> But Swift Playgrounds 4 isn’t the big announcement the developer community was waiting for. It has significant limits and lacks several advanced tools — debugging and profiling tools, versioning, storyboard integration, support for third-party packages, etc. “Swift Playgrounds is great for experimenting and debugging code, but it is missing many of the features ... required to make fuller-fledged apps,” Haas explains. He says the program is “perfect for developing small utility applications, such as a to-do list, but currently incapable of building the next Angry Birds.”

I worry that Apple is going down the Microsoft hole of trying to build one IDE that does everything you might possibly need to utilize the platform. Visual Studio has been hellishly complicated for years because there was no thought towards third party integrations or extensions that may have improved the environment.

And, yeah, Xcode is definitely Darwin's version of Visual Studio. But at least on macOS you have the bash escape hatch. You can install CocoaPods. You can install the Xcode CLI tools and not touch the application at all (like how the Flutter / React Native extensions for VS Code do it). You could install Ionic or Xamarin's tools and build apps that way.

When we asked for "Xcode on iPad," we didn't just mean building a mobile version of Xcode. Xcode on iPad meant support for developer tools like compilers, bundlers, interpreters, bash scripts, etc.

> But the most significant thing about Swift Playgrounds 4, to the developers I spoke to, is what it indicates about Apple’s vision for the future of the iPad. To many, it is a hint that coding on iPads is a priority for Apple — and that “Xcode on iPad,” and perhaps a user interface that better complements it, might be on the way.

Maybe it is a hint for the future: Apple loves dipping their toes into things over multiple years. Shortcuts, for example, started out missing a ton of critical functionality that has been patched in in subsequent iOS updates, and it is slowly becoming useful in more situations. I'm okay with Swift Playgrounds becoming more powerful so long as we have the escape hatch we have on Mac (which we don't).

I'm worried that maybe the future is darker though; I'm worried Apple will reject all third party developer tools and only Xcode will have this capability of compiling and previewing apps. In that case, iPad development will never take off, even though it deserves to.

The answer to all of this is sideloading. But as they continue to remain hostile to that idea, I don't understand what their plan is to target the pro demographic of developers, who onboard new tools every month and have a very specific and unique workflow to get their job done.
What happened in ‘06?
Sadly the new Swift Playgrounds is not out yet, so nobody outside of Apple has had the chance to test it yet.
Bizarre. Absolutely works for me and always has. (iOS 14 atm. Worked since about 9.)
Reddit seems destined to follow in Digg's footsteps. The negative feedback on the reddit redesign and the reddit app has been building for years, and they continue to push it. The motivation is puzzling. Are executives knowingly pushing the need for advertising at the expense of users? Do Product managers have too much free time?

For anyone else annoying by the reddit redesign, you can use the Redirector chrome extension to fix it w/the following...

Herman Miller Mirra. Compared to the Aeron, it is stiffer and has better back support for sitting upright. It makes you feel "locked in". Great for work.
Dunno how many 3rd Party apps do this, but on iOS, Apollo has a share extension that lets you open the page in that App. It can’t claim Reddit URLs because of Apple’s limits on devs, but this is a decent workaround that keeps 3rd Party apps viable.
My mother passed away a few weeks ago. It was her wish to go with Recompose. She was a master gardener, and to her, the idea of returning to the ecosystem was so much better than cremation or a cemetery. Through Recompose, her 'soil' will be donated to a reforesting project.

As you can imagine, I've ruminated a lot on this lately. What's the purpose of a tombstone, or a plaque, or an urn full of ashes? To memorialize, or to honor someone who is gone? I don't need a monument for that. I spent a couple of hours yesterday propagating roses with my six-year old daughter, her grand-daughter. That's a better way to honor my mother, I think, and she would agree.

As old-world tradition and religiosity fade, we can all find our own new ways to do these things. This is 'meaning-making', an interesting term I learned recently.

