I’d rather let those 2 problems play out than prematurely killing off huge numbers of humans. Was this a joke?

Did you have any symptoms leading up to it? Perhaps you were wearing an Apple Watch?

Lmao exactly. This argument seems absurd - just steal the car it’s not like she was driving a lambo

which has never made any sense to me - what's different about a read-only FS that would make me want every single navigation action to open a new window?

Who cares what it was / wasn't part of. The majority of people in HK don't want to be part of China. That's all that matters.

> We Chinese eventually will get rid of CCP, but we don't want the great nation get split.

Dude, what? HK hasn't been part of China for years. What possible justification could you have for re-integrating it. This isn't about preventing a split, this is about undoing a split, and destroying a democracy in the process.

For someone who is anti-CCP, you don't seem to empathize with the people in HK who tasted democracy and have had it ripped away.

Good on them for building things the right way for each platform. I'd love to hear more about how they architect things on the iOS side!

I'm guessing this is common API design in the world of C libraries? Coming from Swift / other high-level languages, it seems awfully error-prone to have to call an API multiple times, sometimes with null arguments, sometimes with pointers to buffers that hopefully are the right size, just to process some data. Programmer errors / misinterpretation of the documentation leading to programmer errors seems inevitable.

I built `HorizonCalendar` https://github.com/airbnb/HorizonCalendar - an iOS calendar / date picker component that can display huge date ranges without sacrificing CPU / memory performance. It also has a declarative API that enables easily customizing all sorts of visual / behavioral aspects.

It's used for pretty much every calendar in the Airbnb app besides some legacy ones that we haven't ported over yet, so check it out if you're building something that needs a date picker component that's super customizable!

I’m working on this for iOS - I’ve recorded a daily voice memo journal for the last 1155 days, and when I finish the app, I’ll import all of them and let the speech to text take place.

My goal is to have a searchable record of my life, and a good excuse to reflect on my days. I’ll keep you posted!

Is it actually correct to say “they’ve better plans”? It only sounds correct if “they’ve” (they have) is followed by a verb, like “they’ve _sold_ their house” or “they’ve _tried_ their best.” I’ve never heard someone say “they’ve a Tesla” to say “they have a Tesla,” so I would assume this title is wrong for the same reason.

The best for who? This is a ridiculous take, nobody wants to roll their own TV UX except HN users looking for a weekend project.

What usability / long-term reliability perk does your own software running on a RPI have over an Apple TV plugged into a dumb TV / monitor?

Www

Seems like a conspiracy theory. Apple has years of experience creating products that people love at all different price points (original iPhone was crazy expensive, for example).

If the product is legitimately better than everything else on the market, it doesn't matter how expensive it is on initial launch.

Sure, but the impact you’re having has the potential to reach many orders of magnitude fewer people. It’s a trade off, and I personally wouldn’t feel a sense of superiority.

Perhaps a dumb question, but why don't things like signed pointers prevent this? Are they just not that good of a security measure?

Here's the thing, Apple, for better or for worse, dictates what looks good and what doesn't. These are clearly a technical downgrade from AirPods, but I'd also argue these are a fashion / status downgrade as well.

To me, this is the kind of thing you'd see in a kid's spy kit toy. It's tacky, and in my opinion, destined to fail hard - if they even make it to market.

1 in every hundred billion... is that low enough odds to be cosmic rays?

I definitely don’t think it was your intention to send a “this is a male’s job” message, but some readers might interpret it that way (even subconsciously) if we use language like “software guys” instead of software developers. There are definitely women working in all of these areas, and hopefully many more in the future!

It would be great if you could link to a recording that you think could induce this state, given that you’re an expert in this field! If I’m left to search on my own I’m not sure I’ll find the correct recording.

The author doesn't seem to be that annoyed, they're just trying to make life easier for themselves and others.

It's equally polite to say "Hello" and type the question in the same message. Do you genuinely not see how saying "Hello" first, which for many people forces them to lose concentration as they mentally prepare to be asked a question, is worse? The author provides multiple, equally polite examples that respect people's desire to politely greet others and respects the concentration of the receiver.

Simply not true. What is your source?

Is clicking allow when it asks to access your documents folder that crazy? Is that really a hoop not worth jumping through? Those prompts show up after a clean install and on occasion when you install a new app. Those same prompts prevent you from giving ransomware access to your whole FS.

> The internet is reasonably open and accessible on iOS, but utilizing the full capability of an iOS device requires the App Store.

As it should be. If people want open and crazy, then they can flounder around on the web and try to get it to do what native apps do. That's their problem and Apple shouldn't have to bend over backwards to support that route. Developers get to make a choice - make a web app, or make a native app that gets all the benefits of Apple's curated ecosystem. As a consumer and developer, I'll take the latter any day. Others feel differently, and can choose Android.

You literally just right click and open. Hardly a hoop.

I've visited this place once. My girlfriend and I drove out quite a ways - the salt flats are prettier / more reflective, like what you'd see in popular Instagram posts, once you drive for 5 minutes away from the road that everyone parks on.

A storm was approaching from the direction that we came. I was counting the time between the rumbles of thunder and the strikes of lightning. It was about 5-10 seconds, which was close enough for me to rush back into the car after getting a couple of nice pictures.

My girlfriend and I parked our car toward the storm and watched for about 10 minutes. About half a mile back the way we came, we saw lightning strike the middle of the flats. It must have vaporized some of the mud / salt on the ground because there was a clear line of smoke coming up from that part of the ground. I was surprised that it struck a completely flat part, rather than our metal SUV, since we were definitely the tallest things around.

I insisted that we drive back, because despite knowing that we'd be relatively safe in a car, I wasn't looking to experience an electrical fire or, at a minimum, the worst jump-scare of my life. As I drove back to the parking lot, what shocked me the most was seeing people still out taking pictures back near the parking lot from which we came. The lightning strike occurred between our car and the people out taking photos, which means they were easily in striking distance. I was honestly scared I would witness someone get struck - these are salt _flats_ - anyone out taking photos is the tallest thing in the area for several miles.

What leaks? This article is just speculation, and provides no additional information about a future "radical" MBP.

Just tried it, and the difference between Twitter native and Twitter PWA is night and day. The PWA has absolutely 0 polish. No animations, no transitions, nothing. The tab bar at the bottom misses hits if you tap quickly / right after the PWA opens. The pull-to-refresh doesn't use the native scroll physics. The search tab's tab bar horizontal scrolling can interfere / combine with the vertical scrolling, causing really funky interactions.

Does it browse twitter? Yes. Is it good? Well, maybe if all you ever uses are PWAs, this is considered "good."

I hate to say it but this just demonstrates, all in one place, how far behind PWAs are from native apps. Does anyone have an example of a PWA (hosted here or elsewhere) that rivals the best apps seen in native app stores? I’m talking about beautiful animations, native-feeling navigation, and an overall immersive, cohesive experience?

The year we get Xcode on iPad is likely the same year that we get a general sandboxed terminal / developer environment IMO.
