Swift (Lattner) was right, imo, to exclude both.

I enjoy building apps for macOS in my spare time. Most recently, a little one-off app for making macOS (mostly) usable without reaching for the mouse or trackpad (keyboard-driven).

I am no macOS expert, but I already have a handful of questions about how touch input is going to work.

How will hiding/showing hidden menu bars and docks work? What about all the various UI elements that display based on conditionally hovering the mouse? How does one move a window from one space to another via touch input -- hot corners, I guess?

Needless to say, I doubt I am the target audience for this device.

I can actually see a possibility where this improves UI/UX a bit. One being the removal of some many hover-over UI elements, e.g., the (x) button on notifications do not display unless a mouse is hovering over the notification badge.

So, it may makes things a little easier for some GUI scripting. I can also see the UX improving for some disabilities, but I know that is merely coincidental rather than intentional.

Simulation is already great, and one can (and should) test their app on device.

While true, I do not believe kids are the intended market for a laptop in which the entry model starts near $3k USD.

I think that is part of the beauty of Emacs -- it is what one makes of it.

I assume everything that happens between a user and any cloud model is permanently logged somewhere regardless of whether some feedback button is pressed or not.

Vanilla JS handles reactivity just fine with it's built-in methods.

I feel like so many devs forget:

1. How utterly dogshit the vast majority of code is.

2. How utterly dogshit some of the most important or famous products and services are under the hood.

So what if LLMs can do something better? Our entire field and industry has been built on 'good enough'. God knows how many programming 'masterpieces' are on Github with 0 stars and 0 users.

I am more excited about programming by hand now more than ever. While I do not know what the future has in store for us in terms of careers, I still think I will always program by hand for fun just because I enjoy the feel of the flow-state/getting lost in something.

While I applaud Australia's initiatives, I am becoming more and more convinced that a lot of people are already in (or heading towards) situations that the mental healthcare field can do very little, if anything, to improve.

The ones you are recommending in your comment history were not much cheaper than my custom, 3-D printed one from my dentist. Impression molded guards have nothing on what I ended up getting. I wish I knew the name of the device that was used to make it.

No honor amongst thieves, eh?

I believe when medical professionals make comments like your dentist, what they are truly trying to say is that investigating the cause is likely a moot effort.

However, many patients would probably be even more dissatisfied with such an answer. Sadly, knowing the underlying cause of a condition does not always translate into a better treatment protocol or prognosis.

I tried all kinds of cheap options before shelling out the big bucks for a custom made guard. It's a night and day difference. The custom guards are ridiculously priced, but I cannot go back to OTC guards after having one.

> put a chunk of plastic in my mouth to stop the grinding.

I have paid for two of these custom made guards. By far, have both been worth every single cent. I sleep so much better and have already reduced wear on tear on my teeth. I cannot sleep without my guard.
