What they don’t do is open their keynotes with announcements of the tweaks. This isn’t like the other situations.

I recall the A500 series as being thought of as 16-bit in the UK -- the 32-bit marketing started with the A1200, and devices based on it, like the CD32 (hence the name).

The human in the loop here said “no”, though. Not sure where you’d expect another layer of HITL to resolve this.

This team really have been thinking about weather a lot, and it makes me very curious about what they’ve created this time.

It’s that depth of thought and expertise that feels missing from most of the vibe-coded launches we’ve seen recently. I actually wouldn’t mind if Acme had vibe coded parts, but I bet they didn’t.

The law might be a bad one (and probably is) but on balance better that police investigate suspected illegality than don’t. Overall I’d rather be somewhere where even a former royal can be arrested than somewhere the rule of law is optional.

He was arrested for refusing to allow officers to enter his home on a pre-agreed return visit to discuss the complaints:

This is why the Daily Mail causes rolled eyes (along with Spiked and the rest of the right-wing agitprop).

This doesn't feel like good-faith. There are leagues of difference between "what you typed out" when that's in a highly structured compiler-specific codified syntax *expressly designed* as the input to a compiler that produces computer programs, and "what you typed out" when that's an English-language prompt, sometimes vague and extremely high-level

That difference - and the assumed delta in difficulty, training and therefore cost involved - is why the latter case is newsworthy.

Fastmail is the way. These are people for whom email is their job and focus and you get everything that comes with that, including good and responsive customer service.

Because we exist within a market, where the choices of others end up affecting us - if the market "votes" for a competing thing, that might affect the market for the things you care about.

Your car analogy isn't great, but we see a similar dynamic playing out with EV vs combustion, and we did with film-vs-digital cameras. "Don't buy a digital camera if you like film" sure didn't help the film photographers.

This is like "HTML isn't code" again. For non-technical readers, there is their own language, and there is "code" - a bespoke language used solely to instruct machines. If you can't type to the machine in your own language (eg like you can to a chatbot) then you're using code. "The machine" is the device on the desk.

"ls" is code. You type it into the machine's keyboard, and it understands your code and performs that instruction. The statement is not "radically" wrong, it's an oversimplification that both communicates correctly to the lay reader, and to the proficient reader who understands the nuances and why they're irrelevant here.

Tesonet initially assisted Proton with HR, payroll, and local regulation

Entirely normal behaviour for a competitor to provide “HR assistance”.

Mails are superior in announcing to multiple people

People who are known at time of sending. A slack message can be searched by those joining the team much (much) later, those who move teams, in-house search bots, etc. Mailing lists bridge this gap to some extent, but then you're really not just using email, you're using some kind of external collaboration service. Which undermines the point of "just email".

This is being blocked by my corp on the grounds of "newly seen domains". What a world.

Not sure the emotive language is warranted. Message appears to be “if you use robots.txt AND archive sites honor it AND you are dumb enough to delete your data without a backup THEN you won’t have a way to recover and you’ll be sorry”.

It also presumes that dealing with automated traffic is a solved problem, which with the volumes of LLM scraping going on, is simply not true for more hobbyist setups.

I could really really use something that would OCR and classify all the screenshots I take of stuff to remember. Have an enormous folder of the damn things.

Instead of tapping buttons to bold text or create headers, users could type *bold* or # Header directly into their notes.

Which will be more keystrokes, not fewer – it's faster to get to the formatting buttons than it is the punctuation keyboard on iOS, and even on Mac the shortcut commands are often faster too.

Notes was a fanastic example of a rich-text environment, but if Markdown input helps the die-hards that is great, so long as I don't have to ever see, use or be aware of it.

I’m not following your logic. The co-op is designed for everyone to care _more_ because they are part-owners and because the organisation is set up for a larger good than simple profit-making.

In practice the distinction has long been lost both for employees and members (customers), but the intent of the organisational structure was not for nobody to care; quite the opposite

It’s not weird at all; in other circumstances we call it a bonus.

You get baseline security by trading away the unlimited upside, but you are still incentivised to produce your best work by knowing if you help create a huge success you’ll get additional compensation for it.

Are any of those late betas available anywhere? Would love to see what that was like

Click “installation guides” > “book not found”.

I’m so tired.

What dialect is he using that has “plus” vs “+” and so on?

The A-series chips only support screen mirroring; with the M-class iPads you can have stage manager and multiple windows across two displays; and the main display runs at native resolution. It’s a far better (though still flawed) experience.

The mini is the absolute sweet spot for me - enough portability that I don’t mind the many restrictions of iPad OS. But the A-line chips and low-quality screen are problems, and not being able to properly dock it at a monitor is a real hinderance. None of those are addressed here, unfortunately.

You badly overestimate the technical chops of the parent-guardian cohort and underestimate the practicality of a printable PDF with key dates.

Quick thoughts:

- This is a good fit for how I manage to-dos: a stream of actions that I can tag and process. But with no simple way to remove a tag or mark a thing as "done" I can't filter the tag streams and see only undone items

- £14.99 to use Apple's iCloud syncing which a) I already pay for and b) is free to you feels a bit much.

This is precisely what I want. 7.6 with all-day battery life in an ultralight would be heaven for me.

Like the article says, threading can be tolerable with a programmer mindset but in more general audiences you often end up with just nests of essentially unthreaded conversations.

Even here it’s a major drawback on the very big threads, because it’s impossible to see what posts are new or keep current on the big discussions.

As soon as you see Dang posting a link to page two and promising software updates in future, you know you’ve no chance of understanding what’s being said.

None of these things are problems with unthreaded conversations, which easily scale to thousands of comments.

I don’t mind that iPadOS is limited, my gripe is that Apple limits Mac hardware to protect the iPad. Where’s my 11” OLED MacBook with eSIM? Where’s my Mac with hinged screen and Apple Pencil support? My mac with tolerable cameras?

I bet we’d have seen at least some of these if not for a decade of trying to make the iPad answer the “what’s a computer?” question.

A lot of PS 1.0's UI (2-col toolbox on the left etc) owes its heritage to MacPaint, which was a launch app for the Mac. Even the iPad shares keyboard shortcuts set by the original Mac, though has considerably broken away in other aspects.

is the failed attempts by Quark Xpress to update their product in the late 90s/early 00s

There were a number of factors here - outsourcing engineering leading to a disastrously buggy 4.0, then failing to move to OS X for years after the market was ready to, hostile and arrogant approach to customers ("where else will they go?") and finally the misbegotten attempt to turn a DTP app into a web design tool. InDesign 1 was fairly clunky, but everyone was desperate to escape.

It's an Amiga-like shambles of mismanagement that wasted an early lead; I am still nostalgic for both tbh.
