I see what appear to be fewer AWS examples using Angular, not sure if due to the ongoing YouTube-FireTV "feud". For example the latest AWS Amplify and AppSync JS libraries have proper support for React since day one, but Angular is in future plan.
Seriously if there is a plan to deprecate Hangouts, then it should not use back the same brand for GSuite to confuse users.
Do not understand why the need to have separate app for video chat, especially the one consumer facing. WhatsApp, WeChat etc all combine text, voice and video chat in one.
I see Flutter the same as in React Native and Xamarin, cross platform mobile UI framework that provides native feel. PWA is an attempt to make web apps/sites work as well as native, web app/site by default is "cross platform". Google is not going to replace PWA with Flutter or vice versa. Just two groups within Google with different ideas on PWA vs native dev. Similar to GMail vs Inbox, Polymer vs Angular Elements, Go vs Dart, Allo vs Hangouts etc.
The new Nokia 7 Plus appears to be a good choice for a mid range at €390. Runs Android One so no crapwares. Snapdragon 660, 4G ram, 18:9 screen, quick charging, 3.5mm jack, NFC.
There is no opinion of him on Apple implementing features from third party apps into it's platform. Would be interesting since he's such a big Apple fan.
There is a Angular Elements project in Angular's 2018 roadmap to make it easy to create web component. This feature likely will be in AngularDart. There is also an early stage project to create light weight Angular to be JQuery replacement and non-CRUD apps.
I'm no audiophile, I do realize from reading speakers review in audiophile magazine that they tend to compare speakers in the same particular price range. The OP review seems to suggest that a dual HomePod stereo setup (about $700-800) could well compete with audiophile grade speakers in sub $1000 range. It is great feat by Apple if they can achieve it with their stereo release later this year. HomePod is "engineered" sound with its surrounding acoustic adjustment etc and I bet a large portion of audiophile prefers their gears to have a more faithful reproduction of source material. Anyway HomePod will not be the only gear for hardcore audiophile as they tend to have exotic source material equipment which HomePod can not accept. It is interesting to see in near future when dual HomePod can be used with AppleTV for movie viewing with simulated centre speaker and surround sound. I remembered Tim Cook said they finally cracked home TV few years back, maybe HomePod + AppleTV is the solution.
Apple has officially said that stocks are constrained for IPX during launch. You can easily get an iPhone X in Singapore two weeks after its launch in late Nov onwards. And this is the week IPX is launching in further 13 countries. For the past many years, limited number of new iPhone are given to telcos each day during launch month. If you want to get one through telco, you have to queue up before the shop opens and stocks are gone by noon. Unless Apple changes its marketing strategy by flooding IPX to a very small Singapore market, I see this as clear sign demand is weak.
> This is interesting, as the majority of the publicity I've seen about the iPhone X has painted it as lackluster.
It probably has become lackluster in some countries thus giving those reports. Definitely true in Singapore, there were plenty of IPX stocks available in Dec unlike previous years. But it's doing very well in China so overall it's a win for Apple.
> but the Airplay2 support will be baked into the OS so I don’t need to use a clunky 3rd party app
Do not expect everything smooth sailing with Apple software. Currently when I AirPlay video to AppleTV, I can not use the remote controller to pause and play as there will be no sound. I suspect one reason for the HomePod delay is due to bugs.
Actually I'm hoping what HomePod can do: when I come home listening to Spotify/Audible/podcast on my earphone+iPhone, HomePad auto turn on when I walk into house, the song/audiobook/podcast I'm halfway listening to on my iPhone will automatically transfer to HomePod to continue playing.
Another very annoying bug. When you press the Home button with your non-Touch-ID registered finger, an "Enter Passcode" screen will appear. But when you cover that finger let say with a tissue paper and press, nothing happen. So I can not unlock my iPhone 6s when I go jogging as I put the phone in a case with a clear front plastic. Even when I use the AssistiveTouch and place a virtual Home button I get the same bug. But this bug does not occur all the time, probably 80-90% of the time. Did Apple change the TouchID feature to require sensing our flesh in order to work?
One more bug in case Apple is reading this (used to file bugs under Apple's BugReporter but seems like no one is reading them): When you AirPlay a video from iPhone to Apple TV 4th gen, you then can not use the AppleTV Remote hardware to pause and play, as the audio will be lost. All with latest iOS, tvOS.
You can also enlarge the default font size similar to desktop browser. Can not do that on Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Reading this site on UC is much easier on my eyes.
If you visit Singapore telcos (SingTel, StarHub, M1) physical store, you will see a signboard listing availability of iPhone models. For the past many years, the stocks for new models are generally "Not Available" during Christmas shopping season. So to buy iPhone at telco store during this period, you have to queue up before the store open in order to get the daily limited units released for sale. I just visited telco stores in a busy shopping mall this evening, and all of them listed iPhone X as "Available" for all color and memory size. This is clear sign that its not selling as well as expected here.
I take it that next year we will see a totally different macOS user interface, in order to make the one ux experience alignment. macOS has not had major UI changes for a few years, so maybe macOS app with no menu bar?
Did not read the article, looks like someone is writing to boost the rise. As of this writing BTC is about $18.6k. It was hovering around $19.5k this past weekend.
What's the benefit or use case of running serverless on-premise? Isn't the whole ideal of serverless is that you do not maintain servers yourself? Instead of specific Lambda/FaaS solution for on-prem, could we not just use docker package the function in startup script to achieve the same?
Maybe for VueJS's smaller size. As for React or Vue, VueJS is simpler, easier to learn, compatible with web components, comes with default router and Vuex redux style store from the core team. So this avoid lots of learning time by new user as to which router to choose, should I learn redux or mobx etc. Typical React/Redux app is full of biolerplate, where VueX is hiding them. VueX also specify a default way of dealing with async, where's in Redux you have many options that could be confusing to new user. There is also bulitin html animation/transition support. Also web dev tools for Chrome and Firefox are from core team.
Am I the only one who finds Discord iOS unusable due to the small font which is not changeable? Also the font color is of low contrast whether you in its light or dark theme.
