They don’t seem to do it anymore, but for a while the title on Disneyland.com would kinda sparkle in HDR when you loaded it on the right hardware/sodtware (safari on MacBook Pro for example). Was actually pretty subtle and animated out so it was more of a “wait, did I just see that?” sort of thing.
Don't you think the next step is a programming language that isn't even meant to be human readable? What's the point of using an LLM to generate python or Swift or whatever? The output of the LLM should be something that runs and does whatever it's been asked to do... why should the implementation be some programming language that was designed for humans to grok? Once that's true the idea of it being maintainable becomes moot, because no one will know what it is in the first place. I don't think we're there yet, but that seems like the eventual destination.
For me, the killer app for me has been sidecar… I work from home, and like to work outside in the summer. I’ve been using my MacBook Pro and my iPad as a second display via sidecar.
One unadvertised feature of this is that you can use the pencil as a mouse on your Mac in this configuration, which is handy for virtual whiteboard type stuff on your Mac where you’d normally be stuck with a mouse.
You need to define the room in Alexa ecosystem then this works fine. You tell it a room, and what devices are in it, then it’s “smart” about it. Don’t have Hue specifically, but Alexa doesn’t import room springs from other ecosystems I’ve used, you have to redefine them.
Any source of what brands/varieties are smoked vs not?
I’m able to get quite a few types imported from South America, but from my attempts at translating the packaging and trying to Google things, I can’t tell what’s smoked or unsmoked.
Came to say this, happy that someone else did. It changed my life. I now have a graveyard of weird ergonomic devices and wrist arm braces, and can happily code all day on my laptop keyboard in any position. A few years ago I couldn’t write 2 lines without excruciating pain.
Start with `git rebase -i` to clean it up (reorder/squash), then create new branches and `git cherry-pick` the related commits into 3 branches. Submit PR/MR for those...
At least, that’s what I’d do. Curious to hear other ideas.
You need to use either the built in Mac client or something like Remotix if you’re using Windows. Every other vnc client I’ve tried performs terribly as you say.
This is amazing! With this codec and enough processing power, you could do this bidirectionally and have enough bandwidth to stream a two way realtime voice chat using 2400bps modems over a standard analog phone line!!! ... Oh... Wait a minute...
I don't know about it being so easy for someone with an actual impairment...
My only experience was with my mother, who recently passed away from a stroke. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in her early 60s.
I have no trouble believing this easy test would be impossibly hard for someone with dementia, even in the early stages. At the beginning, my mom seemed fine to anyone she'd meet, yet would routinely not know what day of the week it was. She'd cover for it by saying things like "since I don't work, every day seems like Saturday". She probably would have failed the test right there.
It's using SSE as well... there are a few ways to do it, here's an example https://github.com/neilco/EventSource/ I'm doing something quite similar in swift, had I known about this, I probably would have just dropped it in!
Every player uses their own phone and that part is just straight JavaScript.
> Now that we know we don't need the up and down arrow keys, what about the left and right? Unfortunately, these keys are still needed for single character movements
My experience was almost identical to the author's. As improbable as it sounds, reading the book and following it's advice completely eliminated my RSI pain after 3 years of dr visits (steroid cream), physiotherapy (tens, ims, massage, art, etc), and every ergonomic input device I could get my hands on failed to help. My RSI was starting to bother me even when I wasn't at a keyboard, to the point where it hurt to drive. I'm the last person I would have ever expected to use some "new age" treatment, yet as soon as I started to read the book, my pain lessened and was 100% gone within a month. I strongly agree with the author's premise about emotions playing a role in this, and in my case the onset of RSI corresponded with a very stressful time in my life.
Maybe this won't be the case for you, but it certainly was for me. I can once again type on a normal keyboard all day with no pain. 2 years ago I would have never believed this possible. If you're in a similar situation, you should give it a shot. It costs nearly nothing, and has helped many people (read the book's reviews on Amazon).
This cured me of 3 years of horrible RSI pain. I did go to Doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists and had anti-inflammatory creams, you name it. Nothing worked for more than a couple days... and this was a last resort. I wish I would have tried it sooner, but I doubt I would have given it a shot if I wasn't desperate.
Then buy the book and read it. It'll cost you less than an MS Natural Keyboard, not to mention all the other crap (wrist braces, heating pads, etc etc).
Assuming RA would have been able to license it for the same price, they would have to charge $7 for the feature to make up the difference, which is pretty steep on the App store. The bigger question is: Would Apple give them a license? My gut says no, not for an iOS application, but who can say?
I asked on the "under the microscope" blog if Apple mentioned licensing at all in what little communication they've had... I noticed RA never seems to mention licensing, not sure if it's an intentional omission or just coincidence. They had to know going into this that they were playing with fire using the leaked key.
If Apple does claim the removal was over non-public APIs, I think they're being disingenuous. I can't believe a developer like RA would be doing that knowingly or not.
That's my point. Isn't getting the private AirTunes key equivalent to the DeCSS case?
If Apple had just made a proprietary undocumented protocol, that'd be one thing, and I'd agree that Apple wouldn't be able to force licenses on people. Absent the private key, there wouldn't be anything to stop you.
However, they made a proprietary protocol, sold licenses to use it and implemented a key enforce the license. Isn't circumventing the private key equivalent to circumventing copy protection? They obviously intended to restrict it to licensees, the way the DVD people intended to restrict CSS to licensees.
Wasn't there some case where printer manufacturers were doing something to stop 3rd parties from making cheaper ink/toner? How did that go? Maybe it's a more apt comparison (for the record, I honestly don't remember how this case turned out, so I don't know if I'm helping or hurting my argument).
I did put stolen in quotes every time I used it because I'm not sure that is the correct term.
Here's how I see it. AirPlay is something Apple sells a license to. Assume Rogue Amoeba didn't buy a license, but used someone else's, and then sold the functionality that buying the license would have entitled them to.
What's that? Piracy? DMCA violation? Within Rogue Amoeba's rights? I don't know. Is Apple allowed to lock things down by requiring keys? Maybe they're in the wrong.
To me, this is similar to trying to sell software that uses DeCSS to play DVDs rather than licensing CSS. Regardless of my opinion, it doesn't seem to be legal (in the US, anyway).
Is that legitimate? If so, how is it different than other forms of piracy?
