I believe the open source Swift versions are not supposed to have any check fixes. They are not the ones that are run on Apple OSes and probably never will be. They’re more meant to help Linux and other non Darwin platforms adapt. Which kinda sucks because it means the repos are a little lacking.

With the craziness of Js build tools and build configurations, I love seeing how different project stuff use it. I like how they use both webpack and rollup and even name the rollup export as “for-future”.

I write a lot of isomorphic libraries for work and it’s not as easy as one might think it is.

I enjoy reading libraries like this because git is seemingly ubiquitous. It’s used more than any project I will ever make. And although I know C and C++, it’s source is kinda hard to approach.

Js on the other hand is not for me so I can get a better sense about how it is that git works. I want to see how these fundamental tools are written so I enjoy these ports (even if they’re not perfect).

I think they’d like to possibly but there are concerns. I have had trouble with vanity tlds and I can imagine with google being so ubiquitous, there could be so many issues.

And also security. I know there’s an implicit trust of .com and so I wonder if seeing just google will lead to people thinking it’s safer. I have Metcalfe.rocks and more than once I’ve had people try Metcalfe.rocks.com

This is awesome. I was looking for this a few weeks ago and found a library I don’t love. This feels right for Typescript and I’m going to add it to a big project like immediately. Great job to the authors!

I speak Irish pretty well and Duolingo I think is a fantastic tool to get better and learn some new words that I didn't no. (Neither my dad nor I knew portán meant crab). The issue is that pronunciation in Irish is kinda varied but the lady who does it for Duolingo is on some extreme. The majority of Irish speakers would not pronounce things that way in the slightest and it would be misleading for someone who learned on the app to actually try and speak it as I'm not sure I would understand them

I wonder if they had one now, only for cigarettes, how many kids would do it and withstand the social humiliation that exists with teenagers around smoking cigarettes.

They may never release it but no doubt they have it. There are iMacs in Cupertino running macOS on ARM and there are iPads running macOS. During the PPC transition it was pretty obvious that Apple had been building OS X to work on Intel for a while secretly.

I find a lot of great music from Beats 1. That’s a different discovery mechanism that really badly takes some getting used to but I really love it. Curated Playlists in many ways feel over saturated at the moment, and grow stale. (Their design doesn’t help at showing you recently updated playlists). The 3 ML generated playlists are hit and miss. Favorites is fantastic, New Music is usually pretty good but suffers badly from time interval confirmation bias. Chill, it’s hard to say bc I don’t find the use case (“Chill”) to be what I want when I chill.

I’m not a designer but I’ve thought a lot about this just cuz I find it interesting from a data organization POV and I like music. I think Apple deserves some credit in terms of this. Music.app is no iTunes but ask Siri who plays the drums and her answer is great. It’s bad at the difference between Studio Album and album of 1 song/remixes etc. if you have an idea how you’d like it laid out I would be interested to see.

Personally I don't use it much, but then around the Olympics I checked it out and now use it every single day. It's fantastic.

Yea I really liked your post because of that focus. I use variation all calculus quite a lot for non-programming stuff and it’s really allowed me to understand things like NNs way better and I think so many other programmers could benefit from a small bit of it.

There is a bit of masking probably going on with a boat’s flag’s origin. Maritime law is a strange game and thy can get away with a lot of shady stuff if they pick some obscure countries as their “home”

I just don’t see where Samsung is going with this. To me, iPhone and Pixel really beautifully fill the market for as phone of this price range.

As a physicist I really really enjoyed this. Really cool. I have a swift library (using Foundation’s Measurement API) that I use for so much of my calculations and the one really important thing that has helped me solve problems is the type system. Units are types and I see a lot of young physicists students make mistakes where if they just looked at the units they’d have gotten it right. Physics is some sense just dimensional analysis. This library would be great if it were able to add unit types to really ensure that people understand _why_ a formula is the way it is.

Why I don’t like it is 3 fold: 2 major and 1 minor. The first is that my friend list is 1. Person I just Snapped 2. Person I just Snapped 3. Person I haven’t talked to in forever (but just posted to their story) 4. Person I haven’t talked to in forever ...

