Apple is a generally more well run, mature, patient, and scrupulous company than most others.

If this trend results in more miniseries versus long-winded, open-ended season after season that go nowhere, I’m all for it.

Very excited to see Infini-D. Hands down the most Macintosh-esque 3D rendering software ever created.

Especially if she was “completely unrousable.” Sounds like something y’all need to address.

The lead engineer, Gerald Bull, sounds like a real piece of work. He just really really wanted to make big guns!

Ah yes, New Zealand, that crime-ridden hellscape. Makes RoboCop’s Detroit look like Singapore.

He eventually came to see the airport as his home, and remained even after he was no longer bound there. Atrocity Guide has the story https://youtu.be/JQfXd1YlkS4

Every rebranding ever has been lambasted by armchair design critics.

(Apologies for the flame war quality to this comment, I’m genuinely just expressing an observation)

It’s ironic that Apple is often backhandedly complimented by hackers as having “good hardware” when their list of software accomplishments is amongst the most impressive in the industry and contrasts sharply with the best efforts of, say, Microsoft, purportedly a “software company.”

Toolbars are not the same thing as making your site accessible. In a lot of cases they simply replicate, poorly, that which is already provided by the browser and OS and don’t address fundamental problems like keyboard access and screen reader support. They are mainly a device to CYA.

Does anyone else find all the little AI-powered non sequiturs and nonsensical points as funny as I do?

Blocked by ad blockers. A good vaporware joke, nonetheless!

The story of this invention is told in the book Copies in Seconds, which details how difficult and outlandish a concept xerography was at the time. It's almost hard to believe that Carlson stuck with it for so long.

The past is shrouded in mystery, but the evidence is overwhelming for ancient people having had pots.

Since 2012, through the eras of Photoshop, Sketch, InVision, XD, Figma, and whatever else, I've been using Antetype: https://www.antetype.com

For me, it's been a 10x tool since it was always the only piece of software that was designed from the ground up as a UI design tool, rather than being some other kind of app that was pressed into service for UI design. Auto-layout, responsiveness, and flexible components that can be edited per instance without breaking their link to the master component are all features that were present from day one rather than being awkwardly bolted on.

And yet they are my bestest screen friends of all

No rubber.

These are the absolute worst DALL-E images I've seen. Do people generally just share the amazing ones and most of the output is actually complete shite? Like Instagram presenting the top 1% of people's lives.

Yep, Steve Jobs famously banned Easter eggs and dismantled the icon garden at 1 Infinite Loop.

The lack of large plazas and walkable streets in the US really bums me out. I wish I was European, there I said it.

The new dinosaurs documentary on Apple TV+ portrays velociraptor as feathered, but T-Rex still looks like an old school "terrible lizard"

Are we going to end up overbuilding our EV infrastructure because people don’t intuitively grasp that most of their charging can be done at home?

Serious question: what's another place in the US with mild year-round weather, walkable neighborhoods (haven't driven a car in 12 years), and easy access to an international airport? That's what SF offers me. The "SF is an unlivable hellhole" drumbeat is so loud that I almost feel compelled to move (my own experience be damned), but I'm not sure where to.

Loved Songza. Best music discovery I’ve encountered.

I’m always fascinated by “vanished” history/technology. We think we have a general understanding of what happened up until now, but so much has come and gone without leaving an indelible footprint.

Kids will find a way in even the worst conditions. This documentary series, “Most Dangerous Ways to School”, is mind blowing.

It’s a myth invented by moms trying to get their kids to eat the crust.

Fruits and vegetables good, got it.

Have economic sanctions ever succeeded in altering the behavior of authoritarians? It pretty much always just ends up impoverishing the normal people of a country, which authoritarians do not care about.

In general, any trait associated with a given gender is more attractive the more "saturated" that trait is in a representative of that gender. Men generally have deeper voices, are taller, more muscular than women, so the more of that trait a man has, the more attractive it is. In woman, I'm sure you can fill in some traits. Of course, there is an upper limit on any such trait where at a certain level it becomes grotesque. Women like men who are manly, and vice versa. In general.
