It'll be up on Setapp tomorrow. Not planning to sell directly at the moment.

Thus far, the Sandbox hasn't been a limitation for what I want to do - it's pretty clear that that's the way that Apple is moving, and I don't want to invest too much into something that Apple could eventually put behind some very scary dialogs, or worse.

All of that is managed by the Secure Enclave in exactly the same way that it is for all over auth on Apple devices. The browser doesn't touch it at all.

Web 2.0. Such a bright outlook in those days :)

You can fix this by removing the “Google” account and connecting to Gmail as a regular IMAP account.

Since I did that, I haven’t had any issues with this.

Siri can also show web results on watch. I believe the News app uses WebView as well.

Grandparent was saying that paracetamol is a synonym for Tylenlol/acetaminophen

I distinctly remember using that feature on Windows 98

Google Search App. The app called "Google" on Android and iOS.

None of this is true in modern iOS.

It's no longer true since iOS 13. Safari has a full-featured download manager now.

There is already an emoji for the company:  (only works on iStuff)

Swift handles this exact problem quite elegantly with the "if case let" construct, allowing you to destructure sum types directly within an if statement.

Karabiner can map it to Esc on its own, but to Ctrl if you combine it with another key. Best of both worlds.

FWIW, I work for Google (not on google.com), and would definitely fit into the "geek" category, and I still assumed you were talking about an OSS search engine.

It is the exact same thing. The first cup of black tea brewed from given leaves has about half as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

You're in luck! Those requirements were removed months ago. You can use Assistant with those settings disabled no problem.

This is already the world with JavaScript. It can be nice as the compiled code is still humanly understandable.

Considered building something like this last year, and couldn't find any prior art online. Looking forward to reading your report!

Unfortunately, the line drawing doesn't make this as cool as it could be. The line representing the flight from BOS to PEK is drawn due west, as would look natural on a 2D map. The real flight (and shortest route) heads north and passes near the north pole.

Hope they can update this, which would make international flights seem even more impressive than they already do.

Google has been doing this for ages, not only with Books results but web search results. If the query is associated with some Entity, it will return various (hopefully useful) about that entity even if they do not contain text involved at all.

This is how, for example the query "that movie where there are two magicians" returns varied results about The Prestige, whereas "that movie where there are four magicians" returns various results about Now You See Me.

A pure text search would likely return very similar results, but the entity mapping heavily impacts the search results.

The irony.

If you put a newline in the middle of a word English, it changes the meaning too.

It's going away for non-ChromeOS systems.

Out-of-the-box, no (I needed to cap myself to prevent scope creep). But adding that functionality as a custom command would be very trivial. If a member of the community does not make a custom command very early on, I will likely do it myself, because that would be super useful.

Custom Commands are built using Javascript, and have all of the power of Node.JS at their disposal. Check out more details here: https://github.com/lacona/kickstarter-nerd-details

Full disclosure: Lacona is on Kickstarter, shooting for launch in January.

I'm the developer, feel free to ask any questions!
