Maybe in the US you don‘t need to mandatory register a phone number with a valid id, in most of the world you have to. If anyone can require the phone company to reveal your identity, it‘s the government.
Can someone please clarify? Deep down I hope that "home screen apps" means something else than the recently added support for PWAs...
Does this mean PWAs will not work anymore on iOS?
I believe that there are still a lot of interesting, non-commercial websites out there. I just can‘t find them anymore. SEO dominates literally every search I try. I also tried Bing, DuckDuckGo, you.com and many more - same result.
I think a search engine that excludes every website with google analytics, ad networks and amazon affiliate links would be great. Anyone know of such a thing?
Yet they sold me one of those space pens in the cape canaveral visitor center in 2000…and it‘s a really good pen, works as advertised upside-down, and is still working. I like to use it when I sign important papers.
Hmm it won‘t start on a High Sierra iMac after the update. It did before, happened to play it just 3 hours ago :) Guess they didn’t do a lot of testing on 10+ year old hardware, CRT or not.
Seek. Medical. Attention.
God I still love this game. The welcome speech of the Mark IV. How the scientist talk to each other, and how different the talk is when they speak with guards. How they first hope for a government rescue which decides to kill any and all in black mesa. How fearsome those black assassins are. That you can tickle that insect-bomb thing. In my opinion, HL2 felt much more scripted and less lively. No mention of a recompile for Intel 64bit Macs though.
It seems we are so amazingly primitive that we still think touch screens are a pretty neat idea for anything.
But I’m sure analog controls will come back at some time in the future: First in really expensive cars, as expression of luxury. Only cheap cars will still have the cheap touch screens. Slowly, the old new way of interaction will trickle down to anything else.
Like it went for the digital watch, ubiquitous for a short time, then a return to analog. Although those Casios seem to have a retro-retro comeback lately. I think even real keyboards might be a cool feature of future high-end smartphones.
I just got an Apple TV and got crazy with the unintentional swipes and touches. Then I discovered you can turn that off, to click-only. It‘s much better now, maybe that helps you too.
Same here - my iPad 3 was used by me and then 2 children growing up. It's still working perfectly fine and has even decent battery life. But the app store shows a blank page, and even if it wasn't, all recent apps have a higher minimum iOS version (edit: because recent versions of Xcode will only build against recent iOS versions). And Apple is actively removing apps from the app store that haven't been updated in a while. So the hardware is still fine, but there is no software available anymore and no way to sideload.
> If you want to stay in the game, you have to develop for the newest devices
Even if you don't care, you have to upgrade to the latest Xcode to build against the latest iOS version with the cascade of consequences you described so well.
I do. Not only because I don‘t want to rewrite my apps but because for me Objective-C is beautiful and better to read than any other language I tried. I never saw the point of learning a new language to implement the same things. The only benefit I could see was for Apple, pushing me a bit farther into their ecosystem which is incompatible with anything else. When it became obvious that Swift was the way to go I switched to js / hybrid app development for new projects. This seems to also die out now, but I‘m still sticking to it.
I have a few hand-written node apps with a small express API.
Can I deploy those on elest.io without having to worry about the underlying OS and its security and network setup? That would be very interesting for me. Kind of like a simple and cheap webhoster with php: Upload your files, forget about the rest. Is it that what you offer?
Many public or semipublic institutions like local and federal government, police, public transport made regular announcements there and sometimes only there. Hopefully this practice will change now that they see that it can become non-public in an instant. Citizens shouldn‘t be required to subscribe to large, private, foreign media companies to see announcements of their own government.
Never heard of that before, would like to try.
Does someone have any specific brand or shop recommendations for toe socks?
EDIT: It’s nice from the author to specifically say that he won’t support big toe sock. However, this is maybe the first time that I would have appreciated Amazon referrals :)
Quake is/was a multiplayer game with a single player mode attached for initial training.
Or, from a mod creators perspective, a 3D engine with a demo mode for what was possible. Qtest1, the “demo” that came out a few weeks before release, was multiplayer only.
I meant that every cancer diagnosis is done by a pathologist who describes the looks of the cell/tissue and is trained to assign a cancer classification to it. This is currently changing to genetic testing where the underlying mutation (that is causing the tissue changes) is identified. AFAIK the tissue classification is still the gold standard for most cancer types, but I am positive that this will be completely replaced by the new methods. Medicine will not put the cells under a microscope anymore but into a DNA analyzer instead.
I don’t think that‘s modern, it was the same in the centuries and millenias before. Unless you were born into the 1% upper class, you were ruled by them with random degrees of benevolence. I would argue that although you could say that this hasn’t changed much, everyday life for most of us ruled subjects is equal or better in almost every respect, for example being able to write this comment to you, my fellow underling.
> They all literally share the same DNA, they can't be that different.
They share the same DNA in the sense that every cell in that body does. But the different types of cancers have different mutations per cell type and the increasingly precise identification of those is the basis of the recent new treatment options. Histological classifications become less and less relevant, instead mutations and subtypes of mutations give directions for treatment paths. So I think that statement is a bit confusing.
