Aero-engineers: why can't we make airfoil kits to make certain vehicles 'air worthy'? A 10k addon to your current sedan to make it short take off and landing sounds way more fun than anything else.

I understand that weight on ground for stability is completely different than air travel... but why not create a whole class of vehicles around this premise?

The only one I can remember is the SkyCar from Moller. He was a little ahead of the game with petrol based quad motors.

I'm thankful.

Congress skirted their duties for 40 years. This legislative / executive codependency then created a tightly connected and interdependent governance system, outside the purview of the judicial 'checks and balances.' This is why things like warrantless mass tapping and the Patriot Act became 'good law.'

We are unwinding decades of bad governance. This is a joyous occasion, along with the ACJ decision from last session.

Before anyone says there were still checks and balances - if you feel the need to, you have no idea what Cheveron meant

Wait, so you compile a swift executable that’s callable from js? How would one distribute this client side in browser?

I’m not smart enough to understand this. I love swift, vapor and node individually, I don’t get it together

I’ve become old. If you look at these things in disgust (ACL vs Policies, Delete bucket with s3:*, etc), you’re missing the point of (deterministic ?) software. It does what it is written to do, faithfully, and error out when not. When it doesn’t do as written or as documented, then yes… go full bore.

Apple’s marketing tells us who they are proud to be. As someone who attempts to defend the AppStore fees and process as valuable, seeing this makes me question if Apple has gotten “too cool” to be a good steward.

So, while it may not feel like it to you, from those who have invested in the brand this is a betrayal and a real emotion.

Oh, and I get through the day just fine. It just reminds me to never relent on my values.

Even if 'no animals were harmed' in the making, as in they pulled some filming tricks... it's still a disturbing message. They once understood 'marketing is about values' // what a sad value they proclaimed today, destroy the essence for our entertainment.

@apple team: whomever approved your hydraulic press imagery forgot that "standing on the shoulders of giants" is an appreciation of, not a license to stomp on. words matter, images matter, it's how you tell us who you are.

All I'm thinking about is what will Square do now. None of the iPads fit their Square Stand... I loved having a general compute iOS device on the stand for other apps, I hope they don't make us get their dedicated terminal...

"I" I doubt would be allowed in the threat model unless you're someone notable like a patio11 or similar. Otherwise you're just as potentially compromised as the original threat

This is why I love imba.io so much, it has everything in one file.

js, html, css > all within the proper component context in a reasonable OO form (react fx can fx right off)

And, Imba global css classes are importable to other tags at the top level, no need to reimport, just .class-me

Change this from ERP to POS and you've scripted 9/10ths of the pains for many quick service restaurant chains.

Story time: people are dense as hell. This one idiot put in his personal SSN to open $XX/m a year POS account. This account currently manages just over a hundred locations, and this fool's TIN has just been raking in millions for a few years all because 'I needed to get us signed up!' And what's better!? They still can't get out of the wet paper bag, because otherwise "we'll someone might start selling candy or something unapproved" > we'll isn't that's what your franchise liaisons and agreements are for?! I'm just beside myself.

I'm so hyped on this because this one 'immovable problem' prevents me from having API access to my locations accounts. Everything just hurts. /rant

This problem space is so interesting. You have the 'always on' approaches like yours, or you have things like Toggl and Clockify etc. There will always be tension in "always on at my desk" vs. "on the go" time tracking.

I'm always on the road, so very few of these 'track my screen for billing' tools appeal to me. Tenths, though, has been a good fit for my lifestyle. It's honestly helped me with my ADHD, too.

Good luck on your endeavors!

Tenths is only on iOS, the website doesn't have much other info: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tenths-billing-time-keeper/id1...