Incidentally, her gardening buddies were intrigued to learn about human composting. I think Recompose is going to be big.
When I clicked on the link sent to me, it defaulted to the browser not Apollo which I prefer.
I'll agree that Macs have it pretty good, but to say 'Linux just works' with WiFi is a bold statement. Some Linux distributions work well, but when you have to fall back to the command prompt to do something as simple as connect to an enterprise WiFi network for a device as common as a raspberry pi [0] because there is no GUI, well.
I'll grant that at least the steps are moderately consistent.
Anecdotally, even on my Ubuntu laptop, at least once a year I lose WiFi and have to delve into some online forums to learn what just broke it.

I use both Linux (Ubuntu/Raspian) and Windows extensively and overall most things just work better on Windows, poor design philosophies aside.

If there are 100 tanks, and you get 1, 2, 5, and 99, your method would give 54 tanks ((1 + 2 + 5 + 99)/4 * 2), which is obviously wrong.

Your error is in stating "if we assume the captured serial numbers are randomly distributed" - you're assuming they're -uniformly- distributed. Randomly distributed != uniformly distributed.

Their method would give you 125 as a guess. It's including the known info (i.e., adding "m") to take into account the fact that they're not necessarily evenly distributed.

On that note, if you continued to get tanks at low numbers (3, 4, 6, etc), averaging gets -less- accurate, because that 99 becomes more and more of an outlier. Their method gets MORE accurate, again, because they're taking advantage of all data that is known (we know it goes at least to 99), and averaging doesn't. The new low numbers we've added mean that there are less likely to be many tanks, and the formula in the link takes that into account with m/k.

Both methods will be accurate if you have 100% of the data, but taking twice the average ignores known data, so the sparser the data the less likely it is to be correct.

I'm inclined to agree. I'm always wary of design refresh/update in operating systems and commonly used applications like Firefox, because more often than not, it means worse user experience and no perceptible benefit.

Your whole comment also rings true when "design" and "designers" are replaced with "software" and "programmers".
The article title is still misleading. The sensor fusion was the root cause of the malfunction, it was not the advanced control technique that was deployed to survive the anomaly.

Yes, a number of board members stepped down around that time, but a couple of those were coincidental timing.

Intel stopped using Pentium 4's NetBurst architecture and switched to Core derived from Pentium III

High power consumption and heat intensity, the resulting inability to effectively increase clock rate, and other shortcomings such as an inefficient pipeline were the primary reasons why Intel abandoned the NetBurst microarchitecture and switched to a different architectural design, delivering high efficiency through a small pipeline rather than high clock rates.

Sure, our ancestors (who could make their way and thrive in the wild) would probably consider me (who gets lost the moment I make a wrong right turn and depends on the local supermarket) a complete idiot, especially since I couldn't recreate any of the technology my daily life so depends on... But I've got central heating and clean tap-water, so I'm happy with the exchange.

The higher we climb the ladder of technological dependency, the more calamitous it becomes should we ever fall off. Best not to look down. (I think I'm supposed to bang rocks together to make fire, right?)
Relatively few people are probably looking for the perfect laptop. The average user might just want something cheap that does the basic tasks for them, and this is exactly where you will find more and more AMD CPUs.
Sounds like NN training that could be achievable. The problem comes with unit testing, because the minimal testable unit could be more complex than a function.
ZFS has all of these features and more. If I don't need those extra features by definition it's a less complex system.

Using composable tools is also better from a maintenance standpoint. If tomorrow SnapRAID stops working, I can replace just that component with something else without affecting the rest of the system.
This works in motorsports because on the circuit you don't need to use a large turn radius - it was stupid idea to put it in a road car for some childhood fetish.

Yeah, I agree: the bug here is humans building giant cities in the desert.
It’s intentionally built - the purpose is to funnel people into the app which has an extremely high ads to content ratio compared to the old site, or most other social media platforms.

Their design vision is: more ads, more user tracking, more selling of user data.

