Taking advantage of it. Mid 20s, Moved my stuff to parents house and exploring Asia while working remotely. Sometimes it’s lonely and pricey, but its one of a kind opportunity.
Not an OP, but two things have recently come to me:
1. Calendar view with hours/minutes on macOS. You have current date on top, or Calendar app. I want to have shortcut to access this app/view, without leaving full screen mode.
2. Scratchpad on status bar for macOS. Evernote has it, but I don't use this app anymore. Just simple scratchpad, same as calendar view, accessible via shortcut, without leaving fullscreen. I often build an app in Xcode and want to note sth to myself, but making comments on Xcode would mess up building process. And I don't want to leave fullscreen mode to go to Notes app - slow, distracting and I have to create new note in correct folder.
I like Terry Crews attitude:
“TREAT THE GYM LIKE A SPA.
Yes. It has to feel good. I tell people this a lot - go to the gym, and just sit there, and read a magazine, and then go home. And do this every day.
Go to the gym, don't even work out. Just GO. Because the habit of going to the gym is more important than the work out. Because it doesn't matter what you do. You can have fun - but as long as you're having fun, you continue to do it.”
I’m practicing the same - it’s mostly about the routine, habit, without aiming lofty goals. That’s probably why most of the side projects fail - overachieving and aiming perfection.
Not necessarily, it could be also just a piece of software, OSS, or just a flop. There’s a long way to startup, escpecially when OP is a nerdy man without startup mindset.
I just dont like that nowadays “any potentially useful software project = startup”.
Ha, so Facebook by claiming 30% of the profits basically advertised Patreon and Liberapay by not emphasizing the benefits. Instead of promoting 'ready-to-use' audience they've been caught in the middle between high percentage and fuzzy copyright rules.
Good job
Here are the rules: you can offer subscription on your site, but you can't link to it in the app. If you want to buy a subscription for Netflix/Spotify in the app, then Apple will take 30% cut.
Some sites give this option with increased price by 30% to move payments to their sites, some don't.
Yeah, I kinda feel the same way about the content. It's like 'coding, not programming', 'what was your biggest achievement today? Mine was no conflicts ;)' and other silly wholesome comments.
But yeah, the performance of the site is phenomenal.
Thats true, since its clearly an overall design flaw, not a problem with some units.
But even that they will state ‘small percentage’ to not make it clear.
Probably thats why many programmers have many great ideas but fails to come into reality. They cannot gain any fun from side project since they automatically want to ‘learn’ new framework, language, etc. Instead of messing around and looking how their idea grows into something fun.
Its about having fun from creating, not from learning the proper way since beginning.
Its clear when you tell your friends about your new idea - they would say ‘oh thats sounds cool!’, but when I tell the same to my programming friends I would rather hear ‘you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem, so it doesnt make sense’
I've got 15" 2017 and for me the keyboard is not the biggest problem; rather it's the integrated graphics.
Intel HD 630 is so bad that I can spot the lag during scroll in Safari. I switched to Radeon by turning on Photos.app(yes, if you ran Photos it would switch to discrete graphics).
I just can't grasp why the 13" has better integrated graphics than 15".
Yeah, it's also bugging me. From a perspective of a person that's really into this topic and creates some stuff/software - this is invaluable info, only if would be more descriptive. Unfortunately most people treat such topics as "this title is bogus, my experience is completely different, here's why in one sentence, since I won't waste any second more about this". And that's why I love real world conversations since you can immediately receive feedback just by asking 'oh why is that'. In Internet this question just strikes the emptiness and that person doesn't feel obliged to provide any feedback.
And also makes discussion a mess since commenter doesn't provide any context to challenge that opinion - is he native in X language? Is he student/PhD/professor, etc.
I'm assuming that they postponed it due to iOS 11 bad reputation. People can handle dozens of UI glitches and crashes, but disappearing messages, sync inconsistencies would drive consumers crazy.
Everyone was having fun, eating and singing Mariah Carey. Christmas is over and moods are worse, so here's the good Santa Apple Claus is bringing you a gift.
That's the logic behind this, I guess... ;)
I'm wondering whether this live blur effect might have played a big part here. Since its full screen, macOS doesnt need to render all these fancy effects. I'd like to see similar tests with live blur turned off.
I haven't much time to look at CoreML, but I do know a little bit how it's done before this new framework.
For instance, Inception v3 model was 'rewritten' to use in MetalPerformanceShaders(part of Metal framework on iOS). Since model provides parameters, you do know what 'layers' need to be used to implement inference network based on Inceptionv3. And this is quite difficult to do, looking at the code.
But here, bam - drag and drop, auto-generated classes and code, and you're ready to go, I guess. If it's working like this, I'm quite impressed.
Totally agree. I have subscriptions in both services, Apple Music and Spotify. Im still wondering how its possible that Spotify managed to handle smooth buffering way more better than Apple. It works flawlessly, even when Im entering and leaving airplane mode during loading song. On Apple music, both on Mac and iPhone, it needs to prebuffer for few seconds and is laggy when I quickly skip songs. Just awful.
Lurk GitHub repos for solutions that you've done some time ago. It could clearly show what you've been doing correctly and what you could improve.
Then, if you see some place for improvement in some repo, make a pull request. Great way to learn, period.
