agree with this - I think the tech part of fitness+ here is cool (i.e better data and overlays on screen) However i'm not rushing to switch from my zoom classes where the instructor can see and correct form as well as personalize movements and intensity, because we've built the history and knowledge over time.

Agree, I did mine around 8 years ago, and I have halos around street lights when driving at night. I'm absolutely still glad I did it, and I would do it again if/when my eyes ever get worse someday.
there's a settings flag you can add to stop those internal debug messages, which I believe started in the XCode 8 Beta. It is pretty annoying that this not clearly mentioned or toggle-able in the UI
I was highly skeptical, but as of the past few months i use it more than FB and Instagram.
What I found was the limited and spontaneous nature of snapchat works well because it is much less formal and easy than a Facebook or Instagram post that I have to "compose".
I.e, i can take a silly picture of my dog and put a sticker on it and fire it out there, without having to worry about shot composition/hashtag use (Instagram), or content/grammar (FB)
I see the IMO very dismissive "competitive Starcraft sucks now" sentiment being repeated all over the internet. While it is smaller than say DOTA/LoL, I would encourage you to check out the Blizzcon finals from this past weekend, which I think shows that it is still just as compelling as any of the other eSports out there.
This guy gets it. great notes and things to work toward for the author and contributors.
right, the "ladder anxiety" in being a reasonably good solo ladder SC2 player can be tough to get over for a new player with each loss, even though the matchmaking algo is pretty good at keeping you at a 50% winrate over time. The multitasking required for RTS is difficult and can be frustrating. It's also unclear how to improve efficiently, if you're not plugged in with the various forums/reddits/youtube, etc.
All of the other team based MOBA/FPS games seem so much more accessible and immediately rewarding. Aside from the current free-to-play boom, I think big companies like Blizzard see this and pour resources into Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm.
As a person who has played starcraft regularly since BW and SC2 beta and still plays today, if I was a kid looking at the competitive gaming landscape today, i feel like there's little chances I would go for and RTS over everything else that's out there.
one of the reasons i'm generally Ok with Slack's valuation is that there is a ton of room for a messaging service to offer a service that is secure and auditable at the level that the SEC/FINRA and Banks require. Like the article mentions, if you talk to the people using BBG, it's really the chat functionality that provides the main value for literally everyone, at least in my experience (former front office dev)
mine seem fine as well. I have a handful in common with that list. fingers crossed that they don't have to re-auth
Curious, which apps seem to be affected? Anecdotally, I hadn't seen any issues on my phone this morning with anything asking for a password, but on my laptop I did see a login prompt when i woke it from sleep.
I'm one of the engineers at Openfolio focusing mainly on the iOS app. We're really excited about our launch, and we're all around to answer any questions about the app or Openfolio as a whole.
Overcast by Marco of Instapaper fame has a great feature where it syncs your podcasts from the iPhone App to his web app at overcast.fm, so you can go back and forth between the two. It has been really useful in my experience
99% invisible has shot up to the highest priority in my playlist. highly recommended
wait, you define vaporware as something that will be released within the next 6 months?
Some mini-dp to HDMI adapters also pass audio through (including I believe the Apple branded one as well as one I bought after confirming reviews on Amazon), but I've also bought a couple that do not
How do you differentiate yourself vs something like CampBX, and do you have plans to tackle the regulatory hurdles that they have faced?
Nice! That scrub-able price over time screen is really slick. Did you use off the shelf charting stuff to create that or is it custom built?
ah, Dog Debugging - the lesser known cousin of "rubber duck debugging"
very cool, just forwarded this to some of my editor/writer friends
