After playing around with it for a bit I agree. The main improvement is actually using the homescreen as the app selector. Using spotlight was fine when you have a keyboard, but multitasking without a keyboard was pretty terrible on iOS 14.

The only thing I am still trying to grasp is the “shelf” - I see it keeps things like mail compose windows open…but I have been unable to figure out how you are supposed to get back to them later, other than leaving the app and coming back…

The new focus feature is great and something I've been looking forward to for ages — so much so that I built a hacky version of it myself a while ago. Essentially, I used to put on do not disturb for deep work but forget to turn it off later, missing out on important notifications. I really enjoy turning things off for an hour or two and then get back to being social. Having the feature baked into the OS instead of my hacky workaround app is great.

Add, “curiosity”. That gets in the way of automated/automatic thinking. Always eat the same foods, because what if you don’t like the food you buy/served? Then you go hungry (the classic mother, eat the food I make you or go hungry). Or, you waste other resources.

Automatically you get many other rules and reasoning,

If the food you eat doesn’t upset your stomach, don’t change—-what more do you need?

Why change, it’s all going to the same place in the end.

Unmoved and impenetrable to argument these shortcuts come with other formative logics.

And, yes, the market is shrinking and you can see the rust spots. Pidgin used to be a top-notch multi-messenger, now it's a ghost town. Just one example.

You could probably get a response letter drawn up probono by the EFF for the initial claim - but honestly that response letter would likely cost you less than 100$ to have drawn up by a lawyer which is likely a more valuable way for you to spend your time to make sure everything is perfect.

I agree. This seems like Apple is finally conceding it needs to bring FaceTime and Messages to Android and Windows, but it wants to do it slowly so that it looks like they don't care much.

BTW outside of the US, Whatsapp is (AFAIK) the most popular messenger. At least in the Western world. I don't know about China.

I’m curious if Microsoft is regretting not pursuing the Windows phone and universal apps strategy with more pathos, seeing now how successfully is Apple executing incremental changes to get to a homogenous cross device experience. At this point there is no other company that even comes close in terms of replicating this kind of experience, natively across 3 classes of devices (phone, tablet, computer). I’m really wondering what is Google and Microsoft strategizing when they see Apple’s progress.
In my family, it was the best video calling option back in 2010-2012 or so, and there was no competition. So all the older people only know how to use Facetime, and no one is going to go through the trouble of teaching them anything else.

I also have been embarrassed trying to teach Google's solutions and then Google messing with them over and over, so I won't ever try to introduce a Google service again.

What crypto lacks and has underpinned all large-scale commerce throughout the history of civilization is a robust justice system. Mistakes will always be made and bad actors will always endeavor to exploit them.

To date it's generally fallen to software updates to make things right, which entails a huge amount of friction and risk of hard forks (diluting capital and your users).

I have a hunch the tech will evolve toward a cryptocurrency which integrates an effective, decentralized judicial system of some sort. With a mechanism for dispute arbitration and a culture inclined to correct obvious system errors or severe abuse. Hitting the right balance will be tricky but it could prove more robust over the long term and really supercharge the decentralized economy.
The same results were missing from Duckduckgo too.
It's just my observation. I've seen many presentations about smart contracts, what not in the past, but it's frustrating..

But these things happen over and over again. It's super annoying when there's a conceptional mismatch.

Naming and definitions matter. In fact, wasn't naming one of the three hardest things about programming? :-D

This feels a lot like the incremental changes we've seen in the previous years - promises of multitasking and juggling windows and other minor tweaks, but not delivering what I actually want, which is something closer to a regular laptop. In practice, I've found their paradigms simply don't work well - these custom interactions Apple has designed for the tablet are unnecessarily different. So rather than intuitively navigating between apps and staying productive, I am fighting the unnatural mode of multitasking forced on me. The rest of the feature list on this page are just enhancements to existing "app" capabilities like Facetime or iMessage, and that's not really what I was expecting or hoping for in an iPad update, especially given where the M1's performance is. What I really want is an unlocked iPad Pro with a desktop-class OS.

They definitely are incremental!
> Why does it have to be original to be a product people will pay for?

No, no; for that it absolutely doesn't. People pay for all sorts of goods that are not original, like loaves of bread, pairs of sneakers or T-shirts.

It had better be original if you're going to harass former interns that they're ripping off some intellectual property, and threaten them with lawyers.

That's all.

What stops the iPad from being able to do these things? What actual restriction is there?
Why not? It has the power. It can use keyboards and mice now. Plus Android and Chrome tablets can do everything so at this point it's a little embarrassing IMO.

I tried emacs over mosh for a while. It mostly worked, but there would be occasions when my Mac mini's network dropped and never recovered and then I can't do anything without heading home. Plus I would just have to live with things like shuffling that PDF I made in LaTeX over somehow because I couldn't actually see it.

I prefer the iPad to Macs. I'd rather have the flexibility and portability of a tablet than a laptop. Apple's software holds back amazing hardware with arbitrary decisions. In the end I sold my iPad Pro and switched to Android.
As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I saw a complete jackass reaction that tarnishes the reputation of repl.it.

> I have a powerful desktop I love, and no mobile computing device are worth my money these days. I don't need a laptop with full keyboard and trackpad when I have a $5000 desktop at home and work outside 2 days a month; tablets have crap hardware if it's not Apple, or have the least powerful OS if you want to stay in the walled Apple garden.

