You can feel the gpt fluff in between the plot. It’s unbearable. Beginnings of good prose that ramble off into word associations and nonsense content that reads like real sentenses. The computer clearly has no idea of the plot.

I agree it's disappointing. Any interesting automation is basically impossible. I've also found the arrival and leave triggers to only work about half the time, which seems a lot worse than I would expect from Siri location-based reminders which work pretty well.

The same folks also discovered https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_TG387 a while back, with a 1955 AU aphelion. That is a lot more far out. It's crazy to think about an orbit taking over 32 thousand years. I wonder what the sun looks like from out there.

Sounds useful for the very few macOS or iOS developers who happen to have Android phones.

I'm very much enjoying his memoir. If you want to hear what Oliver Sacks sounds like, there is a 10 - 20 minute interview with him in one of the latest episodes of radiolab (it's the second story)

Oliver is also on twitter (@OliverSacks). Anyone who is moved by his books should send him a tweet and let him know what he means to you.

Retested a year old EC bug, and it's now working in iOS 8, but not in iOS 7. Have not tested in OS X.

My older post of this bug is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7511347

You say "bugs" but many of these are clearly feature requests. There's a pretty big difference.

Sweet! Looks like they're responding to the MasterCard competition: https://www.simplify.com/commerce/

If you're an iOS dev, would really appreciate a dupe of the rdar. It's been an issue for a long time, apparently, and Apple needs some pressure to fix it, or at the very least stop saying it works and document the error.

If you want to see the error in action, check out https://github.com/josephhainline/AppleBugTLSConnectionFails...

Interface Builder doesn't let you do anything very dynamic (moving panels, things that animate, etc) anyway. In my experience, a person experienced at programmatic view creation is a bit slower on initial creation, but a lot faster at refactoring or changes. A few well placed variables, for example, gives you a lot of instantaneous visual control.

I agree about experienced iOS devs doing everything programmatically. IB is really, truly awful, and just about impossible to use in a team with CM. From most tutorials though, you'd think it was required. Not only is it not required, but it's easier and more powerful to not use it at all.
