this case yes, wasn't that the point of using the other url?
When I first worked at Apple 30 years ago it was widely acknowledged that R&D had a two-tier system for software development. The rockstar engineers got to work on new stuff and the less productive/creative engineers cleaned up their mess. Bringing new features to maturity was a low-prestige activity and was not rewarded as well. The top engineers joined the hot new projects, shipped the first version, and then moved on to the next big thing. That pattern changed somewhat after Steve Jobs returned, but it still seems to be the case that testing and maintenance are not a very high priority.
The why not use a word that doesn’t imply “go at an unsustainable pace”? There are plenty of good ones to choose from.
The problem seems to be there are so many bugs it becomes impossible to tell what caused what. Also, mixing unfinished features with known bugs in there might be a waste of time.
The thing is all of them can and have backfires. Fact-checkers often encounter the backfire effect from those who don't want to know the truth but validation. Filters have the Streissand Effect where the cover up validates that there is something to it because they fear it.

The last election has frankly lead to short sighted hysteria being exploited ruthlessly by vested interests Big Lying their nonsense.
It would be okay if the channel were duplicated in the drafts section. But moved? That definitely makes no sense.
I would be terrible at this. I purchased a set of headphones that sucked and left a 1 star review. The seller contacted me and sent me a new pair. They sucked too. But, the seller asked me to change my review to 5 stars. I refused. They actually sent me 2 more sets, each time encouraging me to change my review to 5 stars. Eventually they gave up (all the headphones had problems so I refused), but I was amazed at the lengths they would go through just to get one person to give them a 5 star review.
What? The whole Uber board, all their execs and their staff think this is a good idea? I don’t get how these things get decided in some companies.
The answer is to stop talking to normies. We'll make a virus some day that eliminates the nonspectrum and all be better off as a species. Sorry, I don't actually want that, I'm just venting. Wow that actually helped, maybe the normies are on to something.
The proposed way to achieve editability sounds like it is inherently at odds with the page description model of PDF, which is in turn exactly what gives it its stable output on different platforms.

A PDF renderer basically needs to be able to rasterize fonts and paint glyphs on a page/screen – that's it. Layout, spacing and even kerning are left to the producing application.

The project mentions the lack of robustness inherent to web-based document formats, but I'm afraid that any alternative would either be severely limited in the range of achievable output documents or would end up reinventing the wheel.

As an analogy: SVG has been around for a while, and yet we still use PNGs and I don't see them going away anytime soon.

Maybe what we really need is just more widespread support of ePub, and maybe some extensions for more "document-like" (instead of book-like) functionality in editors for it, and potentially support for an embedded rendered PDF for layout stability?

Difference between volatile and synchronized in Java
is there any scoring of internet freedoms based upon the number of routes in and out of a country? the same means by which a country controls its own people through this method can certainly be used against the same by both forces inside and out. certainly economic war could be fought just by shutting down access for countries which only have one or two nodes to the outside world.

the international community could also simply put in place rules that a countries leadership can have no more access to the internet than its populace and cutting off that populace would invoke limits on the leadership if not economic sanctions

Some countries do it by obvious means and others hide behind friendly sounding "protecting the integrity of" laws but the results end up the same. the government keeps its rights and access but everyone else is cuffed
Why does that justify conforming the user to the software? Software, especially web software, has this magical quality of doing different things for different people even at the same time.

I read his books as a youth and enjoyed the stories. I re-read his books as a 60 yr old because they were very popular in the book bins scattered around the VA hospital I was at. This time I enjoyed the man and author. Some trivia: I always thought Tom Waits was clever to come up with the line "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King" but that came from Vonnegut in "Player "Piano. I especially appreciated "Breakfast of Champions" because he inserted himself into the book as a character and stated that writing the book prevented him from killing himself like his mother. It helped me not kill myself as well.
>>> If you have trouble seeing why some would find a forest full of crying animals who has been partially burned to death sad or troubling with more to come, maybe you’re someone who has trouble feeling empathy?

I have no trouble seeing why some would find it troubling - what I do not get is why you would think this is a reason to put there the warning. You say it yourself - we are going to have a lot of problems. Shouldn't you encourage people to face them? Is it not a good thing to be disturbed by disturbing things? What is better - that people face the hard truths or that they cover their eyes in front of them? This is what bugs me on those warnings - that I perceive them as making our society more fragile and less able to handle the problems. There is such a thing as too much sensitivity. Coddling is not good for us.
I think the biggest problem is that solutions we've used to subsidize middle class homeownership in the 20th century don't work anymore. Think mortgage interest rate deductions, things of that sort.

In cities surrounded by cheap farmland waiting to be developed, this money can be funneled into housing development. In the modern city that's already at "peak suburb", homeowner subsidies just contribute to bidding wars, driving up prices.

What we need is better utilization of land in desirable location.

Also, we need transit to connect neighborhoods to city centers. Hellish driving commutes could be pleasant train commutes with modern infrastructure.

