I'm in the same boat as you. I think the iPhone X was the last 'great' iPhone. 3D Touch is part of my daily routine. Yes, I know you can just hold and tap on the new phones, but can you weigh things on your screen (even if it's hysterically inaccurate!)?

Thank you so much. This is wonderful

How do you manage taxes? Have you dealt with a lawsuit?

This is a pretty important question. The themes are the main reason I continue to use Jekyll

I feel like this encourages a divide.

Would be nice to include an example of it in action :)

I don't mean to be pessimistic , but I wonder how you're going to be anything but reactionary to apples changes to the database. I've written a similar (much simpler) version of what you're proposing to sell- the database queries are hysterical.

I've been thinking about using the accessibility I framework to ETL the messages into Kinesis to facilitate event driven architecture. 'archived' Messages and attachments are stored as bsob.

Hell, I've even experimented with some goofy stuff, like FaceTime to VOIP- asterisk is just so flexible

Nice little surprise in CMD. Well done!

Amazing to add up the cost of these pictures. A single Tomahawk missile alone is between $1,537,645 and $1.87M[0].

Not exactly. It's worth the read, it's about 7 min. :)

I don't agree with the title at all. Detecting the auth level of access to photos is documented (PHAuthorizationStatus).

Google photos is simply refusing to let you use their app all unless you grant them access to view all of your photos.

I'm all for privacy -far beyond the average person- but this seems like one of those cases of uninstall it and move on if you don't agree with the product decision.

Fwiw: Not a fan of google. Currently on iCloud + Flickr for non-sensitive photos

This is very nice. Nice that PR's + credit to the Author's are included in the template. I've been using a similar site for a while: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Recipes

At the start of COVID, I walked in, and told them I was interested. Coincidently, they needed some networking help. We ended up trading some skills, and then I just kept coming in. I didn't take no for an answer, and they liked it. YMMV.

Actually, it's a little different. Using coolant is the norm even when doing mild steels. You can remove material quicker, your part remains cooler, and your tools remain cleaner.

There's even cuttings bits that have integral cooling (holes in the cutting surface).

It's all about the tools the shop has. Sapphire probes (edge finders) aid in a lot of the process. Mastercam allows you to simulate the machine process (and you can usually simulate it completely). Every shop is different – the shop I'm at here has a few lathes, robo-drills, 5th axis, and a few older pieces of hardware (which still are able to receive G-Code).

you should read the article my friend :)

I moonlight at a machine shop. I'm not a machinist, and I'm hardly a machine operator.

Machine shops need bodies to do a few things (some of which OP mentioned) loading materials, removing materials, changing broken cutting bits, cleaning the machines (especially if you're cutting something like magnesium).

Machine shops also need bodies to build jigs to hold pieces to the machine table while the machines remove material (think 5 axis pieces, especially).

Despite all of this – there's an amazing amount of automation at play. Tool changes, coolant, temperature monitoring, the list goes on. I'm currently building some automation hardware and software so we can start to fill the gap of 'dead' time where machinists are pressing buttons, loading in blanks, and are bored out of their minds.

It's such an interesting space.

Interesting.

I have an older LG TV (circa 2016 or so) which runs an older version of LG's WebOS. It has no ads, the TV's UI hasn't noticeably slowed. It's 4K. It's an excellent TV.

I catch myself thinking that I'll be in a conundrum when the TV eventually dies. It looks like new versions of LG's WebOS has ads every time you open it's 'dock'.

Yes, you can buy an AppleTV (or your preferred alternative) – but you'll always be scurrying to the TV's original remove for anything beyond on/off, or changing the volume. So you either keep two remotes around, or toss Apple's glass remote and use a universal remote.

Does it work? Sure. Is it elegant? Eh. How have you guys solved this?

I have some experience in Fintech. I wrote the translation layer between financial cores and a RESTful API (essentially wrapper logic). D+H, Fiserv, BottomLine, all provided us integration documentation which allowed us to preform actions (transfer funds between accounts, get balances, etc.) and it wasn't _too_ bad.

I do remember one particular core that was surprising difficult. Everything was encoded in EBCDIC. You had to rotate telnet (!) connections depending on the day of the week. There was one person (a man named Earl) who could help you if you had a problem with the continuous stationary documentation (luckily it was scanned).

Oh the memories...

You're correct on all fronts. Domain driven design, POROs- all of it. I bet you maintain something nice!

This is a really cute and informative page. Bravo

You'll see outlets installed 'correctly' (with ground being the highest pin) in hospitals. I've heard that the explanation for their most common orientation is because of our fascination with faces. I'm sure there's a better reason – but I do think it attributes to it.

Nice job. I'll take a look at your project and see if I can contrib

Funny, I've actually spent a good amount of time tearing apart the iMessage database back in 2016-2017. The queries you end up with are hilarious. Here's one from my website's sample code

```

INNER JOIN chat_message_join ON message.ROWID = chat_message_join.message_id INNER JOIN chat ON chat.ROWID = chat_message_join.chat_id INNER JOIN chat_handle_join ON chat.ROWID = chat_handle_join.chat_id INNER JOIN handle ON handle.ROWID = chat_handle_join.handle_id LEFT JOIN message_attachment_join ON message.ROWID = message_attachment_join.message_id LEFT JOIN attachment ON attachment.ROWID = message_attachment_join.attachment_id ...

```

But it really wasn't that hard. I was able to programmatically send and receive iMessages. The problem (as the author pointed out) was that this changed, and didn't really work for the long. Although, I'm sure it could still be reveng'd – it's a pain in the ass, and (for me) not really worth it... =/

Very cool! Do you plan to open source it? I'm curious what it looks like :)

Great job'