All of this to the detriment of the actual content, readability, and user satisfaction. They’re betting it doesn’t matter. I for one hope they’re wrong.
I like how the tabbed dialog to set the system path env vars is the same for 20 years, then if I open up the calculator and it's got a fancy new look and feel, that's good too.
Again, that’s not true. Control centre, or some incarnation of it, has been around at least since iOS 6. It just sounds like you haven’t used an iPhone for very long

In case you’re just entirely misunderstanding what we’re talking about, I’m referring to being able to turn off the wifi when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. This has been a feature since I’ve used an apple device, which is since iOS 5 or 6. Whether it’s been called “control centre” or not is irrelevant. That’s not even what I referred to it as in my first comment.
I'm 90% sure the second "not" is unintentional.

tl;dr we're not seeing much change over the past 18 months.
It was late.

PRC scholars warned new HK generations would culturally drift 10+ years ago. The fact that HK has existed in a national security state of exception for 20+ years, while simultaneously operating as a western spy hub outside of Chinese purview is fundamentally an untenable situation that no sane country should accede to.

Reality is PRC who has always had FULL legal authority over issues of foreign policy under 1C2S post handover and was unprecedentedly patient with HK, while HKers have never demonstrated reasonable accommodation for "one country" interests. Apple Daily's Jimmy Lai met with Pompeo & Pence during height of US/PRC rivalry (read: treason) is just one of the many symptoms of why this crack down was overdue.

Newer HK generations growing up on western textbooks were never going to be loyal. Currently tensions could have been mitigated if PRC rammed through patriotic education and NSL 10+ years ago instead of naively assuming an increasingly irrelevant HK relative to mainland would passively accept loss of privilege and integrate as just another mainland city. Expect newer gen of HKers under PRC cultivation to actually align with PRC interests. For CCP, resetting HK culture is the anecdote that was long recognized but administered too late.
I don't think this is gate keeping. Regardless of the terminology used within the field, the intended audience of this pop article will interpret "advanced" to mean actually unusual or at the cutting edge. Relying on the public's misinterpretation of jargon ought to be criticized.
> In China I’ve used the hospital system for a fairly serious physical injury and was treated very quickly, couple hours and I paid ~$600 rmb.

What does "~$600 rmb" mean? That '$' character is usually called a dollar sign. Do you mean "about US$ 600, but in Renminbi"; or are you just using the dollar sign as a general currency sign, to say "about 600 Renminbi"?

While it seems easy to dismiss it as just another car wash, Mister Car Wash really does feel like they have invented a better mouse trap in old and stale market and I am not surprised at all at the valuation.

I have never seen a touch-less version of a Mister Car Wash, but that is the only downside.

For what it is, it is by far better than any other automated car wash I have ever experienced (which is a lot). I have been an unlimited member for 3 years (full exterior and exterior package) and bounce around a few locations in my area.

Everything appears new and well-maintained and updated often, the staff are great, the facilities inside and out are clean, they are fast and efficient. The car wash actually cleans and dries you car very well. When I have the interior cleaned, they do a very good job at that too. Overall, the whole experience is so much better and cheaper than other options.

I could be wrong, but doesn't reddit make most of its money (which probably isn't that much) selling awards? It seems dumb to me, but people buy them.
The mobile design isn't puzzling at all. It's infuriating, but easy to see why they're doing it. They want to force everyone onto the app because it's easier for them to advertise on.

This, 100%.

1) Familiarize yourself with basic chair adjustments. Every high-end chair will have some combination of these.

2) Go to a furniture store (or used furniture store) and try out every chair. Don't forget to tinker with the adjustments.

I tried a variety of Herman Miller & Steelcase chairs, and somewhat surprisingly landed on an Amia. Not the most expensive chair they had in inventory, but it felt the best when dialed in. (And even better than the Leap V2s we had at an old job)

Does anyone know if this also means a draid can be expanded?
Yup, the basiv spec for this device intended to be used remotely should be summer in the Saudi desert, or at least Death Valley (in the same US state) - with solar heating also expected.

It's nice that they at least check & shut down to protect the device, but this shouldn't have made it out of the prototypes, nevermind Alpha or Beta testing...
It comes down to how Stripe handles payouts. I walked into the process thinking "This is going to be great! I can work with all the currecies that Stripe supports!" But, the reality is, to do payouts, you have to keep all the currency in the same country - so I had to craft both a US and Canadian business entity so that the banking could flow as they allow.