The options have always been build up, build closer together, or build further out. The first two have been illegal in most places for decades, and at peak suburb we've reached the limits of the third one in terms of car infrastructure

Well, Bitcoin is valued a lot lower now in 2019. I'm a Christian and I have many investments as well as stock and cryptocurrency (BITCOIN). Also, your education, you need to educate yourself on investing. Everything including the knowledge and monies that I have gained over the years related to cryptocurrency/bitcoin I have learnt all through this guy right here…[DIGITALASSETSCONSULTANCY@HOTMAIL. COM ] I personally fell in love with everything cryptocurrency and I'm invested in blockchain projects that may be disruptive and solve future problems. I met this cryptocurrency expert on a blockchain blog where he helped people retrieved their stolen bitcoin wallets, passwords from online scammers. My life changed for good when I signed up for his mining investment and trading strategies. I started with just $500 and in less than 5 days my investment increased by 1000% was able to accumulate about 176000 USD in less than 3 weeks. I am not used to doing something like this but i believe there are millions of people out there that need to see this and I really can not keep this to myself. I am a very appreciative person and this is a way of saying thank you to the team Digital Assets Consultancy for a job well done. Contact him at his email address if you need help in bitcoin mining or trading or wish to invest to yield maximal profits.

But why wouldn't you want to send or receive money using your bank? Isn't that what it is for? As a non-US person this seems really strange to me (but so is the concept of cheques and tip-based income).

I'm used to using the bank, the apps they have and de debit cards they provide (and now also Apple Pay) to send and receive money instantly every day, and there are on average ~10 instant transfers daily to both other private accounts or businesses to pay for things.

Perhaps this is an exotic or luxury position, or there is some unseen cost to this, but I'm not aware of that at this point.

This might be a naive question: how did we decide as an industry that cache should be controlled by the hardware, but registers and main memory by the compiler?
Yes.

"Ein ungefragter Rat ist ein Schlag."

Unfortunately, in english, it doesn't rhyme that nicely: "An undemanded advice is a punch." (I seriously doubt that "undemanded" is the best translation for "ungefragt", but you get the idea.)

When feel like people would benefit from advice to the extent that not giving it would be unfriendly/selfish/whatever itself, I try to follow following guidelines:

* Refraining from using "you did", "you said", "you <whatever", but instead choosing something like "I read that as", "I interpreted it this way".
* Not implying what the other one meant, but instead saying something like "when I did it the way you did, I did it because of xy. Only later I learned that I was wrong, and people didn't actually mean it that way." That puts you onto the same level as the person you are talking to. Even if the other person takes what you say as accusation, you are accusing yourself of the same, so it's less bad. Plus, there is still the emergency exit for the other person to say "well, actually my reasons for stating it this way are entirely different".

I hope you get what I mean.
I'm more inclined to think that Snowden and Manning case prove that whistleblowing it's effective only if the receiver is good at protecting the source, which wikileaks, and Assange in particular, is not.

Deep throat identity has been a very well kept secret for over 30 years, Manning and Snowden have been exposed merely weeks after the material was published.

It looks to me that Wikileaks is the real paper-thinly veil.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I would think that wikileaks was created exactly with the purpose of exposing whistleblowers.
Honey is very similar to the ad programs we had during the early 2000s. People used to get paid for clicking on ads.

One single privacy issue will kill the whole product. This is like buying a new car, PayPal already has Lot less than 4billion in its hands.

It depends on what you consider "feature flags" to be. Apple already uses macros quite heavily to selectively include code and new features in certain builds. Presumably the new flags allow for enabling features at runtime or to certain groups, which is something that they don't seem to have done much in the past.

I saw this play out several times when I lived in NYC. Many friends would hit that point where kids were now a consideration and one of the partner’s was ready to transition to a new job. They’d talk about moving, and usually the spouse in a transition phase was ready to go elsewhere. But rarely were both spouses ready to go at the same time.

This isn’t a normative statement, but two income families are inherently less mobile (absent one spouse working remotely). It’s a world of trade offs...

this post seems to be used for strategic messaging to boost Bloomberg's current campaign:

this kind of thing makes the reporting feel questionable. A shame because the message is really important.

I'm one of the most staunch Apple supporters but even I must admit that since WWDC 2019, I have spent more time fighting Apple's bugs than actually using any of the new features...or the old features that used to work flawlessly (like iTunes/Music.)

Not just on the user side, but the developer end as well.

Perfectly valid code which used to work up till Xcode 11.1 throws errors inside the Swift runtime or toolchain on Xcode 11.2 (and 11.2.1). Even the Swift engineers on the official forums don't seem to know what you can or can't do with the new language features.

And after seeing bugs I reported eons ago still not fixed, it feels futile to even bother reporting them anymore.

It's still not quite bad enough to make me want to flee back to Windows or switch to Android, but it does make me depressed, like there's nothing left in the world that "just works", except maybe my Nintendo Switch.

They use any definition their law uses to define rape.

I don't think you and Stallman agreee at all.

Stallman was against using "sexual assault", because it can be conflated with opinions like "assault means using violence" while it's not necessary to be sexual assault.

Stallman was in fact in favour of using "statutory rape" which is not ambiguous.
