Re:On Apple's Piss-Poor Documentation on Tuesday November 10, 2020 @05:09PM (#25052696)
In some cases the documentation just plain wrong. Core data can be confusing, but worse with wrong documentation. I've had an open radar about the merge policy documentation for over 3 years and nothing has happened, even after talking to a core data engineer at WWDC in 2018.

These two should be the same, but see the conflicting description: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsmergepo... (in-memory changes trump) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsmergeby... (external changes trump)

Same here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsmergepo... (external changes trump) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsmergeby... (in-memory changes trump)

Re:Apple will host WWDC virtually, beginning June 22 on Tuesday May 05, 2020 @01:50PM (#23082710)
Does this mean they won't be able to say "WWDC__ will be our biggest yet" anymore (hopefully)?

I was looking for exactly this before and found the LightBlue Bean by PunchThrough, (https://punchthrough.com/bean).

The documentation is a bit on the weak side, but it's small, easy to use, and low-power (~1.3mA @ 3V connected, ~0.2mA advertising)!

I recently used one to make a BLE smartwatch that uses my iPhone as a network connection (http://workhardanywhere.com/smartwhatch)

OP Maker here. This is a project for fun, any thoughts/feedback welcome!
You're 100% right, the numbers are spots that are reviewed by WHA users. The Foursquare spots are still on the map, but aren't counted because we don't have the work-related attributes yet.
Cool, that sounds great! We'll make it more prominent on the website. Thanks again.
Love what workfrom is doing. We're both in the same space in empowering remote workers, but Work Hard Anywhere focuses on mobile, for on-the-go folks. And more than that, we'd like to encourage our users to build their own coffice community by sharing what they're working on, so people who are in the same space can find ways to network and collaborate with each other.
Ah I see, thanks for the suggestion! The app's quite new so we haven't added that many spots yet, but we're working on it. About 1000 of the spots added so far are non-US.

I guess in this case, these numbers are more of a disclaimer :)