I do intend on bringing up more business entities in other countries but I am limited on my resources available to expand at this time.

What country are you in?

Thanks for the great feedback - keep it coming!
I wonder how they determine the server market share. It seems way too low given that over the last year, I see offers for AMD-based servers and vServers pop up everywhere at least in Germany. Many hosters support AMD as an option or as the only choice.
The average user might not a really know what a CPU is, keep on mind.
I think you know that heat waves are defined relative to the local climate. And recall that all but the southern part of Germany is north of the US-Canada border. AZ should be considered uninhabitable (in a sustainable sense) even outside of heat waves.
More of one big marijuana hailstone.
No. Not with profit margins that high compared to operational cost, it would not be an effective deterrent. They will just continue to hit as many targets as possible. You would end up punishing the victims.
What if they target some really critical infrastructure, where it would be rational to just pay and then fix the holes? Seek exemptions from law for each?

But it would be very interesting to see if the ransomware gangs can devise a scheme that gives the payer plausible deniability.
Assuming the technology will not be used for nefarious purposes seems incredibly naive
Got it - thanks, I'd never really considered that.
> Why do LGBT movements still exist in cultures that were/are very accepting of LBTQ individuals then?

Do you have examples in mind? I can't think of a single culture that accepts LGBT as much as non-LGBT. Even ones that are somewhat close only became that way in the past decade or two.

> Alternatively: why are they completely absent in the countries that need them the most?

Because being identified as LGBT could literally endanger your life in those countries.
The article's author has been dying to use this pun "You know what they say about reinventing the wheel—it's hardly ever a good idea." :-)
It's both funny and true at the same time.

I used to advertise my worth in how good my C++ is. Until I had a dumb after free error after git merging two adjacent line in the wrong order. A simple vector push done after capturing vector.begin instead of before. Nobody saw that in code review. Even reviews from C++ experts at the company. Of course it took 6 months until the first segfault. Invalidating 6 months of work. Rust would have not compiled. As simple as that.

Now imagine if you could write code without living in fear of making everything blow up because of a single moment of weakness. That's Rust for me.
Hahaha… yeah that’s probably a bigger concern.
It's also exactly where you will find absolutely nobody who makes a habit of running PassMark on their computer.

This graph more-or-less only measures the enthusiast Windows user market.
You might have more than one table in the database. For example, you could have a table of current owners for quick lookup and a table of all owners for full history.

For the current owners table, you'd use just the domain as a key. For all the full history table, you'd use domain + start date + end date as the key.

So yeah, that makes it a weird example, but the point is that in neither table did you make up a synthetic key. In one table, you used a real-world fact (domain) as the key, and in the other table you used three real-world facts (domain plus two dates) together as a key.
Maybe I'll change my tune when I hit 30, but we had Aerons at my $lastjob and while I liked it well enough, I now work from home in what is essentially a Lazy Boy welded onto rolling wheels, and it cost rather less.

I do have a sit/stand desk now too though, so whenever I feel like I've been sitting for too long I switch to standing for about 30 minutes. Maybe that helps too?
Interesting essay from 1944 about the steady rise of fascism, the perception of statistics vs personal experiences, State propaganda and what to (not?) believe..
Maybe I’m a curmudgeon. To me the browsing experience and content density is night and day favoring the old style.

On the app I get 2, maybe 3 posts per screen and at least 1 ad taking up 30% or more of the screen. I don’t see how that’s an objectively better user experience unless someone desperately needs glasses.

Another factor is that communities can’t use CSS to style their pages with the new site. /r/nfl for example is a thousand times better with their CSS than the few tools for differentiation Reddit provides.
It’s weird.

I guess as long as it “works”, i.e. as long as dirty tricks continue to increase certain metrics, we’ll see apps that use them.

Still, I’m surprised, because good UX seemed to be part of the core offering of this particular website.

Are they betting that the community won’t go anywhere? Do they want to attract so many new users that they don’t care about existing ones?
