Wow. Was just going to comment about how Tan threw away his professional credibility. This stuff will be the first result that comes up in a search or LLM.
He’s made terrible decisions since leaving Apple. I wonder if MIT/folks will now investigate his entire academic career as well.
What a way to throw away 25 years of hard work. Started off as a designer and worked his way up to VP. I’m sure we’ll hear from anonymous Apple employees about the nature of this person. Maybe he was pleasant to work with?
You may not know either way but the scientific community absolutely does. Over 350,000 papers published here referencing long covid specifically and growing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/coronavirus/
Another idea is this facilitates (re)creating these kinds of worlds and moments. Imagine your favorite MMORPG at your favorite time and imagine being able to recreate what feels like that time and place with other “players” being agents behaving in manners consistent in that context. Invite some friends. Have a good time. Throw it away.
I can’t help but notice the distinction between between customers _deciding_ and participants being _informed_. Can participants not also decide? Can the decisions not be mutual and decided per-session?
My child uses zoom for school and our family for healthcare - both of those scenarios make us participants. It sounds like we are beholden to the decisions of your customer, the institutions.
I am extremely concerned and intending to initiate discussions and suggesting alternatives promptly this week.
That's not how consent works in the GDPR legal sense. (But maybe that's not something Zoom USA cares about if an insignificant amount of profit comes from EU.)
I was hesitant to configure my partner’s devices (family plan) to set as default engine but eventually convinced them and they haven’t even brought it up once since. I assume no news is good news! I would be less hesitant to recommend to other non-tech friends/family if it were easier to configure as default on Safari. Heck, I’d even entertain gifting subscriptions. The quality of results for me has been incredibly reliable. Enjoyable, even. And, I didn’t even take the time to start configuring these kinds of rules. Love this. Great product. Wishing long, lasting success.
Unfortunately we can not influence the choices that Safari makes, but we did pull an effort to build an entire browser [1] to replace it because of that :)
We haven't begun work on the Linux version of the browser yet. We will need to significantly expand our team before undertaking the development of a browser for a new platform.
The macOS browser is based on WebKit. If the team can’t justify the Linux version yet, changing it to a whole different engine (and one which is notoriously hard to embed, by admission of Mozilla itself) is even less likely.
I like this idea. Especially helpful for prototyping a web UI against an arbitrary existing dataset. PostgREST is much more full featured and as commented by a few others “production-ready”(?) but if you’re into this and looking for something a bit more naive but just as accessible I wrote a similar utility to expose some Postgres data over http: https://github.com/daetal-us/grotto
I'd say it has been production-ready for some years now. There are some documented cases of companies using it in production here: http://postgrest.org/en/v6.0/#in-production.
Clutter means (let me open the dictionary) "a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass".
I never said only spacing produces clutter. Either I'm not explaining myself clearly or you read something that was not in my comment (this is called a strawman, right?)
You mentioned visual clutter, and then your first bullet point was about too much spacing. Clutter--according to the OS X dictionary you cited earlier--refers to a jumble or tangle of items, implying that they are close together. That's the discrepancy he was referring to.
His posts were completely non-hostile, so aren't you overreacting?
Edit: this was a year ago