And there will be times I snap a person and go back on the friends list and their gone! Like they just don’t show up anywhere I have to search them to see if they opened my snap.

Second is that I have people (like family) who I don’t snap much but still look at their stories. In the new version I actually have to search them all Individually which is awful.

Third is minor but I find the friends list cluttered and difficult to process. Stories, Streaks, message notifications, scores, Bitmoji, names all cluttered into one single line item.

I recently got to meet a fields medalist who will remain nameless but he mention a really really interesting statistic. No Field’s medalist has ever been the mentor to another Field’s medalist. I (my opinion here not his) think that this glorifies these young mathematicians who never go onto mentor or yield another similarly gifted mathematician. We should be finding great mathematicians who discover great math collaboratively.

While I’d agree with you I’d submit that a lot of the science community has odd feelings about Bill Nye so I can see how that can exacerbate people into writing things like this. Maybe they wouldn’t normally believe that and would agree with you but this circumstance changed that. Idk

Born in London and lived there til I was 3 but I’m American and it rated me once as 53% American and another time as 37% American. I know I say a few words differently but not that differently.

I was agreeing with you as I read these replies but then I thought of what would actually happen if Apple Music raised their prices. I think I would stay. All the music and likes/dislikes that it has about me are a pain to move. And also I really value Beats 1 and that is worth the price raise to me alone. So maybe we really are creatures of habit.

This is probably going to be focused on lower performance apps but for those talking about video editors it may be important to point out that though the iPad is insanely powerful, it's not as strong at doing long term high performance tasks. Not like a laptop anyways.

I have a pretty good understanding of economics but what makes market and limit alone responsible for a price jump. When matching orders were allowed yesterday didn't the price also jump? Thanks.

Did anyone not expect this? For example, I believe they may add Ripple next so I have made moves into Ripple knowing the price will spike if they add support. What's to prevent Coinbase employees to do the same?

There are 2 parts of the apps. There's model layer and view layer. The model layer is a pain to bring over because certain model objects (UIColor) are only on one platform. So if they make changes to ease that then making a mac app will become way easier.

The other problem is that AppKit is not as nice or as easy to use as UIKit in my experience. If they can bring these two frameworks together under shared functionality that would be great. For example, template Master-Detail from iPhone to iPad is great (and you can always customize). So having that extend to macOS would make mac development easier. I imagine this is what they are planning.

The third idea is they are thinking of something greater yet separate that is not meant for existing apps. Like a new UI Framework that works on both. This seems hard to believe as they have the iOS app base and the goal is to bring that over to mac not start a new app base altogether.

I too have been playing with color quantization as an exercise so I won't like at your library as I've been trying to do it all on my own and don't want to see other approaches yet, but here he is not quantizing them so his is going to be faster. Also there really is a trade off in trying to reduce the number of pixels and then clustering versus just clustering on them all. How many times you loop and how much those loops costs isn't as cut and dry as I thought.

This is such a good point. Apple Music (and Spotify) are pouring money into people who stay on the beat. To this day this is still very analog (which in many ways is a good thing). But when your Apple or Google or whomever you must see the power of using basic statistics to do some part of this. (You could use ML too but that is super overkill most likely).

I don't know that sounds very cool, but it really just seems like a waste of power. I can't think of the last time I would want that.

Rails is still a truly incredible framework and it still moving very fast in terms of development. It’s front end stuff has always felt wrong to me and many others and we found weird ways to doing what we wanted. Rails 5 added support for a lot of them as the article points out but it still feels complicated.

Rails is awesome bc it’s opinionated but the fact that it’s ruby still lets you do what you want. I think rails needs to really dedicate some effort to better generators that ask which of these modern front end approaches do you want to use and then setup the project to just work and let me get to my coding.

Yup something to do with mdworker IIRC.

I’ll give Apple one full more year and see where Mac goes. Their hardware products are truly incredible...minus Macbook /Pro. And I personally love Apple Music over Spotify but I know many disagree.
