Hah, yeah. I raised a mini Australian Shepherd from a puppy, and naively thought that experience had at least somewhat prepared me for parenthood.

(It didn’t. At all. It’s an insanely wild ride.)

These are neat, but solve a different problem than the hangers from the submission.

This is rad! I tend to find animation and motion design daunting; the step-by-step construction of the menu really helped me understand how something like this can be put together. Thanks for making this!

This seems... not true, as https://www.sqlite.org/appfileformat.html indicates it "automatically coordinates concurrent access to the same document from multiple threads and/or processes" (search for: "Concurrent Use By Multiple Processes").

Facebook's and Google's customers are advertisers, not end-users, no?

In general: try tapping the dots at the top of the app, or tapping the app's icon in the dock.

For Mail specifically: there's an icon in the lower-right of the sidebar that looks like two squares, one on top of the other- try giving tapping that.

  Is the Touch ID sensor the new power button?

Yep.

Took some time to figure out how to type these on a Mac:

1. Go to System Preferences => Keyboard => Input Sources

2. Add Unicode Hex Input as an input source

3. Switch to Unicode Hex Input (assuming you still have the default keyboard shortcuts set up, press Command+Shift+Space)

4. Hold Option and type 001f to get the unit separator

5. Hold Option and type 001e to get the record separator

6. (Hold Option and type a character's code as a 4-digit hex number to get that character)

Sadly, this doesn't seem to work everywhere throughout the OS- I can get control characters to show up in TextMate, but not in Terminal.

The site’s hosted on a machine in his house, and is served over a DSL connection.

He says Node and/or Pulsar are doing well enough (150 connections using ~50 MB of RAM and 40% CPU)- apparently he just doesn’t have enough bandwidth to get everything out to everyone.

Wait, could you help me grok that? The way I see DDP, it's more like "just" RPC + notifications. Where does the RESTfulness come from?

Now that I’m thinking about it:

What if you put one finger down to activate the interface, and tap with another finger (while still holding the first one on the display) to cycle through the menu?

This requires at least two fingers, but would allow for control of more settings, and would’t require you to remember how far apart your fingers need to be to get access to a control. You could have the car dictate the currently selected / active setting as you cycled through.

I really like the “one big button” idea!

Using different numbers of fingers to control different things is interesting- how would people with missing fingers use this?

Just wanted to say I loved the original Eliss.

Can’t wait to give this a shot later tonight!
