Years ago, Apple banned Camera+ for allowing to take a photo with the volume switch (instead of using an onscreen button). It was "too confusing" and against their Human Interface Guidelines. Then they added that exact feature to the default iOS camera app.
24 was perhaps a bad number to choose, since I read that as 24 hours - which seemed a bit hasty. They could have written "November 9, 2022" or "two years" which seems further into the future.
Maybe i had low expectations, but i was impressed with homepod siri's understanding and how much it could do. I don't know why Apple doesn't just publish a list of all the commands. I documented what i found if anyone is interested:
Or it backfires when people realize their newly purchased, expensive car doesn't do what they thought it could do. Tesla is not managing expectations well.
Maybe people are only just now starting to see Apple's intentions of locking down their system. I remember it being a bad omen a few releases back when i found i could no longer (easily) delete the Chess.app.
This was the one of the wonderful bit of insights from the suprisingly deep and insightful show "Bojack Horseman". Basically, there is is no such thing as "deep down inside i'm a good person". You are your actions.
I feel your pain. But ideally, once the PR code is merged, the end result should be solid code. Anything you write at a hackathon is fake/barely-functional throwaway code that only exists for the demo at the end. There's no architecture, no error checking, and just no time for anything elegant or any real insight into your problem space.
I initially loved React, but i eventually feel out of love due to the complex tooling required to use React (e.g. configuring webpack, evaluating data store options, evaluating form options)
If you're interested in a fresh, lighter, framework-free approach, have a look at svelte: https://svelte.dev/ I'm using it on a current project and loving it so far.
As someone who still uses a `birthdays.txt` file in their home directory... i fail to see any advantage to this setup. And a significant disadvantage would be losing the ability to tab-complete the note names.
Berlin has 431k street trees. Toronto has 11 million trees (including presumably ravines and natural areas) - and I'm sure other cities have similar amounts. Why do you think Berlin has the most trees?
If only the iOS date picker wasn't so fiddly and annoying to use.
Also, in the calendar app, when creating an event, i carefully select the date and time, and then i scroll down to set an alarm - and about half the time, the date picker takes my scroll so i lose the date i just entered. So annoying.
I remember that article too! I used the same technique to make a convincing, non-duplicating flame-flicker algorithm for an led. 3 variables, all looping to different prime numbers and the sum of the 3 variables was the led intensity.
