10 Brute force medium into doing what it was not originally designed to do
20 Insist on native support for what was once a hack
30 goto 10
On the one hand you could say it's clever. On the other hand you might insist it's foolish to repeat this cycle. I'm not naïve, complaining, nor suggesting I have a better solution, but rather just making a personal observation.
(And regardless, I've been fortunate enough to make a living off this cycle for about 20+ years, having done it for fun for about 10+ years prior.)
The chances of being struck by lightning are exceedingly slim. But if you're venturing out on a mountain top in early summer your odds skyrocket. So shouldn't we widely inform people who are doing so of the dangers and what to be aware of?
I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall throughout the various discussions as this idea made its way across the Apple org.
That this was the dominant topic during the keynote of their annual developer event doesn't seem to bode well for the state of the ecosystem. Especially combined with how cutting the sarcasm was for the new version numbering and new macOS name announcement(s).
*facepalm* You're correct. I misread it every time, including the first time I scanned your comment. (A truly strange experience since that is not a common occurrence for me. I simply never saw a "v" there.)
You complain about oversimplification, then in the same breath complain about "random political stuff" being included. How is that not hypocritical, at best? This medical breakthrough would literally have not been possible without "politics". Get your head out of the sand. No one should be able to escape learning how their politics affects them or the society they are a part of. And if you want to enjoy the benefits of that society, then you don't get to complain about being reminded of how those benefits were achieved.
Pandering to people's fragile political sensibilities is how the U.S. got to this point where millions of citizens voted against their own self-interest because they thought candidates running on anti-intellectual, anti-science platforms was worth the zero sum "win".
Enjoy your weekends, eight hour workdays, clean air, and clean water—whether you like that those were all political or not!
Do you think katabasis' proposal is unhealthy for a society? It strikes me as healthy for parents to keep their kids at ideological home during an information pandemic, to provide access to educational material and shelter from social media.
> Weird is a brand new thing, but: Think of it as if WordPress and Notion had a Linktree-shaped baby. That is to say, a WordPress-type website engine with the editing experience of Notion and the simplicity of Linktree.
I really dislike the Wordpress ecosystem and I find Notions popularity baffling as it has been a really terrible experience for me when other people use it and send their Notion documents to me as requirements documents. So, not me?
That this is a foundational idea for anything is nauseating...
