They are missing substantial features like hashtags and follows, leaving you at their mercy to show you content. That would imply it's just a WIP shipped to nearly 100M people. It's doubtful it will ever shrink, given how much is

As an artist its totally pointless, no hashtags mean no discoverability. Intagram itself is overrun with pointless AI so forget anyone seeing your work. there. This seems barely a WIP anyway, they only released it because of Twitter implodi

Velocity is based on calculating exact numbers from wild ass guesses. Estimating story points is not an exact science; implementing things you've never done before adds more variability; pressure to go faster creates mistakes that take

Elon is fixing Twitter by reducing the amount of ads people see. Brilliant strategy.

I was on a commercial plane where the pilots could not tell if the gear was completely down and locked and got someone on the ground to look as we flew by slowly at low altitude. It appeared to be down, but they still landed very gingerly.

In the 1980's, the About box of most applications (Mac and DOS primarily) often listed most of the people who worked on them. Many of the people were also known to others; I usually met many at the precursor to WWDC. It was cool to see

Well built or not (clearly not) you could not pay me enough to be bolted into a carbon cylinder going down 4000 meters. Given the whistle blower this company has no hope of surviving any lawsuits, even if the victims (passengers) signed awa

Once your chat voice listener can access your private information like bank accounts, etc., I imagine things will listen to you everywhere. Perhaps every phone or device will be listening like Find My Devices except being Take My Money.

The CEO of SABRE (biggest airline res company) went in 15 years from Software Engineer to CEO. He was then forced out when he objected to the company becoming public again (owned by Hedge Fund). I am sure its not common though.

I did WO/EO for several years until 2001 including the USPS Postmaster app, and it was incredibly productive. This was before JS took over everything, but I can't ever recall being able to do so many client/server web apps wi

I don't want spaces where people talk about one thing in a bubble, and then have to manually jump from space to space. Reddit is both cesspool and useful resource, but I can easily move from space to space or combine them all into a bi

It's not out yet, anyway. Dismissing something that won't ship for another 8 months is not useful. The Dvorak article was likewise before shipping. I've heard this for everything Apple ever did since the Bondi iMac. I don&#x2

I can't run anything between System 2 and System 7 on my Mac Studio. Maybe the emulator used for those doesn't like Apple Silicon?

The hardest thing to realize starting a company is realizing when you are no longer sufficient to run the company. It's a big difference from starting something small to running something huge. It took Steve Jobs 10 years from being fo

And TikTok has no influencers, sure? At least on Youtube, you can see who is paying them to shill you. Every video online is potentially there to convince you to buy something, believe something, or motivate you to do something to make the

I could use Photoshop in my art creation, but I refuse to. Affinity Photo is good enough and doesn't cost a lot. I might miss a few features but my life is more pleasant without Adobe.

Most contracts between an OTA and a hotel chain included language requiring no lower price when I worked for an OTA 10 years ago. Not sure about today, but would not surprise me that nothing changed. OTA's are useful as a comparison bu

Any new technology will generate new opportunities to create new products. Doesn't mean all of them are useful, or even used. Only later do you discover all the things you never considered turn out to make them less than revolutionary.