VNC? RDP? Shell? One or more of those plus a local iOS code editing program with remote-file capability, if you can't stand typing input latency? If your desktop's $5,000, and you have it set up the way you want for work, and we're only talking a couple days a month....
The UK is the sole exception afair. It's not just access to funding because many businesses in the US are created with no external funding. If you attempt to do that in mainland Europe you're going to bankrupt yourself just setting up the company. In most US states you just pay ~$100 and can 1099 your first employees.

The iPad will NEVER be a full-fledged computer. Never ever. By design. The same way Apple will never make a phone or watch that is a full-fledged computer. In their view it is not what padds are. Full stop.

Personally, I like it this way. I can understand why some others would not. For them, there are other vendors making pads that fulfill their needs.
Hi, Yatima co-author here, this paragraph refers broadly to static dependent types, like in Idris, but I described them as "first-class-types" here because I thought it sounded more accessible. Also, becase at the type-level Yatima types are ordinary values, so there's an analogy that can be drawn with first-class functions.

But it seems from this thread this caused confusion, so I'll update the README shortly to clarify.
Be nice if they offered some fancy laptop like keyboard you could dock this into and it could boot into MacOS and then those who have the M1 Laptop who lament it has no touch screen would be happy and those who want best of both worlds, would get that.

Apple's target customer for the iPad Pro is not software engineers trying to run Docker.

It's creative professionals who are using it for audio production, video editing, photography, content creation etc.

Apple sells the Mac for people who want to do software engineering which includes a Terminal, Virtualisation support etc.
I've had lasik about 10 years ago, best decision of my life, no side effects. It only took 10 minutes, and I can only assume that the technology advanced further the last decade.

I know 2 people who had it around the same time as me, and only one has -1 in one eye after another 7 years. The other person is still glass-free.

My advice is to not go cheap. Don't choose a doctor that "also does eye surgery" (there are a few like that), go to someone who specialises in it and only does that.

Unfortunately I don't have anyone to recommend in the UK as I've done mine in Greece, but I've had -5 on both eyes and lasik did wonders.
This is not about cryptocurrency, but smart contract transparency, which actually has very little to do with cryptography. There are standard interfaces like ERC-20 and ERC-721, and there are marginally-standard contract templates like OpenZeppelin, and there are ways to verify the code generated by a certain compiler, but every implementation of the standard has unique code. This is absolutely silly, and a major oversight by the Foundation. Certik does great work (usually), but they really should not have nearly the level of business they do. A smart contract standard should specify the exact code used for deployment, and only allow variance in deployment data. This should be easily determinable from a wallet or smart contract itself, whether direct or by proxy. And execution behavior should be specified exactly, prior to signature, or rejected with minimal cost, and no benefit to the miner. There is some of this in the intent of EIP 1559, but, to my mind, the burn fee is too high to enable safe rejection of exploitive behavior. Also, nothing has been done about transaction ordering. This would be easy to fix by setting the order by the same random beacon that selects the validator, or perhaps a moderately difficult VDF puzzle starting from the beacon entropy. It seems that 1559 is moving in the direction of institutionalizing MEV and dark pooling. I don't see this as necessary to secure the network - although maybe it helps the price by boosting the validator yield. Okay, I've rambled long enough - could go longer. All this is and was both predictable and preventable.
With a view that shallow, tons of well-funded tech companies are "easy", and get funding and success nevertheless.
> But I literally don't want non-reversible transactions. I cannot think of a case where non-reversibility is desired. I understand you can build reversibility on top, but why?

Others do have use cases for such transactions. And even if you want reversibility, different transactions may call for different policies and implementations for reversibility. If you hard-code one reversibility mechanism in the lowest layer, you prevent alternative policies.

Consider, for instance, a monetary exchange. You pay X in one currency, and get Y in another. If the transaction in X is reversible, someone can pay X, get Y, then get X back. Even if Y is reversible, it's not guaranteed that the two are linked such that either both transactions happen or neither do.

If you build reversibility on top of an underlying system, you can provide many different implementations of it. For instance, you could use an escrow service, which guarantees that they hold two things to be exchanged before passing along either one. Consider a domain name escrow service (confirm exclusive ownership of the domain before releasing payment), or an artistic commission escrow service (provide a watermarked/partial preview, release the full version and the payment at the same time).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_principle , which argues for a simple network with additional features layered on top, rather than a complex network with all features mandatory.

Tying this back to the article: it's absolutely a high risk to make large quantities of money subject to a fully automated system with no oversight or controls. On the other hand, fully automated systems enable systems and experiments that wouldn't be possible otherwise. There's value in having both reversible and non-reversible systems, and selecting an appropriate system for the type of transaction and the value and risk involved.
If someone invested "many hours" into something for it just to be copied in 24 hours - maybe not the best idea.

I get that I'm a rather niche user, but I'm a physicist who makes heavy use of an iPad Pro for handwritten notes.

When I'm not at my desktop computer, I don't see why I shouldn't be able to write an run code on my iPad. For instance, Wolfram already has a working Mathematica kernel on iPadOS and iOS, but because of Apple's rigid restrictions on running code on i-devices, they've only publicly released their CDF player and Wolfram Cloud apps, rather than a full on version of Mathematica. There's no reason for this other than Apple's restrictions.

Because of Apple's restrictions on this, I own both a Macbook Pro and an iPad but this feels artificial and unnecessary. As time goes on, I'm feeling more and more alienated by Apple and likely once my current devices reach the end of their lives, they'll be replaced by something from outside of Apple's ecosystem.
Hey fellow European. Please allow me to thank you deeply for that. You cannot be held responsible for anything that some people 3 generations before yours did, but nevertheless your sense of responsibility is really truly inspiring.
