Daily I use a FileMaker default template as it allows me to attach docs and media along with text. And by-the-way, it has kept almost 5 years of daily pics of me! For meetings I use an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil using GoodNotes4—works great. I take a pic of the handouts and mark them up. Easy, orderly.
They're good. They only come to me when they're having a problem and it's only a few times a day so I can get a lot of work done. If I must, I close my door and put a sign "Coding but welcome" and I'm sure some just wait until it opens but I'll never know.
I thought this was about the programming language RUST—it's not. It is a diatribe about how this person feels Apple's software quality is going down hill. And get this... it's dated 2014. Not saying that it is old just that apparently this has been a noticeable trend for a longer time. Diatribe might be a little harsh a word.
This always makes me think that if we had a semantic web that this would be unnecessary. I know, I know, that's unrealistic but hear me out. It means that you wouldn't have to hoard data such as in this case. Yeah I know, terrible idea but I think about this logic.
I'm with you man. I walked into an Apple Store and tried the keyboard and said 'no go' but later I said I'd give it a try and it is just fine. Macbook for two years now.
I love this. I recall when Palm did an SF event and I thought they should have given every participant a phone–they didn't. Not long after they were gone.
I recall being on a weekend drill, camping and during the day we had A-10's flying low overhead, fast. I could see them looking up past the pine tree cover above us. Someone then told me it was just one A-10!
So glad this post came along. I was just thinking the other day that I am truly in favor of Apple splitting with one part iPhone and the other Macs. I really think that will bring back innovation in Mac hardware.
All that banter here aside, that was a really well written story. It's not often I enjoy a read from start to finish but I did. Thank you Paul Ford. - Brian
The engineer(s)/tech(s) name was never mentioned or the group members who came up with this. Why no credit? I'd be nice to read about a human with a name, a history, a story. I see that a lot in stories.
I just came from a state-wide, three day tech conference for K-12. I came as a technology person and thought I might just attend the sessions for teachers and boy did I get my eyes opened—Google Classroom is a major hit. Teachers really, really like Chromebooks. This is major.
Ah yes, not mentioned in that narrative is a personal experience that happened twice in the 90's. I used a couple of tools to help fix software on PC's. MS bought them and took them off the market.
I hate this. I too do a lot of off-line, never connected to the Internet devices and I don't want the god Google telling my users they're "not secure". My users know they're on a self contained network.
Wow. I use Etherpad every day. Really enjoy Colbert. Colbert is really innovative in his use of tech. He uses Adobe to make the cartoon Trump and gives regular updates to Adobe to improve the product(the name escapes me).
